Hunter Zill, your time in rank (4000 days) must be an absolute record. You should have been promoted a long time ago in the field of battle. I'd like to apologize on behalf of Tarentum and it's former leaders before I go on.

Your past and recent activity is stunning. You have have participated in seven events during the Fifth Great Jedi War and two events in 2005 Independence Games, for which you have won two Gold Novas. You also recently participated in sixteen competitions for which you have won eleven Crescents of various types.

You have led the Blades of Malice Brigade and the Wings Of Darkness Squadron during which you have earned five Dark Crosses and one Steel Cross. For your recent efforts you have also earned an Anteian Cross.

You have also recently earned two Dark Pundits in the Shadow Academy, one in Essentials and one in Vendetta. Your help for Tarentum's Social Media has been of great value with various posts on Facebook and Twitter for the last four months.

It is my pleasure to recommend this promotion for a valuable, longs standing, member of Tarentum. Well done, Knight Zill! Congratulations!

Signed,

Battlelord Frosty Romanae Tarentae

Rollmaster of Tarentum

As one of the past leaders of Tarentum, I can say, I take a lot of the blame for not having you knighted. We fix that today.

Zill, you always have been, and ever will be, a true guardian of Tarentum. You stand among us as one of our greatest, exhibited in Frosty's words with competing in a number of events, and scoring novae for your efforts. Additionally, you have taken the efforts to keep our Clan in the modern era with social media, and you have been dedicated in your work therein. When you came back from your hiatus, you began working with Archean on playing TOR, and also building character fiction related to the adventures you two shared there.

You have been at the rank of Hunter for so long, you have seen others rise to their knighthood, and have spoken their praise, without a word of complaint, and therein lies perhaps your greatest attribute -- you care more about your Clanmates than yourself, and you exemplify all that we ought to aspire to. This Club -- this Clan especially -- is about family, and you are, without a doubt, one of Tarentum's greatest sons. You are busy in the world of business, but never fail to offer congratulations to all in Tarentum with every reward. You respond to all emails easily within hours of receiving them, and offer a model of what all leaders ought to maintain.

Zill, I have personally been blessed and edified by your friendship and example, and I know you will sail through all the future ranks, and rise easily to mastery. You maintain a standard of activity and relations that have made me better than I otherwise might have been. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

Rise, Knight, and receive my thanks and praise. Your name is forever stamped in our hall of immortals.

Congratulations, Zill!

Today we're proud, and happy, to recommend Thorzan Dane Beviin for the rank of Hunter. Thorzan has been chipping away at his Journeyman requirements as time allows him to, and it's nice to be able to say it has paid off for him. Besides the Ten competitions he's done, in which he picked up no less than Six Crescents and Eight Clusters of Ice, he also took the time to finish of an Academy course. Throw in the first ever Dark Cross he's earned, and he's more than fulfilled the suggested requirements for this advancement.

Good job, Thorzan, and I hope to help you on your way to Knight!

blackhawk, 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 be filed. Your accomplishments include:

• Have an approved character sheet on record
• Logon to IRC and visit Clan channel
• Pass 8 Shadow Academy courses from the (Novitiate Hall) department(s)
• Pass Dark Brotherhood Basics Shadow Academy course

I will continue to watch your progress, blackhawk, 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,

Kyo Akumu. It is a name that I have come to adore and cherish not just as a strong willed and competitively pleasurable face, but as a good friend and a terrific contributor. Kyo has been awarded nine crescents for his participation in competitions (1-D, 4-S, 4-E). Kyo has also participated in over 25 competitions, and competed strongly in the most recent Clan Event Monstrosities, gaining 8th place overall. Kyo has also contributed to the Dark Brotherhood and co-organised three competitions with Landon Cruise for the Star Conflict community.

Kyo has also branched out from his comfort zone and into the scholarly world of the Shadow Academy, earning himself SA Rank IV, passing 5 courses and earning 1 degree since his last promotion. Kyo Akumu is somewhat of a fast learner, as he quickly realised the key to retaining character information is through your wiki. So Kyo began to construct a basic origins story, his introduction into the Dark Brotherhood and the physical data such as weight, height and birth world. He independently created a wiki page which was approved by wiki staff.

Keeping to his core strengths, Kyo Akumu is and always will be a proud gamer. He has earned himself over ninety Clusters of Earth and 3 Pendants of Blood. He has also dabbled in a bit of writing and was awarded 1 Cluster of Ice for a tidy 549 words of fiction.

Kyo it has been a tremendous honour to mentor you through to Knighthood. I couldn’t of wanted a better apprentice, because you have also been my teacher and mentor.

Congratulations Kyo! The drinks are on you!

Today I get to partake in one of the best aspects of being a leader in this club. Adding my voice to the recognition of a member who has come to the end of the journeymen trials, and is ready to rise, a Knight.

Tofu has been an amazing new member here in Scholae Palatinae. From his enthusiastic openings on telegram, to his dedicated participation, it has been a thrill to see him advance forward in the ranks. Sitting on top of 25 different competitions submissions, and earning an array of crescents (including a super awesome diamond star!), a multitude of Clusters and PoBs, Kyo is a bastion of activity. I was able to see first hand the quality of these efforts in our recent clan event, Monstrosity, where each of Kyo’s submissions were of a high caliber.

I know we will be continuing to see great things from Tofu down the road, and I can’t wait to be a part of it. Congratulations Kyo Akumu, Knight of the Brotherhood! Drinks are on you!

It is a wonderful moment when a new member is nurtured through the stages to reach Knighthood. The journeymen trials is the first major hurdle through the Brotherhood, and it is my pleasure to help introduce the newest Knight into Scholae.

Kyo is a very active and hard working member, he is a major gamer, as well as a major participant within Scholae’s recent campaign, placing in the top 10! He has received many crescents for his effort, with a diamond star before he even became a Knight!

Kyo is one to look at the future, and I for one am excited to see where his leaps take him, congratulations Kyo Akumu, welcome to the prestigious rank of Knight within the Brotherhood, drinks are on you!
