As an apprentice Vai has continued to impress me with the dedication that he shows to the Brotherhood in whole, and Cestus in particular.  Although he took a few months off to deal with a case of RL, Vai's return a few months back has shown none of the all too familiar patterns of burn out.  Since returning to active service, Vai has been named: Rollmaster of Cestus; is participating in a Master/Apprentice run-on; has completed a Wiki article on his character; has participated in numerous house and clan compeitions.

Having trained more than a few apprentices in my time, none have impressed me as much as Vai.  For that reason, as his Master I fully endorse his elevation to Jedi Hunter.
Under my hand,
Sato Tarentae. Master of Vai Azexel.

Vai is one of the most talented Rollmaster this Clan has had, continuing the tradition of Sato and his predecessors. As a person who sets examples, he is the one the Journeymen of this House can turn to. For his dedication, I promote Vai to the rank of Jedi Hunter.
Kazarelth Talismarr, Quaestor of House Cestus


Vai has proven himself to be a devoted member of Cestus, even earning a Steel Cross for his work. His activity is stellar, and his strive to get newer members masters and give guidance is a great accomplishment. Overall, he is helping a House once notorious for very few active newer members become a stronger House with very strong new Journeymen, and I commend him for it and endorse his promotion.

When Taigikori Aybara was announced as the new Quaestor of House Qel-Droma, I was hopeful. He had large shoes to fill coming in on the heels of Vorion, and Taig knew it. He immediately introduced a barrage of new policies and stricter protocols, each driving the House closer to the success desired in the Great Jedi War. He's worked his ass off as Quaestor, and he's become a symbol of leadership in the Clan. On a personal level, he's a good guy to talk to, helpful and eager, with phenomenal levels of activity. His gaming prowess and work in the Shadow Academy are also well noted, demonstrating his ability to contribute to the Brotherhood across the board. Taig is a hardworking Quaestor that deserves some love. – DJK Legorii Kryotek.

Taigikori came to me a few months ago, around August I want to say, to volunteer with some SA course audits. He was looking into ways of expanding his horizons in the Brotherhood, and wanted to do whatever he could to improve the DB and Shadow Academy. He did his audits, but then when others fell through he stepped up and quickly knocked them out. It was then that I realized he could be of great use, and so I made him a Special Magistrate. Since then, he has always been there willing to volunteer and helping out with anything I ask of him. He did a few Wiki audits, and even a truly boring Dark Vault assignment, but he never let up. He a, and recently went through and graded all of the waiting exams that were backlogged from the coding glitches, and there were a lot of them. He is a key member in discussions I have with Dacien and Kalak, and his ideas are always welcomed and often implemented in one form or another. He is also a great member to harass. I do not plan on letting go of Taig anytime soon, and I am already planning on giving him several new projects to work with, including helping with fictional developments. Taig is an amazing member, and while I can only speak of his involvement with the Shadow Academy, I can say that he is a crucial, key player here, and I am truly thankful for all of his hard work and dedication. ~ Sith Warlord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar, Headmaster of the Shadow Academy

The above two resounding endorsements encompass what I see is a microcosm of Taig’s attitude towards the DB in general and Arcona in particular. I’d heard mixed messages before taking him on in Arcona as a Quaestor, however within the first week he’d already in my eyes proven himself by settling into the job like a duck to water. He’s settled into a brilliant working relationship with his Aedile as well as every member of staff on his team. Nobody in the clan has a bad word to say about him, because they all see the time and effort he puts in. He’s willing to muddy his hands and get stuck in and lead from the front. A particular example would be when I asked him to participate in the Arcona ACC Ladder. He doesn’t particularly enjoy that writing format, yet he didn’t even try to work his way out of it – he just nodded and put in a valiant showing. He puts out regular reports, keeps a close eye on his members’ requirements and rewards, and is always available to help with Clan-level projects should he be needed to. However, he isn’t just a yes-man. Taig’s recent singlehanded establishment of the DB Ventrilo servers are just another example of his willingness to think outside the box and benefit the entire DB, rather than just himself. It is high time Arcona recognised the easy-going willingness to help Taigikori always presents as the backbone of this clan, and one of the main reasons we are so settled and stable after a brief tumultuous period. Thanks, man. I don’t know where we’d be without you. - Sashar
