Greetings, Tyrants! Khryso here, delivering the latest Tyranus report straight to your metaphorical doorstep. Not a lot of crazy or interesting news to go over this month, but I do have some members to shout out, lots of accomplishments to laud, and a few things to say as House Tyranus' newly(ish) appointed Quaestor. So without further ado, I'm going to get right into the meat of things. Let's report!

The Quaestor's Musings

First and foremost, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who congratulated me upon my appointment to Quaestor, I appreciated the well wishes. I also want to thank everyone for putting their faith in me. I'd especially like to thank the Plagueian summit as a whole, as well as Tahiri and Taranae for helping me along the way. I'm hoping I can live up to your expectations and I'll be doing my best to do what must be done. If you ever are having a problem with the way I am doing things or I seem to mess something up, please reach out and let me know so that I can work to improve. My goal is to serve the membership so I don't want to leave anyone feeling as though I haven't been there for them if they need me. Despite having been in leadership for over a year now, I often still feel as though I'm learning the ropes and trying to get a grasp on it all, so I respectfully request your continued understanding in that regard. Now, with that all out of the way, I'd like to say I definitely have some ideas and plans for Tyranus I'd like to execute in the future. Look forward to it, Tyrants, and hopefully it won't be too much longer before I can get the ball rolling. Now, enough of me, let's get to talking about the fantastic members of House Tyranus!

New Members

Apparently, whoever is working over at the Tyranus recruitment office has been quite busy. In the month since the previous report, we've had four new members become Tyrants, which is great to see! First and foremost, a member who has been in Plagueis for a while returned from the Rogues and slid right into Battleteam Talzin. Welcome back, Count Ruthven! Not long after, another experienced member entered the House. While he's been around the Brotherhood for a long time, this is his first time in Plagueis. Welcome, Saal Kesyk! Quite recently, we've had a pair of fresh faces arrive on Aliso. New to Tyranus, Plagueis, and the Brotherhood, please welcome Del Oscuro and Isasan Truwig! With so many new Tyrants, I would not be surprised if things start getting quite lively around here. I can't wait to see what you all have in store for us and I look forward to the great accomplishments I am certain you will achieve.

Member Accomplishments

Here I'll be presenting all of the great accolades and accomplishments you Tyrants have achieved in the past few months. Before we get to that, however, I'd like to shout out one member in particular who has been absolutely killing it lately. That would be, of course, Nora Olen. In a bit you'll be seeing just what she's been up to, but needless to say, despite being a newer member, she has become an exemplar. Excellent work, Nora, and keep it up!

With that, my report comes to a close. Keep up the awesome work, Tyrants, and I look forward to serving as your Quaestor. Any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to reach out on either Discord or through email. I know I don't post a lot on Discord, but I do lurk quite a bit. I'll be around even if you don't see me. Until next time, Tyrants, adieu.

-Khryso Mallus, Quaestor of House Tyranus
