Relatively few changes in this our fourth issue with Recklosh (Hatred) still situated atop the Ankhet board for the third week in a row. Following close behind is Djeret Netjer (Hem-Netjer), who with this mention extends his Ankhet Archive appearance to five. Holding the third position, FranChom (N: Lunchlandia) continues his reign as wielder of the mighty Cureall. It has come to be expected that neminem (Lunchlandia) is Ankhet of Anubis for yet another Archive record-setting week. Will anyone ever supplant him? Rounding out the top five we have Blue Agave (N: Monolith) with his second consecutive week as the Ankhet of Ahmose. Noticeably missing from the list are Major Tom and PorQ Cheops, both of whom converted to Sekhmet via Metasis Charm.

Dominions
Monolith (740, Blue Agave) +5
Lunchlandia (535, FranChom) +1
Pennant (335, saucybandit)
Shadows (246, Baltar)
Hatred (235,  Jim) +51
Luz (127, Nefertiti)
Light (101, Aethlas)
Lite (92, Messeret)
Hem-Netjer (52, Djeret Netjer) +3
Red Lantern Core (15, Kazkek)

Remember this?

“[Hatred] will reclaim the #1 spot in time, and with it we will bring anarchy, chaos and destruction.” —Spam Witch, Founder of the dominion Hatred

It would appear these words resonated well with dominion members, at least the first bit. Despite the fact that Spam Witch has not logged in nearly four months, Hatred continues to carry her legacy closer to realization with each passing week, annexing in the process Kitsune and all 44 of its levels. This major power move coupled with the dominion's reputation for rapid development inclines us to believe that a change in rank is imminent for Hatred and by direct consequence, the oldest dominion, Shadows. That being said, even at the current growth rate, Hatred has a long way before it can even dream of surpassing true heavyweights the likes of Monolith, now with a record 740 levels, or Lunchlandia, which holds a healthy 535 levels. Pennant, however, may not be so lucky if it does not start improving favour production. But that is something only time can tell.

Beast Slayer
Major Tom (626, Monolith)
PorQ Cheops (451, Lunchlandia)
Blue Agave (231, N: Monolith)

There is absolutely nothing to report here with everything remaining exactly the same as last week.

There is room for one more, says the wizened Herald. And with that Baltar (N: Shadows) takes his chair among the wisest of Ankhet’s disciples. The other nine were all present last issue.

Three new speed records were set this week, one of which is good for the fastest time ever in the history of camel racing. In quite spectacular fashion Nightvol, who did not make the Top Ten the race prior, came away with the record-breaking victory. Ivan the Cat had an excellent run on the same day, earning himself a position in the Top Five Fastest of All-time. Monolith swept the competition in both contests this week as pakhet, with a win on 14 Mesore, secured the 8th spot on our list of Speed Demons. Congratulations to all the winners! Let’s see how many records get broken next week.
