A Sapphire Blade is often awarded for consistent service to one's Clan, which does not render recognition until seen as a whole. It is often awarded as a medal for multiple services over a long period of time. One such period of time would be the duration of the Sixth Great Jedi War. <br> <br> It is Clan Scholae Palatinae's privilege and honor to award Sith Knight Rasilvenaira with this award for her continued service and excellent participation. She competed in 24 events, collecting 1200 points, 613 Clusters of Fire, 4 Novae and 24 Seals in the name of Palpatine. Thus, claiming 5th overall. Additionally, Silver presented a much needed boost to Clan morale early on in the conflict, her sheer numbers amazed and wowed new and old members alike. We praise her for her dedication and endurance through this war.<br> <br> Lastly, this member has served as the Knight Class Envoy of Scholae Palatinae with precision and excellence seldom few could ask for. She has helped in the creation of new Clan Promotion Guidelines, re-editing the series of Welcome and Follow-Up letters, creation of a new Envoy website (http://rasilvenaira.org/Envoys1.html). For all of her time and commitment, we hereby endorse this award.<br> <br> Consul Dakari Tamalar<br> Proconsul Braecen Kunar<br>

Dark Jedi Knight Raken has proven over the last two months to be one of the most active and dedicated Clan Plagueis members. Raken's dedication and effort was displayed in the Great Jedi War where he finished first in Clan Plagueis and ninth overall in the Dark Brotherhood. Raken received an unprecedented level of praise for his fiction entries and proved to be one of the top level writers in the Dark Brotherhood. <br> <br> In addition to Raken's unbelievable efforts in the Great Jedi War, he has contributed to Clan Plagueis with two major projects. The first was a Google Group Userguide designed to offer a beginner full knowledge of how to use the usergroups and why we use the usergroups. This guide can be found at: http://plagueis.darkjedibrotherhood.com/googlegroups.php.<br> <br> The second major project that Raken worked on for Clan Plagueis was the Battle Team restructure. This 10 page document details the the purpose and structure of the Clan Plagueis Battle Teams. It will serve as a guide for Clan Summits and Battle Team Leaders for years to come in Plagueis. <br> <br> Raken has proved to be one of the Best members Clan Plagueis has had in a long time. Please award him the Sapphire Blade for efforts above and beyond the call of duty.

Fresh, I want to tell you how grateful I am that you took over when I disappeared. I know it wasn’t easy for someone like you who was just a normal member one day and asked to take the helm of the house the next. When I came back you weren’t harsh on me for my sudden abandonment but instead wondered if I wanted to do anything to help the house again. I’m sure you did a fine job keeping things in order during your time as QUA and allowing me to try again is something I’ll never forget.<br> <br> Although you’ve gone back to being another member of Dinaari I’m pleased that you’ll still be around from time to time. Without your participation in the GJW we may not have made it. I think that plus your assistance for taking over the house when I left is worthy of a Sapphire Blade. Thank you Fresh<br> <br> Kraval Novir<br> QUA of Dinaari<br> <br> <br> Hey Jives, you rock man. For five months or so you took up the position of leader of Dinaari once more and gave it some old school style with simple concepts, easy and fun events, and direct contact. You pushed your members, your fellow staff, and yourself. Thanks to you we had the basics, plot, and eventually did the Clan Feud with Arcona. You jumped in the Feud and this War as any other member you’d expect too. I know you didn’t have time to do that much in the War, but you did do a few events and then passed the torch to Kraval and Odium. I’m very appreciative of your leadership, your advice, and your friendship.<br> <br> Take this Sapphire Blade as our thanks for your efforts to the Clan during the Sixth Great Jedi War and your service leading House Dinaari. Congrats!<br> <br> For Taldryan,<br> <br> Obelisk Exarch Duga Taldrya Arkarso<br> Consul and Son of Clan Taldryan<br> Planetary Viceroy of Karufr

I've never recommended anyone for a Sapphire Blade, mostly because I'm incredibly stingy when it comes to medals, but after talking to a lot of people, it occurred to me that the Great Jedi War would give me probably my only opportunity each year to award this medal. Therefore I would like to recommend that the Sapphire Blade be awarded to Obelisk Templar Lucius. I am recommending this under the assumption that Kaiann will not be rewarding the Great Jedi War MVPs.<br> <br> Lucius earned more points during the Great Jedi War than anybody in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. That alone should earn him a Sapphire Blade, considering how much work went into achieving that.<br> <br> He participated in 20 events and earned 2001 points. That accounts for about 15% of the Clan's total. It is remarkable when you think about it. Most of his points came from his multiplayer gaming, where he played so many games it's almost ridiculous. Most people would get tired playing what must have been hundreds of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy games, but he did. He even played so many team games, including with myself, and he proved helpful to people like me who aren't the best at those games.<br> <br> This was a long Great Jedi War, and when other members who started off strongly burned out, Lucius did not. He kept on going until the end, including a strong showing in the pinball event.<br> <br> I know this isn't that long, but I think Lucius's performance speaks for itself.<br> <br> Dark Adept Manesh Sadow<br> Consul of Clan Naga Sadow<br> <br> *****<br> <br> When this GJW started, I figured we'd get dominated by Taldryan. In the end, we lost by 300 points. Yet that loss wasn't a defeat, it was a victory. Lucius led Naga Sadow, and the Brotherhood at large in points, gaining himself the title of MVP of the Sixth Great Jedi War. His constant gaming was an inspiration to every member of this clan, and he even managed to find ways to participate in other events. His contributions not only to our points gain, but just the morale of the clan, is what has made Lucius worthy of this award. May I be the first to say, You Freakin Rocked the GJW Lucius! Congratz, on an award well earned!<br> <br> ~SW Derev Niroth, QUA of HMR

I am honored to request a Sapphire Blade for SBM Aabsdu for his outstanding activity and contributions to Clan Plagueis. Aabsdu's activity and participation in the DB has been wide ranging going from a member of the GMRG as a CRU to serving in the PA as a ORCL to participating in the ACC as a CL3. On top of this he has served in consecutive escalating positions of responsibility in Clan Plagueis going from Aedile of HEK to QUA of HEK and now finally as PCON of Clan Plagueis. Aabsdu's ranked in as the third overall scorer for Plagueis in the GJW despite holding a leadership position in the Clan and working on multiple projects. His most recent projects have included the restructuring of the Plagueis Battle Teams and the Creation of a Plagueis Battle Team Document. In addition to recreating the Battle Teams Aabsdu oversaw the creation of a standardized award system and a Clan Calendar on the Plagueis Website. Aabs has had his hand in over 10 projects in the last month competely helping restructure Plagueis Policy. In addition to this, his personal activity has been unbelievable. Over the course of the last several months Aabsdu has taken four SA Courses, been awarded 1x Crescent with Sapphire Star, 3x Crescent with Emerald Star, 2x Crescent with Quartz Star, 3 Cluster's of fire, and a Dark Side Scroll. <br> <br> Please award SBM Aabsdu the Sapphire Blade for his outstanding support and contributions to Clan Plagueis and the Dark Brotherhood.

Shadow, thank you for what you did during the GJW. Doing fourteen of the events is a pretty good amount and placing in two of them is even better. The advice you gave to the summit about how to do the RO helped insure that we took second place, only losing to CNS due to sheer number of posts. You’re return from retirement is a welcome one and I hope that you stick around for the time being.<br> <br> Kraval Novir<br> QUA of Dinaari<br> <br> <br> Shadow, you rocked during this War. You came back to the Clan and fought for us in the Feud, doing well there and now here in another GJW. You participated in 14 events, took 1st and 2nd in two of those, as well as two other placements. Overall you came out 13 out of 250 participants on the MVP List, that’s awesome. Of course without your help we would not have won this war. More importantly to me you came up and directed the Clan Run-on during the second half or so of the War. This was much needed and I think helped us place as well as we did in that event. Another notable thing is you jumped on the mailing list a few times letting the members know what was up with the Run-ons, reminding about event endings, and new stuff. You can’t take the leader out of you once you go back to being just a member. <br> <br> Really though, your devotion to Taldryan has never wavered and you have been there when the Clan needed the help. We all appreciate it and hope you stick around and relax with us some! Take this Sapphire Blade as our thanks for your efforts to the Clan during the Sixth Great Jedi War. Congrats!<br> <br> For Taldryan,<br> <br> Obelisk Exarch Duga Taldrya Arkarso<br> Consul and Son of Clan Taldryan<br> Planetary Viceroy of Karufr

Troutrooper has put forward another excellent performance to help carry Tarentum to her placing in this latest Great Jedi War. His participation in over a dozen events earned Tarentum a large percentage of her overall points over 20%. This single handed devotion to helping his Clan succeed fits nicely into the description of the circumstances of a Grand Cross “Service to one's Clan through competition”. As such and as a token of my gratitude I hereby award you this medal TT. Thanks.<br> <br> Welsh<br>

Note: This medal was upgraded to a Sapphire Blade per subsequent request by Welshman - MAA Kaek

Another session of activity review is over and once more Melkor excelled. His performance during the last half of this war was once more a beacon and inspiration for many and this coupled with his excellent attitude and statesmanship make him a person most worthy of this award. He, along with a couple of other members, carried this Clan through the GJW and barring that fact he has only just recently ascended to the ranks of Equites this recc would be one for his promotion to SW, regardless I hope that this medal is a worthy enough substitute for you Melkor, know that you have deserved this award and have succeeded in making one Master exceedingly happy and proud :) <br> <br> Welshman<br>

Note: This medal was upgraded to a Sapphire Blade following a subsequent request from Welshman - MAA Kaek

Three months ago I appointed KP Orzon as Envoy of Clan Plagueis. Since that time Orzon has completely energized the Clan Plagueis Envoy System and the Master/Student Program in Plagueis. <br> <br> Orzon sends letters to each and every apprentice upon their arrival in Clan Plagueis. He continues to send these new members letters with guidance on how to gain promotions until they reach Dark Jedi Knight. During this time he also assigns and appoints masters for those PRT+ who desire a master.<br> <br> Orzon has rewritten the Plagueis Master/Student Program, the Plagueis Promotion Guidelines, The Plagueis Envoy system, and the Plagueis DJK+ promotion guideline. His hard work and dedication has paid enormous dividends for Clan Plagueis and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole. <br> <br> In the last Envoy evaluation Clan Plagueis finished first in new member efficiency when guiding members to the Rank of PRT. Not only did the Plagueis new member numbers finish first, but they doubled several other clans percentages. Plagueis owes this success to the dedication and hard work of Orzon.<br> <br> Orzon continues to push his Envoys harder and harder to make sure Clan Plagueis has an indoctrination system like no other in the Brotherhood, his efforts thus far have proven him to be successful. Please award Orz the Sapphire Blade on behalf of a greatful Clan Plagueis.

After consideration of the past record of this member, the following medal has been approved as recommended:<br> <br> The Codex of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood clearly states that the Sapphire Blade is awarded for: “Consistent service to one's Clan or Order which does not render recognition until seen as a whole. It is often awarded as a medal for multiple services over a long period of time.” Over the period of the last couple years, Sith Battlelord Vally Tamalar has been in and out of service to Clan Scholae Palatinae, starting as a Tetrarch, moving on Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco and later House Dorimad Sol, and eventually becoming Consul of the Clan. During these times he has been a great motivator, a great help, and a great source of guidance to the Clan. He always led by example and a quick look of his History Outline will solidify that statement.<br> <br> It is my opinion that Clan Scholae Palatinae has never appropriately thanked Vally for all that he has done for us. He was a true leader when leadership was what the Clan needed most, and his efforts are still talked about to this day. He pushed us to be better than we thought we were, and rewarded us in kind for our efforts. He showed us what pride in the Clan was about, and taught us what a strong family could look like and do for a House/Clan. We are eternally grateful for his dedication and loyalty, and it is high time that we show him. I recommend that Vally is awarded with the Sapphire Blade for consistent service to Clan Scholae Palatinae which have drove us on and inspired more of us to be better Leaders. If anyone in this Clan is deserving of such an honor it is him, and I both congratulate him on his award, and thank him for all of the work that he has put into this Clan.<br> <br> - SW Brujah Tamalar
