• August 19: Professor Natsumi, Athar Adept is hereby appointed as the new Acadamie Regent. It is with great sadness we bid a farewell to Professor Nagisa, we know not what his fate is as he has gone beyond even Natsumi and the Arcanus Adeptus' considerable reach. We hope for his eventual safe return, he will be transferred to the alumni rolls with honor until such time as he returns when he will be immediately returned to the Adept ranks.

• July 17:  The award ceremony went off without a hitch, though attendance was a little less than hoped.  There were representatives from several guilds present.    Eduardo looked resplendent in his Pelissee. Memories from the ceremony can be seen in the museum.  

• July 13:  General meeting held.  members in attendance:  Veneficus, Sigmar, Shota, Dylann, Johnyblaze, Moleia, Khay, Tyara, Scientific.  For the first order of business, Veneficus proposed a change to the screening process for younger wizards, replacing the previous method of asking questions based off the by-laws and histories.  Instead initiates will be asked questions based on character, ambition, goals, etc.  The next order of business was the Acadamie's stance on vetoed initiates.  The final conclusion was that after being vetoed an applicant may re-apply once again after 2 deochs.  The last order of business was on the upcoming award ceremony.  Maximum attendance is expected.

• June 26: EDUARDO TO BE AWARDED HONORARY GRADUATE!  Details can be found here.

Four new Dean positions have been created. Dean of Admissions, Dean of Instruction, Dean of Students and Dean of Events.  Alumni Seara has re-joined the Acadamie and several new wizards were officially accepted into the Acadamie.  Welcome Ociro, Pyrios, Baltaszar, and Murdo.  And the elemental Chaos event has been updated as well.

Welcome back to a returning Alumnist, Scientific, who is I might add an personal comrade in arms and friend of mine.

• April 6: Faculty Meeting held, meeting minutes e-mailed to all members. All pending advancement recommendations approved. The award of Honorary Graduate was approved to be bestowed upon Seara. After a brief discussion, a mark of exile in abstentia (as he has to all discernable view left the Acadamie) was levied against ChibiGoten for his previous acts of insubordination, and disruptive conduct unbecoming an acadamie member. A discussion regarding Acadamie restructuring was held and tabled pending a special session at which faculty members will present their proposals. JohnyBlaze discussed event proposals and will develop an event proposal to be presented to the Regent for review and presented at a General Meeting. Shota discussed a trend of developing darkness and a possible threat toTemuair theorizing the possible return of Lord Tenes of the Anaman Pact. Regent Nagisa reiterated Logan's ancient geas and pointed out its correlation with any event that would threaten Temuair as a whole and the Acadamie's responsibility therein. The Arcanus Adeptus directed that Shota be given time at the next General Meeting to present her findings and voice her concerns.

• February 17: Orientation was a success, congratulations to our new Srad Adept, Froyden Widsith for her admirable performance under some truly grueling examination. I have updated the registry and scrolls of honor with the updates from the recent Faculty and General Assembly meetings. I am most pleased to announce that as of the last faculty meeting, as ratified at the General Assembly, Dylann will soon be sub-pathing to monk and becoming our first Captain of the Bloodguard. Some will note that the meeting minutes have not been posted, this is due to some internal issues that need to be resolved.

• February 8: I, Veneficus Adeptus have resumed my former position as Arcanus Adeptus. Splack will be revert tot he Eldritch College as an Adept with full honors of a retiring Arcanus Adeptus, i.e. the privilege of utilizing the surname of "Adeptus" in perpetuity. He has also been inducted into the order of the Martyr Emeritus for his efforts as Arcanus Adeptus and for keeping us going during my time in Kadath. General Meeting held, transcripts have been mailed to all Acadamie members. Following the general assembly there was some slight unpleasantry from one of our members. A disciplinary council hearing will be scheduled to decide what course of action will be taken.

• February 2: The faculty meeting today was cancelled due to lack of attendance, Dean Sigmar was the only other faculty member to make an appearance, and he was early as is his habit. I salute him. Cuillen also came by, thanks to her as well. Sad, we had some interesting items on the Agenda and some important developments to discuss amongst the faculty, I hope we shall have better attendance at the General Assembly next double moon +HINT+. This Deoch I will be a bit relaxed on the attendance requirements stated in the by-laws since I have been so disorganized until now, but beginning next Deoch ((March)) attendance requirements will be enforced. Faculty that is found negligent will have their position rescinded and revert to general membership, general members who routinely fail to appear at required meetings will be reviewed for expulsion from the Acadamie.If you truly care about the Acadamie and enjoy being a member, please participate, get involved and help me make it fun and advantageous for you all.

• January 27: Next Deoch's Calendar published. Congratulations to Kamiomi for her Folk Art recognition.

• January 26: I have exiled two "ghost members" in the recent past, one was Searra (not Seara who is the real one) and Micki.

  Veneficus Adeptus, Regent, Acadamie Arcanus

• December 8, 2001: Here's the preliminary planning for Scorched Earth Gambit.   I had planned on conducting it this Deoch ((but with the holidays)) I don't see that happening.  We will DEFINITELY hold it next Deoch.  As discussed at the last general assembly, 'twill be an event open to all wizards of Temuair, of course I will be adding into the rules that the use of any skills or secrets not gleaned from the wizard's path will result in disqualification.  At present I will leave the prizes as they are presently listed, if anyone has something they feel more suitable please pidgeon me.  I would greatly like the following positions filled:  
  
  Rescue Party Dispatch:  (preferably by the Chaplain or Deacon)
  Event Cashier:
  Event Registrar:  (to take names of attendees in advance)
  Overall Event Organizer:  That'd be me
  Rescue party members:  we need warriors, monks with whitebat or rogues. The
                         rescue parties will be necessary in the case of a
                         participant skulling and no reds are available
                         ((so the participant can log and the rescue party
                         can get to them)) or in the event of a death to
                         aid in retrieving a death pile.  
  
  If ye be unfamiliar with the Scorched Earth Gambit, 'tis one of our most enjoyable and fascinating events, see the information on the ledgers from the last scorched earth ((go to the website into the site map, there's a link there)).

• October 7, 2001: General Meeting was held, see Meeting Minutes for details. Congratulations to Khay on his commencement to the rank of Eldritch Graduate and Kamiomi for her commencement to the rank of Eldritch Adept. A hearty congratulations also go out to Ragadast on his appointment as Acadamie Chaplain.

• September 21, 2001: Congratulations to Kamiomi for her recognition as Folk Artist and Regent Veneficus for Village Artist.

• September 18, 2001: Please see a new work from Eldritch Scholar Kay in the library entitled "Tenants of Oran" for which he received mundane recognition as a Village Philosopher.

• September 15, 2001: Faculty Meeting held, follow the above link "meeting minutes" for a summary. Tatyanna confirmed as new Dean of Sal.

• February 6, 2001: All Hail the new appointee to the position of Regent, Thorsson. Please aid him in any way possible and all members are reminded that the Regent carries my full authority in my absence.

• January 4, 2001: STAFF REORGANIZATION:
  Consolidation of the following Staff Offices: APPROVED- Sgt at Arms duties consolidated under the Regent APPROVED- Librarian duties would be assumed by the Scribe
  Abolishment of the following faculty positions: APPROVED- Professor of Research STRUCK DOWN- Assistant deans
  PROCEDURAL REFORMS:
  TABLED-General meetings would no longer be scheduled on a regular basis but would be held "as needed" APPROVED-Any faculty member would be empowered not only to address disciplinary issues as they feel necessary. APPROVED-Any faculty member would be empowered to call for a disciplinary council to be held. APPROVED-Enactment of more frequent social occasions and motley functions such as: "aisling Auctions", "wizzy Sumo", "Throw Vene in the Pit". APPROVED-Each Dean shall be responsible for the conduct of one lore class per Deoch, not necessarily as instructor, but as coordinator. APPROVED-Resurrection of the neglected "Scorched Earth Gambit" and "Luathas Challenge".
  CONCERNS RAISED:
  -unavailability of faculty, particularly Deans, many prospective applicants are experiencing difficulty contacting the deans in order to be properly screened for admittance. -Lack of strong leadership, Arcanus Adeptus assumes a large portion of responsibility for this as many compromises have been made by him in the past and a lack of enforcement of the by-laws by Arcanus Adeptus leading to present difficulties of nonattendance and a departure from the vision and focus of the Acadamie.

• December 8: Per the decision several moons ago, any member who switches from the wizards path must retire from the Acadamie, Pill did not do so.  He asked to remain for a time to find a new motley to join, I think two double moons is more than enough.  Therefore upon my authority as Arcanus Adeptus I performed an exile.  Since Pill did not abide by the Acadamie's decision honorably and in my opinion acted unethically by trying to extend his stay by stalling, he shall be entered unto the scrolls of shame instead of the alumni rolls.   I did not undertake this action lightly, I asked the Sergeant At Arms to speak with Pill regarding this matter some time ago, yet it seems to no avail.  

• November 28: The voting deadline has passed and all the results have been tallied.  The issue was shall members who began path switching before the official announcement of the Acadamie policy was issued. of the votes received The results are as follows:
  
    Stay IN Motley                Retire Honorably         Abstain from voting
            31%                                   54%                        15%  
  
  As all can see it was somewhat of a close vote but the general membership has spoken, those members who have path switched will be honorably retired from the Acadamie to the Alumni rolls.  It should be noted that this is NOT exile.  Additionally as per the Acadamie by-laws, Alumni are welcome at meetings and Acadamie functions.  Those individuals who have switched from the path of wizardy need to contact a faculty member who presently holds a council seat to retire from the motley.

• November 20: General Meeting Held, Daistlen appointed as new librarian, path switching debate held in open forum. Current Acadamie policy will continue but votes will be taken as to if we shall allow those who began the process prior to the policies official announcement will be allowed to remain. Voting is open, send all votes to Arcanus Adeptus before next Monday.

• November 14: After consultation with the available faculty, some deep soul searching and examining the process of dual path from reliable sources...It has been determined that "dual path" does indeed very clearly involve abandoning your previous path. ((it purportedly even asks "do you abandon ______")) and after switching paths you are no longer identified on the world list nor in the aisling window as your previous path.  Therefore we have no choice but to determine that a wizard who "dual path's" is no longer a wizard and must be honorably retired from the ranks of the Acadamie if they switch to another path. Likewise if an aisling of another path becomes a wizard, they are in all good sooth a wizard and therefore qualified to be screened for admittance to the Acadamie.  I know this will disappoint some of you and perhaps cause us to lose some valued members...but we must remain true to the charter of the Acadamie which CANNOT be changed. Our focus and vision must remain pure.  Veneficus Adeptus Arcanus Adeptus Acadamie Arcanus

• November 10: Congratulations to Raen for her recognition as an Aisling Philosopher and to Veneficus for his recognition as an Aisling Historian.

• October 5: Preliminary discussion of "dual-path" was held at the recent faculty meeting...at present the Acadamie's stance on this is inconclusive, but from the discussion there will be several dilemma's brought about both by other paths switching to wizard and more importantly Acadamie members switching to paths other than wizardry....at this point all I can do is caution Acadamie members contemplating this to wait for a short while until the faculty can confer in more detail to come to a decision on our policy in this regards.

• September 9: This Deoch's basic wizardry class will be replaced with an Acadamie Orientation Night, the regularly scheduled orientation night has also been rescheduled for 26 September 2000...please see the Calendar for Details.

• September 9: I have a sense of foreboding about the below letter I received from the mundanes.  These new secrets may cause many a hapless wizard to repeat the errors which didst cause the shadow wars and the eventual downfall of the Ancient Acadamie.  Know that at present I am NOT speaking out against the study of this "necromancy" I merely urge caution.  We must speak more of this to discern its true origins and how we wish to proceed in study of this "new" knowledge.

  COPY OF MUNDANE LETTER
  
  Necromancy
  
  A Mundane, who wishes to remain nameless for his own safety, admitted this moon that several long lost Wizard spells were found. The Mundane calls it "necromancy", the ability to use the demonic power of Sgrios to your advantage. It is unsaid what this power can do. But one thing is for sure - this power can be devastating to those it is used against, making it highly secretive as to ensure it does not fall into the wrong hands.
  
  Rumor speculates that this type of sorcery has the power to raise the dead, and control that undead creature to the caster's advantage. However, this is not certain. No one will know what this forgotten power can do until the Mundanes offer this knowledge to Aislings.
  
  The Mundane I spoke with says the power behind this "necromancy" is great, and very hard to control. He himself cannot control it as of yet. By channeling Sgrios' power through himself, he states "it has the ability to drive one mad through the dark visions that flash through your mind."

(1) 6 Personica will also be allowed (lesson learned) (2) it will be open to wizards not of the Acadamie to encourage more participation and increase the fun. (3) there may be a small entrance fee to reimburse the Acadamie for the expenditures in prizes.

This is truly a difficult decision for me but I have been left no choice in this matter. In the future removal of Faculty will be handled per the provisions dictated in the by-laws, general members will be expected to notify their Dean if they will be unable to attend and the Dean may excuse them. I will in the future remove general members for nonattendance at the request of their Dean. These present exiles will take place when the individual is available or will be handled by my contacting the mundanes.
