Greetings,

Today I get a chance to honor a member of the Dark Council who has been a staple of constant service over the years. Trev has been around, working toward the betterment of the DB for a long time. He is constantly looking for ways to improve the club, and always has a unique take on how the club should be advancing.

More recently, Trev has engulfed himself in two projects of vital importance to the DB. The first, re-writing the Dark Side Compendium, will take the Brotherhood to a fictional level that it has never been. Trev has been working on a solid background for the club and is in the process of re-working the Compendium to be our fictional anchor.

The second project has been the Dark Covenant. This Covenant will be a starting point for DB policy and will be an important item in the future of the club. Trev wrote a twenty-page document that encompassed the structure of the entire DB. Despite the fact that we have cut out a lot of the text due to a change in the idea, Trev's imprint is still present on the document. He spent a long time on it and deserves our gratitude for that.

It is my pleasure, then, to award Trev with his very own Emerald Dagger.

Thanks, Trev, for all that you do. Lord Cotelin

Overlord Malik Sadow has been serving as Consul of Clan Naga Sadow for a whole year now, well almost - as March 10th it'll be a year, and in that time has tirelessly strived to improve the clan. I have to admit that he's been overlooked for far too long. His contributions to the clan have greatly improved it and now with his former CON, Xanos Sadow, as his PCON we can but only wait to see how far he can bring the clan. He is an example to the members of the clan as a leader. So, for all of his hard work, for over a substantial period of time contributing to the growth and functionality of CNS - I hereby reccommend that he be awarded an Emerald Dagger.

Signed

His Excellency, Overlord Tron Sadow The Emissary

==

Malik has gone for 9 months without any form of reward, even though he's been Consul for nearly a year now. He has been put up with a lot during that time, but never has been really rewarded for it.

Under his guidance, Clan Naga Sadow turned into the clan that finished second in the Krath Rite of Supremacy. Malik had no small part in that. The Rite of Supremacy is only the conclusion of a long time of hard work, however.

When I was hired as Proconsul, there was a lot of work to do. Before that, I was the only Quaestor left in a clan with three houses, so we had our work layed out for us.

We closed one house, moving those in there into another, since we no longer could sustain three houses. Then, we changed the entire clan to a Multi Order system. Being the first clan in the entire brotherhood to move back to this system, there was no previous knowledge of any hooks and sharp edges. But even though we lost more then one good member, the clan came out stronger.

All this could not have been achieved without Malik giving his quiet lead. He might not appear as a real active leader, but looks are deceiving. He really is active, and working to better the clan. For all his work, I think he deserves this reward finally. Congrats, Malik.

KE Korras Aquillarum, OHC, and former CNS PCON

For service as Consul of Exar Kun for over a year and a half. Khan was a dedicated leader and his help and guidance was a pleasure to have around. - Jac

Via Telona: Pyralis has been a driving force of activity for the past year. He has always been there to create things for members who ask and he's taken initiative to make things when people don't ask. He has great motivational skills which he used extensively during the GJW and still continues to use them to spur members to be active. He's more than willing to help new members get the hang of the games and how we submit scores. He's even willing to help old members learn new tricks in the games. He just gives and gives yet for all he's done he has never once asked for anything in return. He gets yelled at, berated, and still he continues to do his best at projects that are given to him. He is truly a great person to have in the clan and in the DB. Even though I don't know what all he's done in the past, I know he'll be there in the future working his butt off and not asking for anything in return. He's a great roll model for the other members of the DB. He deserves much more than a simple thank you.

Via Merlance: I feel that Pyralis is worthy of an Emerald Dagger for a number of reasons. He has long been a valuable member of the Brotherhood, and has demonstrated consistently that he has the ability to lead, he has served faithfully as Headmaster of the Shadow Academy, has been extremely active in the recent Great Jedi War (both in gaming and in compiling data), and has been a tremendous resource overall to his house and clan. Additionally, Pyralis has been a wonderful teacher, indoctrinating me into the ways of the brotherhood, and has shown infinite patience in answering my questions. Also, his insightful ways have made me more skilled in Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast. Overall, I expect Pyralis to continue being a great teacher and friend.

Via Bloodfyre Just wanted to take a moment, and mention something on my mind. I think Pyralis is deserving of some note of recognition for the hard work he put into trying to help get the Order and Clan requirements done for the Powers projects. Where I had started to struggle, P picked it up, and ran with me, carrying me through my hurdles, that he was excited about jumping over. He helped complete it in a timetable that, I believe, fits your desires better, and I have to say, he was a phenominal help through all of it, and came up with a system that I think will be awesome.

Via Jac As he was during and after the split, Dark Side Adept Pyralis has returned to his rightful place in the Brotherhood as a dominating figure. Always willing to contribute to the greater good, Pyralis has made himself indispensable in so many aspects of the Brotherhood. He has joined Clan Tarentum, where during the Vendetta he was a force to be reckoned with, pulling in nine Novae. He further made himself invaluable by constantly driving his counterparts to better performance. Where many people don't get to see Pyralis in action, however, is in his work as Magistrate to the Grand Master. Pyralis has always been a great advisor to Lords Cotelin and Forefox, but since his return to the Brotherhood he has been even more invaluable. Pyralis has a great sense for the future and has been willing to give his take on the most serious matters. He has further helped more than any one person should by compiling data and statistics on Vendetta participation and awards. Pyralis, through his hard work, has saved the Grand Master hours and hours of toil. His actions are appreciated more than he knows. For his service to the greater good, the Grand Master has awarded Pyralis with a Emerald Dagger.

For the past months there have been very few people that have been able to match Kaiann's levels of activity, initiative and helpfulness. Never one to shy away from a task, Kaiann always seems to have the resources needed to take something to the next level. The Independence Games were a prime example of his ingenuity. Kaiann sets the bar high for himself, delivers accordingly and in doing so Spoils the members of the DB. Kaiann has been a great asset to the DGM in recent times, helping with GJW grading under intense deadlines and working in stride with other members to see that everything goes accordingly.

This Dark Council member is ambitious and inventive, a truly unique combination of skills. Kaiann always has a drive about him that lends credence to the idea that he is one of the greatest members this brotherhood has witnessed.

As he is a pillar of the DC today, a hard worker, and good advisor, it is my pleasure now to award to Kaiann Yetaru Entar an Emerald Dagger.

For his excellent service as EHDB Obelisk High Commander - GM Khaen

He has done alot for the DB, the work he has done in the past few months - along with JaM3z - in leading Arcona exceptionally well, shows what an excellent job he has done as Consul. A member of the Brotherhood who has shown consistent loyalty, innovation and activity in his position, Mejas has helped the Brotherhood through it's ups and downs. His work with the herald's office has been exceptional and the activity levels of Arcona are an inspiration to all clans. Without a doubt Mejas has the Brotherhood's best interests at heart
