I am honoured to be recommending Achilleus for his promotion to the rank of Equite One. He has been an active member of Clan Arcona and House Galeres for a while now, showing his devotion to the Brotherhood, Clan Arcona and HOuse Galeres for a while now. Helping to expand his knowledge of how the Brotherhood works as he continues to progress as a member inside of House Galeres.

Since his last elevation he has continued to show a strong presence in the Brotherhood, participating in every type of competition from Gaming to Fiction, as well as showing himself inside of the Crusade and helping Arcona show its strong presence in the event. In total Achilleus has managed to participate in a very impressive thirty-three competitions, going and giving his best to any competition without hesitation, he throws himself into the deep end all the time and continues to push forward with ease. For all of his effort and time put into competition he has managed to get an impressive amount of Medals, these include: One Gold Nova, One Crescent with Sapphire Star, Two Crescents with Topaz Star and One Crescent with Emerald Star.

He continues to strive to prove himself in other areas of the Brotherhood. Recently taking himself to the gaming scene showing his ability to adapt to any part of the Brotherhood, he has managed to wrack up an impressive forty Clusters of Fire. Achilleus continues to show he is willing to adapt by then taking himself to the fictional side of the club, interacting with other members and expanding his character inside of a fictional base, for all of this hard work and effort we have seen him wrack up Eleven Clusters of Ice. Due to all his work and participating inside of Crusade events, he not only helped Arcona earn placement inside of it, but also participated with everything he had, putting in effort time and commitment to the club. His effort and devotion was rewarded with him earning twelve seals of the Crusader. As well as all this, his real life time caught up with him recently, but even with all of this hard he still managed to turn up and enter into the Crusade, helping Arcona achieve the placement that it got. Proving dedication and devotion to this club that was exceptional.

Wanting to expand our knowledge of the brotherhood is something that all of us take pride in, this is no exception when it comes to Achilleus. In his spare time he continues to bombard the Shadow Academy with Exams, expanding his knowledge of the universe and the Brotherhood as a whole. Since making Knight he has passed all of the Journeymen Hall exams, expanding his knowledge of the way the Brotherhood system works, as well as taking another five exams on top of this. He continues to strive for more understanding inside the Brotherhood and shows his willingness to put in the time to do so.

Congratulations on all of your hard work, effort and time you have put into this club Achilleus. You are a great part of Clan Arcona and House Galeres. Thank you for everything you have done and keep up the hard work in the future. All that being said I look forward to seeing what you do next, and working with you.

Achilleus -- Incendus, as I still know him -- is one of the most Arcona-focused members I know. We recently ran a competition to name our new NSD, and one of Achilleus' suggestions was a finalist. His name was not chosen, but rather than be upset about it, Achilleus was excited just to have been involved in the process, to have been able to help out. His submission then went on to inspire the name of a new fighter squadron, instead. This anecdotal example is representative of Achilleus' approach on the whole, which characterized his ascension to Knight, and will continue to serve him well throughout his career. He jumped head-first into the Clan run-on before the Great Jedi War, kicked more than the requisite amount of ass during the War itself, and is constantly looking for ways to help out.

Thanks for all that you do for us, Gage!

Proconsul of Clan Arcona

Although my one-to-one relationship ended when Achilleus, then known as Incendus reached his Knighthood, I have always kept a close eye on his continuing DB career.

Achilleus is fairly new to Soulfire, but immediately jumped into both the House Run-on, and the Clan Run-on that has succeeded it, where his posts have helped his Battleteam tell their own compelling story. Considering how hard it can be to enter a Run-on from a standing start, I am exceedingly impressed with how well he has done. Add to that the fact that he has contributed to his clan’s efforts in the Eleventh Great Jedi War with an entry in Phase 1’s Fiction event, despite the arrival of a new baby sister, and you get an idea for just how much time Achilleus has put into this club recently!

Welcome to the Equites, Gage. I’m sure this won’t be your last promotion.

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!

Lord Idris Adenn, 2015-02-19 05:44:21 UTC

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!

Lord Evio Nezsa, 2015-02-18 22:19:40 UTC

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.

General Kell Palpatine Dante, 2015-02-19 05:38:10 UTC

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!
