Has it been two weeks since Drae'lath's last promotion already?

Since becoming JM1 Drae has really hit his stride and is quickly becoming a mainstay of Naga Sadow's ranks. I am happy to say that getting him to eligibility for JM2 was a walk in the park. To become eligible, Drae has joined us as a regular in Telegram, he's written at least 750 words of fiction (in an excellent collaboration with Tasha), his wiki is quickly becoming one of my favorite conceptual character histories, he's crushed it in the SA and reached society level 2, he's got an approved character sheet, and brought in 11 Clusters of Fire.

Congratulations on JM2, Drae'lath. You've made me proud to be your Master. Keep it up.

Since transferring to COU in July Zoron has made a name for himself through his gaming and puzzle prowess and active participation in the COU social community. His impact extends far beyond COU however, and he has proven himself more than worthy of the pinnacle Equite rank.

As an individual member Zoron has participated in 166 competitions (with an additional 30 container competitions) taking home crescents in an impressive 84 of them. He is a strong gamer with 594 Clusters of Fire, 508 Clusters of Earth and 9 Pendants of Blood. He’s even gotten out of his comfort zone to support some fiction and art competitions with one Cluster of Ice and two Clusters of Graphite. He also received two Scrolls of Indoctrination for recruiting two members to the Brotherhood.

As a leader he was awarded a Grand Cross for his activity and contributions as Clan Taldryan’s Proconsul and a Steel Cross for his work as an Appeals Panelist and extensive revisions to the new covenant which benefited every single member of the Brotherhood. Since his last promotion Zoron was also selected twice to receive the prestigious Seal of Loyalty.

Kenath Zoron has had an impact on two clans through his activity and leader and on the Brotherhood as a whole through his work for the Chamber of Justice. His elevation to the highest Equite rank is beyond justified. Congratulations Z and it’s my supreme honor to get to be the one to put this in.

Councillor Turel Sorenn, 2017-09-22 16:26:54 UTC

Oh Zoron. You were a fantastic Proconsul, and you were absolutely essential to Taldryan not totally falling apart when I had to disappear for a month and a half in 2016. You kept the clan abreast and interested in activities, as well as the goings on in the Brotherhood - which included posting a number of reports and hosting a number of Clan-wide and Brotherhood wide competitions. All of these were drivers in the health of Taldryan last year.

In spite of you now being a dirty lightie now, you've continued to kick ass as a member of the Brotherhood, hosting many a competition in your post-proconsul time, and being the guy that continually wins my MAA puzzle competitions (unless Malik remembers to compete :P).

Zoron's status as a member of the Brotherhood is self evidence from his dossier, and it's my pleasure to recommend him for promotion to Warden.

Since his return to activity, Nobilus has proven himself to be one of Taldryan's most valuable members through his effort in participation. He has more than proven himself ready for his promotion to Equite 1.

Since being promoted to Knight, Nobilus has participated in 45 competitions, earning 13 crescents and 1 gold Nova. He has earned 1 Dark Cross, 1 Seal of Loyalty, and 8 Seals of Revelation. He has also passed 3 courses in the Shadow Academy.

Nobilus's strongest attribute is his gaming. Participating in 145 PVP matches has earned him 1,569 Clusters of Fire, and 13 Pendants of Blood! He has also taken the time to train several members, including myself, in the game Jedi Academy.

Recently Nobilus has been doing work for the Summit in Tal's wiki. He has created several images for Tal's fictional military, and is working on serveral more. Deciding to take on the challenge of Tal's wiki has shown me that Nobilus is willing, and wanting, to improve Taldryan in any way he is able.

For all of these reasons I want to congratulate Nobilus on his promotion, and I look forward to seeing what he does in the future!

Dr. Ben, 2017-09-22 03:38:04 UTC

Nobilus's awarded activity speaks for itself, but I'm giving my recommendation for promotion based on his work behind the scenes. He took the reigns on the re-designed military and ran with it, creating new graphics and logos for the different branches of Taldryan's military, updating the wiki along side it, all the while doing it while dealing with a very demanding Proconsul.

I am absolutely thrilled to recommend that Nobilus join the ranks of the Equites!

Congratulations my friend! Well deserved.

Master Alaris Jinn, 2017-09-20 00:30:05 UTC

Nobilus is easily one of the most active Knights that I have ever seen. Rhylance already went into detail with the numbers, but the impact that he has had on Taldryan's gaming community cannot be underestimated. Not only that, but he has shown impressive growth as a member, expanding his skills in graphical work and even writing.

Welcome to the Equites, my old apprentice!
