It is my very great pleasure to announce the promotion within the group of Tacronicus Cornelius to the position of Arbiter. He has more than earned his promotion due to his tireless work for the group, spearheading the recent recruitment drive that has paid such dividends with the recent new additions, as well as acting as Military Advisor and helping to sort out some of recent battles we have had, as well as a myriad of other tasks for the group.

This promotion has been necessary due to the continuing absence of Corvus, who has unfortunately been absent from the group for a month now.

Also, a very warm welcome to all those who have joined us recently - and there are several. I look forward to seeing your progress and the development of your characters. If you have any queries, Tacronicus and myself will be pleased to help you, as I'm sure will the other players of the game.

Finally, congratulations to all those who stood in the recent elections, and indeed to everyone who has been contributing to the excellent storylines we have seen here. We are seeing something of the summer lull that affects all of AW, but I am sure that the prospect of a new RR year starting in August IRL will see a new burst of activity.

Keep up the good work everyone!
