Hi folks. I have two updates to share regarding our staff. They're unrelated except in timing, but they're both significant.

First, please join me in thanking Hadrak for her years of service as Assistant Producer. She has contributed so much to the game's lore and atmosphere, and she's long been a personal friend to many of us on the team. She has now left that role, but I am extremely grateful to her. We wish her all the best in her future pursuits.

In other news, Matt has made his selection for a permanent producer. We will announce details in a week or two -- we're going to take our time getting comfortable as a new team and getting this person up-to-date on what we're doing in Aetolia. Having read over many of the applications and spoken to a few of the applicants, I can tell you that we drew from a very strong pool of talent. The MUD community may be small, but we're fortunate to have a wealth of qualified, intelligent people. Please keep directing questions and issues to me, as I will continue in the Producer role (still part-time) through May.

Penned by my hand on Tisday, the 6th of Chakros, in the year 465 MA.
