This recommendation is a long time in coming. Over 6 years to be exact. Brimstone has been a constant beacon of activity over that time, a true powerhouse in churning out entries and raking in Crescents and credits. More than that he is a steady voice around the various channels we use to communicate in and a valued member of Clan Vizsla, the entire brotherhood and good friend to have around.

I had to break out the super advanced calculator to add up all the competitions he has entered and medals he has won. A total of 720 competitions in the last 6 years is more than most members enter in their entire career. He has completed 11 ACC battles and written 27456 words of fiction counting his work in various Run Ons. From all that activity he has won 107 crescents and 2 Gold Nova. He has amassed 1055 total Clusters, 74 Seals, 8 Merit awards, 1 Sapphire Blade, and 1 Ruby Scepter.

It is simply staggering the amount of work he puts into competing in the Club. More than that though he has become a valuable member of the Vizsla Summit over the last 6 months. I won’t lie I was skeptical at how he would perform, since he had never been in a leadership role within the club. He has exceeded my goals for him and performed his duties both promptly and accurately. Tasked with updating the clans records in the new Google Drive account and the spreadsheets within. Oftentimes he has them updated within minutes of the activity being made public.

His assistance on various Clan projects has been helpful as well with the Fleet retcon being the most expansive. We recently redid the entire Clan Fleet in Vizsla. He assisted both Ricmore, and myself in going over the ships, building a plan and then organizing the Vizsla Navy. This was not a small task as we literally sold our entire assets, planned and crunched numbers and then made a list of various fleet designs before choosing the final plan. It was a big undertaking that took over a month to complete.

Brimstone has over the years fought through every conceivable issue and coined the phrase “Brimstoning” as has been mentioned before. Doing everything you can with as little resources as possible. That kind of dedication and determination is rare and should be recognized at every available opportunity. This is one such time and I am happy to recommend Brimstone for this promotion and to be the first to congratulate him.

Balthasar, 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, Balthasar, 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,

Everyone's favourite maniac with a smile, Jorm is one of those members that has seemingly slipped under the radar. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to this. Jorm is one of those members that encompasses the very idea if fun within the Brotherhood, and that's not just in Taldryan (though he has been an outstanding member in his time here too.) But in Clan Scholae Palatinae, where he spent over a year on their House summit. (More on that below)

So let's start crunching the numbers, shall we? 10,550 words of fiction written (That's not even including the recent Tal RP), 103 competitions participated in, and 25 competitions organised. In terms of awards, he has earned the following since his last promotion in 2018;

Grand Cross - 1 Bronze Nova - 1 Crescent with Ruby Star- 2 Crescent with Amethyst Star- 6 Crescent with Sapphire Star - 10 Crescent with Emerald Star - 8 Crescent with Topaz Star - 3

Now, the promotion guidelines state that for EQ4, a member must have completed roughly 6 months of CON level leadership or equivalent. Jorm completed 3 months as a Battleteam Leader, 6 months as an Aedile, and then one full calendar year as a Quaestor where he undertook projects such as aiding his Consul at the time (Elincia/Zentru’la) with military possession admin, and wiki work which can be seen here. When a new Consul was appointed during his time as Quaestor, he helped get them become familiar with the running of the Clan itself, along with running competitions for his House. On top of this, Jorm helped create the future Clan Storylines. One of which was the CSP: Iron Sky event. and also the CSP: Into the Fire event, where he helped co-author the Event background. as well as came up for the idea and co-hosted the events Run-On.

Outside of all the fancy numbers, Jorm is just one of those members that any Clan would be glad to have in its roster. He's active engaging, humorous, willing to help with anything the Clan has going on. Case in point, the recent Taldryan event where he was a key player in the storyline and its events. Speaking of that event, Jorm is part of the reason that the event was structured the way it is. He suggested the idea for quick, easy competitions over multiple, short weeks as a platform for experimentation.

I could keep singing Jorm's praises until the next day comes, but even then i don't think it would do him any kind of justice. So instead, I'll summise by saying that Taldryan is lucky to have him amongst its roster. Its been a delight getting to know him over the past few months, and I am more than happy to recommend his promotion to EQ4. Congratulations, Jorm! You earned it!
