Though she describes herself as ‘smol’, there is nothing small about Leeadra’s presence within Arcona. Lee has proven herself to be a powerhouse, both in activity and in her social presence within the club.

Since her last promotion, Lee has participated in a total of 39 competitions, earning 27 Clusters of Fire, 10 Clusters of Ice, 10 Clusters of Earth, 6 Clusters of Graphite, and 6 Crescents. She demonstrated a persistent level of activity during the war, participating in 8 bins and earning 10 Seals of Wrath. She has also organized 5 competitions, and co-organized 2, since her promotion.

Leeadra served as the inaugural Battleteam Leader for Voidbreaker for 4 months. During that time, she worked with me to co-organize the War Games event between the Voidbreaker and Shadow Gate Battleteams. Her efforts earned her a Dark Cross, as well as recognition as an inspiring and tireless leader.

I would be remiss if I did not mention her social activities within the club. Lee is a constant presence on Telegram, where her pleasant personality and unique sense of humor provides encouragement to her clan mates. She also makes frequent appearances in Hangouts, when she is not starting them herself.

For all of her accomplishments, and for being an awesome blueberry, it is my honor to recommend Lee for promotion to Equite I. Congratulations, Lee! Drinks are on you tonight!

At some point in a young plant's life, it blossoms and produces fruit from its labor. That point has arrived for Leeadra Halcyon. Lee, as we fondly call her, has proven her place in Arcona through competitions, community and more. While others will have touched upon the specifics, I will vouch for her spirit and determination. Lee is one of those individuals you can count on seeing in the Brotherhood Telegram chats. The Blueberry is friendly, approachable and open, swearing her bark is worse than her bite. Often she aids and encourages others in their prospects, while venturing out on her own. She’s currently running a Sithmas competition, And what would YOU like for Sithmas this year?, to the entirety of the club. An interest to give prompts to our community is something we encourage and are glad to see. Keep at it, Lee!

Leeadra had stepped up and tackled the Great Jedi War. This fruit ninja was fresh to an event of this magnitude, yet she still pounded out eight bins, even completely participating in the Phase I Miscellaneous bin! Her tenacity and creativity surpasses what we ever hope for from a member. More importantly, Leeadra has worked to become more than just a teammate or a clan mate but a friend to those she interacts with.

It is my great pleasure to see Leeadra Halcyon promoted to Equite I. Congratulations, Mystic! May the star light stay lit upon your leaves.

Leeadra has been a constant, unwavering presence since she joined Arcona. In that time, I've gotten to interact with her on many occasions, and I am always grateful that she chose the Shadow Clan. She is driven, tenacious and fierce, and this shows through in both her activity and her interactions with those around her.

As Battleteam Leader of Voidbreaker, she proved herself to be a natural leader, easily bonding with her newly-formed team and spurring them to develop their characters, their new environments, and the team itself. She commanded the team's maiden voyage, and its continuing success - even after she stepped down - is a testament to the passion she poured into its creation.

Beyond her abilities as a leader, and the goodwill and enthusiasm she inspires in others, she is also a fierce competitor in her own right. Since her elevation to Knight, she has participated in dozens of competitions, and (co)-organized over half a dozen of her own. She has garnered two Dark Crosses for her service, numerous Crescents, and a fair few Clusters as well. During the this past Great Jedi War, she completed ten events across eight bins, helping secure second place for Clan Arcona.

Leeadra, for everything you've done, for the constant time and effort you've given your Clan, it is my honor to recommend you be elevated to the ranks of the Equites. I can't wait to see what you do next.

leocadio has been a valuable asset in House Satele Shan for some time. Even during the war when he was busy in RL, he made time to stay in contact and participate when he could in 5 different GJW events which helped lead Odan Urr to its victory. Since his last promotion he has participated in 51 competitions, earned 2 Shadow Academy degrees, 2 Antenian Crosses, 10 crescents giving him a 1:5 ratio per competition submitted and winning a crescent, 510 Clusters of Fire, 241 Clusters of Earth, and even dusting off his artistic skills with 4 Clusters of Graphite.

Crossing the line from Knight is a great achievement and leocadio you have earned this in your continuous service. Congrats brother!

Maximus Alvinius, 2017-12-08 18:24:53 UTC

leocardio, the man the myth the beard!

You sir are a amazing friend and one of the most interesting people I know. I have known you for a few years now your drive, passion and wealth of knowledge is amazing. When your time allows you activity goes through the roof. You are always willing to join us in earning clusters on the PS4 or the PC, your passion for programming help your earned your Dark Savant in programming as well.

You have become an integral part of House Shan and someone both your leaders and I can rely on when it comes to the big events. You did everything you could to join in on the war effort and for thank we are eternally grateful.

So I guess this is the time where I say I support you for your promotion but let’s be real I’m only here to promote that beard of yours, it’s EPIC!

Seriously thought I am proud of you and Welcome to the Equite ranks!

Congratulations leo!

leocadio has been an excellent member of House Satele Shan and I have to say a good friend. We first joined around the same time and played I don't know how many hours of Star Conflict we played together, you shouting "High Ho Silver Awaaaaaay" every time you would jump to a beacon. I was sad as time went on that you were not able to keep up the activity level you started out with, but real life always comes first. Though you did keep in touch semi-regularly and eventually you returned as a presence in gaming.

Before the war, you entered joined the Dark Savant in Programming, which is something you not only like to do, but seem especially talented with it.

As your Aedile and friend, I look forward to watching you continue to rise through the Brotherhood. Enjoy your success leo, you definitely deserve to...that and a nice pizza.

Colonel Len Iode, 2017-12-06 17:13:57 UTC

Talis is a dedicated member of Odan-Urr who was a valuable part of the Clan recent earning the title of first Clan of the DJB for the GJW. He had an active presence by competiting in 7 GJW competitions and securing placement points towards the Clan's success. In addition to this he has participated in 39 competitions, to include 5 ACC battles and many other fiction events where he earned a massive 47 Clusters of Ice! Through this time he also earned 2 Dark Crosses, 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 6 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 2 Crescent with Emerald Star, and 2 Crescent with Topaz Star allowing him to earn a Crscent on average for every 3 competitions he participates in! He hasn't shyed away from gaming, or his art abilities where he gained 10 Clusters of Earth, and 4 Clusters of Graphite. In the Shadow Academy he went to work passing 10 courses and earning 2 degrees in the process. Lastly his loyatly to the club has been proven over time where he earned 1 Seal of Loyalty.

These numbers are quite amazing for a JM4 crossing into the next chapter of their career. I'm excited for the future and cannot wait to see where Talis goes in the DJB. Congrats brother!

Maximus Alvinius, 2017-12-08 18:25:29 UTC

Talis assisted Odan-Urr during the Jedi Praxeum project, helping his Clan define a key part of its lineage: the training of Jedi. He played a crucial part in the completion of the Trials section and School Curriculum, both of which were important parts of the Jedi Praxeum effort. First, he helped create the Trials section along with a partner. It would inform the School Curriculum itself, a key section. Second, he used his existing knowledge on the Trials, along with some guidance, to write a rough draft of the School Curriculum. These efforts allowed the team to spread out the work effectively, a document that had a lot of sections to complete.

In summary, his work on this project and his unique viewpoints were greatly appreciated on this project, resulting in the creation of a great Jedi Praxeum wiki page. He did a good job and was a good teammate, helping me push things forward during a time on the project where things were starting to stall on some of the sections. His volunteered time and effort helped make an excellent product. It is my pleasure to recommend that Talis DeMorte join the Equites.

Congratz!!!

As long as I have known Talis, he has been one of the most dedicated members of House Satele Shan. He hypes things like no other House member, outside of the Summit. Talis is always willing to volunteer and what he sets his mind to, he completes. Whether it's writing a very good application for Battle Team Leader, or working on Clan Wiki pages Talis is there offering his support and giving his all.

When he isn't volunteering, he is giving it all in all sorts of comps. As Maximus said in the primary recommendation he has earned 47 CIs which is a very impressive number!

It is my pleasure to recommend Talis DeMorte for his promotion to EQ1! You have earned this my friend, keep up the good work!

Colonel Len Iode, 2017-12-08 18:01:14 UTC

Len Iode, my right hand man, my fiction confidant, my new found online friend. Many times I've heard about the DC's talks to scrapping the Aedile positions in the future and when I stop and think about that I know I would be at a loss. Running a house and espcially Shan takes more time than most know. Between the chats to bounce ideas off each other, to forming events, proofing, writing 2 hour long fiction reports monthly, pouring over excel sheets to track member rewards and promos, it is a task that still consumes much of my time and that is with your help that never has missed a beat. I for one could not imagine running Satele Shan as well as we have without having you as my main man.

Promotion to EQ3 is where many hit a leadership barrier before elevation and it's also one where a member must go from being a consumer to a producer with leadership impact. I my friend can say you have nailed it on the head. Since your last promotion you have held a 2 month stink as BTL, and a collective 6 months as Aedile. In addition you went on to lead by example participating in 69 competitions, and hit all, but one bin in the GJW netting you 3 Silver Novae for your efforts.

In raw numbers he has earned 1 Steel Cross for his efforts in leadership to the House, 3 Silver Nova for his outstanding submissions during the most recent GJW, 4 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 3 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 2 Crescent with Emerald Star, and 1 Crescent with Topaz Star for various placements in those 69 competitions. In the gaming realm he has netted 1 Pendant of Blood, 124 Cluster of Fire, and 154 Clusters of Earth. As one of the great fiction writers who even placed 8th in Phase II of the GJW he continued to write in various competitions helping him earn 31 Cluster of Ice. Lastly not shying away from art he was able to earn 13 Cluster of Graphite. He even managed to find time to take and pass 3 Shadow Academy courses furthering his knowledge and all of these amazing numbers since his last promotion!

Len I am truly proud of all your efforts. You have proven to lead by example, and I'm glad to have you as a friend. This promotion is for all your work you have put into molding our House who helped our Clan secure a 1st Clan finish. Drinks are on you brother!

Maximus Alvinius, 2017-12-08 13:31:36 UTC

So my dear friend the time has come for you to be promoted in rank and I am very happy and eager to lend my support for your elevation. Len you are an awesome member, friend, writer and most of all a one of the best leaders we have in Odan-Urr right now. Even though I was your master over the course of the few years we have known each other it was you teaching me things more than I being able to teach you.

You have a great vision, scope and desire to improve the quality of life not only for the members in your unit but for the entire clan. I was honored to work with you on our Silver award winning Comic entry in the GJW XII, and it is always a pleasure to write along side you.

You have overcome many struggles both in Real Life and in the club to just bounce back with the spirit and the vigor we all know you to have. You have completely taken our member first attitude and applied it well in everything you do for House Shan. I know you can go far in this club and it will be awesome to watch you attain everything you set your mind to.

So my friend this is more than an Honor to support your promotion to Equite 3 and I'm very proud of you!

Congratulations Len!

Edgar Drachen Quaestor of House House

Ghost Edgar Drachen, 2017-12-06 15:03:23 UTC

Len Iode, my reliable and awesome friend, you've been a great teammate and friend to me for the last year or so. Whenever I think of who to join my Battleplan and Runon teams, both of which require a great deal of effort and team coordination, I immediately think of you. (Everyone else get your hands off him!) Here are a few reasons just to make you blush. First, you are always been available to type up battleplan sections no matter what hour of the night. Our powwows are awesome and we got so much done. This effort earned a silver nova! Second, you are a great teammate, patient and understanding but also willing to grab something and finish it. I firmly believe you have saved a few scary runon moments by taking lead on posts and executing wonderfully even if uncertain. This was particularly true during the GJW runon, during which we placed second! Third, your sense of humor is a great addition to the team's mood and our creative juices, helping ensure we have a bunch of fun in the process.

A lot of these skills transfer over to his duties as Aedile as well. He uses these abilities to help Odan-Urr be the best it can be and help others, whether his team is a Battleplan, Runon, or Satele Shan. As his teammate on the Clan Summit and his friend, I believe that Len Iode is more than deserving of this promotion and shown time and again his worth to Odan-Urr family.

Congratulations and great work!!!! Zeltron hugs

Len is the unsung hero of Odan-Urr. Aedile and Battleteam Leader are not glamorous, sexy positions, and it’s all too easy to overlook how much these leaders contribute to the health of their units. Aside from a brief hiatus to tend to his RL career and family, Len has been an integral part of Satele Shan since before his promotion at the beginning of the year. A good leader is never limited to the bare minimum of their job description. While Len was Garza’s BTL, he provided all of the counsel, planning, and leadership that I would expect from an Aedile. As Aedile under me, then Moro, and now Maximus, Len has served as a full partner in house leadership. Case in point: as I write this, I have nine award requests from him sitting in my admin pane, in addition to the many others to which he’ll be contributing co-recs.

Even beyond house leadership, Len’s been a steady, mature, and insightful presence on Odan-Urr’s summit for ages now. As I think the breadth of recommendations show, Len has earned the trust and respect of the entire clan’s leadership thanks to his sound judgement and quiet, but steadfast, passion for doing right by his members.

I also have to point out that Len’s engaged in every avenue of activity available to him; he’s earned all four cluster types, fought in the ACC, studied in the Shadow Academy, and participated in all but one bin in the Great Jedi War. He does this not just for his own entertainment, but because he’s serious about supporting competition organizers and setting a good example for his members. In short, he already acts the way we expect of an upper equite.

Congrats, Len. Never change.

As others have detailed Len is a stable, dedicated and hard-working member of the COU summit. His effect on House Shan and the COU as a whole cannot be understated. As Arch so eloquently stated, Len doesn't seek the spotlight, he shows up doing the behind the scenes work to take care of his members and lead them from the front in his own activity.

Thank you for everything you do for House Shan and COU. Congratulations! I have no doubt you'll continue to climb higher and higher in leadership.

This wandering ex-moisture farmer has been secretly slipping into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood like the passive intel gatherer they are. With the Great Jedi War XII having just occurred, Luka has participated in 4 of the competition bins. They even placed in the Machines are Stronger graphic competition, earning them 4 Clusters of Graphite. Luka has tackled the unfamiliar Pazaak realm, netting them 2 Clusters of Fire. For a brand new member, this War activity is certainly an accomplishment worthy of pride.

In the time since their last promotion, Luka had participated in 7 competitions total, including the above war comps. This has granted them 1 Amethyst Crescent, 1 Emerald Crescent, and 1 Topaz Crescent. In addition to these competitions, they have completed 3 Shadow Academy courses. Matching the quiet and observing nature of the character, Luka has slowly but surely been exploring the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. They have participated in their Clan’s and Battleteam’s Telegram chats, and utilized the Brotherhood forums as a means of introducing themselves to the club. They also have an active character sheet and have updated it since their last promotion.

It is with the above activity and the fantastic involvement in the war that I recommend Luka Zarkot for promotion to Acolyte! Congratulations, Luka! May the Force watch over your journey through this plane.

In the short time that has passed since he joined the DB, Grot has quickly established himself as one of Arcona's rising stars. He is always eager to help with any proofing or projects and is a powerhouse of activity, both in competitions and in other areas within the club.

Since his last promotion, Grot has completed a total of 16 competitions and 11 PVP matches. During the war, he submitted to every bin, and even earned a Gold Nova and a Bronze Nova. He is also chewing his way through the Shadow Academy at an impressive speed. Since his last promotion, he has completed an additional 15 courses and has earned 3 more degrees.

Finally, he has proven himself to be quite helpful with additional Clan activities. He is always willing to help proof for anyone who needs. He also is performing wiki work on the Selen Development project, and has proved himself to be invaluable in that area.

Grot is enthusiastic and tireless in his participation and his hard work and dedication are sincerely appreciated. He is truly a boon for Arcona, and for the DB as well. As such, it is my honor to recommend him for promotion to Professional.

Congratulations, Grot! You are the best murder lizard a Sith could want, and I am looking forward to witnessing your continued meteoric rise!

• Lucine Vasano, Battleteam Leader of Voidbreaker

Terran Koul, 2017-12-07 02:31:00 UTC

Since joining our illustrious membership, Grot has never once ceased to participate. From day one, he has been active in the community, both Arconan and beyond, and already Grot has forged bonds both fictional and real with our membership, displaying a helpful and open attitude towards all our members. Having joined just prior to the GJW XII, he gave amazing service during the conflict, outperforming many veteran members and shining as a beacon of exemplar participation in category after category. Even prior to the War, and most astonishingly during it, Grot has also savaged the Shadow Academy and the mental image of our brave Trandoshan hunter devouring scrolls and slaying exams has not once ceased to amuse me. Rare have been the days when I have not had my inbox spammed by half-a-dozen SA courses completed by him.

Beyond all of this, Grot has taken up many projects that others might find boring or uninspiring, warming my heart personally by his vigor and drive in cleaning up the Arconan Wiki and finding true enjoyment in that most noble of callings, military logistics. In these ventures, as in almost all things he undertakes, he displays a keen mind and creative drive which I know will carry him far in the future.

My only regret is that your rise to this rank was so quick that I never had a good time to write a proper co-authored fiction, but I’m certain there will be opportunities aplenty to net Grot some more points in the future. Thank you for your service so far, Grot, and once again, welcome to the Clan! Arcona Invicta!

• Tali Sroka, Master

Aedile Tali Sroka, 2017-12-07 02:29:30 UTC

Grot the lizardman is on the hunt and his prey? The Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This challenge seeker has gnawed through each and every task thrown his way, quicker than his handlers can feed him. All fun Trandoshan analogies aside, Grot really has been building a name for himself. He heavily participates in the Shadow Academy, it is rare to not see several courses passing through my email regarding his studies. I would be surprised if there was anything he hadn’t done yet. When the Academy doesn’t scratch his itch, Grot turns to competitions. It doesn’t matter what particular types they are either, fiction, graphic, flash game, etc. Yet, SA and competition activity pales in comparison to his drive and willingness to both propose and work on projects for his clan. From militia proposals to wiki work, Grot has presented to us what we strive to encourage in all members. It is refreshing to see Grot’s collaborative works with other members, having helped spur one a many fiction idea or character development with his fellow teammates.

If all of that was not impressive, certainly the fact that this individual, who had wandered into our part of the galaxy only two months ago, had completed every single competition bin there was to be wrought in the GJW XII! It was through his hard efforts that he had scored both a Gold and a Bronze Novae, a feat rarely heard of from such new blood!

It is with great pleasure to see you rightfully promoted to Journeyman IV. Congratulations, Grot! You have earned it thricefold! I look forward to what you bring to Arcona and the Brotherhood. The stars are your playground, Scales.

Consul Diyrian "Diy" Grivna, 2017-12-07 02:30:22 UTC

Grot has made quite the name for himself since he joined the Brotherhood two months ago. He rose to Yeoman in little over a month, and his effort and drive have yet to falter. In the last month alone, he has participated in 19 competitions, earning multiple Crescents and even two Novae during the War. He was also awarded a Steel Cross, both for his competitive nature and for his efforts to improve Arcona's Wiki presence. He's written nearly 9,000 words of fiction in that time, not including his wiki submissions, and passed fifteen courses. Needless to say, he's a powerhouse of activity.

In addition to his quantifiable contributions, he is a persistent presence and Telegram, regularly developing ideas for storylines, projects, and other ways he can improve his Battleteam, House and Clan.

In short, he is a joy to have in Arcona, a member with the drive, the enthusiasm, and the talent to excel. Though his journey as a Journeyman is concluding, I have no doubt that his greater contributions to the Clan and the Brotherhood as a whole have just begun.

Grot, it is with a great deal of pride and pleasure that I hereby recommend you for elevation to the rank of Professional. Congratulations!

Warlord Farrin Xies
Headmaster

Adept Farrin Xies Tarentae, 2017-12-07 03:51:35 UTC

It has been over a year since Evelynn Wyrm joined the ranks of our club's Battlemasters in August of 2016 and yet he has not been lounging about in that time. Some are content to game on in Diablo 3, Pazaak, Heroes of the Storm, Destiny 2, Starcraft 2, Overwatch and Pazaak. Rather than that, Evelynn worked hard as an Aedile to make his House more competitive over two months, before taking the seat of Quaestor of Shar Dakhan for another 5 months. He also worked as a Magistrate under the office of the Fist for 3 months, showing his desire to help improve the experiences of his fellow club as well as Clan members. Evelynn worked to provide members opportunities to take part in various activities and I can honestly look at House Shar Dakhan today and see his fingerprints. The House has remained competitive, and he has remained more than willing to offer advice as he feels it is needed to help strengthen our unit.

One part of leadership is to lead from the front. I don't think it can be argued that Evelynn has failed to do that. Since last promotion, he has participated in 181 competitions, organized 15 competitions of his own and helped out others with running another 12. He has remained a solid gaming presence in the Clan- a natural area of strength for him- through a healthy dose of Player versus Player and Player versus Environment activities. Remember those platforms that I listed above? Evelynn has PVP'd in Jedi Academy, Force Arena, Pazaak, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 and Overwatch. The really cool part of those 78 PvP matches? His experience in Jedi Academy served him well in the 12th Great Jedi War.

His PVE activities and dedication in Heroes of the Storm, Destiny 2 and Diablo 3 in particular also proved helpful in the War. He managed to take 3rd in the 1v1 Jedi Academy Tournament, 5th as part of a team in the Heroes of the Storm 2v2 Tournament, and snagging a tight 1st place in the Diablo 3 Greater Rift Solo Run competition. All that PVE activity adds up to 242 bits. That is a lot of Rift running, a lot of matches vs bots in HOTS and a healthy chunk of Destiny 2.

Now, despite his taste for gaming, Evelynn is again not only a gamer. He has also taken and passed 7 courses, completed 2 ACC battles, and participated in 10 fiction activities. Those 10 activities include six RO posts over which he wrote 2439 words and another 1667 besides. He also scored six Legions of the Scholar between taking part in Telegram trivia, hosting Telegram trivia and placing in event-related trivia competitions. He also wrote 6 news posts during his stints as Aedile and Quaestor, keeping our members in the know and going to lengths to ensure they remained motivated. During this time he worked to try to make the concept of the more competitive Disciples of Dakhan battle team more viable. It is a testament to his work that the current Quaestor has continued the operation of the Disciples to this day.

That isn't to say his work has went unrecognized. Evelynn received a Grand Cross, a Steel Cross and an Anteian Cross for activity and on the first two awards, his demonstration of commitment to the unit. Since joining the Equite 2, he has farmed in Clusters of Fire (2428!), Clusters of Earth (1911!) Pendants of Blood (24!) and Clusters of Ice (10) through hard work. He doesn't just like to play hard though. In more than gaming, Evelynn likes to win. He has shown this in the 78 awards he has roped up for competitions. That is right, I said 78 awards. This spans from measly 1 Crescent with Quartz Star, to 4 Crescents with Emerald Star, to 15 Crescents with Sapphire Star, to 24 Crescents with Amethyst Star and 25 Crescents with Ruby Star. Now, that isn't all but I do want to point out how this is a bit significant. The more serious the competition, the more than he has stepped up. That and it gets a little harder for the eye to track as I rattle off numbers. I didn't want to diminish the impressive nature of the next bit. The 7 Crescents with Diamond Star are nothing to sneeze at but his crowning moment of awesome is how Evelynn earned a Bronze and Gold Nova in the recent War! Not bad given the 17 of a 28 possible comps he took part in during GJW XII.

At this point, I could reiterate how hard he works, how dedicated he has been, or throw off some line about leadership that sounds like it came from a bad movie. I think I will pass on that. Really, all of his work seems to largely speak for itself. It has been a rewarding experience working with Evelynn, I love seeing the care he has shown for what they he takes part in. I also love the fact that even as he stepped down from a position he never stepped completely away. That care for what happened in Naga Sadow did not stop. So I think it is proper time that we recognize that care and hard work. I hereby recommend that Battlemaster Evelynn Wyrm be promoted to the esteemed rank of our 3rd grade Equites. Congratulations, Battlelord. I look forward to seeing what more you will accomplish as a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. I also really hope that you will be chilling, fighting and gaming alongside us for some time to come.

You know, like until the world ends or we all become old and senile or something.

Bentre Kairn'tel Stahoes Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow

Master Bentre Stahoes, 2017-12-05 15:46:56 UTC

Evelynn has gone above and beyond on every occasion that I've asked him. He's led from the front in every event. He's supported and encouraged his fellow members and has mentored many of them in gaming. He took the time out to coach me in Heroes of the Storm and Diablo 3. Several evenings spent gaming and pointing out where I went wrong ans how I can improve. I've not been the only person Evelynn has coached or helped gain Paragon levels in Diablo 3, in order to be able to run Rifts and earn clusters. Evelynn has been a positive influence in Naga Sadow and has helped the Clan re-find its feet when it comes to gaming. For his hard work over these past 13 months have given us ample reason to see Naga Sadow come fourth in the Great Jedi War and come within a hairs' length of taking third.

Combine this with his leadership and activity, mentoring Aul Celsus, Jurdan Krennel and Lilith, Evelynn left HSD in a strong position. Evelynn has had a lot of say in the Clan and I've listened to his ideas a lot, even if we may not have always seen eye to eye, I could rely on Evelynn to speak his mind and he had several excellent ideas of his own that he was able to implement.

The creation of the Disciples of Dakhan and the growth under Aul has seen them become a positive change that Evelynn enacted to counteract a sense of inactivity and malaise that had affected HSD and CNS.

Thank you for all of your hard work, Evelynn.

Congratulations on reaching the rank of Battlelord!

Professor Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar, 2017-12-04 19:35:24 UTC

Well it's kind of hard to follow all of this up. You have seen the numbers and the intangibles that have helped Evelynn lead HSD into a new future now under Aul and myself. The ideas we have had together have been good and not so good but one thing is for sure, there are never a lack of ideas on what to do. Gamer, writer, friend, colleague, Evelynn gave me my first shot at Aedile when no one else wanted me around, not even members of CNS. I am proud to have served with Evelynn and I continue to proudly serve under Aul. Great job with all of your hard work over this past year and keep it up into the future!

What is there left to say about Aexod/Evelynn/Doc Serbia? He is an outstanding member of Naga Sadow and Shar Dakhan, and lives his legacy every day. I can think of no better example of a member who has lead by example on a consistently impressive level. I won't go into the minutiae of what he has accomplished because that was thoroughly covered by others in this recommendation. I will simply say that I am appreciative for the groundwork that Aex laid down ahead of my taking the helm of HSD, but am even more appreciative of his desire to continue to excel from the ranks of the membership. This promotion is very well deserved. Congratulations, Aex.

In looking at Blackhawk’s recent activity, he’s participated in seven events for GJW XII, in addition to (since his last promotion: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/14299/assessment/promotion) organizing or co-organzing 11 events, participating in a total of 58 events, earning 225 total medals with a Steel Cross high, and generally being one of our most involved members. Blackhawk has served in either a Team lead or Aedile position for a total of five months, and is just waiting for another opportunity to show some time in leadership. He is constantly active in our Telegram channel, and helps to present a very welcoming, active culture with conversation and friendship. He has exhibited himself to be incredibly dedicated, and always ready to serve Tarentum’s cause.

I would suggest that Blackhawk has more than shown himself to be a dedicated member and leader, and is ready for that advancement into the Equite ranks. He has passed three courses in the Shadow Academy, showing his commitment to further Club-based training. He has written more than 2,000 words of fiction in his time of Knighthood, as well as playing various matches in gaming activities. While there is still much to learn for Blackhawk, again, he is more than ready to be elevated to Warrior.

Congratulations, Blackhawk!

Dolash (now Ahab, recent name change) has been in Tarentum for just around ten months now. He was last elevated about seven years ago, and last given an Antei Cross about six months ago. In his service to Tarentum, I can attest that his is invaluable as a leading member, whether in a position or not. He is a veteran member of the Club who can (and has) mentor in a Team, mentor is a peer, and is ready to serve wherever Tarentum needs him. We discuss his future prospects regularly, and he has never stopped letting me know that he is ready for the call to leadership, or to serve at any level.

Since his last promotion, he most-recently served as Team lead of the Viata for about five months, but also served as a Magistrate to the Seneschal for over a year. He has organized foru events, and participated in a total of 80 events, with his most recent being eleven events for the GJW (which I think is actually a tie for most-in-Clan with Ranarr). He has played in over 50 matches of either gaming or ACC competition, written close to 3,700 words of fiction, passed 15 Shadow Academy courses and earned three degrees, gained 305 medals with an Anteian Cross high, and has continued to be a cheerleader for Tarentum.

Whether Dolash, or Ahab, Martumal, Voden or otherwise, he is known to me as one of those members in Tarentum I cannot overlook, because he simply wouldn’t let me if I tried. He is on Telegram every day, he is an example to others, and even to myself. I am grateful to have him, and I hope he feels fulfilled and appreciated within Tarentum.

Truly, you have my gratitude, Ahab.
