I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,

To whom it may concern:

Dark Jedi Knight Zagro Fenn is one of the top tier members we have in Scholae Palatinae. Whether it be vendetta participation, helping on house projects, or motivating his fellow members, Zagro does it all incredibly well. He is one of the members I know I don’t need to constantly keep an eye on, because he is already plowing on ahead himself.

Zagro has done so much, even just in the six months since reaching DJK, that it is a bit daunting to even talk about. In the GJW he worked on everything but multimedia and gaming. He was an integral part of our “Silver Snakes” 5th place earning run-on team. On the team he was always responsive, quick to act, and an absolute joy to work with as we sculpted our story.

In the finale of HSP’s Looking Home Campaign, Zagro participated in all eleven competitions, and earned himself second place overall. He has participated in at least 60 different competitions since becoming a DJK back in early September. These competitions range from Battleteam, to House, to DJB Wide, to full on vendetta. He has earned some 19 crescents since then as well. These include 2 Ruby stars, 7 Amethyst Stars, 7 Sapphire Stars, and 3 Emerald Stars. He has earned 106 Clusters of Fire, 15 Clusters of Ice, and 2 Pendants of Blood. He earned 4 Seals of the Crusader from the final Fading Light Round, and 7 Seals of Revelation from the GJW. He has earned 5 Scrolls of Foundation and 1 Scroll of the Master for his help in guiding Ulfsark to DJK.

But Zagro does more than just having an amazing activity drive. He works with the house to try to foster more activity. He treats his position as a Battle Team Sergeant with the same level of respect and enthusiasm you would hope to see in someone who was a Consul. He works great with the BTL Lucyeth in helping to drive Acclivis Draco forward. On November 15th, he was also appointed to be a Shadow Academy Professor, now in charge of the CORE Studies hall.

For his outstanding work ethics and dominating activity, I fully recommend Zagro Fenn be promoted to the rank of Krath Priest. Congratulations Zagro! Drinks are on you!

Zagro has been great to work with in Scholae since he joined us, and his energy and passion for what we do is addictive and welcomed. Many other recommendations covered the concrete lists of accomplishments, but I will just say that it is a lot of fun to write with Zagro where he helped drive some truly great ideas into our 5th place Run On in the Great Jedi War. I always enjoy reading every piece of fiction he writes. His creative ideas for his team and the fictional development of Scholae Palatinae. His character is a truly unique one, the Krath slicer, always seeking the information fix, and he does it well. I look forward to many great opportunities to write with him in the future and create future stories, and feel like it’s time to do so with him as an Equite. Congratulations on your promotion Zagro, you earned it, and thanks for all you do.

Lord Evio Nezsa, 2015-02-22 18:23:29 UTC

In the six months since Zagro attained knighthood, it has been a pleasure to see him go from strength to strength. As Battle Team Sergeant, he leads by example with the BTL Lucyeth, pushing his members towards activity even as he competes alongside them. It is this push for activity that has helped HSP to achieve third place in the GJW, as he was a key member of the fifth place run-on team.

Beyond the House, he recently took on duties as the Professor of CORE Studies in the Shadow Academy, not the simplest of courses to preside over when one considers that all journeymen in the Brotherhood must pass at least two courses from the Hall as part of their trials. Furthermore, he has amended his courses in order to improve the Shadow Academy experience for future students.

I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Zagro since he joined the Brotherhood in June last year, and in all that time I’ve only ever known him to give 100%, whether it be a personal project, helping a new member, or helping the DB at large. Therefore I recommend him for the only reward fitting his efforts: promotion to Krath Priest. Welcome to the Equites, Zag, and thank you for everything you do.

Zagro Fenn is a member that displays exemplary performance in anything that he is involved with. He has earned 42 crescents with 19 of them just since his last promotion. This demonstrates his direct effort and dedication that he puts forth with his involvement. He participates in any competition that comes his way whether it is fiction, poetry, graphics, and gaming. The sheer number of events that he participates in is an understatement due to him being so many competitions. He has earned enough clusters of fire to be recognized within the ranks of the GMRG. He is also within the ranks of the Shadow Academy as a current graduate, a rank that very few people are able to obtain. He is there in every aspect of the brotherhood.

In the house, he is a force that cannot be stopped, one of the most active members within the house with his participation. He is a sergeant of the Battleteam which he has proven his worth and my respect as a great member to work with. He took on the roll with stride and no hesitation, bringing in ideas and helping me out with what needs to get done. He has worked with the journeymen of the team to help them with promotion requirements and providing advice. He has taken on an apprentice that has reached knighthood with a scroll of the master to show his role model qualities. He has even taken on another apprentice that has already reached the rank of Jedi hunter. His effort and dedication are demonstrated in the fine work of his students as they progress with his tutorship. He has also taken on a professor position in the academy to further give service back to the brotherhood in his teachings.

Zagro Fenn is a member that anyone would aspire to be and for him to be a part of the Scholae family has and continues to be a joy. I am grateful that he is my sergeant and am looking forward to collaborate with him and see him continue his efforts and be applied across the brotherhood as a well-deserved Equite. Congratulations Zagro and a Great Job!

Zagro Fenn was my battle team sergeant and later my master, his dedication to the BT and House are remarkable. Always thinking of what's best for the members of the unit. It was an honor to be mentored by him on my last steps to knighthood. His energy and levels of participation within the brotherhood varies from fiction, SA courses, gaming activities, etc. It's nice to hear that he will be rewarded for all this. You deserve to join the equites. Drinks on you!

Your apprentice Ulfsark

Ulfsark, 2015-02-22 18:24:33 UTC

Zagro is a relatively new member in Scholae Palatinae, but has maintained a consistent level of activity we hope for in our veterans, let alone our new members. His showing in Great Jedi War was excellent, and as a member of his RO team, I had the pleasure of working with him on a personal level, and was happily surprised at his in depth work and drive. The house is greater for his presence. Well done, Zagro!

Archangel Palpatine, 2015-02-22 18:24:52 UTC

In his time as a Shadow Academy professor, Zagro has revised all seven courses and exams in the Department of Core Studies to fix typos, improve readability, and ensure consistency. He did this quickly and very well - even finding problems that an intensive audit before his appointment did not identify. He is a strong asset for the Academy and the Brotherhood as a whole. Congratulations, Zagro!

Rogue_13, you have successfully passed the Test of Lore and earned the rank of Apprentice. While you may currently be on a shuttle to House Dinaari, I will continue to follow your progress with great interest.

It's not always the people who agree with you the most that are your friends. Malik and I have had more than our fair share of ...we'll say 'lively discussions.' We sometimes get heated. It's a difference of perspective, honestly, and I have always tried to use those discussions to discover the reasons why something is the way it is, to help me not only better understand his position, but also mine. It can be quite frustrating at times, but one has to recognize that people who care deeply about the brotherhood may have differences over policy, but not about how we all want the brotherhood to succeed. It's an important distinction to keep in mind. He's been a steadying factor in CNS for a long time, now, and though he is recently retired from Consul, his calming influence can still be felt. That calm demeanor has cost him some positions, in times when we were looking for aggressive, excited, and revolutionaries. It's kinda fitting that he plays the character that he does, honestly. Unfortunately, it does result in a lot of missed opportunities, and a lot of missed attention. People miss the forest for the trees, focusing on the rising stars, the hyperactive members that are making big waves instead of the guy who is trying to make it so that those young members can be seen. There's a laundry list of people who have come out of Sadow that benefited from his work. I'm one of them, as he was Consul when I first joined. He's done it for more than ten years, at the end of the equite scale. It's time he is recognized for the Elder that he truly is. Thank you, Malik. I look forward to arguing with you later. ;) ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

Herald is a tricky position. It is one of two hard-skill positions in the club. You have to know how to make graphics in order to handle the workload. Socks came into herald after serving as the chief admin person for Orv's short term as herald. Her skills in organization have helped bring the Herald office up from a one or two man operation to a large art department, and one that the Brotherhood readily could use. What most people didn't know is that Socks has been a professional graphic artist for some time now. She's more than capable on her own, and those things that she is not comfortable with yet, she goes after like a bulldog to learn more about. The sea change in how the Herald office operates, it's efficiency, and it's ability to bring more and more people in, train them, and use that newly honed talent for the club has been wonderful, and that transformative work has more than proven that she is ready for promotion to Sith Warlord. Thanks again. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

Dacien has been one of those people who always seem to get overlooked because of their nature. He's not the type to grandstand, not the type to call attention to his work, so it largely gets taken for granted. It's been six years since he got promoted, and since then he has served in myriad clan and house positions, backed up almost everyone on the Dark Council at one point or project, and been the Headmaster for almost two years. Headmaster is one of those critical positions on the Dark Council that doesn't get enough respect by the older generation, since it's been a decade or more since they had to interface with it. But there is a lot of work involved. Repetitive, boring work. Yet, Dacien pushes through on the daily, wrangling staff, trying to improve the new member experience and help capture the imaginations of more and more of those people who hit that join button. That kind of work is critical to the long term success of our club, and setting those habits now helps to ensure that the work will be carried on long after we're all retired. After some discussions between Pravus and I, we've decided that it is time for him to step up and be recognized as a Dark Side Adept. Thank you. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

shornik, 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:

• Begin to outline character history for eventual posting on the Brotherhood Wiki, as approved by House leadership or Master
• Have an approved character sheet on record
• Logon to IRC and visit Clan channel
• Logon to the DJB Voice server
• Pass Dark Brotherhood Basics Shadow Academy course

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

You will go far within this Brotherhood.
