Grae Knight

Alive and Kicking!
Greetings Paragonian Knights! It has been about 2 months since I e-mailed our last newsletter and I will try to do better. My aim is to post and e-mail a newsletter every month.
First off, there was a lot of questions about activity declining. I can tell you first hand that this was not isolated to the Knights, activity had been declining across the server. This is not unusual right before a new issue is released, even with us. However, even a decline in activity in the PK is high activity compared to most supergroups and that is a good thing. Changes are in place in the Knights to help keep things going and I think it has already started to work.
New Knight Lords
As announced in the Supergroup meeting last Sunday, I have decided to promote individuals to oversee the day-to-day actions of each of the Knight SGs. Do not worry, your beloved Grae Knight is not going anywhere. I was just getting weighed down by all the groups and some things were getting neglected. Hopefully, these individuals can give each group the time and attention they require.
Knight Lords
Paragonian Knights (main): @yaki-sama (Burning Rain)
Paragonian Knights – 2nd Battalion: @The-Pendragon (Cry-Havok)
Paragonian Knights – Honor Battalion: @Mitch Koval (Tassitas)
Paragonian Knights – The Grae Academy: @Ledgerdemain (Ledgerdemain)
Sisterhood of the Paragonian Knights: @Lady Grae (Gwendolyn Snow)
Paragonian Knights – Elite: @Shad0hawk (Shad0hawk)
Paragonian Knights – Legends: @Grae Knight (Grae Knight)
The Rogue Knights (main): @ladypolgara (Divine Intervention)
The Rogue Knights – Knightmares: @The-Pendragon (Blacke-Rage)
The Rogue Knights – Terror Legion: @yaki-sama (Shosuro Hitsuyaga…or something to that effect)
The Rogue Knights – Vixens: @Lady Grae (Iyrie)
I am sure some of you are asking “How will this change the PK?”. The short answer is it will not. These new Lords will not be making any drastic changes. Some may look to promote a couple new Captains to help fulfill some roles in their groups and some may look to get some base design help, but for the most part it will be business as usual. You will not log in and find the Heart symbol as your new chest emblom and the colors changed to pink and purple. These Knights will continue to uphold the same values we have come to love in the PK. Please congratulate them when you see them in-game.
Website News
The website is progressing nicely. Ann recently made the “Cards” page imbedded so you will find that it loads much faster. Ann has also posted instructions and templates on how to make your own cards if you ever wish to do that. She has also unveiled her new video card and the new cards she has made look amazing! A template for The Grae Academy is in production and Ann should be ready to unveil it soon. Ann is doing an amazing job with the website layout! Also, special thanks to everyone that has help contribute to the role playing sections and the stories area. They are a lot of fun to read and I know many non-knights that visit our site to read the stories and RP.
Forum activity is real good right now. Please continue to encourage everyone in-game to register and check the website. In-game relationships are great but what bonds us closer are these forums. We get to know more about one another through our posts.
New Art!
After a very long wait (nearly a year!) the Paragonian Knights piece by MMOArt.com is complete. You can view the finished product here (http://www.mmoart.com/gallery/pk.php). I think everyone involved is quite happy with how it came out. As soon as I receive the prints I will ship them out to all involved.
Next piece we have in production is The Rogue Knights group piece and watch for a sketch on this soon to be posted on the forums.
After that we are in negotiations with Douglas Shuler to create another PK group piece. So far we have 18 characters but still room for more!
Players’ Choice Awards
It is almost time once again for the CoH Players’ Choice Awards. For those who were not around last year, these are awards with many categories nominated and voted on by the players of CoH. Last year the Paragonian Knights were on the ballot for Favorite Hero Supergroup. This year I would love to see the Paragonian Knights and The Rogue Knights on the ballot! To do this you only need to have a active account. When they post the nominations I will notify you all via the forums. We all know the PK/RK are the best, now it is time to let everyone else know!
Thank you all for continuing to make the PK a wonderful experience!! If you ever need to contact me you can via this e-mail, on our forums or my AIM screen name ‘TheGraeKnight’.
