To Whom It May Concern: Tra’an Reith has shown himself more than capable to join the ranks of the Equites. I would, in fact, label this elevation overdue. Tra’an had been the Aedile of House Acclivis Draco for some time, and already established his merit as a leader and valued member of the Clan. Dealing with low membership activity, and low numbers didn’t slow Tra’an down at all. In Fact, it only encouraged him to work harder. In the waning days of Timbals reign, Tra’an really stepped up to the plate and made it known how the House was going to be run. Tra’ans vigor is what sets him apart from the crowd, in my mind. I feel that this strapping young leader brings not only the vigor, but the pure intensity that this Clan needs within its leadership. Tra’an has maintained contact with his house, and lead them towards a relatively good show in RoaR! Now, as the QUA of HAD, I expect to see only greater work from Tra’an. He is a consistent reporter, is very good about getting things done when you ask him too, and quick about it. Tra’an has not only done the grunt work to become an equite, but I firmly believe that he has developed the work ethic to make a lasting impact on those around him. Outside of his house projects, Tra’an is a very involved member within the clan. He is sure to participate in every event available for him, and more importantly, he is sure to encourage those around him to participate as well. Congratulations, Tra’an. I look forward to seeing you go on to do great things. -Thran Occasus Greetings, Elders of the Clan and Brotherhood; I come to you today seeking the recognition of achievement in rank of one that has well deserved the honor. I of course am referring to Tra’an Reith, current Quaestor of Acclivis Draco. Since his last elevation to Knight, Tra’an has successfully executed the positions of Roll Master and Aedile, with distinction. As Roll Master, he was always on point with contacting our new members, answering any questions with commendable speed and accuracy. Moving up to Aedile was an excellent move for House Acclivis Draco, since at the time I was in the position of Quaestor. In the role of Aedile, Tra’an made it a point to actively participate in as many events as he could contribute to, earning himself a Dark Cross, several Legions of the Scholar awards, and various Crescents. He was always available on IRC to our members, actively contributing to their development in character as well as being the publicly available “face” of the House Summit. The Knight has also assisted in quite a few House projects, ranging from the Tribes of Antenora project, to the House Military wiki articles, to assistance with the Facilities information. He also has been of assistance with various projects outside of the Clan, including earning a Dark Cross for helping with the Character Sheets Beta Tests. Most impressively, he also earned a Seal of Loyalty, marking him as an elite rising star in the Clans. For all this, I feel that Knight Tra’an Reith has more than earned his promotion, and am honored to have some say in it. To Tra’an, congratulations, it is well earned! =D
KE Timbal Palpatine (Krath)/EP/Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae "Tra'an embodies everything that a member of Acclivis Draco. He is often on IRC for at least an hour a day, is an extremely approachable member, and never fails to assist a member when they ask for help. He has been working on his own little company for Acclivis Draco, designed to produce mercenaries for our use. He has also worked in conjunction with QUA Timbal and myself to plan activities for the House and discuss how to reward various members where he always produces sensible ideas as well as giving me some superb advice when I was starting out as the newest member of the House summit. Besides being a fantastic AED, Tra'an has also been a superb Roll Master, releasing timely reports and guiding the younger members in the direction that THEY want to take. In the recent clan feud, Tra'an was on top of the Run-on side of things for HAD, controlling the actions of the Order of the Dragon amongst other things. Tra'an is the epitome of activity and behaviour that we want desire in HAD and expect in an Equite which is why I'm delighted have the opportunity to recommend Tra'an Reith for promotion. Congratulations!"

K?

Recommendation for promotion of Tra’an Reith to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight

Throughout his short, but successful Dark Brotherhood career, Tra’an Reith has shown me, both as his ProConsul and his Master, that he is the kind of member that Clans dream of. He came into Scholae with unwavering loyalty, without even knowing fact #1 about anyone or the direction in which the Clan was headed. He simply jumped feet first into gaining power and prestige for himself, his House, and his Clan. For that alone, Tra’an is to be commended.

He has successfully completed all the requirements for Dark Jedi Knight as laid down before him by myself. He has exhibited the necessary skill set that the Clan has put forth as the needed tasks and skills required of all Knights of Scholae. He has shown his strengths in Run-Ons, displayed his strengths in leadership and administration, and even worked on his weaknesses in the ACC. His motivation and drive are second to none and Tra’an reminds me of a young me back in the days.

To say Tra’an is my proudest accomplishment is an understatement. I have graduated several Apprentices to Knight status, yet only a few show the staying power of Hunter Reith. Recently, he was tabbed to assist me with the administration of the Master-Student Program of Scholae, something he quickly outgrew to become the Rollmaster of House Acclivis Draco. His tenacity and attention to detail will serve him well in his first House Summit position

Tra’an, while contributing to his overall success, had also been a source of grounding and counsel for me. He gives me a fresh voice and opinion on a variety of issues, leading to me appointing him to oversee the research of the Scholae artifacts, no small task for a shoot first Obelisk. Tra’an took the task in stride, even making the tough decisions to tell some members who ranked higher than him that their research was insufficient. The team is still buried in research, with most of the heavy thinking and research being tasked to Tra’an junior comrade, Korroth, after Tra’an realized that his depth of research had gone above and beyond what was asked of him.

By exhibiting all the attributed and characteristics of a Knight of Scholae, it is my honor to release Tra’an from his training obligation and proclaim him a Dark Knight of Palatinae.

Congratulations my Apprentice. The time has come to show your mettle on your own.

~Exarch Lucien Kaeth ProConsul of Scholae Palatinae Master to Tra’an Reith

I still have the email entitled "Dark Brotherhood Dossier Activated! Welcome, Tra'an Reith!" in my inbox. It's a beautiful sight, really. Time just flies...

Tra'an Reith joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood during my ninth month as Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco, and he has been one of the steadiest members that I have ever known. His determination to succeed, his desire to achieve, and his laidback attitude have allowed him to reach the threshold of Dark Jedi Knight. In the past, some of his peers have simply been booted over the edge and into the land of Knighthood after being outstandingly active for a relatively short period of time. With Tra'an, the Clan Summit and I decided to take a different approach: he must surpass himself.

This young Jedi Hunter had been constantly growing and pushing both our expectations and his own contributions to the House and Clan forward and up. Several times, I have approached his Master, Proconsul Lucien Kaeth, about promoting Tra'an, but we decided to wait, which was a test for his patience and our patience. Now, Tra'an has shown that he embodies everything that Clan Scholae Palatinae "Core Values" hope to show: "Integrity First, Service Before Self, Excellence in All We Do."

His leadership in the "Clan Artifacts" project has been extraordinary, and I know that the final product will be absolutely phenomenal. His participation in nearly every large event has been exemplary, from the Eighth Great Jedi War to the Independence Games 2008. If every member tried as hard as he, Acclivis Draco, and Scholae Palatinae as a whole, would be completely unstoppable in absolutely everything.

After nine months as a member of the Brotherhood, Tra'an is ready to strut across and don the robes of a Knight. As he steps into his new role as Rollmaster, I hope to show him the reins of the House in order to introduce him to the aspect of the Brotherhood that few Knights have seen and embraced. As I have said numerous times before, Tra'an has the ability and dedication that will allow him to become one of the greatest members that this Clan has ever seen.

Rise and start welcoming new members to the House, Knight.
