To Whom It May Concern:

In the short time that I have been given to associate myself with Reiden Karr, I have learned many things about him. Reiden is as tenacious as I am, which is both reassuring and unnerving. While there are many comparisons that I can draw between us, we have our share of differences. However different we may be, I can say without any prejudice that Reiden has shown that he is capable of completing the necessary requirements for Dark Jedi Knight. Not only is he capable of it, Reiden has proven it through execution of the tasks set before him.

Reiden has become a part of House Dorimad Sol, and is sure to give his opinion on matters regardless of how people will respond to them. His individuality contributes to his dynamic existence as a member. When presented with a challenge, Reiden meets it head on, as he is best equipped to do. For example, when challenged to meet his quota of Clusters of Fire, Reiden began gaming, in spite of his dislike for doing so. Not only do I empathize with this sentiment, I commend Reiden for his ability to go beyond his own personal likes and dislikes to achieve a goal.

Above this commitment to achievement, Reiden has shown that he proficient in the skills that comprise a journeyman’s scripted talents and prepared to make the difficult transition to Equite. I believe that with the continued guidance of his master, Angelo Dante, Reiden has the potential to develop into a constructive seasoned member of the clan. Reiden’s quest to DJK has been marred with hardship, as is the idea of such an adventure. Reiden has met these challenges and shown that he is ready to make the next great leap towards achieving the ultimate goals of the club.

I would like to reiterate, if I may, the achievements Reiden has accomplished in the last 8 or 9 weeks.

-A horde of Crescents, ranging from Quartz to Sapphire. -Merit award for distinguished service -Two Dark Mavens. -Over 20 SA courses. -Managing a Clan wide competition -Completed Wiki Article -Continued engagement in Clan activities.

Congratulations Reiden!

Thran Occasus, QUA of HDS.

I submit this recommendation for Reiden as both his Aedile and his master for elevation to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.  This youngling has come far during his months in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and Clan Scholae Palatinae, and I am sure he will continue to do an excellent job in the coming times.  

This member has completed the following tasks:
1.  Time in Rank - 6+ weeks (8 total)
2.  Earned a Dark Cross
3.  Earned 12 Crescents of varying levels
4.  Participated in 15+ competitions including the CSP/CP/Arcona Feud
5.  Passed 24 Shadow Academy courses including his 2 leadership exams
6.  Created and ran a fiction based competition for the entire clan.
7.  Took over the production of the Royal Gazette and is doing an excellent job with it.  Reiden was responsible for compiling the articles, publishing the newletter, writing articles, as well as many other tasks.  
8.  Won 70 CF's in Multi-Player Gaming.
9.  Earned 2 Dark Maven Degrees (DMH & DMP)
10. Completed his wiki article.

In addition, Reiden has a been a fixture on IRC since he has joined.  Once a very quiet fellow, he has begun to open up more and take an active role in both the clan and house channels.  His assumption of leadership of Banshee Brigade is also an excellent sign that he will continue to grow and mature as both a member and a leader within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
