It's hard to keep track of membership sheets with the conversation going on in between. Please keep it to in-character posts. Thanks!)) //Courtesy of "guildmaster"

Report to the Conclave of Sshamath
//***************************************//

To the Conclave of Sshamath, Great Mages who through their wisdom and magical prowess
serve to the betterment of Sshamath and the Drow within.

The School of Ancient Arcana, as founded under the auspicious of the Conclave and has with the Academy of Mages is growing, it has attracted a large number of new initiates curious of the artifacts of long lost Imiskar, Netheril and Ilefarn, who seek to not just learn of matters Arcane and to gain competence with the Art but also to understand the Art as it was practiced thousands of years ago by the great surface empires.

So far our accomplishments and our contributions to Sshamath have been of no small significance, first and foremost is the unexpected skirmish between an ad hoc assortment of Sshamath forces from a combination of mercenary, House militia and School forces in which I had with my apprentices took part in, while this was disruptive to our work in the area studying the fluctuating radiation levels and in exploration of possible overlooked tunnels it nonetheless earned my Schools more senior students who took part significant combat experience against hostile surface raiders.

For now no Artifacts of the above aforementioned magical empires have been discovered, this is expected as so far our area of interest is not expected to hold anything but training and arcane education for the students and staff of the School. However once the our best students are on par to task an expedition to some possible sights will be undertaken as soon as possible, there are numerous overlooked areas to consider and explore, and explore them we must to further our understanding of the Weave.

In this letter I wish to make it plain my personal wish to see the School of Ancient Arcana raised in status to sit upon the Council of Mages and take my place in the Conclave, however in the frank understanding of the responsibilities incurred I differ in my intentions then the all the other minor Schools who seek power without wisdom. A School who sits as a member of the Conclave not only rules in Sshamath's interests but of the Drow who live in Sshamath. As such I know that my School cannot at this time fulfill the obligations and responsibilities that a full member of the Conclave must be able to meet and as such must decline at this time to be considered for promotion to such an honored and respected status until the School of Ancient Arcana is sufficiently powerful and resourceful enough to take more then a passing position to better serve the interests of Sshamath.

Archmage Raenir Salazar of the School of Ancient Arcana.
