Event History

Since his last promotion in february, Ylith has been a paragon of work in this Clan. He was our top scorer in the last GJW, by all reckoning. He has served as Aedile, been awarded more clusters of fire than I care to count, served on the fiction staff, earned seven crescents, a steel cross, a dark cross, served as an EP, earned 6 seals, a silver nova, 2 scrolls of foundation, a seal of loyalty (a big honor), fought in the Outer Rim war, last RoS, and 180+ battles in the GJW 7. In fact, he was responsible for the lion's share of our gaming effort, and without him the third place seating would have been impossible. We wish to award him the highest honor that this Clan will give out after the last Great Jedi war, the Sapphire Blade. He has truly earned it, and has the distinct honor of receiving the only one we gave in this War.

Ylith is truly one of the most valuable members of Clan Naga Sadow. He was our number one scorer for the Seventh Great Jedi War and without him we would never have placed third. He has earned a plethora of CF's and as such is our resident Gamer-God in fact being responsible for the majority of our gaming points. Ylith continues to work hard for the Clan and as a token of our gratitude and esteem we would like to honor him with the Sapphire Blade.

Ylith has done an outstanding job in the GJW. He has proven his dedication to the Clan by dominating in the gaming unit. Now I cant speak for his previous activities because I haven't been his QUA that long but I do know that participating in 180 battles for his Clan should not be forgotten. He has done a fine job in this war and I feel that he has proven himself loyal. Keep up the hard work Ylith ~Quejo Rak'ul Drakai , HMR QUA

Kazarelth is, without a doubt, one of the most-talented younger members of Tarentum we have, and he is truly an asset to us through his personal activity, and his leadership of the Praxeum. Before the weight of the Great Jedi War came on all of us, Kaz had already shown duty to his Team by running no less than three competitions for the Praxeum. In a term of about a month prior to the GJW, Kaz had run three comps for his Team.<br> <br> <br> Kaz has spent the last five months as a Jedi Hunter, and though he is certainly ready for Knighthood, he is also ready for much, much more. His Knighthood will be taken care of soon enough, but for one with such impressive actions as he, especially considering his actions in the Great Jedi War, I find this reward absolutely appropriate.<br> <br> <br> Kaz has been a mentor to the Praxeum since Windos turned over the Team's leadership to him a few months ago. He has maintained an impressive effort to try and help train and bring up the members of his Team, and support the initiative in Gladius of making sure as many of our recruits as possible maintain an enjoyable, long-term experience in the Clan and Brotherhood.<br> <br> In the Great Jedi War, Kaz was vital to the efforts of<br> Tarentum to "release" Welshman from the first Embrace of Pain. He was also very active in writing and as many events as he could participate in, including the Clan's run-on. He earned 10 Seals for his participation in the run-on, submitting to the poetry/graphics ladder, and no less than seven submissions to the writing events of the GJW. Kazarelth has shown an impressive ability to<br> blend himself with his Clanmates, and has become a vital part of Tarentum's history.<br> <br> Kazarelth is a motivated, dedicated member, and his activity speaks volumes for him. He is actively involved in the leadership discussions of the Clan, and helped provide viewpoints and subjects of discussion for the GJW help threads for the Clan, too. He is talented, and social, and cares for the rest of his Clan as much, or more, than any other leader in this Clan, myself<br> included. I appreciate all of his works, and thank him for his future endeavors, as well.<br> <br> Congratulations, Kazarelth. Your Knighthood and lightsaber are surely not far behind, but I hope you will see the significance in this reward, as well.<br> <br> -DJM Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae<br> Consul, Clan Tarentum

Already approved via GM Sarin<br> <br> In my nearly four years in the Dark Brotherhood, I've never written a recommendation for a Sapphire Blade. The keys to a Sapphire Blade are large amounts of activity overtime, not seen for what they really are until you step back and see them as a whole. In this case, I believe Sith Warrior Dismal fully meets this requirement.<br> <br> When Consul Aabsdu first approached me about this, we were both planning on awarding Dismal a Steel Cross or Grand Cross for different work he has performed both Clan Plagueis and the Dark Voice. After discussing his achievements within Clan Plagueis, and comparing them to his work with the Dark Voice, I suggested that perhaps we should combine our efforts, and reward this member with something of a higher caliber.<br> <br> While I will leave his accomplishments in Clan Plagueis for Consul Aabsdu to elaborate on, his GJW performance has been outstanding, and I also understand he's done a good job as House Envoy and Rollmaster. However, my part in this recommendation comes from his services to the Dark Voice.<br> <br> If you would've asked me three months ago when I took the position of Dark Voice Tribune who Dismal was, I couldn't have told you much, other then someone I vaguely remembered had been through the Chamber of Justice not so long ago. When Dismal approached me about the Dark Voice, I was initially hesitant. Against the advice of some, I ended up giving the position to Dismal, and since that day, I don't think a single day has gone by where he hasn’t annoyed me with his ideas, offers for help, updates on tasks I'd set him to, and so much more. Dismal is no longer just another staff member on the Dark Voice, he is truly apart of it.<br> <br> In the past two issues, Dismal has laid his name to several articles. It's what Dismal does behind the scenes, however, that truly makes him a valid recipient of the Sapphire Blade. I don't have to "prod" Dismal to work on his assignments; generally it's the opposite, with Dismal prodding me about giving him more work, or finding something for him to do. He's constantly in contact with the people he needs to be in touch with for this article or that, and he's constantly delivering the work I've set him to accomplish long before I expect it. He is motivated to do things on his own - Updating <br> Dark Voice Wiki Pages, creating ideas for new articles, and more.<br> <br> He's also a great sounding board. He helps me flesh out ideas, he gives me an honest opinion when I seek it, and sometimes when I don’t ;). I have little doubt that Dismal will proceed me as Dark Voice Tribune when my time comes, and after a mere few months, I'm not worried that if I have to leave for some reason, the Dark Voice will be in good hands. All of this, in addition to the contents of all the other recommendations in this request, I believe makes a perfect reason to award a Sapphire Blade.<br> <br> It's my privilege to lend my name to this recommendation. Congratulations, Dismal. You've worked very hard, and I'm pleased we're able to now give you this award. ~ Sith Battlemaster Derev Niroth | Dark Voice Tribune<br> <br> ~~~<br> <br> First name that comes to mind when I hear of an award being given out always springs to Dismal. If you were to pick out our most active member of the clan and our most dedicated, it would have to be Dismal. Over the last few months Dismal has been a vital asset to our clan. His great work in his Envoy duties far surpasses any other member who could take his place, and his role as Battleteam leader, albeit a short term, was dedicated and successful. There are few who can live up to him in his work rate. He has also become a valuable asset to the rest of the DB through the Dark Voice. Dismal has also greatly helped our whole clan in the current GJW, competing in every poetry and graphic comp, submitting in the Run-On and taking part in an amazing 300 JO matches! Dismal is truly a credit to the house and the clan and I am delighted to recommend him for a Sapphire Blade ~ HEK AED Jagan<br> <br> ~~~<br> <br> Dismal has been very active and has spoken with me on multiple occasions on what needs to be done for the clan. He has often talked about improvements and how we can help our newer members. He does bring amusement to the group and a way for us to bring ourselves together (we call it Dismal Bashing....j/k) and I seriously think he ought to be rewarded for all of his activities across the board; he does much for the DB. ~ Jedi Hunter Aalos Fier<br> <br> ~~~~~<br> <br> As already spoken off in the recommendations above, Dismal is one of the most active and dedicated members in Clan Plagueis. Just like with the Dark Voice, he is always asking for things to help out with, and I'm proud to award him for all that work. While just promoted not too long ago, his service within these troubling times is proved more than deserving of the Sapphire Blade.<br> <br> As Battleteam Leader of Exar's Shadow, Dismal keep timely reports and made sure that the members were keeping active, especially in the Great Jedi War. Then, as Envoy, he constantly emails the journeymen with their promotion requirements, always within twenty-four hours, something I have always been impressed by. His work with the Dark Voice as well as smaller clan projects that are still in the works show his loyalty.<br> <br> Yet, his real activity comes from the Seventh Great Jedi War. During those six weeks of competitions, Dismal might have been the most active person in the clan. He was, at the very least, in the top three. Participating in every single graphic and poetry event, he also showed ACC activity, and an amazing amount of Jedi Outcast activity, over three hundred matches!! He was also a weekly participator in the clan run-on.<br> <br> All in all, Dismal's activity as a BTL, Envoy, just plain out awesome member, and his superb Great Jedi War activity accounts for a lot, and when combined with his large amount of work done with the Dark Voice, I'm proud to award this medal ~ Consul Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar<br>

Epis RevengeX Palpatine: Krath Epis RevengeX Palpatine has served as a devout son of Palpatine supplying priceless leadership as the QUA of House Acclivis Draco. His dominating performance in the Great Jedi War inspired and motivated his troops and superiors alike. Leading from the front, Revenge was without peer in CSP during the War. For his continued service to the Dark Brotherhood and his Dominating performance in the GJW, I, Grand Master Sarin, award the Sapphire Blade to Epis RevengeX Palpatine.

Archpriest Impetus Korin: Archpriest Impetus Korin has served two Houses (HAD & HC), but her faith in CSP has never changed despite serving a multitude of positions. Her commitment and dedication is shown by her valor on the battlefield as she rallies her fellow members to give their best. Waging war against the Clans of the Dark Brotherhood and the Yuuzhan Vong, Impetus placed herself as one of CSP’s finest warriors. For her service and dedication to the Dark Brotherhood and CSP, I, Grand Master Sarin, award the Sapphire Blade to Epis Archpriest Impetus Korin.

Dark Jedi Master Alanna Taldrya: Prowess on the Battlefield is often found in the brute strength of warriors; however, a more cunning and disciplined prowess exists in those who have transcended within the Dark Side. One such warrior who has displayed this talent is Dark Jedi Master Alanna Taldrya. Using her skills on the field of battle Alanna placed herself in the highest of esteem. Her efforts on behalf of the Clan Taldryan secured victory for the First Clan yet again. For her skill on the field of battle, I, Grand Master Sarin, award Dark Jedi Master Alanna Taldrya the Sapphire Blade.
<br> What can I say about Alanna that everyone doesn’t already know? She has done great in the GJW with immaculate participation and huge amounts of help for the members of Ektrosis and the rest of Taldryan. He work with the newer members helped a ton in the event. She did twelve run on posts earning the clan a bunch of points and helping contribute to the story. She had five ACC battles which helped the clan come out on top in the ladder. She came in 13th in the “Other” ladder by doing all but two graphics and taking home a bronze nova for one of her poetry entries. She came in 2nd over all in the fiction ladder by doing every fiction, earning a ton of bonus points, and she even won a bronze nova for a fiction submission gaining a massive amount of points for us in just entry. Alanna He stellar participation and excellent help with our newer members gave Taldryan a huge boost in this war. Alanna Taldrya, I am proud to be a part of this Sapphire Blade. You truly deserve this and I’m sure you will enjoy it even though it isn’t a cookie.

• Dark Prophet Telaris "Mav" Taldrya Cantor: A Dark Prophet is a dangerous and deadly foe. Feared for their power and seconded only to the Grand Masters, the Dark Prophets are the epitome of the Dark Side of the Force. Amongst these Dark Prophets, one stands alone. This Dark Prophet, Telaris "Mav" Taldrya Cantor has once again demonstrated why he is feared and respected across the Dark Brotherhood. Returning from his intense studies of the Dark Side, Mav dominated the GJW with skill and élan. His prowess on the field of battle and skill as a master of Dun Moch intimated his opponents into submission. <br> <br> It is impossible to derive if Clan Taldryan would have found victory in the GJW if it were not for the efforts of Mav, but one thing is certain. His knowledge and skill were welcome additions to both Clan Taldryan and the Grand Master. Serving as an advisor and combatant, Mav displayed his unique value to the Dark Brotherhood. For his skill and wisdom, I, Grand Master Sarin, award Dark Prophet Telaris “Mav” Taldrya Cantor the Sapphire Blade. <br> Mav did a terrific job in this Great Jedi War. His did all but one graphics and poetry submission netting him a placing of 7th in the other ladder. He also placed with many of his fiction entries gaining a 10th place finish in the fiction ladder. Mav truly came up big in the JO/JA ladder where he got 7th place with over 200 matches played. He also did twelve Run on posts helping net a lot of participation points and giving out run on some clarity. For all of Mav’s hard work, and all the WoWing he missed, he has earned a Sapphire Blade! Congratulations Mav you really earned this!

Prelate Chaosrain Taldrya: Serving as Proconsul of the First Clan is a difficult and demanding task. Fortunately for Clan Taldryan and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole, Chaosrain Taldrya is more than up to the task. Leading by example, Chaos fought valiantly during the GJW. His dedication and effort ensured a 7th consecutive victory for Clan Taldryan and ensured another year of First Clan Status. For his service and leadership to Clan Taldryan and the Dark Brotherhood, I, Grand Master Sarin, award the Sapphire Blade to Prelate Chaosrain Taldrya. <br> <br> ******<br> <br> Chaos has been in Taldryan since I joined over a year ago, and has always been an active and involved member of his House and Clan. The longest serving Ektrosis Quaestor, Chaos has shown his worth over the years during his tenure. He stepped up to PCON recently, and has been doing a great job leading the Clan throughout the Seventh Great Jedi War. His dedication to Taldryan has not gone unnoticed, and Chaos' work ethic and willingness to better Taldryan are always a consistent sight in the Summit. Whether he's working on planet histories, writing an extremely rare report ( :P ), or reprimanding me for something I should know by now, Chaos is always there to help and better those around him.<br> <br> As I said before, Chaos has been a leader in Taldryan since I joined, and I wouldn't trade him for anyone else. Chaos has been *my leader for the majority of my time in the Brotherhood, and has always been someone I've respected and learned from immensely. He coached me as a Battleteam Leader in my pre-DJK days, as an AED when I wasn't even in the same House, and as a QUA over Ektrosis. I've had a lot to live up to in Ektrosis, and Chaos has left a lasting impression on Ektrosis through his solid leadership skills and motivation to always be doing something constructive (at least most of the time :P ). Because of his consistent and superior level of leadership in Clan Taldryan, I'm more than happy to be a former student awarding his teacher a Sapphire Blade. <br><br> Congratulations Chaos, you've earned this one. <br> +OT Sklib+ <br><br> Chaosrain, er, Chaos has been one outstanding leader in Taldryan since before I took Consul at the beginning of last year. His service to the Clan and House Ektrosis has been marvelous and countless. As Proconsul, Chaos has helped me with many website updates, emails to the Clan, given me input on the Clan Prospectus, and contributed to the leadership of the Clan during the long Seventh Great Jedi War. Within the War he actually managed to participate in many events from the Wargame, Fiction, Graphics, Poetry, the Run-on, taking placement points for playing RC, and JO/JA/JK ladder. Amazing work all around and well worth this award, Chaos, thanks for everything. <br><br> For Taldryan, <br> Obelisk Primarch Duga Taldrya Arkarso Consul and Son of Clan Taldryan Planetary Viceroy of Karufr, Regent of the Kr'Tal System

• Epis Xia Long: The Dark Brotherhood database and knowledge center is a pivotal part of our operations. This source of knowledge has been updated and improved upon over the past year by the exceptional skill of Krath Epis Xia Long. Xia has streamlined several areas of our database and has made knowledge more accessible and readily available to our members.<br> <br> When confronted with the pending invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, Epis Long secured the Dark Brotherhood knowledge base and conducted an immediate transfer to the Grand Master’s Flagship. Her quick thinking and skill saved the Dark Brotherhood from entering a period of information black out and allowed our forces to rally out of the Antei system. For her wisdom and knowledge, I, Grand Master Sarin, award KrathEpis Xia Long the Sapphire Blade. <br>

Grand Master Declan Roark, 2007-08-24 22:00:00 UTC

• Dark Side Adept Sharad Taldrya Hett: Dark Side Adept Sharad Taldrya Hett has proven himself to be one of the most formidable warriors in the Dark Brotherhood. His prowless on the battlefield, in particular the realm of one on one contact was at the very least phenomenal. Displaying skill and vengeance he toyed with and then dispatched over seventeen individual warriors. Sharad’s efforts in the Great Jedi War led to Clan Taldryan finishing as First Clan yet again. For his skill and dedication, I, Grand Master Sarin, award Dark Side Adept Sharad Taldrya Hett the Sapphire Blade.
<br> Sharad has done a great job during this GJW. He took third in the ACC ladder, 9th in the Jedi Knight series ladder, he is also up pretty high in the fiction ladder with double digit fiction entries, he posted three times in the Run on, and he has helped the clan in the other ladder by doing poetry and graphics. Sharad is one of our great members that always comes out to help when we need it. He is always wiling to help and was pushing us all to work harder and finding gaming matches for some members. For all of your work during this GJW Sharad you truly deserve this Sapphire Blade.
