After being knighted in January last year, Zednich has slowly kept himself active with a mix of mobile competitions, writing and gaming. He has won himself 216 Clusters of Earth, 46 of Fire, and 11 of Ice. He has earnt 5 Pendants of Blood along the way. He has won Crescents with a Diamond, Topaz, Emerald, 2 Amethyst and 3 Sapphire Stars. He has won 6 Seals of the Crusader for participation in the Dark Crusade and the Fading Light ACC Tournament and Runons. For merit awards, he has received two Dark Crosses attesting to his activity. This effort, conducted across 26 competitions, and a further 22 competitions that he has co-organized, attest to Zednich’s activity across a range of fields.

This is only complimented by his hard work at the Star Wars Celebration convention earlier this year, where Zednich sacrificed his weekend to ensure that the Brotherhood was kept well informed of all the happenings and goings on. Having spoken with Pravus and Valhavoc, I have learnt that Zednich took 285 photos, filmed 7 videos and shared 357 messages, photos and videos over Telegram to keep the Brotherhood informed during the weekend of the Celebration. He also advertised extensively for the club, wearing a shirt and approaching total strangers to hand out recruitment cards. That takes some balls, to approach random strangers and advertise your geeky club to other random, awkward and shy individuals, but he committed the entire weekend between updating the Brotherhood, accosting random strangers and standing there, twiddling his thumbs while waiting for his phone to charge instead of just showing up and having a great time.

His efforts since becoming a Knight have made it clear to me that he has what it takes to succeed as an Equite, and today I wish to elevate him to Equite status. Congratulations, Zednich, and thank you for your hard work during the convention!

Zednich only recently joined Arcona and took up the mantle of Battleteam Leader for us so I can’t speak for what he’s done for us at this point in time. However, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Zed when he took over the Professorship of the Combat Studies department from me. He seamlessly assumed duties for grading and maintaining five high traffic courses while taking the reigns of another three new courses at various stages of development. In the three months since he’s taken over he’s already graded fifty three course submissions.

Zed has already shown himself to be hard-working, professional and focused on the betterment of the Dark Brotherhood as a whole. When his thorough and well thought out application for Battleteam Leader crossed my desk, hiring him was a no brainer. Similarly I believe his elevation from Knight to Equite is also an easy decision and I proudly lend my voice in support of his promotion.

I look forward to working with you in Galeres and have no doubt you will continue to impress. Welcome to the Equites Zed!
