When it comes to promoting Brotherhood members to Dark Jedi Knighthood, it is easy to look at their ID lines to see what they’ve been rewarded for. It is less easy to measure the actual scope of their influence to the members that surround them. Not so for Dyrra Skye. At a time when Clan Naga Sadow was arguably at its lowest point, having experienced a mass exodus of productive and influential members, Dyrra came along and spurred those of us who remained to a greater level of activity and enjoyment. Her energy is infectious, and her attitude is well-received by both those whom she follows and who follow her. When I had taken on the offices of Aedile and Quaestor, she remained my most steadfast member, eagerly tackling the role of Battleteam Leader, showing the ropes to those new members of the Clan with grace and aplomb. It can be said that by being in her presence, I had been quickened, as had many other veterans in the Clan, having been reminded that leadership by example is an easy tenant to follow when one feels a responsibility to those who look to you for guidance. Further, as eager as she is to lead, she is just as ready to learn, a rare and valued commodity in any member of any rank or station. I have been given many opportunities to lend my name to lists of recommendations, but I’ve never been so glad as to put my stamp on this recommendation for elevation to Dark Jedi Knight to Dyrra Skye. She is a valued friend, a trusted confidant, and worthy member whose promotion would surely reflect both recognition of her individual achievements and our appreciation for all of the time and effort she has lent to Clan Naga Sadow. Rise, Dyrra Skye, and take your place amongst those who wield the ‘saber in Sadow’s name. Congratulations! ~ DCM Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow

I must say, this promotion is long overdue for Dyrra Skye. Since her last promotion, she has spent over 4 months as a Jedi Hunter, earned several merit awards, as well as a ton of crescents from the House Feud. Dyrra has been a part of her house leadership as well, first taking part as being a Battleteam Leader to the Jade Serpents, and now recently Dyrra became the Aedile of Ludo Kressh working closely with Malisane as well as completing two leadership exams, conflict mediation and leadership studies. As a major achievement during her time as a Jedi Hunter, she was able to defeat Tsainetomo in the ACC as well as competing in 5 other ACC matches. Dyrra has earned 2 degrees as well, and creating her own wiki article. Dyrra has more than earned the right to become a Dark Jedi Knight. Congrats Dyrra, you've earned it girl. thumbs up ~ HMR AED Fremoc Pepoi

Jedi Hunter Dyrra Skye is an impressive and hard working member of this House and Clan, working hard in competitions especially the recent House Feud and other events, is a regular participant in the ACC going up against some of the best the Clan and DB has to offer, and performing extremely well. She has recently become Aedile of Ludo Kressh where she's doing well writing material for the new Clan Website about the House, sending out regular welcome emails and promotion guidelines to new members and designing competitions for the members. She also recently received an impressive Grand Cross of the Dark Side for her efforts, a rarity for someone of her rank, and has completed her promotion task for the Consul required for promotion. I believe Dyrra has a great career ahead of her in the Clan and the Brotherhood, and is someone I look forward to working with for a long time, and I am happy to add my name for her promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations Knight! ~ HLK QUA Malisane Sadow

Adding to what's been said above isn't an easy concept. Aedile Dyrra has been a stalwart member of this clan and of Ludo Kressh for a long while. In the four months since her last promotion, she has completed a wide variety of summit and house tasks. Just recently she was named HLK Aedile, a decision Manji and I haven't regretted since we made it. It's one thing to be "active" by submitting to the mindless rabble of competitions the DB is so well known for, graffiti the AED or make a new logo for your house. No, Dyrra takes everything she does and takes it to the next left, making everything she does a joy to watch from a PCON's eyes. I'm proud to recommend this promotion for Dyrra, and know she has many more tricks up her sleeve. Congratulations on your saber, Knight! ~ CNS PCON Taigikori Aybara Dupar

Dyrra has been one of those members who've taken to the DB like a duck to the proverbial water. She stepped off the shuttle just as we were getting into the start of the last Great Jedi War, a pretty turbulent time, and despite the chaotic nature of things she immediately got stuck in, showing great dedication in her desire to participate and participate well. Her name popped up on quite a few of the leaderboards for GJW events; she'd only been here a few weeks and she was beating members older and more experienced than her (myself included!) This promotion to DJK has been quite a long time coming, but that's partially self-imposed; as Dyrra's master, I've seen first-hand her determination to complete all of her trials in order to truly earn the promotion. We could probably have promoted her sooner for both her participation and her work as Battleteam Leader, but she insisted on feeling as though she'd earned it by completing a Major Task for me and going through all the other steps required of her as a Jedi Hunter. This is without even mentioning the valuable ideas that she's given me in discussions; one of the projects I've completed during my time as Consul was wholly her idea, and another one currently being worked on was highly influenced by her great ideas. I'm proud to say that Dyrra truly deserves this promotion for her positive presence in Clan Naga Sadow, her almost never-ending stream of ideas to benefit her Clan, and her desire to improve the DB as a whole. Congratulations on earning your saber, my apprentice! ~ CNS CON Manji Keibatsu Sadow
