When Tolter started off as the BTL of Keto's Vengeance, he sort of floundered and I was afraid he wasn't going to be able to make the cut. But, through dedication and mentoring he's learned the ropes very quickly and become a very good BTL. Over the last couple of months he's spent all his energy reshaping and motivating his battleteam. He's always giving them competitions and doing what he can to inspire activity from them. I believe he has earned this little 'parting gift' from his QUA who has come to respect and admire him over the course of serving with him.

Laurus is a key individual in House Acclivis Draco. Not only does Laurus provide stable, personal activity (5 Crescents, 34 Clusters of Fire, 3 Seals of Indoctrination) but gives his House (Acclivis Draco) a much needed figure head at the position of Aedile. The task list is long and distinguished, but each month I can guarantee a monthly topic (or two), reports and a desire to help his members progress within the Brotherhood. This is the perfect blend of personal activity, dedication to House/Clan and overall a great leader that I am honored to serve at my side. Thank you for the effort Laurus, we hope to see more! ~ Dakari

Voldemort is one of the most active individuals (though not compared to his mother!) in Scholae Palatinae. Continually you will find this individual leading the charge in both MP Gaming and the ACC (where he is improving greatly as he strives to master the skill of combat writing). Most recently it has come to my attention that he has compiled Crescents (Quartz x2, Amethyst, Ruby) and Clusters of Fire (30). In combination with his high level of Brotherhood-wide activity, IRC presence, and his constant suggestions, ideas and feedback (all of which we greatly appreciate) I recommend this member for a Star of Antei ~ Dakari

It has come to my attention that Dark Knight Korbin has yet to receive a merit medal - today, we will rectify that situation. Korbin is a highly motivated gamer that seems to idle until the competition has CSP backed up against a wall or a major competition comes our way. In short, he is a Protector of Scholae Palatinae and her way of life. His countless Clusters of Fire (194), Crescents (Ruby atop them all) pay homage to this members dedication and long overdue statement of faith from us -- Congrats on your Dark Cross ~ Dakari

Wiktor, while new to Scholae Palatinae, is not new to the Brotherhood and I could see it when I first read his dossier. This member has completed over 10 SA courses, earned 3 CF's and is regularly on IRC (RL permitting). This constant source of activity, drive and motivation is a refreshing change and it is with great hope that we will place him with a worthy Master and see him attain the rank of Dark Knight within Our Clan. But for all of his previous efforts, we wish to award him his first Merit Medal ~ Dakari

Kaylesha has overcome a great many trials and tribulations in her Brotherhood career, but it cannot be stressed enough that she has tried (with great success) to better herself here, in Scholae Palatinae. Since she has joined our ranks she has worked diligently to become a Dark Knight, maintained an adequate level of activity (Cr-E, Cr-E, Cr-T, LSS), and reigned as the BTL of Nightmare Squadron - where she is required to report, develop small competitions and ensure her team is prepared for activity. Add this with an amazing IRC presence and you have a staple of House Caliburnus ~ Dakari

Revenge serves a very important role in the daily maintenance of House Acclivis Draco: Rollmaster. Whenever a new member joins the Summit can rest assured that this member is leading the charge on welcoming him, providing him a path to higher ranks and finding new members Masters and the old ones Apprentices. And on top of this all he maintains a diligent presence of activity in both Clan (Fiction, Run-on, Envoy) and Brotherhood (ACC CL:3, CFs, Crescents). For the daily grind of work and constant activity, I recommend a Star of Antei on his behalf ~ Dakari

Dakari Palpatine, 2006-04-18 22:00:00 UTC

Today I receive a very special honor of awarding Brijah her first medal. She is the pinnacle of dedication in the Brotherhood -- she has slowly worked her way toward the completion of 11 Shadow Academy Courses and it is with great joy I can say she finally made it. For this great feat, I recommend we recognize her efforts with a Dark Cross. Because in addition to simple SA exams, she provides a great morale boost on IRC and continually offers feedback (positive and negative) to our leadership that is greatly appreciated. In addition, she has accepted her first Master and begun work on attaining Guardian. ~ Dakari

Awarded after recommendation from DJM Sarin and Clan Plagueis:

The Ruby Scepter is the sign of a scholar in the Dark Side and its lore. It is awarded for achievement and/or contributions in the area of instruction, invention, and mentorship to one's Clan or Order. I can think of no one who is more worthy and deserving of this award than Dark Adept Jonaleth Isradia. Jonaleth is the Ultimate example of what a Master should be in the Dark Brotherhood. He is universally respected by his peers and more importantly by those he has mentored from Journeymen to Equite. Over the course of the past several years Jonaleth has mentored no less than six individuals into the Equite Class. His knowledge and training of these members have benefitted the entire Dark Brotherhood.

In addition to the training and mentoring of several members of Clan Plagueis, Jonaleth has also contributed to the area of invention and instuction by creating an enormous volume of work titled The Lore of Plagueis. This volume of work totals in at 20 pages of 10 font verdana and serves as a fictional drop for all that is Clan Plagueis. The Lore of Plagueis includes the History of the Clan, The Creation of the Clan's Force Powers, The Creation of the Clan's Elder Council of the Wise, the Clan's promotion guidelines, the Clan's Dark Jedi Knight Trials, The Clan's Force Powers, and the Clan's possessions. This body of work can only be summed up with the word, amazing.

On a personal note, I believe Jonaleth deserves this award because he truly is the Loremaster of Plagueis, Exar Kun, and the clan that preceeded that (you know, the evil one we dropped at Exodus). Jonaleth has kept meticulous records of the past of all of these Clans and has played a crucial part in allowing me to rebuild and create the history of Clan Plagueis. The rebuilding phase of Plagueis is now complete with Jonaleth's Lore of Plagueis and the Clan, the Dark Brotherhood, and I all owe him a debt of gratitude. - Dark Jedi Master Aristan "Sarin" Dantes

Words can hardly deliver the true meaning of DA Jonaleth Isradia's contributions and commitment to Clan Plagueis. His devotion to ensuring the growth and spread of knowledge within the Clan is unparalleled anywhere else in the Dark Brotherhood. His exhausting work on the creation of the Council of the Wise, organizing the artifacts and other objects in possession of Clan Plagueis, assistance in building the Clan History, involvement in the development of the "di Plagia" honors, and major work in development of the Clan Plagueis Powers can only begin to define the contributions of this outstanding Dark Jedi withiin Clan Plagueis. Without his commitment and energy Clan Plagueis would not have managed to evolve these fine projects and assets as fast as they have come to reality. As Proconsul of Plagueis I am consistently amazed by the leadership qualities that Jonaleth exhibits at all times. Over time Jonaleth and I have forged a bond of friendship, and through that bond I have discovered an individual that holds the true values of what it means to be a Dark Jedi and mentor close to his heart, while also serving as a severe reminder of what can happen to those that prove disloyal to Clan Plagueis. His wrath is only tempered by his generosity and loyalty to those that humbly serve within Clan Plagueis. On behalf of the members of Clan Plagueis I humbly request that DA Jonaleth Isradia be awarded the Ruby Scepter for his exceptional and tireless efforts and work in the many projects and mentoring he has unselfishly undertaken during these past months while the Clan itself underwent a major leadership change and restructuring. Jonaleth is indeed a rare breed among a sea of Dark Jedi. - SBM Salth Khan, Proconsul of Clan Plagueis

When I joined the Brotherhood, I was greeted by Jonaleth and was struck by the wealth of knowledge that he possessed. Since then, he has always been one to turn to when you needed help with a competition entry or guidance in your trials. Having been a student of his, I have valued his opinion and his judgement. He tirelessly lends his service to those who ask of it and strives to make each person better than they were before. His recent service to Clan Plagueis as Loremaster has demonstrated unrelenting service from this scholarly man. Congrats Master Isradia. - Priest Cipher K'oranian Isradia
