My Brothers in Darkness,

I begin to tire of being forced to apologize to the members for the delay in this release,
however the blame lays fully with me. It is undeniable that there are off-line things that effect
one's online efforts, and this was the case with me. My mother we trusted to a hospitals care
for surgery on and removal of a cancerous growth, and my priorities needed a rapid
rearangement. Your understanding is appreciated.
In the news, the DB IRC meetings continue to grow, with myself being the only absent
council member, and that for the reason listed above. For his great controbutions, Adept
Crona has been elevated to Master. Also, I have been awarded the MoH for my efforts in the
Brotherhood, but this award is more deserved by the members, with out whom I would not be
the Grand Master. This means that almost the entire council holds the highest award for valor...

Grand Master Paladin
