MESSAGE FROM THE GRAND MASTER…

It is unfortunate that war often erupts between our Houses and Clans within the Brotherhood of the Dark Jedi; but in these times of conflict, only one House becomes the victor.

As a recent conflict comes to an end, we see House Scholae Palitinae emerging as the First House of the Brotherhood. Through the valiant efforts of Sith Battlelord Wrath and all of warriors of Scholae Palitinae, the House has reigned supreme…for now. As a result, HSP has been awarded by the Star Chamber a Corvette to spread their might throughout the galaxy. Of course, the new CRV stands risk of being taken by greater emerging powers in the Brotherhood.

It should be noted that the Brotherhood is not at constant internal conflict…Our Houses and Clans are strong and powerful, mostly in part by the iron grip of the Star Chamber, the guiding wisdom of the Dark Council, and the able leadership of the Quaestors and Aediles within the Brotherhood. Recently, the Grand Master has appointed several new Quaestors and Aediles to guide the Houses of Tarentum and Ar’Kell. Sith Warrior Sauron is now the Quaestor of House Ar’Kell, while Sith Battlemaster BillBob has become Aedile. In House Tarentum, Sith Warrior Torquemada has emerged as Quaestor with Sith Warrior Faron becoming Aedile. All new appointees have sworn allegiance to the Brotherhood, to their House, to the Grand Master, and to the Emperor’s Hammer… As stated by Sith Warrior Torquemada:

Upon my Honor as a Warrior of the Order of Sith in the Dark Brotherhood, I swear allegiance to Tarentum my House and Alvaak my Clan; by the blood of my enemies I swear allegiance to Justinian Khyron, Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood and Dark Lord of the Sith; to the Dark Brotherhood itself, I pledge my allegiance with the strength of the Force which is mine to command; and I affirm my loyalty and allegiance to the Emperor's Hammer and its goals.

Who doubts me impugns my honor; let not his tongue speak that which his sword dares not prove.

            Sith Warrior Torquemada
            Quaestor of House Tarentum

May all of the new leaders of our Brotherhood Houses serve the glory that is the Dark Side and work together to restore the grandeur that was the Empire. As Emperor Palpatine stated…

But in the Dark Empire, among the followers of the dark side, there must be a basic cooperation.
Betrayal is capable of provoking an explosive outpouring of anger, but the Final Order cannot tolerate it, or its consequences.
When the Dark Empire is complete, the followers of the dark side will share my power of being able to observe each other.
Betrayal will no longer be practical. Only with this basic cooperation can the order of Dark Jedi attempt the next task, the conquering of the entire galaxy, and then, in the distant future, other galaxies...

Glory to the Empire!
Lord Justinian Khyron

PROMOTION OF THE MASTER AT ARMS
Grand Master Khyron made a special communiqué to Dark Side Adept Thedek to come to the Dark Lord’s Castle on Aurora Prime… When Thedek arrived, he was called to the Grand Master’s Throne Room. Thedek nervously walked into the Throne Room and bowed before Grand Master Khyron saying, "At your command, my master…"

Khyron motioned for Thedek to stand and he said, "You have served the Brotherhood well as Master at Arms, Thedek…In reward for your remarkable service, I am elevating you to the rank of Dark Jedi Master." Khyron outstretched his arms, his hands glowing. Thedek bowed his head and outstretched his arms as the Dark Force flowed through his body. Thedek left the Dark Lord’s Castle with a new sense of power and might. He heard Khyron’s voice in his mind, "Glory to the Empire……"

FROM THE HERALD’S OFFICE
Please see the file HERALDDV1.ZIP attached for 3 new Grants of Arms recently approved by the Brotherhood Herald, Master Hawkeye (Hawk1009@aol.com).

Comments from the Herald, Master Hawkeye:

1. If you have visited the on-line Heraldic Roll it is very dated. I quickly ran through the 2MB’s granted me by Geocities. I’m in the process now of trying to get an account set up with ProHosting. Once that’s done I’ll be updating the Heraldic roll. Please be patient while I work this out!

2. Interested in receiving a Grant of Arms?? Visit http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/9171/herald.html, The Herald’s Chambers on the web. All the information you need to develop your GOA is there, including links to information on heraldry as well as the DB Heraldic Roll on line. Graphically challenged?? Visit anyway and fill out the specification sheet contained in the GOA package for a Grant of Arms. The friendly folks at the Herald’s Office will gladly design your GOA for you.
