Nath is one of those members that’s always around when you need her most. Though her life outside the DJB takes up much of her time, Nath is always one to continue doing her best to contribute to the units growth, whether it is through wiki assistance, mentoring new members or just general activity. Since Nath’s most recent award of merit, she has managed to participate in 7 competitions, attaining one Crescent with Amethyst Star, one Crescent with Emerald Star, four Clusters of Ice and four Seals of Revelation. Nath is also hard at work with NPC creation for the Nighthawk as well as offering points for the Nighthawk BT and ship wikis. To top it all off, Nath has recently finished an Antei Combat Center battle that is awaiting judgement, being one of the few, aside from the bracket, matches to be completed since the reopening of the ACC!

It is that drive and desire to continue growing within the Brotherhood that brings me to offering a Dark Cross to Nath. Thank you for all you do, and continue strong. Congratulations!

Arcia Cortel, Captain of the Nighthawk

I am honoured to be recommending Nath for this Dark Cross, she has been an active and dedicated member inside of Clan Arcona and House Galeres. Participating in the Great Jedi War to help Arcona achieve First Clan in the Brotherhood, for her hard work and effort she has earned this Dark Cross. Congratulations on this merit medal, keep up the hard work inside of the clan.

It takes a lot of work to rally people to partake in a war. It's easy to get lost in the little details, or get stuck on your own submissions and forget that you have those folks relying on you to pump them up, get them excited, let alone they myriad proofing, suggesting, and other help that leaders give our members. On the other side of that, it takes a deft hand to sooth hurt feelings, when someone puts a lot of work into a submission, only to have it not place. It stings when that happens, and it takes a strong leader to help that member dust themselves off and learn from the experience rather than wallow in it. Vivackus in Plagueis and Rian in Taldryan both found themselves doing just that over the course of this last war and during Fading Light. For their efforts, I am awarding them both Sapphire Blades. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

Four Years is a long time. It's a bachelor's degree. It's the length of a job for some people. It's a presidential term. The last four years, Xen'Mordin has put his nose to the grindstone, working on the Empire of Scholae Palatinae, working to get things moving again, to bring them to new glory and higher plateaus than ever before. The recent Great Jedi War shows that. Xen led from the trenches, driving the House to a third place win, edging out established clans and proving that they are indeed a force to be reckoned with. He's been driving at all of the points to get Scholae Palatinae clanned, by slowly growing the house, by building activity, by showing his members how things work in the club. It's a long path, but the only one that builds lasting results, the kind that doesn't vanish when you step away. In a way, it's a big project, wrenching on the House. As such, I would like to recognize Xen'Mordin with an Amethyst Kukri. Thanks, Xen. Your work is appreciated. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

Affable and yet occasionally frustrating, Marick - known better to most as Wally - has been a brilliant Consul in Arcona for going on two years, with another three years on the summit before that. He's been their cheerleader, their advocate, their teacher, their disciplinarian, their leader, and probably most importantly, their friend. Giving of himself almost to a fault, I have seen Marick online working into the wee hours when almost everyone else has faded off to slumber, to work, to other interests. He refuses to give in, refuses to stop, and no doubt that has caused some arguments between him and I, or between him and the Master at Arms. But it's easy to forgive him, because we can see in every action that he is doing it for the members. Never for himself, always for the members. Most recently, We've all seen him rallying the troops, bringing Arcona again to the podium for their work in the Great Jedi War. As he is right now probably trying to sort through exactly what can be awarded to his people, I feel the need to award him with an Emerald dagger for his efforts. Thank you, Wally. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

Pravus is one of those people who legitimately has everything. It makes it difficult to award him for his work. In the five months since he took up the mantle of DGM again, he's been a constant help, a voice of reason, and a second set of eyes on everything that's been going through on the Dark Council. On top of that, he wrote the GJW story (Much of it from a hotel in Germany, too) and has been absolutely critical to the grading process. Everyone reading this knows how good he is, so I'm not going to waste all of our time with finding platitudes to spout off. Matt, you kick ass. Have something no one else has: a Third Amethyst Kukri, for being a hitter at the time I needed you most, the Great Jedi War. Thanks again for all of your time and effort. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

Something that I have repeated so many times that it is almost nauseating is that 'Leadership is action, not position.' We've come to expect more out of our Dark Council than the narrow scope of work that their job descriptions describe, but still among these rockstars, Mav stepped up the game. With this last Great Jedi War, Mav led the charge on working to come up with scoring schemes, event coordination, and then grading and score/participation compilation. It's no small task, and it's not sexy or even fun, but it is necessary work to keep up with the breakneck pace that we have all grown accustomed to. While relatively new to the position, Mav has taken initiative and ran with it, and it's that work ethic and attitude that is beyond commendable. As a token of my thanks, I am recommending him for a Sapphire Blade to add to his collection. Thanks again, Mav. It means a lot. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

Valhavoc is one of my favorite people. He is level headed, calm, mature, but passionate and aggressive in his protection of our club. Most of us who have been around for a while know that the gaming side of the Brotherhood has a reputation for people trying to sneak things past the rules, for trying to game the systems and wreck competitions. While I think this is not a broadly correct picture of our gamers, there is no denying that there are some who deserve that reputation. Valhavoc has been the vigilant watchman over this aspect of our club. That is, in itself, a full time job, aside from keeping on top of necessary rewards scale changes and exploring new games for our members to enjoy. It's a lot of work, especially during a season of vendettas and a Great Jedi War. As such, I would like to present him with a token of our esteem, the sacramental weapon known as the Amethyst Kurki. Thank you for all that you have done, and all that I know you will continue to do. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos
