• Pontifex Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae: Pontifex Strategos has led the forces of Arcona from the front of three consecutive wars. During this time Strategos has proven his willpower and courage, marking him as one of Arcona’s greatest warriors. Leading by example, Strategos has waded in amongst the enemy with the full use of the Dark Side at his command. Slaying countless warriors, he has led by example rather than words and his example is one that all Equites should seek to copy.

Strategos has displayed leadership and dedication to both Arcona and the Dark Brotherhood and he has earned the respect of his peers and subordinates alike. Strategos has passed beyond the knowledge of the Equite Class and has gained the required skill and power to become and Elder. For his skill and prowess on the battlefield, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Pontifex Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae to the rank of Dark Adept.

• Sith Battlemaster Dacien “BubbaX” Victae: Sith Battlemaster Dacien “BubbaX” Victae is a warrior of many talents. Over the last year Dacien has served as QUA, PCON, CON, QUA, LHoJ, and P:HM. He has served in each of these positions with distinction and honor while maintaining a high level of personal activity. Dacien’s most recent accomplishments include computer upgrades and analysis to the Shadow Academy, computer upgrades to the Clan Plagueis computer network, and multiple judicial cases as a Hand of Justice.

Serving in multiple positions over a period of time is not a path to power in the Dark Side, but serving in these positions while accomplishing great amounts of work on behalf of the Dark Brotherhood is. SBM Dacien “BubbaX” Victae is a champion amongst the Equite Class and it is time for him to reach new levels of responsibility. For dedication and superior work, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Sith Battlemaster Dacien “BubbaX” Victae to the rank of Sith Warlord.

Dark Jedi Knight Sai Na'Ashar Keibatsu: It is said that Dark Jedi Knight Sai Na’Ashar Keibatsu is one of the most promising members in the Dark Brotherhood. Having served as a Battle Team leader and Rollmaster, Sai ensured the smooth logistical operation of Clan Naga Sadow and helped push CNS forward through the Great Jedi War. This effort and dedication is multiplied when viewed from the perspective that Sai is but a journeymen in the Brotherhood.

Having proven himself above and beyond the status of a journeyman, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Dark Jedi Knight Sai Na’Ashar Keibatsu to the rank of Krath Priest.

---

Sai Na'Ashar Keibatsu is for lack of better words the most promising member I have ever seen in my eight years in the Dark Brotherhood. His enthusiasm for this club is second to none, and his desire to do everything within his power and ability to make it a better place for all is simply beyond compare. Serving as both a Battleteam Leader and as the Rollmaster for Clan Naga Sadow he ensured the smooth operation of his Battleteam the Jade Serpents and the seamless transition of the Master/Student Program from the previous Rollmaster (me). He has maintained meticulous records on the achievements of the members greatly reducing the amount of time necessary for administrative affairs. He has worked with the Envoys of the clan to ensure that new members are afforded the educational opportunities they are entitled to. Furthermore he has held both Masters and Apprentices accountable for their portions in the Master/Student Program; this is no easy thing for a Dark Jedi Knight to hold those who are several grades above him in rank to task. Beyond all of these facts and the fact that he has a newborn child to care for Sai continued to be a contributing member in the Seventh Great Jedi War. The work speaks for the nature of the man, but beyond this his character is second to none. Sai's care for this organization is beyond compare. He works tirelessly to make sure that all members high or low receive the same quality of care and the attention that they deserve. He takes the time and goes out of his way to help members in need and even goes so far as to maintain real life contact with several members so that potential situations can be abrogated even swifter than otherwise possible. In short this gentleman is the very sort of person who embodies the Legacy of Clan Naga Sadow and who is in my opinion a rising star within the Dark Brotherhood. It is my profound pleasure and honor to recommend that Dark Jedi Knight Sai Na'Ashar Keibatsu be elevated to Krath Priest for his outstanding work and exemplary dedication to his clan and the Brotherhood. Krath Pontifex Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu

• Battlelord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar: Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar has displayed the warrior ethos in a manner unequaled amongst the Consuls of the Dark Brotherhood. Leader by words and most importantly deeds, Aabsdu placed himself at the tip of the spear in combating the Yuuzhan Vong. Aabsdu has personified the fighting commander that any subordinate would want to serve under by sacrificing his blood, time, and energy.

Through three consecutive wars and countless skirmishes Aabsdu has displayed the confidence, initiative and skill required to advance. His work in combating the Crimson Empire prior to the War with the Yuuzhan Vong granted him skills that he has put to great use in our on-going conflict and they have granted him the necessary ability to become a Sith Warlord. For his prowess on the battlefield, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Sith Battlelord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar to the rank of Sith Warlord.

Pontifex Troutrooper Tarentae: Pontifex Troutrooper has distinguished himself as a scholar and trusted advisor to all those who know him. Serving at the will of two Grand Masters, Troutrooper has explored the deep mysteries of arcane and esoteric Force abilities. Troutrooper’s knowledge has led to the foundation that will one day serve as the core of Force powers all Brotherhood members are trained in.

Pontifex Troutrooper has also proven to be one of our greatest warriors. Leading from the front, TT has led Tarentum in four consecutive conflicts. His skill and cunning in war has proved to be an enormous addition to the already venerable forces of Clan Tarentum. TT’s combined knowledge and warrior prowess has surpassed that of the Equite Ranks. For his wisdom in scholarly pursuits and his prowess on the battlefield, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Pontifex Troutrooper to the rank of Dark Adept.

There are a few members of the Brotherhood who have been more than worthy to stand among the ranks of the Elders, but have been held back either due to time, or efforts to improve the Brotherhood as a whole. In the case of Troutrooper, he has certainly given of himself for everyone’s gain, and now, the time has long-since passed, in my opinion, for him to be given his true station as an Elder of the Brotherhood.

Even before Troutrooper re-joined us here in the Brotherhood from the EH, I spoke with him on a few occasions. Though he knew lines were drawn, and respected them by virtue of his position, he did not let those lines cloud his judgment, or incite his anger. Troutrooper is, and always has been, a gentleman, an intelligent comrade, and a leader of men. We are fortunate to have him in the Brotherhood.

When he re-joined this Brotherhood, he came to us in Tarentum, and I was more than pleased to have him in the Clan. His efforts began immediately. He accepted a leadership position over a Team of individuals, and worked to provide them with a motivated example, and was a dedicated leader. When he resigned those duties, he did so to focus on a job that he knew would have far-reaching effects, and one that would even benefit those members he “left behind.” When Jac took Troutrooper as his Praetor, I knew that good things would come from the office of the Grand Master and his staff.

I was not privy to the actions taken by Troutrooper, but I know, from speaking with Jac, that TT spent a lot of time on projects for Jac, and did them with experience and concern, and was a benefit to Jac’s staff. Though I cannot speak for these projects, I can say that Troutrooper never failed in his activity in the Clan. TT has always maintained his activity levels, and even working for Jac, he still competed in a lot of competitions, and provided an example for his peers of the drive and tenacity that we can all strive for.

Troutrooper was named a Tarentae some time ago in honor of the work he had done for the Clan, but as exhibited by his activity in this Great Jedi War, his motivation has not failed him. He has shown extraordinary talent by placing in many events, and gaining several wins for his works of fiction. He has not slowed his activity in this GJW, and that actually says a lot. Most of us who have participated in several of these Vendettas know how tiresome they can be, especially towards the end. It takes a great deal of determination to maintain a strong level of activity throughout the entire event, and TT has done so. He is an example to everyone in Tarentum, myself included, but also stands as a paragon of activity and excellence to the Brotherhood.

His History Outline shows a number of medals that speak for his constant activity. Going through his earned awards shows that Troutrooper takes part in as many events and activities as he can.

Troutrooper works for the betterment of all, no matter where his opinion places him. I can say without regret, and with a great deal of respect, that Troutrooper will stand against those, myself included, whom he feels is incorrect, and will back up his opinion without hesitation. No matter what the correct resolution is, Troutrooper has insight and wisdom that can always improve the situation. Though I cannot elaborate on this aspect, I can say that a willingness to stand for his convictions is an admirable trait, and is one I hope to see passed on to future generations of Tarentum through interaction with him.

Troutrooper is more than ready to be elevated to the rank of Adept and beyond. The only other thing I can say on his behalf is, we are benefited beyond compare by his presence in the Brotherhood, and I am proud to see him as a member of Tarentum, and a leader within this Clan, even without position. He is an example, and a friend, and I appreciate all that he continues to do.

Congratulations, EvilAckbar.

Dark Greetings Gentlemen,

I come to you today to request a promotion for my Apprentice, Tra'an Reith. Since his promotion to Protector, he has completed the following tasks as set forth by CSP and myself.

So, it is my honor to recommend Protector Tra'an Reith for promotion to Guardian. He has completed all tasks set forth by me, his Master including:

1. Submitted to three fiction GJW events: "Cloak and Dagger", "Cry Havoc", and "And let slip the dogs of war".
2. Completed the Conflict Mediation, Weapon Basics, and General Leadership SA Courses
3. Completed the Advancement Survey
4. Completed his wiki prose up to the current day in the DB
5. Been an almost daily presence on IRC, helping out where he can and asking a ton of questions, exactly what I like to see in new membership.
6. Completed a Summit Task to analyze and breakdown the various Clan's promotion guidelines. This task included what he thought would be a suitable SA path to PRT, something that very nearly parallels what I was thinking of in the first place.

Tra'an shows great promise in the Brotherhood and as such, his Knight trials will test his mettle and resolve.

It is with these things in mind that I request that Tra'an be promoted to the rank of Guardian, so that he may continue to impress us all with the force that he brings to the Clan and the DB as a whole.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

~Lucien

Even though it has only been two weeks since Tra'an Reith was last promoted, I can only support this request. Lucien covered everything in his recommendation, so there's not much to say besides the generic. He has been a great help for Scholae Palatinae and I think it is time that we reward and recognize him for his outstanding efforts in contributing to the Clan.

Congratulations, Tra'an.

I look forward to working with you so that we can get you that lightsaber!

Sarofel has completed an additional 2 SA Courses, and thereby contributed to the Lyspair GJW event. Sarofel should be elevated, in accordance with CNS trials.
