Hyle Alihandross, 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 an approved character sheet on record
• Join Telegram or IRC, and visit Clan Channel
• Participate in 3 competitions
• Pass the Dark Brotherhood Basics Shadow Academy Course

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

There is so much I can say about Celevon, I honestly wish I was more like him. He's dedicated to his members and the duties of whatever position he holds. He's the type to burn the proverbial midnight oil doing the very unsexy work behind the scenes and outside the limelight to help take care of his people and keep things running smoothly. He's exceptionally dependable as a member, leader, staff member and friend. He does all this without any expectation of reward or recognition, in fact he's probably going to get annoyed at me gushing about how great he is.

Others will attest to the work he has done in Arcona and on the Shadow Academy staff but I can say he has already started making an impact on House Hoth and COU since joining us. He was hired in the middle of the Desperate Measures coop event with Clan Taldyran and dove right in, participating in 10 out of the 16 sub-competitions and placing 4th overall in the event! Since his last promotion he has received a Grand Cross and Steel Cross for his leadership and general activity. He has participated in 131 competitions (with an additional 16 container competitions) winning crescents in 39 of them. He has also collected 57 Clusters of Fire, 319 Clusters of Earth, 7 Clusters of Graphite and an exceptional 134 Clusters of Ice.

As much of a privilege as it is to work with him on the COU summit, it is a far higher honor to call him my friend. Few deserve the elevation to the highest Equite rank more. Congrats my friend, enjoy the spotlight for once.

As others will discuss his numbers and the impact he has had in his previous Clan I will focus on current and immediate impact he has had on House Hoth.

To start I can honestly say that I knew very little about Celevon until he applied to become the Aedile of House Hoth a little over a month ago. I was instantly impressed with his thoughts, his ideas and the foresight to reach out to me before he submitted his application to get a feel for the House and the people within it.

As soon as he was appointed to the position he went instantly to work on reorganizing the House Gdrive and retooling our member tracking system. He is very active within the House TG channels getting to now the members and working with them to improve themselves but the House as a whole as well. Celevon has definitely hit the ground running and has gain my respect with what he has been able to do I such a short time. I'm excited to see where we can take the House from here.

Congratulations on EQ4! It's more than well deserved!

Edgar Drachen, Quaestor of House Hoth

Celevon Edraven is an experience to be had. A bold and unusual statement to be made, but backed by his personality, commitment, helping hand, and more. He is an active presence in Fiction comps and even will suffer his hand, literally, to enter Graphics competitions ran by his units. Cel maintains a supportive role in our community: taking up positions with the Headmaster, heading House Qel-Droma, and currently acting as Aedile for House Hoth. Oh, and there was about four hours of being BTS due to a misunderstanding. However, I mention this goof of mine because it stemmed from one of the things I believe makes Cel such a great member of the DJB, his extended hand and openness to helping other members, especially the new and learning. Celevon was a source of answers to all of the questions I had running through my head, and he became a great support in my own climb into leadership. He continues this spectacular behavior with all new joins.

Cel has no qualms about volunteering for projects. He’s helped greatly with the wiki revamp in Qel-Droma and with building up the recruitment drive that we hope will not only bring in new active members to the House, but future leaders and members to other Clans. Other feats would be his high willingness to collaborate with others, a constant tg presence, his BAMF musical talent, and more.

For all of the above, I recommend Celevon Edraven for promotion to EQ4. It's been a joy working for you and look forward to continue to. I suppose this now makes you the Grey Warden, yes?

Zujenia, Aedile, House Qel-Droma of Clan Arcona

Above, some fantastic folks have touched upon Celevon's invaluable and valiant work within the Clan setting. It is an honour and a privilege to be able to provide a further examination of Celevon's fantastic work within the realm of the Shadow Academy.

During the first few months of my tenure as Praetor to the Headmaster, Cel quickly became an invaluable resource, voice, and friend as a fellow Magistrate. At the time I didn't know it would be his last few months of service, and even now his presence is dearly missed in the realm of the Shadow Academy - and for good reason. During his six month tenure as Magistrate, Celevon stepped up to the plate and graded 33 courses for the Shadow Academy, no small feat for a Magistrate whose position is normally relegated to back-end administrative duties. Furthermore, Celevon was fully invested in numerous projects covering the entire width and breadth of the Shadow Academy, from large-scale projects including the Shadow Academy course audit, to writing numerous thousands of words updating or creating new courses such as Sith Order Core, and the new Galactic History 104: Ascendance of the First Order.

On behalf of the entire Shadow Academy team, thank you for your service, Celevon. This promotion is certainly fitting, though I personally can never thank you enough for the time you spent helping your Praetor get brought up to speed, and making sure your work was top notch.

Celevon, or Cel, is no stranger to hard work, leadership, or mentorship. Really, little can be said here today that hasn't been said before, and that in and of itself is the real testament as to why this promotion has really been earned. It's not just Cel's activity, it's not just that he's always, always been willing to step up and bear burdens wherever and whenever he could, never one to be idle - it's that he's done so time and time again. His service spans all sorts of positions and departments, from one of our stable and steadfast Quaestors and teachers of new Battleteam leaders and members in Arcona, to an assistant in the Shadow Academy, and now to a reprisal of Aedilehood in House Hoth. His skills are numerous, from writing and proofing to drawing and content creating, and he's happiest when he can share and pass on them all. Cel is a constant presence in our brotherhood, and his contributions have not gone unnoticed, and never will.

Thank you for all you've done and congrats.

I do not think it would be an exaggeration to say that I have no idea where Plagueis would be without the contributions of Kelly Mendes. She has been an absolute beast of activity in the last year while also forging herself into an invaluable and irreplaceable part of our Clan Summit. Much of our success, from our performance during the three way event with Tarentum and Arcona to our 400+ entries as a unit over the three week span of The Enemy Below, can be traced back to Kelly's contributions.

Just on the competitive front, Kelly has been hitting every metric possible with gusto and verve. She has participated in 145 competitions and pulled in 18 crescents (5 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 4 Sapphire, and 2 Emerald). She's done a lot of that damage during various Clan wide or multi clan events as well, maintaining a near 100% participation ratio for said events. Kelly has always been a force when it comes to gaming, but the last year has been something special. She has earned six Pendants of Blood, 599 Clusters of Fire, and 356 Clusters of Earth (across 160 PvP matches and 27 PvE activities). Most impressively she has achieved Rank X in the GMRG society and currently sits in 5th place on the quarterly GMRG leader board, the first member of Plagueis to appear on that list in several years. In fiction, she has amassed 39 Clusters of Ice from 4 ACC matches, 20 fiction activities (totalling 10,879 words!), and 1 RO post (an additional 1,389 words). In the Shadow Academy she has passed 6 courses, earned 3 degrees, and (in her capacity as docent and professor) she has graded 92 courses while earning 7 Scrolls of Foundation.

As a leader she has made amazing contributions to our Clan's overall health. First and foremost, she served as master to Obsidian and guided him on the way to Knighthood. Mastering new members through their neophyte and journeymen ranks is the most direct way to make sure our Clan continues to see success in the future, and Kelly made sure to not lose focus on that process while in Clan leadership. That Clan leadership has entailed time as both Aedile and Quaestor of House Ajunta Pall, serving in the positions for three and two months respectively. She did some of her best work during our The Enemy Below event earlier this year, helping lead her team to victory by keeping in personal, individual contact with her team members. She has internalized the Plagueis philosophy that mass email or telegram messaging doesn't produce results, only interactions can really show the members that you value each and every one of them and their contributions. Whether it was one on one telegram conversations or email messages, Kelly made sure to keep in contact with her team. She may have personally finished 6th overall, but her work as a leader during the event was a huge part of her team accounting for 241 of the 409 total entries Plagueis generated over the course of the three week event. Kelly brings that level of dedication to her work as a house leader no matter what, big event or no. She's a constant force on Telegram, both within Plagueis and without (having provided a whole slew of fiction questions for the fiction channel of late), and always striving for the sort of community building activity that the Brotherhood needs to thrive in the future. Outside of Plagueis, she spent the last four months of nearly a year serving the MAA's office and has also spent nearly 13 months serving the Shadow Academy as either Docent or Professor. Kelly's continued excellence has lead to her receiving four merit awards over the last year in the form of three Anteian Crosses and a Grand Cross.

Kelly is the sort of member that any Clan leader loves to have as a part of their unit. She is personally active while also seeing that her leadership can be even more important. She also looks beyond the walls of Plagueis to make the Brotherhood as a whole a better place, which by extension benefits her home clan even more. Kelly, you're a star in Plagueis. It brings me great joy to advance you for promotion to the rank of Equite 3. May it be yet another step along your ascent!

Master Selika Roh di Plagia, 2017-06-25 05:08:41 UTC

Azmodius Equesinfernum has been a major asset to Clan Plagueis ever since his promotion on the first day of 2017. He has spent the better part of the last six months on the Plagueis summit in some capacity, having joined in mid February as our Battleteam Leader and then moved on to Aedile of House Ajunta Pall in April. He has continued to make consistent and valued contributions to Clan Plagueis all year, and he has done the sort of work that can only be truly recognized through advancement to the rank of Equite 2.

In the realm of personal activity, Azmodius has participated in 43 total competitions and earned 19 crescents (9 Amethyst, 5 Sapphire, 4 Emerald, and 1 Topaz). Of those, 24 were during our recent The Enemy Below event (which was a 100% participation score). During that event, he placed third overall with a score of 193 total points, only 9 points behind first and second place. He has also earned 199 Clusters of Fire for his gaming, 5 Clusters of Ice through 4 fiction activities of 2,375 words, and six Clusters of Graphite for his graphics entries. Additionally, he passed 26 courses in the Shadow Academy on his way to earning 5 degrees (3 Mavens and a Savant).

Even with his mountain of activity, Azmodius has made even larger contributions as a leader. His efforts as Battleteam Leader of The Circle were hugely important to our Clan. As the unit that serves as a destination for all our new joins, maintaining a constant presence on Telegram and engaging his members daily was something that Azmodius excelled at. His activity in creating a positive new member experience for his charges is something that has helped Plagueis grow as we look to the future. He has encouraged and supported his members, helping them navigate the trials and tribulations that many have experienced outside of simply fulfilling promotion requirements. In addition, he has made substantive contributions to the monthly Rollmaster report, often collating and formatting activity data for inclusion in that report as is his assigned task. Following his time there, Azmodius transitioned to the position of Aedile of House Ajunta Pall nearly three months ago. Since his move, he has continued to serve as the kind of leader that is the example for others. He has released all three of his monthly reports in a timely manner, making sure our members stay informed about goings on in the Brotherhood and Clan as part of our regimented unit report schedule in Plagueis. Additionally, he has continued to be a ever-present part of our Clan telegram channel helping to build and reinforce the sense of community that keeps our members engaged and active.

All in all, Azmodius has been an excellent part of our Clan summit in Plagueis. The Steel Cross that he earned coupled with his Seal of Loyalty already speak volumes as to his value to our unit. It therefore gives me great pleasure to recommend him for advancement to the rank of Equite 2. I know it will not be his last stop along the way, but instead it shall serve as yet another rung on the climb up the ladder of his continued success. Congratulations!
