Primary reason

Kyber has been a fantastic journeyman in Taldryan, and the steps he has taken to Knighthood should be emulated and admired by new and old members a like. He has co-organized three competitions (Zoron's Bogan, Moon of Terror!), he has been active in the Shadow Academy (including earning two Dark Mavens and a boat load of other courses - making him a Junior in the Society), he competes in competitions (and wins, having earned a Crescent with Sapphire Star and Emerald Star), he writes fiction, he competes in the ACC! He's a well rounded member - and I know he will continue to be one in the future! Congratulations on your promotion!

Additional reasons

Kyber has been an active member of Taldryan even if he’s a silent one. Those are the ones that get you, the silent types. Jokes aside, Kyber organized a competition like none that I had seen before, Bogan, Moon of Terror. He also be an active scholar in the Shadow Academy earning himself 2 Dark Maven Degrees, completing 23 courses and SA rank IV. He is a dominator in fiction, gaming competitions and in the ACC. All that there is left to say is that I’m glad he’s one of ours. Congratulations, and enjoy your promotion!

Kyber has been a silent force amongst Taldryan's journeymen ever since he joined our ranks. It's never easy for a new member to join right in the midst of a Great Jedi War... let alone the titanic struggle that was the DarkCrusades-FadingLight-GreatJediWar. But it didn't phase Kyber one bit, and he joined in with aplomb and kept plugging away as the months ticked by.

Kyber has also been a consistent voice of feedback from the journeymen, which is a greatly valued trait by the Clan leadership, especially from a newly joined member. Whereas normally we get a "I like everything" or a "I don't like this" from members, Kyber was always willing to give us examples of what he did or didn't like, and exactly why he did or didn't like them. This type of insight is rare, as is the attitude behind it that lets him speak so frankly.

It is those qualities more than anything that make me thankful for the fact that Kyber has joined our ranks, and those same qualities make me even more proud to be able to confirm the rank that he so rightly deserves.

Kyber, today you become a Knight of Taldryan. Congratulations, and keep up the great work!

Kyber is one of those members every leader hopes to have in their group. That is someone that maintains an active presence. Since January he has managed to submit to multiple competitions every month. He even co-organized a fun Taldryan house feud which was made up of 3 sub-competitions.

Completing the required requisites gives him the right to become a Dark Jedi Knight, but for his level of activity and attitude towards Taldryan gives him the right to be a Knight of Taldryan.

Kyber has been a great apprentice - he doesn't need hand-holding, has some good ideas and plans, and also keeps working at a pace that keeps him from burning out while still advancing his way through our ranks. He jumped into planning a Clan-wide event when I approached him with the task, working collaboratively with me to create a fun Moon of Terror event. Further to that, even though he has completed the requirements for DJK and has no obligation to create further competitions, he has recently emailed me a detailed list of a handful of new ideas for some standalone competitions that show his interest in continuing to grow/develop in the Clan and Brotherhood. This, more than anything else, shows to me how deserving he is of this promotion. I am extremely happy to submit this recommendation for Kyber's elevation to Dark Jedi Knight!
