Kristeva is a member of some length in our Clan and within our club. She has stuck with Clan Naga Sadow and while life can keep us all busy, she keeps coming back bit by bit. In looking at our roster late this last evening, I noticed that K was still sitting at the rank of Equite 1 and found myself mildly baffled. I know that many times Equite promotions are spurred on by wild bursts of sustained activity, but I think that given the extended time that Kristeva has stuck with us, that she is worthy of consideration.

Since her last promotion some five years ago, K has still managed to accrue a tidy little package of activities and club shinies. Having run Clan trivia, a fiction competition spurred on an in character dream, a Halloween fiction competition in 2018 and a Halloween graphics competition themed around fear it is not as though this Mystic has not made her own little mark in our community.

A large part of Kristeva's activity is evident in competition participation, gaming, writing and the Shadow Academy. In the competitive realm, she has completed some 33 competitions (50 if you include brackets and containers). More than just this, she has competed in 5 legacy PVP matches, participated in 23 gaming activities completed 4 ACC battles and has participated in another 5 fiction activities. She also earned 2 Seals of Wrath by supporting Clan Naga Sadow in Great Jedi War XII. Some of the other competition goodies earned include a Crescent with a Diamond Star for the November 2020 SA Decathalon, 3 Crescents with a Ruby Star for the Destiny Send off and the Shadow Academy 4th Quarter Decathlon in 2020, a Crescent with an Emerald Star for a fiction competition in our Tensions in the Orian Empire event in 2020, and a Crescent with a Topaz Star for participating in part of our 2016 HSD-election based event. Also worth noting is that Kristeva earned a Legion of the Scholar for running a trivia event in our Clan channel.

Let me tackle gaming and fiction in a little more detail.

How varied have her activities been? Well, those gaming activities have been spread between a Heroes of the Storm matches with Clanfolks, Strikes in Destiny, Crucible Matches in the same, and completing rifts in Diablo 3 with fellow club members. For these efforts? Kristeva has scored 58 Clusters of Fire, 72 Clusters of Earth and 6 Pendants of Blood.

Her fiction pursuits have been spread across the aforementioned ACC battles, a Run-On (with 1641 words spread over 3 posts), role playing (totaling 434 words at present), and 3 regular fiction competitions at the tune of another 2885 words. This equals up to a cool, cool 28 Clusters of Ice! This isn't to say that K's creative talents are limited only to fiction, as she has also earned 3 Clusters of Graphite for participation in graphics activity.

A third thing which I think is worthy of some recognition is that even though real life has kept Kristeva from our midst intermittently, she still has managed to find some time to peek into the halls of the Shadow Academy. 34 courses over a variety of subjects have been passed, and no less than 7 degrees have been earned by her. These include not only 4 Mavens in Lore, Galactic History, Legends and Historical Legends but also 2 Savants (in History and Lore and Legends) and a Sage in History and Lore!

Looking at the recommendations written for the 3 Dark Crosses that Kristeva has earned since her last promotion, it is clear that she is a valued member of the Sadowan corner of the club and our corner of that galaxy far, far away. I and others have thoroughly enjoyed Kristeva's company over the years. That is not why I am writing this promotion request, however. Keeping that mindset of giving members of what they have earned, I want to be sure that we do not sell Kristeva short.

I hope that if things shake out that she will return to our midst and I hope that she will find the time to game, to write, and to compete/participate with all of us in Clan Naga Sadow and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood as a whole.

It has taken a while for us to get there, but it is my pleasure to write this recommendation. Drinks will be on you aboard the Perdition tonight, Savant Kristeva!

Mystic Kristeva is a valued member here of House Shar Dakhan. She is someone you can rely on to maintain a good level of activity all year round and when the Clan takes part in a Vendetta. She also is a light hearted and pleasant addition to our discussions in discord and previously telegram and sets a great example in terms of activity and behavior to others.

She is also happy to take part in discussions about our Houses fictional development such as when we discussed the changes to our battleteam and made a valuable and honest contribution.

Looking at the figures in her activity report since she was promoted to the Equites, they reinforce what is said above about a member who has an impressive range of activity. From entering comps and running her own, writing both her own fictions and against others in the Antei Combat Centre, earning an impressive collection of Shadow Academy Courses and Degrees, Crescents, and a great number of varied Clusters for a wide range of activity.

When you look at someones history as a whole, and you can go through pretty much every possible type of DB activity and see lots of examples of each, you get the image of a complete Dark Brotherhood member. Someone who is prepared to have a go at everything on offer. And you can certainly see that Kristeva is one of those members.

For all of her continued activity and loyalty to Clan Naga Sadow, I have no doubt that Kristeva has earned her promotion to Savant

Nora Olen, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Dark Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed. Your accomplishments include:

• Join the Dark Brotherhood Discord and link your dossier
• Pass 8 Shadow Academy courses from the Fundamentals Department

I will continue to watch your progress, Nora Olen, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

May the Force guide you, Journeyman,

It has been a little over a year and a half since Von Ricmore was promoted. During that time he has continued to be a beacon of activity within the Clan and Brotherhood as a whole. Despite a busy college schedule, he stays connected with the members of Clan Vizsla and the Brotherhood as a whole. He leads as a leader should, from the front and by his example.

In terms of participation that is shown in his 85 competitions completed. His activity has earned him 22 Crescents and 2 merit medals, a Steel Cross, and Dark Cross respectively. He is nearly always up for gaming as is shown by 1148 Clusters of Earth and 174 Clusters of Fire. He has composed 4231 words of fiction and another 1475 in run-ons.

Just after the last vendetta, Ricmore approached me about redesigning the Vizsla fleet. This was a big project and I would be straight up lying if I said anything other than it was spearheaded by Ricmore. After taking volunteers to work on it we poured over the possessions doing several plans each with its own costs and strengths and weaknesses. It took over a month to compile the data and then buy the fleet and organize it. It was a big undertaking and Ricmore handled it like a pro. During the recent Planetary Assets release, his advice has once again been invaluable in shaping the future of Clan Vizsla. With discussions and planning being done with me behind ‘closed’ doors we have developed the defenses for not just the Clan Headquarters and Spaceport but the Fleet repair yard. He has placed his stamp on the p[ossessions of this clan in a major way and I would have been hard-pressed to complete both projects without his assistance.

He has served 9 months now in clan leadership, four as a battle team leader, and five now as Quaestor. He is regular in communicating with his members and the summit. He emails new joins promptly and is admirable in his desire to get members engaged and active. But I would say he has been a leader in Clan Vizsla for far longer. Even before taking a leadership role he was always ready and willing to help new members and even some of us old-timers. Assisting in everything from possessions, Character Sheets down to proofing fiction entries and volunteering to teach members to play the various games in the Brotherhood.

Congratulations Ricmore!

Since his last promotion, Druzk has been an active member spending the required time of 14 days in rank. He has made a approved character sheet and joined the DJB Discord. On top of that he has participated in 3 competitions and has earned 40 Clusters of Earth. Spending time over in the Shadow Academy, he’s passed 12 courses and has rank 2 in both GMRG and SA societies.

I am proud to recommend the rank of Courier to Druzk Zornosz! Congratulations and thank you for your effort and we hope to see your continued advancement!
