It's been awhile since I've actually been a part of an online forum community, so I'll appreciate anyone bearing with me while I adjust.

I'm Jebei Dotharl and if that name is familiar, it's likely because you've encountered me at Grindstone or in Pearl Lane or you happen to know me through interactions with our Free Company, the Eldritch Collective.

I'm going to use this blog to regularly highlight things we are doing or, in this case especially, changes that we've made. The last few weeks have kind of been a whirlwind.

Some of you probably know <EC-RP>. It's been around for a long time and plenty of people have strong opinions about us. Recently, there has been a shake-up in terms of leadership -- Nothing negative, nothing bad; an amicable parting-of-ways. In the course of this, it was decided that EC-RP needed a new direction. One that would take it back to its roots.

Those roots being grounded, organic roleplay focused on character development and community interaction.

Sa'ran Dotharl and I have been left in charge of the Collective to pursue these adjustments. While Leith and Lior Emrys remain available to provide advice and council, Sa'ran and I are officially leading this FC into the future.

We look forward to building something great and we hope that the community will help us do it.

Already, over the course of our first two weeks of leadership, we have made adjustments to ranks and structure. We've established new rules to help us flourish. And we plan to hold several public events very soon.

It's always been a personal goal of mine to play villainous foil to players with more of a good-aligned focus. And it's our "collective" goal to create those opportunities naturally and organically through our interactions with the larger community.

I also want to say that I am always available for questions either here or through Discord @47#3049.

Thank you so much for reading and I look forward to telling stories with all of you in the near future!
