Dark Crusade

The end begins November 8th. Phase Two Chapter Three of the Dark Crusade is our last chance to show how awesome ArcOWNa really is and begin to re-establish Qel-Droma as the dominant House of the Shadow Clan. Each and every one of us will be the reason we win or lose this year long vendetta. Success is our only motherf***ing option, failure's not.

Anything Else?

Each one of you have received an e-mail from me personally. I asked questions to get to know each of you and figure out where you want to go and how I can help you get there. While out of the usual, I'll be doing this every month. There are also a few other e-mails out there that are important for some Arcona and HQD projects. You can talk to me any time you like, but I feel this encourages strong communication between us and let's us get to know each other.

TL;DR

• HQD QUA form
• ACTIVITY GALORE!
• Operation: Shadow Knife results
• Dark Crusade P2C3 begins 11/8/2013
