The Voice of the Dark Brotherhood is a challenging position responsible for fictional updates, society creation, and world building. Evant has taken each of these tasks and improved upon them well beyond anything previous Voices and he has even gone as far as to take on the daunting task as the lead data creator for the DB possessions system. Evant's work has been stellar, timely, and has improved our entire club. Thank you for your dedication and hard work!

Grand Master Declan Roark, 2015-12-26 04:35:50 UTC

Dark Jedi Master James Lucius Entar Arconae has served the Dark Brotherhood with a devotion and loyalty that is unquestioned. His individual work and maintenance on our website is worth of recognition alone, but it is his team work and effort on a multitude of coding projects that truly set him apart from nearly every other member in the history of our club. The work contributed by James is the type of work that impacts every member of our club and that should never be taken for granted.

I am thankful for all you do and and our club is a better place because of you.

While he is overhauling his character into the role of Loyalist Fenn, Zagro has never shirked away from his duty as a member, a leader, and a friend. His great efforts over the last 10 months have been greatly appreciated and has shown he is more than ready to continue further into the Equite ranks.

Sitting with 68 Competitions participated in, Fenn has earned a Steel Cross, 2 Amethyst Stars, 3 Sapphire Stars, 3 Emerald Stars, 1 Topaz Star, 1 Quartz Star, 31 Cluster of Fire, 15 Cluster of Earth, 16 Cluster of Ice, 11 Scroll of Foundation, 1 Scroll of the Master, and 1 Legion of the Scholar. He has also completed 13 SA Courses, and earned 4 degrees.

Following CSP’s reclanning, Zagro stepped up as the first Aedile for the new House Imperium. Maintaining regular contact with the house, he helped keep the house on track during the shaky first few months of being a totally new unit. His efforts for the club also came in the form of several months as a SA Professor, where he graded some 162 Courses.

Fenn has been a strong face in CSP, and I hope will continue to do so as a Commander. Congratulations Fenn! Drinks are on you!

Consul of Scholae Palatinae

Lord Idris Adenn, 2015-12-24 16:52:52 UTC

Fenn, as he is now known as, is a strong member from a famous past that I have the honour of watching develop from afar. He is a superbly friendly face on the Telegram channel, an intellectual voice for when the opinions matter in summit discussions and a strong competitor. By participating in over sixty-seven competitions, co-organising New Beginnings and organising Imperium Motto he is a natural in sociable leadership.

Fenn had the honour of being a master one day and took Drake Starfire under his wing, showing him the basics and the technical details of becoming a successful member in Scholae Palatinae. Together, they benefitted from this earning and Drake earned his knighthood, while Fenn earned a Scroll of the Master.

I do believe Fenn has what it takes to reach this high calibre of Equites, as his maturity, wisdom and friendliness demonstrate this.

Congratulations Fenn! Drinks are on you!

Aedile of House Imperium, Clan Scholae Palatinae

Dr. Lexiconus Qor, 2015-12-20 19:52:30 UTC

Following his promotion to EQ1, Fenn served for several months as Professor of the Department of CORE Studies in the Shadow Academy. During that time, he graded more than 160 exams and made edits to the course notes and exams to correct errors, inconsistencies, and to reflect structural or fictional changes in the Brotherhood as a whole. He maintained an excellent 5-hour average grading time, and showed a great deal of initiative in managing his department. It was a pleasure to work with him. Congratulations, Fenn!

Headmaster of the Brotherhood

Lord Dacien Victae, 2015-12-20 19:53:41 UTC

Fenn was one of the original members who I held as a role model when I first joined. His activity was insane, but I witnessed where it got him in the Clan. I wanted to be like him and thus he became my role model as such. He has held many differents positions, help solidify wins in the GJW, and maintained an active presence even when RL got tough. Fenn in all reality is a member who I know will contribute and have fun with this clan for as long as time merits. His dedication and activity are on par with many. I look forward to your future growth here my friend!

Rollmaster of Scholae Palatiane

Maximus Alvinius, 2015-12-20 19:53:08 UTC

Fenn has been part of the Equitehood ranks for some time, he has held multiple positions within leadership while being completely active and participating within a whopping 69 competitions. He is a member who sees something, and goes for it! Through his participation in exams, grading them, earning crescents, as well as writing various fictions.

He has been an amazing leader since he stepped up with our Clan Hood, helping Dante hammer out House Imperium. The dedication that he brings to our Clan is one that I look forward to seeing how it is forged in the future, each activity is an accessory to his blaster that he uses efficiently, congratulations Fenn, drinks are on you!

Proconsul of Scholae Palatinae

Issamuel Kin'Droth, 2015-12-20 19:54:01 UTC

Eetherbiail has had the difficult job of stepping into the position of Proconsul for the clan. Over the last six months of hard work, I’ve seen him continue to grow as a capable leader, who should be proud of his accomplishments.

He helped me organize the first of our house feuds since becoming reclanned. He took point in organizing the events for the second round of our Forgotten Clan Campaign. He has been apart of all the reviews and projects ongoing in the clan, and has learned a great deal what is required of top level unit leadership.

He has participated in some 60 competitions, including many in our most recent event, Monstrosity, showing how to lead from the front. In total he has earned 1 Steel Cross, 3 Anteian Crosses, 2 Dark Crosses, 2 Amethyst Stars, 1 Sapphire Star, 1 Emerald Star, 2 Topaz Stars, 2 Quartz Stars, 12 Clusters of Fire and 19 Clusters of Ice. He has passed some 37 SA Courses, earning 8 different degrees.

As a leader he is consistent. As a member he is dedicated. It is time for him to take another step forward in the Equite ranks, as one of our great and reliable members. Congratulations Eether! Drinks are on you!

Consul of Scholae Palatinae

Lord Idris Adenn, 2015-12-24 16:52:54 UTC

Eetherbiail is an exemplary member of the house with his many achievements as well as leadership he provides to the clan. He was a BTL when i joined the Brotherhood, already in a leadership position running his own team of members. He kept this position for a long period of time, granting his battle team further greatness until the battle teams were no longer. he stepped up as the Proconsul of Scholae Palatinae, now clanned with Eether at the top, collaborating with the rest of the summit leadership of the clan. He ran events as proconsul and continues to be a highly motivated summit leader of Scholae Palatinae.

He has participated in 59 competitions, demonstrating what being a leader by example is all about. Eether has participated the monstrosity event that involved 19 competitions across the entire month. He has earned 8 crescents, 1 steel cross, 3 Anteian crosses, and two dark crosses for his dedicated service to his clan. He is a leadership that is always can be found if you need him and will do the best that he can of his ability to get it done. This is a well deserved achievement for you. Congratulations Eether! Drinks on you!

Quaestor of House Excidium

Lucyeth, 2015-12-20 20:08:07 UTC

Eether is a man I know I can rely on when concerning this clan and summit. Not because it is his job as Proconsul to support myself as Aedile, but because it’s in his nature to be kind, generous and down to earth with Delak and I. Eether has participated in over fifty-nine competitions, co-organised seven competitions and organised ten more in his own initiative. It is thinking like this, that landed him the higher-summit job in the first place. As a strong writer, Eether has participated in fictions and wrote over 6590 words of fiction, along with 1875 words in runon posts.

Eether also likes to dabble in the Shadow Academy and has passed thirty-seven courses and gained eight degrees. He was also awarded two Scrolls of Indoctrination for his superb efforts in manipulating...I mean persuading his friends to join the Brotherhood with him. Eether is a leader I can always follow, a mentor I can always rely on, and a friend I can come to for support. Telegram is a much nicer place when Eether around, and i’m not the only one who notices this. For his excellence, his maturity and wisdom, I will gladly recommend this pink dude for the Second Equite promotion.

Congratulations Eether! Drinks are on you!

Aedile of House Imperium, Clan Scholae Palatinae

Dr. Lexiconus Qor, 2015-12-20 20:07:46 UTC

Eether has been what the Clan has needed in the form of leadership. While Xen is ever molding him into being the future Juggernaut… I mean CON, he is always in a can do mentality and willing to put in the time to help us get there. He has always proven that he isn’t absent from the Clan’s future goals, and has continued to help further our agenda to grow Scholae into an even more active presence in the DJB. He has impressed me with his ability to drive forward and complete what is needed to better the Clan. I know he will only further that growth in the future. Congrats brother!

Over the past 21 months, Rhace Tarrin has done an exceptional job of consuming and producing content within the Brotherhood. For his exceptional activity, I have the honor of recognizing his readiness for advancement to the rank of Equite 3. Continue to find that spark, Kiwi, and let it drive you to your full potential.

Since his last elevation, Rhace has submitted to 98 competitions, created 23 competitions, and co-organized 3 competitions. Over this time, he has logged 94 PvP Matches, submitted 153 PvE Activities, completed 5 ACC Battles, passed 21 Shadow Academy courses, gained 9 Dark Side Degrees, and Rank XII in the Shadow Academy Society. In addition, he has collected a Grand Cross, an Anteian Cross, 5 Dark Crosses, 48 Crescents (1 Cr-D, 8 Cr-A, 7 Cr-S, 20 Cr-E, 10 Cr-T, 2 Cr-Q), 9 Pendants of Blood, 579 Clusters of Fire, 42 Clusters of Ice, 1046 Clusters of Earth, 1 Scroll of Indoctrination, 4 Scrolls of Foundation, 1 Scroll of the Master, and 8 Legions of the Scholar.

This alone, however, does not recognize the skills of advancement within the Equite ranks. He has shown contrition for his past and worked very hard within the Clan and House; hard enough that I believe he is ready to turn a new page and write a new chapter. Congratulations, Rhace. You’ve done a lot of hard work to earn this elevation.

Braecen Kaeth
Quaestor of Galeres

Braecen Kaeth, 2015-12-25 14:22:25 UTC

I have worked with Rhace since his joining Galeres, it’s rare to find someone with the drive and ability to take on so much without hesitation. Personal projects, house projects, gaming, constant communication via telegram and email. Simply put Rhace has proven himself to be willing to go above and beyond when needed. He is currently working on multiple initiatives not only for Galeres but Arcona as a whole: organizing character development fictions, character development workshops, and more. In addition, he provided much needed updates and work on the Shadesworn Wiki page; one of the pivotal identity documents for Arcona.

When Rhace first came to Galeres we weren’t sure what to expect at first, I am glad to say he has surpassed any expectation given. He remains a dedicated contributor of content, he regularly submits to competitions and even finds time to game within the Club to build camaraderie with others.

On behalf of House Galeres and your Summit. Congratulations on your elevation through the Equite Ranks.

Rhace, Mirus, Kiwi, whatever we’re calling this artistic workhorse this week has been surprisingly patient in his time waiting for this promotion. Despite setbacks, projects that he took on that ended up not being viable, and a few personality clashes, the Kiwi has persevered. Along with this he’s shown himself to be a friendly, encouraging personality within House Galeres and the Nighthawk Battleteam, diving into the Telegram discussions and Hangouts with his fellow members. Mirus is the kind of bloke who goes ‘well, that didn’t work, huh, okay, let’s try this next’ instead of simply giving up to discouragement and setbacks.

He’s also no stranger to taking on more work, others here will speak of his wiki work surely but what I find great is his artistic endeavours. Need a report graphic in a hurry? Maybe something tweaked a bit? Warbanner (love mine, Sir Kiwi)? No problem, send him some details and boom, graphic pops back up before you’re done talking to him. His enthusiasm and willingness to work speak volumes about his ability and personality as a member, and we in Arcona are better for knowing him.

You’ve been waiting patiently for this for a while, Rhace, congratulations mate!

General Stres'tron'garmis, 2015-12-25 14:21:16 UTC

Rhace, or Mirus as I still know him by, has been a driving force behind some of the projects I have been maintaining over the past few months. Primarily, his work towards the update of the Shadesworn wiki has not gone unnoticed, him having updated the entirety of the document to reflect the NFU introduction and helping with the adjustment of the various rosters throughout. Aside from his project work, his proposal creation of Tyrant Blade, which laid the groundwork for Styx, helped create a unique Battleteam that has been radiating results. Without Rhace, these things would not have been completed in the timeframe which they were.

Recently, Rhace has moved between Arcona’s houses into Galeres, where he has already shown his willingness to work and has embraced new, active place in Nighthawk. I offer my congratulations, Mirus, for a job well done. Keep up the good work and we’ll see you down the road.

Arcia Cortel
Proconsul of Arcona

Rear Admiral Arcia Cortel, 2015-12-25 14:20:20 UTC

I’m honored to present Wes Biriuk for elevation to Equite 2 today. He has served as a devout member of Clan Arcona, House Galeres, and the Soulfire Battle Team. Demonstrating his skill and desire as both a gamer and competitor throughout the past several years.

Since his last elevation, he has submitted to 74 competitions, organized 2 competitions, logged 2 PvP Matches, tallied 41 PvE Activities, and passed 1 Shadow Academy course. In addition, he has collected quite the myriad of awards: 2 Anteian Crosses, a Dark Cross, 5 Novae (1 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze), 9 crescents (3 Cr-A, 1 Cr-S, 1 Cr-E, 3 Cr-T, 1 Cr-Q), 8 Pendants of Blood, 405 Clusters of Fire, 4 Clusters of Ice, and 64 Clusters of Earth. He also, in that time, served with distinction as a Battle Team Leader for 1 month.

For his tremendous efforts on behalf of Arcona throughout the Independence Games, Dark Crusades, and the ramp up to the Force Awakens… I am honored to see him elevated. Thank you for your constant effort and activity. It does not go unnoticed or underappreciated.

Braecen Kaeth
Quaestor of Galeres

Braecen Kaeth, 2015-12-25 14:22:31 UTC

Throughout the history of the Brotherhood, few events held as much weight and lasted so long as the Dark Crusade. Throughout each conflict Arcona was held up by many hands, Wes proved himself capable of standing alongside the best the Brotherhood had to offer. Earning five Novae in the General Forces competitions throughout the Crusade, A Gold Novae, Two Silver and Two Bronze. Five placements when competing not only with his brothers within Arcona, but against the other Clan’s comprising the Brotherhood.

He hasn’t just rested on his laurels, though. He has remained active over six of the past nine months. Finding time in a busy schedule to continue his advancement, participate as a member of Galeres, and continue his gaming. He has also become a beast in Battlefront 2015 on the PC; playing regularly and attaining level 50 in-game. That is a tremendous feat when you consider the amount of hours it takes to level up. While not all of his activity may have been submitted for Clusters, his continuing to play shows his dedication to the platform for the Brotherhood.

For his work during the Dark Crusade in the service of the Brotherhood and his continuing effort to compete regularly, participate and earn award. It is an honor to recommend Wes Biriurk for his promotion to the second rank of Equite.
