A while ago, Tyraal Bitshiver began the journey to Knighthood. I wasn't his Master for all of it, but it has been an absolute pleasure to help him along the way as much as possible. Since his promotion to Padawan, Tyraal Bitshiver has earned a Shadow Academy Degree (Dark Maven Combat), participated in 15 competitions, earned 2 major competition awards, achieved INQ Society Rank 4 and Shadow Academy Rank 4, earned 7 Clusters of Graphite and 14 Clusters of Ice, and spent at least 28 days in rank. In addition, Tyraal Bitshiver has also put forth significant effort towards character development in a Master-Student run on, during which he already put forth 4500 words worth of character fiction. This involved character research, feedback on writing and rewrites, and very real effort of putting together a good story. Great job!!

Lastly, on a more personal note and as his Master, I am so proud of all the work and effort he has put into Knight lately. You've been a great apprentice and I think you've done a wonderful job so far, especially with your tenacity. You've really stuck with this goal, regardless of how winding the road had become. This has really earned my respect the most and this tenacity will be critical to becoming an Equite. That being said, I feel like the luckiest Master right now and I hope that you'll continue to accept my advice even after your Knighthood. I look forward to your bright future in Odan-Urr. tear

As both his Master and Rollmistress, it is my pleasure and honor to recommend that Tyraal Bitshiver be promoted to Knight with all the rights and privileges that come with it. (Someone say shiny new ship?!) Congratulations!!! Free Rancor Tequila's for you!

Today is a great day, the day that Volksven is ready to be promoted to Acolyte.

In addition, he has been an active member on the Brotherhood forums, especially with fellow journeyman.

Unsterblich, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Dark Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed. Your accomplishments include:

• Have been awarded 20 Clusters of Earth (A Cluster of Fire counts as two Clusters of Earth)
• Join Telegram or IRC, and visit Clan Channel
• Pass the Dark Brotherhood Basics Shadow Academy Course

I will continue to watch your progress, Unsterblich, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

May the Force guide you, Journeyman,

Zehsaa Hysh, the newest mother of our wonderful Brotherhood, has proven her true dedication and her compassionate heart time and time again. Since her last promotion, Zehsaa has completed 45 competitions, and has co-organized 4 other competitions. Through these competitions she has earned herself 3 Crescents with a Diamond Star, 5 Crescents with a Ruby Star, 12 Crescents with an Amethyst Star, 7 Crescents with a Sapphire Star, 3 Crescents with an Emerald Star, 2 Crescents with a Topaz Star, and 2 Legions of the Scholar. She also earned herself 15 Clusters of Ice, 61 Clusters of Graphite, and a Seal of Loyalty. She has written 6,303 words of fiction, and has passed two courses in the Shadow Academy. This beloved member of Tacitus Athanasius has also served well as Magistrate to the Herald, and earned herself a Sapphire Blade for nine months of service in that position. On top of all that, Zehsaa Hysh has earned herself her very first Steel Cross, 1 Anteian Cross, and 2 Dark Crosses.

Congratulations, Z! Thank you for all you do for the Brotherhood, the Clan, House, and Battle Team. Your loving friendship and maternal spirit are traits that we Excidiacs do not take lightly. I am honored to recommend you to the rank of Equite 2!

Zehsaa is an exemplary member of the brotherhood and has proven this time and time again every day she's been here since she joined a year and 10 months ago. Since her last promotion she has continued to put out absolute top quality artwork, which is shown in her medal case, 3 diamond crescents since her last promotion (in addition to the 3 she already had). Her placement ratio in brotherhood-wide competitions is extremely high, with her most recent accomplishments including 3 ruby crescents from the brotherhood-wide Art 4 Arx event. In addition to this, Z has contributed to brotherhood art projects via her magistrate role, earning a Sapphire Blade from the Herald for her efforts up to her resignation 5 months ago for contributing 125 images for the Herald's office.

Z is an incredibly talented artist and always happy to give her time to make others happy. People like Z really don't come along very often, and we're so lucky to have her with us, in the clan, and in the brotherhood. Thanks for everything you do for us!

Other leaders have already pointed out all the numbers one could ask for, so let's shine a bit more light on the things which can't be expressed by digits.

Ever since I had the luck to introduce Zehsaa into the DJB and the pleasure of serving as her master, she's been right in the thick of Clan life. Be it doodles and comics, full-blown art, a nice word here and there or sharp wit exactly when you shouldn't take yourself too seriously, Zehsaa provides and has fun while doing it, sharing that fun freely with us and making all our days more enjoyable.

To say she's become a pillar of Scholae Palatinae despite being a simple member would be mastery of understatement.

So I appreciate this chance to see Zehsaa take this next step up the rank ladder. Congratulations, and rock on!

I'm honored to contribute to elevation of our beloved Equite, Zehsaa. Since I have joined the Clan, it has been apparent that she deeply cares about our club and the members it is comprised of. She selflessly served as a Magistrate during one of the largest, most aggressive graphic campaigns of the Brotherhood. Then, despite taking time off to bring a beautiful baby into the world, she continued to serve the members of her Clan by helping host the newest iteration of our Character Development Workshops with Mune. Both the graphics and the growth of characters touch on two fundamental areas of the Brotherhood - both have also been pro-member advancement. That is the true sign of an advancing Equite: not what they take, but that which they give back.

Thank you, so much, Z. I appreciate all of your individual effort and work in helping shape our club. From the detailed graphics, to the genuine insights, and even those cute comics in Clan chat in the morning. You make us better.

Zehsaa has been a productive member of the DB art community for several years now as well as one of the best Magistrates I've had the pleasure to work with. Most of what I have to say about her Herald work was already said when she was awarded her first Sacramental award, however, words still carry meaning and I have a need to express my gratitude to Zehsaa with a very short but meaningful recommendation for her promotion.

Zehsaa's involvement in the art community goes beyond simply sharing art, which she does with every opportunity. She gives valid advice, helps other members improve in their work, draws free drawings for people in the community and always does it for fun or because she feels like doing it, never to gain anything in return. Her dedication is inspiring and her presence makes the Art channel on Telegram a better and more welcoming place. For this, and many other things that make Zehsaa a great artist and an excellent member, I thank her from the bottom of my heart. She is one of the pillars of our community and I congratulate her on her latest promotion.

Xhiss has been a whirlwind of activity since joining, going above and beyond in the Shadow Academy and not only completing the Fundamental courses but achieving a score of 100% in four additional courses allowing him to reach Rank II in the Shadow Academy Society. Xhiss has also participated in seven competitions, placing in two, and receiving a whopping 12 Clusters of Graphite. As of late Xhiss has also become an active member of the Telegram community both within Plagueis and beyond.

Never being one to shy away from asking questions and learning more Xhiss is more than deserving of this promotion and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for him. Congratulations Xhiss.
