Morgan has been out and about on the JA public servers, spreading the DB's name about and kicking arse while he does it. He's been representing the DB and Arcona and wholly deserves the promotion to Guardian.

Generally the most glaringly obvious reason for a promotion is the member’s activity level. While David is an active contributor to the Clan, who can always be counted on to help out in any competition, I would give a more important reason for this specific promotion. Even though he has remained a Jedi Hunter for more than a year, David has stayed loyal to Clan Taldryan. He has been overlooked time and time again for promotion or reward, but instead of getting angry or leaving; David just quietly contributes to his Clan and asks for nothing in return. This Clan loyalty is incredible, especially considering he hasn’t even been granted his lightsaber yet! Well it is time for David to receive this long overdue promotion, and be given a lightsaber to proudly carry. (CON Kir’s Anniversary Awards 2004)

Your Highness Lord Darth Firefox, Your Eminence Lord Jac Cotelin and Your Excellency Master Corran Force,

I request for the Honourable Warlord Malik Sadow to be recieve the Strikes of the Accounting and be elevated to the status of Overlord of the Sith Order.

I am recommending this not only upon my own recommendation, but on behalf of the Emissary whose intention I believe it was to make such an award but whose commitments outside the Brotherhood have made it hard to do so, and after a recommendation made by the outgoing Commander of the Guard Halcyon some time ago- a recommendation I should have acted on far earlier.

I appreciate that this request may come a little early considering Malik's time as a Consul but I feel he is long overdue for an award from someone who has effectively been his direct superior for his entire time in the Brotherhood. I have passed him up too many times for promotion through unfair comparison to the time usually asked of others, and I feel it is time I made amends. The Excellent Adept Halcyon made a specific request for Malik's promotion to Overlord way back in December, I really have sat on it for far too long now...

Malik has been a tremendous leader and member of Clan Naga Sadow for so many years now, I believe he joined around the same time as myself. Sadly he has always seemed to be passed up for promotion, in his own words it is the "story of his life". I recall he was an Acolyte for months- despite being active- something I have never fully understood. Perhaps the blame rests on the oppression the old Imperial Order wrestled on us, but I believe the blame partially lies on myself and a few others for simply always forgetting about Malik when he should have been elevated along with the rest of us.

As far as leaders go I can think of few better than Malik. He has been solidly devoted to the Summit of Clan Naga Sadow for the best part of the last two years. Two full years in leadership, thats a long time, and one hell of a commitment. I know, I've been there. When I left Consul I really worried about the future of the Clan, but, together with the Honourable Jonuss Rai, Malik has been sure to keep things running. Sure Naga Sadow may not be the largest Clan in the Brotherhood, but it pulled off fourth place in the Third Sith War and put up a fight to the last minute for Third place against Clan Taldryan. That alone is worthy of recognition. When Jonuss Rai left as Consul I feared for the future of my old Clan, but my lack of faith was misplaced. Since coming to Consul Malik has managed to find a good Proconsul in the Right Honourable Tissaya Argat. During his sabbatical last month the Clan has held together even without him in constant contact.

Has Clan Naga Sadow seen better times? Yes, but so has every other Clan. That is not the fault of Malik or any Consul, that is simply the world we live in at the moment. But Malik is one of the few who looks to the future and embraces new ideas. He is open to change, enjoys new platforms such as Galaxies and is not stuck in the past. At the same time he understands the need for tradition, as we can see in his Clan's retention of three Houses.

Most important of all, is that Malik has never lost his hold as a good leader. It is hard to run a Clan these days, and often it is so easy to lose faith and abandon hope. But what is important is to look optimistic, not to whine about the problems we are facing but to remain hopeful, as that hope will pass onto those below you. I know how hard that is to do, and in that sense perhaps it is better that Malik is Consul of Naga Sadow today rather than myself, for he has that spark, that ability to keep going despite the hardships.

For someone who held his House together even during the worst of times for the Sith Order, and someone who remains the Consul of one of only two Clans to retain a Sith House, I believe his services to the Sith Order are exemplary. That is not to mention his work as effectively the sole Eclectic Pedagogue of the Sith courses of the Shadow Academy, administrating half a dozen courses, along with other non Sith courses, all on his own. I firmly believe that Sith Overlord should only be bestowed on those who have not only helped their Clan but done a service, a lasting service, to the entire Order. Malik has more than accomplished this. Fictionally we are the Keepers of Traditions, I'm pleased to say that Malik has certainly succeeded in ensuring the tradition, the spirit and the image of the Sith doesn't whither away and die. He is one of the few keeping it alive.

The Sith Order is without enough Overlords, and I am pleased to say that I feel glad to be able to come to welcoming in another. Perhaps to some this promotion will come early, but what we all must remember is that life as a Sith is not an easy one, harder yet is life as a Consul. Too often do we forget the word these noble few put into holding the foundations of the Brotherhood together, and so it is about time we acknowledge one of those few for the work he has done.

My congratulations to your my friend, may I finally fulfil my promise to get you Sith Warlord, well now Sith Overlord, that I made so long ago. Long may you continue to serve the Final Way.

In the Glory of Lord Darth,

His Excellency, Adept Xanos Zorrixor Son of Sadow, Chosen of Serpentis

Jedi Hunter Jyx Zirv-Zinor is one of the few members of CSK that takes challenges to heart and does his best to succeed at their fulfillment. He is an asset to our Clan, that should go without saying, but more so - he is part of our struggling family. Some time ago, the leadership of Clan Satal Keto devised a modified set of advancement guidelines to facilitate the melding of the Orders. For so long we 'stipulated' between Sith, Obelisk and Krath in a way that seemed to foster their segregation, but with the approval of the new guidelines, each member faces the same 'core' tasks for promotion. It should never be the policy of any leadership echelon to 'give' rank away, and Jyx's case was no exception. I must say, that his QUA and I pressed him to work a bit harder because we knew that he will some day take his place among the leadership - and in that, would require the skills and understanding that initiative, drive and effort can bring. He has completed his requirements to be elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. His trials took him from merely attempting success at House and Phyle level, to competing within the Clan and then the Brotherhood while placing his "Krath Order' 2nd and his membership to the Brotherhood 1st. His trials also required his expansion of DB knowledge, the workings of the Clan summits and even into the roll of RM in Aleema. Jyx is a character, I'll have to give him that, and most who know him will agree - but his passion for the Brotherhood exceeds his antics more times than none. He remains professional when necessary but is boisterous enough to keep from being boring. We hope for his continued service to the Clan as he expands the scope of his knowledge and participation, but for now - the younger members will look to him for guidance as they begin their journeys to attain their sabres. It is with pride that I request that JH Jyx Zirv-Zinor join the next level of accomplishment, be sent to build his first sabre, and be granted the elevation to Dark Jedi Knight.

Kandos has bean an asset to Qel-Droma in the past six months. Even though he has his quiet periods, he always remains active. He won several ACC battles in the last Sith War, and was also quite active in the recently held Phyle War. That, combined with the fact that he's been a JH for six months now, is reason enough to award him with his lightsabre. Congratulations, Kandos :)
