MESSAGE FROM THE GRAND MASTER

As yet another vendetta between the Houses of the Brotherhood comes to an end, House Scholae Palatinae stands victorious once again.   The powerful Dark Jedi of this House grow in the Dark Side with each victory they achieve.

Over the last two months the Brotherhood has seen the dawn of a new era of prestige and infinite power... I have revealed the Grand Master's Royal Guard, to protect the Iron Throne on Eos, and the Clan system has been revised so that an even greater level of order may be brought to the Houses of the Brotherhood.  Information regarding the new Clan system and Grand Master's Royal Guard may be found in the Dark Side Compendium.

Many new people have taken seats on the Dark Council during the last few months, including:  Deputy Grand Master, Adept Divide by Zero; Headmaster, Adept Whafro; Archon, Adept Haem; Sith Advisor, Sith Warlord Crimedog; and the Commander of the Guard, Obeliskan Warlord Faron.  Congratulations and good luck to all of these members who are now among the leaders of the Brotherhood.

Now, my dark allies, we will begin eliminating our opposition one by one... the light shall be extinguished, and the Reign of Darkness shall rule forever!

Fleet Admiral Lord Justinian Khyron
Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood

The Shadow Academy is expected to reopen on Monday, January 18, 1998. This is a completely new system from the previous system, and details will be released on the web site as soon as the SA is opened.

Speaking of which, the SA site is at http://sa.jounce.net, or http://www.jounce.net/sa, whichever works.

If you have any questions, Sith-specific questions can go to my praetor, SBL Bane Vader (WrathCalin@aol.com), Obelisk-specific questions can go to my Magistrate, SW Mark (GAMark99@aol.com), and Krath-specific and any other questions can come directly to me, DA Whafro (jackw@jounce.net).

OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR

Comments from the Chancellor:

In the past month quite a bit has happened. Another house competition has came and went. Once again, House Scholae Palatinae prevailed. HSP managed to win both parts of the Sith Competition, giving them seven points, won a trivia contest, and placed their three Obelisk competitors in the top three, also giving them seven points. This gave HSP a total of 15 points for the competition. House Satal Keto was runner-up, winning all portions of the Krath Competition for seven points. Obelisk order had a competition this round, which was new.

The top three placers in the comp were given points towards their house. OW Stretch, JH Imp22, and APP Reaper placed in that order. OW Stretch was promoted to OBM, while JH Imp22 was promoted to DJK. Grats to both of them. Also, congratulations to all of HSP for winning yet another House Competition. The Quaestor of HSP, SBL Wrath, and its Aedile, SBM Menacer, both were awarded an Emerald Dagger for continuos good work on winning house competitions. Also, HSP was awarded a prize for winning, which is a small moon of their own that will be named by them.

On a side note, be sure to check out http://members.aol.com/morgoth3/housecomp.html for the most up to date information on the house comps. Good luck to all houses in the future competition!

Thank you all for your submissions to the Dark Voice and contributions to the Dark Brotherhood over the last few months... it is because of you that the Dark Brotherhood is such a huge success!

Good luck, and may the Darkness defend you...!
