Greetings Institute,

From the darkened mists of Black, we have finally broken through into White. Though we must die to
achieve this state, know that we will be reborn anew.

The Krymenian Academy will be something of a successor to us. Though it will not be a direct
succession, the spirit of the Institute goes with it. Through the Krymenian Academy, White can turn
to Red.

Fear not this death. Rebirth is here.

I will not tell anyone that they must join this fledgeling House. However, they will need all the
help they can get and I highly recommend it. Half of the founding members have been key members
under me, and they know how to make a good organization. For some, this is not the first time
they've forged one.

We have served Hashan since Nurazar's fall. I have personally served as the Institute's leader since
the 600s at least. Most of this century I have been devoted to my role here. Since I was made the
Philosopher, I've never been anything but proud of all we have done. We have done things no other
mortal has ever done. We have done work for the Gods Themselves! The Night looks fondly on us and
our work.

Urdu beckons. The New Moon is here.

This will be the final post to the Institute boards. Please respect that. Stay with us until the
Academy is ready to open its doors, and walk through into the soft light of Albedo.


Glory to the Court!
Chaire Trisagia!
Chaire Trismegistus!
