The greatest thing about being a Dark Council member, is the staff you're surrounded by. For a year, Ronovi has been my right hand of all things Shadow Academy, clearing project after project from our to-do lists. She is the sole person in charge of running and writing the fictions for my reports, where she spear-headed the introduction of Jedi Liu Van Dae, bringing about a strong piece of GJW 10 backstory. She alone handles all degree requests, having approved and denied probably over a hundred. These are but tasks, b**** work if you will. Where she really shines, is her ability to counsel and mitigate. There have been times where I would have been lost without her. Over the summer she took on the mantel of teaching the infamous Dark Sage Writing course, fulfilling my desire to see more Star Wars influence. This ten week course was of her own design, breaking apart from former course teachers and establishing her own foot print. She succeeded marvelously, bringing two new graduates and a stronger desire for failed members to try again next year. All of these things have been invaluable to me as a Praetor, and it's high time we recognize her as one of the elite. It is with great pleasure that I recommend her to be elevated in rank to the final rank of the Equites. Congratulations. ~Taigikori Aybara Dupar; Headmaster of the Brotherhood

I think the bulk of what I wanted to say has been covered. Nevertheless, I think it is necessary to throw my two cents in. Ronovi has been a stellar member inside and outside of Arcona. Her approachability, her enthusiasm and her dedication rarely go unnoticed. Even when she was leading Tarentum she still gave everyone her full attention. Her devotion is unmatched. She is a tireless and inspirational member of the Shadow Clan and she is worthy of our full recognition.

Having placed second in the Great Jedi War and winning the Independence Games previously, she has shown her worth as an active member. She blew the competition out of the water with her consistent ability to write phenomenally. Similarly, she was integral in the Arconan ranks, acting as the primary proofreader for the best part of the Great Jedi War for every member of Arcona. This, coupled with her role as Praetor to the Headmaster and her own breathtaking activity shows how much she really put into winning the war for her house, her clan and, more importantly, herself.

I have never had a bad word to say about Ronovi. That says something quite remarkable. She has easily met the requirements for Obelisk Primarch and I am honoured to be writing this recommendation. As mentioned previously, the words have been taken out of my mouth, but I’d like to leave on this note: Ronovi is a fantastic member, always willing to help and omniscient in her writing knowledge. She is, by definition, the perfect Dark Brotherhood member.

Really well done, Ronovi. You’ve more than earned it.

~Wuntila Zratian Entar,

Conflict sharpens minds, hones skill. This is not a new concept. It is in opposition that we grow stronger, or fall to obscurity. When all one has is support and friends, there are no reasons to excel, to reach beyond. There are few who have endured opposition like Ronovi Tavisaen over recent history. There are fewer still who were strong enough to use that hatred and vitriol as fuel for their own furnace, forging themselves into something better, something more than what they were expected to become. Many will discuss her work in the war. Others will point at her work with the Shadow Academy. Some will speak of her capacity to forge onward despite everything thrown at her. I prefer just to salute her, recognizing her for not only what she is, but for what she was, and for what I hope she will become. ~Muz Ashen, Dark Lord of the Sith
