Enapace has been a very active member of Taldryan ever since he joined the house about 4 months ago. He has fought himself through numerous Gaming events on different supported platforms, ranging from Jedi Outcast to Star Wars: The old Republic in order to achieve the needed amount of Clusters of Fire and the rank-reputation within the Grand Master’s Royal Guard as well as the work it takes to pass the amount of Shadow Academy Exams and Dark Mavens for the Dark Savant Tactics and Combat, which used to serve as his House Summit Task and became Magistrate to the Senechal.

In terms of other activities, Enapace has participated in a total of 16 Competitions since he joined the DJB, earning himself 6 Crescents (including one bearing a Diamond Star), three Merit medals (one Legion of the Scholar and two Dark Crosses), and one Seal of Decimation. Not to mention his constant presence in the house’s IRC channel.

Back in the time before he joined his brothers and sisters in Taldryan Enapace has passed both the Leadership Fundamentals and the Leadership Studies Exams, ran a Competition on his own for the members of House Revan during his term there and finished a quality wiki article about his personal character.

For his continued dedication to this Club and his activity in House Taldryan, I would like to recommend that Jedi Hunter Enapace be elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations on earning your lightsaber, bear it with pride!

OP Rian Aslar Quaestor of House Taldryan

In the past year and four months that Enapace has been a Jedi Hunter, he has been one busy guy! My man Enapace’s activity in gaming is unreal, and in the past couple months alone he has garnered 128 Clusters of Fire for himself. His actions in Jedi Academy and The Old Republic have earned him his place in the Grand Masters Royal Guard as a rank IV, thus proving his worth amongst the gamers of this club. Enapace, along with a fair few are the representing members in the Taldryan portion of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood TOR Guild, and he has done a fantastic job at showing for Tal.

Overall, Enapace has earned 6 Crescents, ranging from Quartz to Diamond, as well as a Legion of the Scholar for his feats in trivia. His prowess in the Shadow Academy is far beyond most, having earned himself a total of 5 Dark Side Degrees, including a Maven in Flight, History, Combat and Philosophy, as well as the outstanding accomplishment by earning a Dark Savant in Tactics and Combat. Enapace/Rial has also passed both Leadership Fundamentals and Studies with flying colors.

This member has participated in 6 total competitions, and has placed in each event he has submitted too. In addition, he has completed countless Flash Points in The Old Republic. He has also ran his own competition, titled “Fly the Copter” while in House Revan and had a decent turnout.

Enapace has gone above and beyond and has completed TWO Tasks requested by the Taldryan Summit for his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. Those tasks being: earning a Dark Savant in Tactics and Combat, as well as earning Rank IV in the GMRG and earning 80 Clusters of Fire in one month. Rial has done with ease, and despite a busy real life schedule he has pushed through and immerged as a well deserving member to be elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

This member, as you can see, is due for his elevation to the coveted rank of Dark Jedi Knight: The final tier in the Journeymen class, and the last step before entering into the Equites. Rial, dude… congrats! Go enjoy your spoils and find yourself a sexy new War Banner, Lightsaber and Robes for Taldryan’s new Knight!

Again, well done, and extremely well earned.

Little Enapace...not so little anymore, are ya? Since I get to be a special guest of sorts on this episode of "Promote the Deserving Journeyman", I'll skip the boring mumbo jumbo about Shadow Academy courses and Clusters of Fire; ultimately they're not what a promotion is really about. A promotion, especially the elevation to Dark Jedi Knight, is a measure of experience. In the case of a Knighting, it's akin to a coming-of-age; recognition that one is fully a member of this Brotherhood. Consider this, there are no Knighted Apprentices...only Masters. Enapace has been a part of our Brotherhood for about a year and a half now, and in that time he's had a chance to explore what exactly he enjoys as a member of this club. Everyone has their favourite thing, whether that be composing poetry or downing hardmode bosses in The Old Republic. Now, he has the opportunity to build upon that foundation and help better the experience for everyone. I hope you give it your best shot.

-Ben

I hereby recommend the elevation of Enapace to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight of the Brotherhood.

Over the past year or so, I have gotten to see Enapace mature into his potential within the club. At first, he was all about the quick elevations, but he has since become more involved with the club in more than just some SA courses or JO matches. He has become a fixture in the various IRC channels of the club, and he is beginning to become recognized within the club.

Enapace has completed all of the trials that he has been presented, and he has completed a task specified by his house summit: the earning of a Dark Savant in Combat and Tactics. In fulfilling this last task, Enapace had to branch out to something beyond his normal Jedi Outcast rounds, and he did this by playing TOR levels over the past few weeks. Enapace has also taken on additional responsibility by becoming a magistrate to the Senechal.

Congrats on your promotion, Enapace, and I hope you will continue to participate in the various activities offered by the Brotherhood in the years to come.

Shikyo has done a crazy amount of work over the last few years, between HSH, creating numerous custom lightsabers for the members as well as creating warbanners. He's been hard at work with the Face Selector and various parts of the possession system. He has served as an advisor to Naga Sadow along with myself, helping the younger generation become the leaders that they are now. I'd say he's more than deserving of a promotion to the next rank. Congrats bro! ~ OPM Fremoc Pepoi, Fist of the Brotherhood.

Can someone check the all-time record for Dark Council tenure? Really impressive what you have accomplished as a DC member. Visual engagement of our members is one of the most important things we offer. It sets the hook. The options Shikyo and his team provides to us are second-to-none. Robes. Sabers. Warbanners. You won't find customization like that anywhere else. And certainly not for free. I appreciate all the work this man has done for us and look forward to his work in the future. - Raken, Shadow Hand

Shikyo has been an outstanding Herald for the Brotherhood. His time and dedication to his job is evident in the robes and sabers that have been added to the selector. I have watched him hone his skills over the years and improve his techniques. His leadership as a member of the DC is invaluable and his love for this club shines through those he has mentored. I am proud to recommend him for this promotion.

~Ashia Kagan Keibatsu, Consul Emeritus

Fix my robes. Fix my lightsaber. Fix my banner. Draw me new robes. Draw me a new lightsaber. Draw me a new banner. I want a lightsaber made out of a blaster with the Dark Side glowing off of the hilt! And the demands of the Herald go on and on. Shikyo has heard these demands for five years, two years at the same rank, and over one year without an award. To say he is deserving of a promotion to Dark Jedi Master is an understatement. Shikyo has performed year after year fulfilling the small weapon/armor/banner fantasies of the entire Dark Jedi Brotherhood. His craft and expertise have produced numerous select-able items for our members to enhance their experience within the Dark Brotherhood. If there were ever a slam dunk recommendation to Dark Jedi Master, this is it. Congratulations!

-GM Pravus, Voice

The problem with Elder promotions is that at this level the recommendation is often worth more than the promotion itself. And honestly, most of us are at a loss for words where Shikyo is involved. We can point at his work, and see the scores of new products he has released in his tenure. We can point at his ever-increasing skill. I remember teaching him the ropes in Corel like it was yesterday... and here he is, beating my own mentor's record for longest serving Herald. I could point at his leadership skill, despite being in a position that doesn't really directly 'lead' anything but a small staff.

But here's what I can say.

There have always been some who say that Shikyo is just my little brother. That he's going to always be in my shadow. I am saying right now that he's not. He's the guy who keeps me motivated to draw, which is one of the things that fuels my own fire for the brotherhood. He challenges me, my ideas, my concepts, and he always comes back with something better, urging me to step up my game, to give everything I have to my work.

How do you reward a guy who leads the leader?

This isn't enough, Shikyo.

But it's a start.
