<I>Novice Maaks stood in the meeting room of his House, where a large number of his Housemates were gathered, seated before him. As the Novice's Quaestor stood, the Novice took a knee before him.<BR><BR>

The Novice's superior, Timeros, raised his hand and conjured a dark mass of vapor, a coherent patch of darkness.<BR><BR>

"As your superior in the Dark Brotherhood, I personally attest to your achievements and am proud to confer on you the rank of Acolyte. With this elevation you have earned the right to step to the next pillar of strength and knowledge within Clan Arcona and the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi." <BR><BR>

The shadow fell from his hand over the Novice shrouding him as the Quaestor spoke again.<BR><BR>

"Light is limited."<BR><BR>

"Darkness is infinite."<BR><BR>

"Rise, Maaks, an Acolyte of Clan Arcona."<BR><BR>

The applause filled the chamber as the newly promoted Acolyte stood and chanted: "ARCONA INVICTA!"<BR><BR></I>

I would hereby like to request a promotion for Novice Maaks, who has currently fulfilled all requirements for promotion under the Dark Jedi Brotherhood's promotion guidelines, as follows:

In darkness, <BR><BR>
