Alacrity of the Commander
Overview
The Grand Master has commissioned the creation of handbooks to accompany every position within the Dark Brotherhood. These handbooks detail the tasks associated with those positions, the tools for the trade, and other essential pieces of information. These handbooks, however, often overlap on what are essentially general leadership duties within the Brotherhood. The Alacrity of the Commander was created to easily cover the overlapping areas without the undue burden of having each area covered within each handbook.
The Alacrity of the Commander is a supplement to these handbooks; a series of Addenda. These addenda will outline some of the most basic command duties which are shared by all leaders within the Brotherhood. There are over 40 addenda slated for production, currently. The immense task of writing each of these addenda has been given to a group of the Grand Master's assistants. Further, the Grand Master and a group of Elders critique each piece before it is posted.
