During the last few month, a lot of things have been done in our beloved order. The archives have grown and now offer you lots of opportunities to explore the writings of  your fellow Krath.. Of course you do not only find regular submissions here, but all the stories and poems that were send in for Dark Brotherhood competitions. The main reason for the archives is to share ideas and have a place to put our work on for everyone, Krath or not, to read. If your writings are unnoticed somewhere in a folder of your directory or even buried in your drawer, those writings are dead. So, if you want those stories and poems to become alive, submit them now... as long as they are in any way  related to EH/DB matters, they will most likely fit in - and thus make our artificial world a little bigger. You will of course also get recognized for your work... a nice little side effect of resurrecting your writings. And if you happen not to have any writings ready to send in - start a new story or a new poem. Because that is the main purpose of our order. A lot of Krath have already sent in their writings - but there can never be to much of activity... For those of you who are not sure what to write about - this can happen to the best of us from time to time - there are suggested topics available at the archive site. 

Besides the archives, other things have been done. A mailing list for Krath members is establishing, the Krath High Priest page has also been updated. If you happen to plan on joining the mailing list - mail Arania Lawakiro (lwaxanatroi@okay.net) or subscribe via egroups to krath@egroups.com. Also, the changes in the organizational structure of the Brotherhood have proven well. Now you can be sure your house leaders know about the Krath order and can help you out if needed. Then, the Brotherhoos will soon get a message board for run on stories only. The Krath will benefit from this as well. Watch the main message board and the mailing list for news. If you are on the mailing list already, feel free to mail your ideas and comments. 

Despite all the activity among established Krath members,  we should not forget those just starting out in out order. New members are highly encouraged to pass the Shadow Academy courses. Not only do they allow for a  faster promotion up to Guardian, the courses are also a lot of fun. By doing the Shadow Academy courses one can learn a lot about the Brotherhood, especially about the resprective order, and those who pass will most likely benefit from this knowledge. Also, every Krath that graduates makes the order stronger. And strength is something we all desire... Those of you who have not yet reached the rank of Guardian but have already started in the SA - you will certainly continue and finally pass. Remember, you can always ask your house leaders if you encounter any problems... 

The stories and poems of the winners - two each tied for 3rd place - from the Grand Jedi War are here for you to read, in order of their placing. Enjoy - and visit the archives for more... this of course also goes for those of you who are not Krath (yet).

Krath's eyes upon you...
