To whom it may concern: Today Scholae Palatinae sees its newest Knight rise. Anahorn Dempsey has completed all of her final trials and is now ready to advance forward as a proud strong member of Scholae Palatinae.

In the 28 says since reaching Jedi Hunter, Dempsey has flown through her trials with ease. She organized the DJB wide "Crystal Fire", which featured a TIE fighter mission she created. She has earned a Maven in Galactic History. Her activity has earned her a Anteian Cross. She has 2 Ruby, 2 Amethyst, 1 Sapphire Stars, 215 Clusters of Fire, and 5 Clusters of Ice. She participated in 20 different competitions, with 9 being from the recently ended GJW. There I was able to see first hand her great abilities as she helped our BP team secure 4th place. She has done some great fictional work, and has completed a great Character Wikipedia page.

It is a great privilege to say Dempsey is ready for Knighting. I know she will continue to go far in this club, and I can't wait to see what she does next. Congratulations Dark Jedi Knight Dempsey. Drinks are on you!

Dempsey has accomplished enough to show that she is ready to construct her lightsaber and take on the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. I got the opportunity to read through her fiction during the Great Jedi War, and the mysterious character being developed on the Wiki and I really look forward to what stories lay ahead and her contributions to them. Including already running a DJB wide competition utilizing the always popular TIE Fighter platform that has seen a resurgence recently. Between her gaming, character development, and participation in competitions she has more than earned this promotion. Congratulations Dempsey, drinks are you on!

I'd like to say congratulations to my apprentice on this elevation to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Many times over the past 8 years, I have been given the more needy apprentices, but this was definitely not the case when it came to Dempsey. I had known her for many years before she decided to come and join the Dark Brotherhood and Scholae Palatinae, and I knew that her work was exemplary. She definitely didn't disappoint when it came to her work here either. I gave her a list of things to do at each rank, and she came through with flying colors and in minimum time. I am extremely proud of what she has accomplished, and I can only hope that she will continue through the ranks of the Equites just as she has done with her time amongst the journeymen.

Since joining our House in September of last year, Aaleeshah has proven herself to be a capable and impressive Jedi. Her steady rise through the ranks has impressed the Summit, and it is with great pleasure that I endorse her promotion to Jedi Knight.

In the time since her last elevation, she has participated in eight competitions, earning herself an Anteian Cross for her efforts. She has earnt two Pendants of Blood, a Crescent with an Amethyst Star, and accumulated 83 Clusters of Fire. She has completed a further five Shadow Academy courses during this time, achieving a Dark Maven in Philosophy in the process.

Having now met all of her requirements in the Journeyman trials, it is time for her to rise up as a full Knight of House Odan-Urr. Congratulations, Jedi Knight Aaleeshah!

Mandalorian Darcy Avarik, 2015-02-19 00:54:45 UTC

It's a rare thing to promote a Jedi Knight. Most of the members that join the Dark Brotherhood simply fall off the roster. Many stay in the Journeymen class a long, long time before reaching new heights. Aaleeshah is no such Journeyman. She has completed all of her requirements, which include days required in rank, a Shadow academy degree, a Merit medal, two major competition awards (Crescents or Novae), three Pendants of Blood, 75 Clusters of Fire, participation in over 8 competitions, two Shadow Academy courses from the Department Of Leadership Studies, and GMRG Society Rank 4. She has also participated in two Great Jedi War Events and placed 3rd in the Round II Graphics competition, earning herself an Anteian Cross.

For exemplary service, I would like to recommend Aaleeshah for the final step on her Journeyman path, and a new step in her new career in the Dark Brotherhood. Congratulations Jedi Knight Aaleeshah!

Armags is one of my favourite success stories in the Brotherhood. For a very long time, Armags was content, even proud of his status as the DB’s longest running Jedi Hunter. He was content just playing some games with people, and having some fun here and there when time allowed. He enjoyed the community in Taldryan, and he enjoyed gaming with the DB… but that was all he wanted from the place.

Then something changed. Armags decided he wanted to do more, to be more in this club. He decided he wanted to step up, and help people have fun in the DB. Armags decided he wanted to be a leader, and what a job he has done.

Since he stepped up to the plate as Battle team Leader 8 months ago, Armags has been exactly what he wanted to be: a leader. He’s not always been perfect, but he’s tried hard. To me, the ultimate proof of someone who has the ability to be a good leader in the DB is the willingness to admit where they have weaknesses, and step up. Armags has that in spades, and every day he grows stronger as a leader, and every day he becomes more and more proof of the success story that I believe him to be.

I’m not even going to get into the whole list of how active Armags is, or how he participates, or how he creates competitions for others to participate in. I’ll leave the laundry listing to other people. To me, Armags exemplifies what I want in the leaders under my command: the ability to grow, and the willingness to put themselves out of their comfort area to serve their members.

Congratulations on your promotion to Obelisk Templar Armags, you truly deserve it man.

Armags has been one hell of a contributor to Taldryan, was a great Battleteam Leader, and most recently he's been shaping up as a great Aedile too, but my colleagues will cover his leadership and mastering contributions.

In terms of raw activity? Armags has been a beast - as demonstrated by just the boatload of medals he's earned in the past almost year. Since his last promotion in March of 2014, Armags has earned himself a Steel Cross and Anteian Cross, a Seal of Loyalty, six crescents for competition placement, five Pendants of Blood, a Scroll of Indoctrination, a Scroll of the Master, two Clusters of Ice, and a whopping 1469 Clusters of Fire. In addition, Armags has competed in 38 competitions, and has hosted or co-hosted eight competitions.

Armags, this promotion has been a long time coming. Congratulations man!

Howlader Taldrya, 2015-02-15 05:31:44 UTC

Transitioning to a leadership role within a Clan that you've never been apart of is never easy, I firmly believe that having Armags as my AED is what made my transition pain free. He exemplifies great leadership, like Yacks spoke to above he is always willing to go out of his comfort zone to either help the younger members of the House or host a large intra-House competition to help the Clan prepare for the upcoming Great Jedi War. He has been invaluable to me by being someone I can bounce ideas off and expect honest counsel in return.

In addition to his leadership ability, Armags has entered Beast Mode when it comes to activity. There are very few competitions that Armags does not participate in especially when it comes to gaming. He is one of the most active gamer's in Clan Taldryan and the Brotherhood as a whole.

I've been waiting to write this recommendation for a long time, it is truly well deserved. Congratulations man on the well deserved promotion to Obelisk Templar.

Like all of the above speakers I would like to emphasize what an easy to go with person Armags is. His foremost trait is that he is highly reliable, someone you can be sure of that if you give him a job, the job will get done while at the same time always having an eye open to things that might become interesting to other members as well as things already implemented but without the desired success where he steps up and brings them up to the responsible person without hesitation.

These traits coupled with his outstanding activity and leadership performance, first as BTL of the Harbingers and now as Aedile of Dinaari, as well as his mentoring capabilities should serve as example for everyone aiming for becoming a leader within the Brotherhood in the future.

Armags, congratulations on your promotion and welcome to the ranks of Equites!
