Moloch has returned to activity in the DJB for the Crusade. But he also did half of his work in the time before his return two months ago. He had already taken the Leadership Exam, earned a Merit Medal and been on the forums. In HSP, he visited IRC, ran a competition in the HSP Summer Games, placed with a Silver Nova in Round 3 and completed the rest of the ten competitions. He is a solid writer and will add to the talent of HSP. Mayda Ferium Moloch’s Master

Since returning to the Brotherhood back in May, Moloch has become an outstanding member. Balancing a full real life workload and doing things for the brotherhood can be a hard task to accomplish but Moloch continues to be a reliable member for Scholae Palatinae. Upon returning to the DB he picked up where he left off in terms of working toward Jedi Hunter. Today I am honored to recommend he be advanced to this rank. Moloch has participated in over 10 competitions, including several during the Dark Crusade. His efforts even helped HSP earn a second place with the Wikipedia event in Phase One Chapter 3. He completed the Leadership Fundamentals before his time as a rogue. He has placed in a competition twice, once in the wiki event for the crusade and again back in 2007 for the Competition Project: RESURRECTION. He has earned a Dark Cross as well. Finally most recently he created one of the competitions for the 2013 Summer Games here in HSP (The Judecca Triathelon). This coupled with his finishing the time restraint on getting Jedi Hunter, as well as visiting the house channel on IRC and being registered on the forums means that Moloch has completed the requirements needed to advance. We are very glad that Moloch decided to return to the Brotherhood and came to join us here in Scholae Palatinae. I look forward to continuing to see him advance in this club. Congratulations Moloch, Drinks are on you! Xen’Mordin Vismorsus QUA of Scholae Palatinae

Kanis was exhausted, but his muscles had become accustomed to battling at his wits end over the course of the past year in the Crusade. His body was no longer raw, but an instrument of combat.

Marick Arconae waited at the entrance to the Armory door, hands casually clasped behind his back. His cerulean eyes watched the two as they sparred back and forth. It was not long ago that Fet’ai’narun had completed the trials of her own. It was encouraging seeing her turn around and help two others rise towards the challenge as well.

The Proconsul watched how Kanis moved and could see that the Jedi Hunter had learned a lot throughout his battles in the Dark Crusade. Marick realised that it must have been hard for a new recruit to hit the ground running as his Clan was constantly going to war for conquest of far away planets. And yet, Kanis had endured, and continued to fight for his brothers and sisters in Arcona. It was inspiring, to say the least.

Marick raised a hand slowly as he approached. The two Arconans broke away, both bowing with respect towards their Proconsul. Kanis stumbled slightly but managed to recover. Feta shook her head silently as they both looked up.

“Kanis Da’uul,” the Arconae spoke calmly. “It has been brought to my attention by Andrelious that you were responsible for quite some damage against the One Sith down on Svolten. For your bravery, and your efforts so far, Wuntila has deemed you are ready to accept the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, should your mentor so agree.”

Kanis looked over at his Master. Feta nodded her head and offered a small, knowing smile.

Just then, a tall Anzat entered the room carrying something in his hands that was wrapped in a cloth. Legorii Kryotech Entar, Quaestor of House Qel-Droma looked tired from the battle of Svolten but his crimson eyes shone with pride.

“Congratulations, young one,” he said as he extended the cloth towards the Jedi Hunter.

Kanis gingerly reached out for the cloth and unwrapped it. Inside was the smooth metallic cylinder that had been his goal from the very beginning. It was a lightsaber, a real lightsaber. Not one of the ugly clunky armor ones he’d become used to. His grin widened from ear to ear as he took the saber and held it towards his body like a child.

“Welcome to Knighthood, Kanis,” Legorii grinned.

“Arcona Invicta,” Marick and Feta replied in unison.

-=x=-

I am delighted to declare that Kanis Da’uul is ready for the coveted rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He has proven himself to be an active, well-rounded member and I feel that he is more than ready to carry his own lightsaber.

First of all, Kanis has completed a quality Wiki article, being that of his own character, as well as helped with Arcona’s winning Bhargebba article. This shows that he has a keen interest in RP and character development. He has also completed the 42 day time requirement for his next promotion.

In addition to this, Kanis has shown that both taking part in, and running competitions is another strength; he has taken part in 15 competitions in his relatively short DJB career, Fourteen of those being in the Dark Crusade alone! He has organised two events as well, one during the Independence Games and the other in the form of IRC trivia. (Howie got 3rd, sad panda).

Kanis’ consistent, excellent activity has been rewarded with an Anteian Cross, whilst also receiving a Legion of the Scholar for having run a trivia as well. He also completed a 10-page fiction that has been approved by his Proconsul as substantial character development.

For his Summit Task, he created a 1-page survey journal answering 5 Questions posed to him by the Arcona Summit. The questions were geared towards getting feedback from Journeyman going through the trials to get to DJK while in the middle of a year-long Vendetta. The document has been sent to the MAA staff for confirmation. This information is invaluable to the future development of how Arcona handles its new members. He also has been great in recruiting two members: Frimlin and Marrek, from another Role-Playing club. In a volunteer club revolving around its members, Kanis’ recruiting has been a huge boon to helping Arcona continue to develop further.

For all his work and dedication, I am honoured to welcome Kanis as Arcona’s newest Dark Jedi Knight.

-Andrelious J. Inahj Clan Rollmaster

But wait there is more!

Kanis has gone a remarkable 14/23 in the Dark Crusade for participation. In the last two planets alone he has accounted for 10 entries, 4 on Bhargebba, and all 6 events on Svolten! That includes 4 fictions, a poetry contest, and two-run on posts on top of Graphics efforts as well! His suggestions in his survey have already given me hints as to how to better motivate and work with my members. His feedback has been invaluable.

Kanis is a pleasure to have in Arcona and I look forward to watching him continue to grow.

-Marick Arconae Proconsul Clan Arcona

And just a little more!

Kanis has come a long way since joining Arcona at the start of the Dark Crusade. From keeping himself paced, involved and moving forward even without a master at some points, to making sure I don't forget about whatever we're working on, Kanis has been a wonderful student and a great insight into the journeyman mindset.

I am thrilled to announce that Marrek is once again eligible for promotion.

Since he joined only six days ago, Marrek has been an excellent example to his fellow Journeymen. Firstly, he is among the most active members in #arcona and on Team Speak, where he has already made some new friends, and has been working well with his new master, Montresor. He has also started to develop his character, as can be seen by the fact that he has begun work on his Wiki page. He even completed his character sheet, before the switch to the new website. His newness has also not stopped him from taking part in competitions, of which he has completed five, including three recent IRC trivia events and two Dark Crusade events. Finally, he has also passed Wiki Basics with an excellent 91%.

Congratulations, Marrek! Qel-Droma and Arcona continue to be impressed. We're lucky to have you, and we hope to continue to help you grow in the Brotherhood.

--Legorii Kryotek Entar, Quaestor of House Qel-Droma

It is my pleasure to forward my student's name, Rangel, for recommendation for promotion to Guardian. Excuse me, I mean Defender. A mark of the Jedi, which Rangel has shown the progress of becoming one and as such I believe he should be raised to the rank of Jedi Defender. Since his last promotion, Rangel has served the necessary time as Protector, been an active member of the House on both the mailing lists - sparking conversation and in turn activity from his fellow members, and taken the Sith CORE exam (since no Consular one exists). Aside from this he has participated in his five mandatory events ranging from the IGs, to the recent HOU month event known as the Fall of New Tython, to this last round of the Dark Crusades. I think it is worth noting that not only did Rangel complete this events, but his efforts in the IGs shall him placing first in one of the events as well as later becoming listed as one of the members we were considering for the special forces team. Keep up the great work bud! Aside from this, my student as been instrumental in helping form the Battleteam's lore, a task I deemed worthy of the 2 pages of the fiction requirement, as well as developing his own fiction in the form of personal fiction as well reasonable effort on his wiki. Finally, he also qualified for the GMRG by completing the GMRG exam, which would round out promotion requirements to the next level. Because of this, I would hereby like to recommend my student for promotion. Congrats Rangel. ~Raiju Kang~

It is my pleasure to recommend Rangel, a PRT in House Odan-Urr to promotion to Defender. Having served the necessary time as PRT within the Brotherhood, Rangel has accomplished many things.

He has completed the Sith Core, unable to complete a Consular Core due to its nonexistence. He also participated in the Dark Crusade and the IGs, On top of this, he also participated in Odan Urr's house event Fall of New Tython, sparking conversation on the mailing list while actively participating.
Rangel has also helped the Knights of Allusis with their lore as well as fleshing out his own character with a two page fiction and starting work on his wiki.

With all this, I recommend Rangel for a promotion. Congrats, Rangel! -Tur'el Sokar

In recent month, Icy has shown very high level of activity. We have seen him stretching towards learning more about various aspects of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, including passing GMRG History course, ACC Basics course and Obelisk Core, as well as completion of his Character Sheet.

In addition to this, Icy has organized one competition during HSP Summer Games - Achieve a Full Belly. During the Games, he has also participated in six events and placed three times, what has earned him Anteian Cross, his very first merit award. Total number of competitions, which he has participated in, is eight, excessing this requirement by three competitions.

The last, but not the least, Icy appeared on the HSP IRC channel and talked to us there. All these merits, including passing the time requirement to advance to a higher rank, convince me that Icy has made his next step to the Knighthood and truly earned the promotion to the rank of Guardian. Congratulations!

<p>I’m delighted to be recommending Kordath Bleu for his promotion to Jedi Hunter. He’s been a brilliant, dedicated, and hardworking member of both Arcona and Galeres in his time here, advancing quickly along the path the Dark Jedi Knight and developing as a member of the Brotherhood. He is an active presence and a friendly face among Arcona, and couldn’t be making his fellows prouder.</p>

<p>In the time since his last promotion, Kordath has been an incredible contributor, participating in the House’s Homecoming events as well as submitting to the Dark Crusade. He received an Anteien Cross, his first merit medal, for his efforts in Homecoming, and placed in several of the Homecoming competitions, earning several different Crescents for his outstanding work. Plus, aside from entering into ten different competitions, he also ran a trivia competition on IRC.</p>

<p>Furthermore, Kordath has not only been active in his participation, but also in the Brotherhood community. He is frequently on mIRC, talking, joking, and interacting with his fellow members and making good friends. He registered for the DJB Forum and has used it to contribute to the General Forces RO in the second phase of the Crusade. And while managing all of this, he has submitted an excellent five-page character fiction, per his promotion requirements. He has also written an additional six page fiction as part of his MAA task to skip the time requirement.</p>

<p>For his effort, dedication, amiability, and the fulfillment of the aforementioned requirements, I am humbled and honored to watch him take on the mantle of his next rank. Congratulations on reaching Jedi Hunter, and well-done, Kordath. I look forward to seeing you advance again very soon, my friend.</p>
