Update: Sylum Wiki
Anyone seen my red stapler?
Update: Sylum Wiki
A while back we mentioned that the wiki went defunct. It just curled up and died. So we brainstormed to figure out our best options.
In the end we decided to rebuild the wiki on a more stable platform in another section of the website. This way we can edit the Clans, update/edit bios, and build a working wiki – on the sidelines without disturbing the dead thing in the corner.
Goal is to have it up and working when we release 10th Anniversary of Clan War. As the bios will be in relation to the changes made in the Arcs.
At the moment the following Clans have been edited, updated and uploaded to the new wiki: Sylum, Camelot, Vampire Council, Tallikut and Knight.
Sylum Inspiration: Velociraptor
Sylum Inspiration: Velociraptor
You make ask how are they inspiring? They inspire fear and the need to run fast and far!
At some point in the Sylum Universe. There will be Velociraptors.
Scary thought.
Good thing Vampires can run fast.

Coffee House Friday
It’s been a long two weeks.
I seriously need some coffee.
Where do you get your favorite coffee? Local shop? Starbucks? Your own?
Or do coffee!? I drink Tea.
Up-date: Clan War 10th Anniversary
10th Anniversary Up-date
As you know we’ve been working on this for a while, and believe me it will be worth the wait!!
There has been some RL situations that have caused us to be behind schedule – nothing we can do about it, but go with the flow.
So yes, this year you will get the 10th Anniversary Edition.
The goal is still set, but please realize that we do have lives outside of Sylum and sometimes they suck and we can’t put 100% of time into where we want to.
In the meantime.
We’re still taking questions! We’ve had some good questions, ideas, and comments. Keep sending them.
*Also if you can’t see the Contact Form – just reply to the post with your questions.

Sylum Inspiration: St George (Raphael)
St. George painted by Raphael located at the Louvre in Paris.
In Sylum Neal Caffrey is Raphael. So the irony in the stories is that Neal stole his own painting.
St. George is the Patron Saint of England. He’s mostly depicted as an English Knight taking on a dragon (Draco the Dragon doesn’t find the painting very pleasing).
Irony – St. George is Roman.
Nico finds this hilarious and calls every St. George’s Day to remind Arthur that England’s Patron Saint is in fact Roman.
There are actually two paintings.
St. George and the Dragon by Raphael located at the National Art Gallery in Washington DC.
Coffee House Friday
Marco Polo.
New series on Netflix that well actually is pretty good. It’s been a looong time since I’ve found a show I really like. It helps that Pierfrancesco Favino (our favorite Italian) is in it.
What new show is your favorite? Or sticking to your old classics?

Each Contact Form as space for Three Questions! You can ask one or send in multiple forms for more questions. Be creative, think about the past 10 years, what you’ve read, seen posts/comments about, the characters & clans…
We’ll be collecting questions until February 5th!!
Sylum Inspiration: Dachshunds
Sylum Inspiration: Dachshunds (Merry & Pippin)
You’re introduced to Merry & Pippin in Clan War (you’ll see more of them in the 10th Anniversary Edition).
The reason of showcasing Dachshunds is mainly because I had two of my own.
They are adorable, smart, stubborn, and only like other dachshunds and dachshund owners aka slaves.
