Event History

I have saved this award as one of the last because Pyralis has had a very big influence on me personally. He and I have a working relationship and friendship that are unique in many ways.

Pyralis has perhaps the strongest sense of professionalism that I have ever witnessed int he DB. His work is untouchable by most; the time that he puts into writing, editing and formatting all of his work makes for a truly unique outcome. Over the summer, Pyralis and I have been passing documents back and forth through email and we have developed quite a system. He started with the Proposals course, moved to working on the decrees, and is working on the Alacrity. That is outside of his duties in managing the ICTE -- I'm sure you've all seen the work that he's put into that.

It's hard to explain why Pyr and I work so well together, but I can very well guarantee that without his emails, IRC chats and prodding, there would be a lot less to show for this summer. Pyralis knows how I work and knows where to go with projects. What I like most is his uncanny question: "What's Next?" Every time that something is finished, Pyralis is looking for instructions on the next job. It works perfectly with the way I work as GM, since I finish one thing and then immediately move onto the next item waiting in queue.

As an adviser, Pyralis imparts wise opinions. I think I like it because we agree on a lot, develop the idea, and then give it to others for the different angle. We expound on what the other is thinking. Truly, Pyralis and I have found that we agree on 95% of things.

Pyralis is humble as well. He puts my name on some documents, even though he knows very well that he wrote the majority and I just edited and put in opinions. Pyralis would probably even think he doesn't deserve recognition, but I could not let my flooding of the news page go by without recognizing him.

I think the DB is blessed to have Pyr around -- he is one of the driving members of this club and I hope that we can continue our productivity for a long while. Most of all though, Pyralis is a good friend to all that know him.

For all that he does, I hereby award Pyralis with his very own Diamond Sword.

Congrats, - Lord Jac Cotelin

As written by Kaine:

The membership of the Dark Brotherhood gathered in the Audience Chamber of the Great Hall. The Dark Council were found in their raised seats - while Kaine Mandaala's chair was vacant as usual. A few members glanced to Kaine's spot, hoping to catch the holoprojector flicker itself on. The murmur of casual conversation was suddenly silenced as the doors to the Chamber opened.

A lone hooded figure stood in the doorway. Power radiated throughout the room. He walked slowly to the dias, his heels clicking along the stone floor. Approaching the platform, the figure did not kneel. Jac nodded to him, and the man bowed slightly. He removed his hood and gasps could be heard echoing through the Chamber - Kaine Mandaala had come to Antei!

He took a deep breath and addressed the gathering of Dark Jedi.

"I come before you with a quite serious announcement.

I have just been informed by Mejas that he is going to step down as my Praetor. Much like I am the longest serving DC member, he is by far the longest serving Praetor. He has been at my side since about two months after he was removed as Headmaster by Astatine. It was quite proven that the former DGM had something against Mejas personally and skewed most of the DC against him. I knew there was something wrong with his removal/resignation, stuck by my guns and hired him on as Praetor.

I was right. Even when a majority was against him he prevailed with undying loyalty not only to the Herald office but to the Brotherhood as a whole. He did not hide away after being kicked down - he remained and tried his best to better the club. After some encouragement he was trusted by others to lead again, and eventually appointed to leading Clan Arcona where he had a very successful run of activity.

Sadly, his obligations are taking him from us, but for his constant and consistent loyalty to the Brotherhood I asked that he be awarded with the Diamond Sword. Congratulations Mejas Doto, my friend, for it has been approved.”

Corran Force has been the example of sacrifice for this club. He has paid out of his own pocket for the DB to have a website for the last three years. Without his investment in this club, we would not be here. His help is appreciated more than he could know. - Jac

For his excellent performance as Deputy Grand Master. Jac consistently goes above and beyond what is required of him. He never ceases to surprise me with ideas, his initiative and his talents. On top of all this, he does his best to provide a casual atmosphere in his reports and in mails. This is a very welcome attitude and I'm sure the members appreciate. I don't think anyone is more deserving of a Diamond Sword than he is.

Ciara Tearnan has been loyal to the brotherhood through and through. She has stuck with her clan through the hardst times and has led them flawslessly. The exodus was taxing on Tarentum, yet Ciara pulled them through with courage. Ciara is a dedicated leader that has had consistent service for a very long time. She is active and always helpful, and is definately deserving of this reward!

As for Dark Jedi Master Howlader, the previous Chancellor, I have decided to give him a Diamond Sword for his services as a Dark Council member. As far as I know, he has been the person who stayed the longest in an active Dark Council position.
