Aodh Newsletter

Welcome to the Aodh Newsletter!
This newsletter is a platform for all manner of Aodh news (IC and OOC). It also acts as a timeline of updates from early 2020 onwards. Updates are listed newest to oldest. The newsletter was moved to wikia in October 2020.
Members can also submit their own contributions to be added to the newsletter! These contributions are subject to admin approval, but we encourage members to come up with their own plotting pieces for other members to participate in - and have them promoted in the newsletter.
