In the April 2005 issue of the Dark Voice, Alanna was honored for her continued service as Krath High Priestess. Alanna had just recently stepped down from the position after serving there for years. The club was devastated by the loss of her leadership; alanna has always been a careful yet decisive, kind yet envigorating, fun yet dutiful leader. She is a person that has helped make this club great, and all we can do is say thank you with this Silver Sash. Alanna has been added to the Hall of immortals for her work in the club. She is dearly missed on the DC. - Jac
The following is the text of the article honoring Alanna:
"ANTEI: The Dark Council, Clan Summits and distinguished Brotherhood members were summoned yesterday to the edge of the Shadowlands. There, south of the Dark Hall, is located the magnificent structure that was built to honor the heroes and legends of the Brotherhood. Called the Hall of Immortals, the structure holds within a tribute to the greatest of Dark Jedi. Fortunately, the Dark Voice Staff was able to obtain leave to attend the event that Lord Cotelin presided over.
"It was truly a great honor to be in attendance. She really deserves it," commented Satal Keto Consul, Selket." Alanna has been arguably the greatest leader of the Krath Order in the history of the Brotherhood, save Tiamat herself. It was an honor to serve in her time."
The event that Selket referred to was the induction of Dark Jedi Master Alanna into the Hall of Immortals. The decision to induct Alanna was made long ago, according to Dark Council sources who wish to remain unnamed. Lord Cotelin is rumored to have had the Hall of Immortals closed for the new addition during the recent Krath War. He contracted with Headmaster Spears Tarentae to have a new statue built specifically for the former Krath High Priestess. Spears supposedly had the statue carved with a more feminine figure than the previous version.
During the ceremony, Lord Cotelin spoke of the different deeds associated with Alanna since she had been a member. He emphasized more the nature of her personality and the great attributes that she brought with her to every challenge. "Of the greatest virtues, Lady Alanna has them all. Bold yet receptive, unwavering yet understanding, kind yet true to herself. Our Lady has shown herself to be the greatest in all that she has done. She has shown us that although we ourselves do not always see eye to eye, that does not prevent us from helping one another." Lord Cotelin spoke for some twenty minutes about the induction.
"From a personal note, I have known Alanna since the beginning of my days in Taldryan. Just as she has done with everything she has encountered, Lady Alanna has left her mark on me. I am better just for having known her and worked with her. There is not a single person that I can think of that deserves our recognition more than her. She has fought hard for all of us. An so, from all of us, we today mark her as one of the few immortals. She enters here a hall that honors only the greatest. Lady Alanna, thank you for all that you have done and will continue to do."

To mark the occasion and the culmination of her works, Lord Cotelin also bestowed upon the former High Priestess a Silver Sash.
The Dark Voice Staff would like to recognize Lady Alanna for all that she has done. We have included the following history of the Lady as a tribute to her career in the Brotherhood:
Alanna joined the DB in 1999. Recruited to the Independent House Ektrosis by Jarla, she became QUA of Ektrosis when it clanned into Taldryan. Leading Ektrosis to victory through a GJW and a feud, she only stepped down from the position of leadership in 2001 when real-life final exams claimed her time.
Ektrosis underwent a succession of QUAs, and Alanna was eventually asked back into the role to see the house safely through another GJW. Her intention was to step down after the competition, but then the split came upon the Brotherhood, and Alanna led Ektrosis to join the newly forming DB.
Shortly after the split, Tronsta stepped down as KHP and offered the position to Alanna. Initially hesitant, she took over the role in April 2003, and quickly realized that she had found her niche. The early days of her reign were characterized by a feeling of stability as she sought to continue with the traditional KMT competitions and activities that were familiar to the Krath, despite the relative chaos of the newly formed DB. As the Krath grew in strength and confidence, the office of the KHP began to introduce more variety and some new types of activity for the order an in-character murder mystery, character development competitions, epic fiction competitions, an MML, and finally a Krath RoS. During this period, she was also invited to serve the Brotherhood in the position of the Right Hand of Justice.
Having spent an enjoyable two years in the role of KHP and having seen the Krath order flourish, Alanna decided to step down in April 2005, leaving the office of the KHP in Telona's capable hands. Returning to Ektrosis for a well deserved rest, she is looking forward to assisting her house in upcoming competitions once more. "
