There is so much more I could say about how great Shadow Nighthunter is but these are just a few examples to prove how much value she brings to the house.

Shadow Nighthunter is the pulsating blood that keeps our operations together. No matter what comes up in her life outside of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, she always aims high to keep our Battle Team, our House, and our Clan a huge priority. She looks upon her roles here with pride, and understands fully the responsibility that she carries. Such a rare determined soul is hard to find. She has such a big heart for her students, as well as her fellow Battleteam members, House members, and Clan members. She is always asking what more she can do for all of us. Congratulations, Shadow. Your hard work has paid off! So proud of you, Master.

Shadow has made a great comeback to the DB and has proven to be a great member of our Clan and our House. The most experienced of the "Excidium golden girls" has gone beyond her peers to take a step forward and create Excidium's Battleteam Tacitus Athanasius (which, by the way, takes its name from a competition she organized).

Shadow is always helping Excidium as a leader by creating funny and meaningful competitions, and when she's not helping the clan she's doing a lot of stuff, being one of the most participative members of our House, if not the most. The amount of accomplishments that she has achieved in so little time speaks by itself, and I think that no one in our House deserves this award more than her.

Congratulations Shadow, it's a pleasure to help awarding such hard work and commitment for the club.

I am excited to award Shadow Nighthunter with a Steel Cross today. This merit medal symbolizes a member’s dedication to assisting the Quaestor and Aedile as well as being a mentor to others. Both tasks fully describe the tremendous work she does as the Battle Team Leader of Tacitus Athanasius.

Since Shadow’s last recognition, she has participated in 34 competitions, (co)organized 9 competitions, finished 3 ACC Battles, penned 1 Fiction Activity (1179 words!), passed 3 Shadow Academy courses, and earned 1 Dark Side Degree. In the same amount of time, she has collected several awards: 10 Crescents (1 Cr-R, 6 Cr-A, 1 Cr-S, 2 Cr-E), 14 Clusters of Ice, 5 Clusters of Earth, 15 Clusters of Graphite, and 1 Scroll of Indoctrination. In addition, she has served as the Battle Team Leader of House Excidium’s silent killers for over five months. I will allow Alara to detail her work, but I will say that I have been impressed with her promptness, the quality of her work, and the true compassion in which she operates as a leader. Truly, I believe the Dark Brotherhood would be a more active club if we possessed more leaders like Shadow; she is patient, she is thorough, she exceeds expectations, she is member-oriented, and she asks for nothing in return.

Thank you for helping our members find the best versions of themselves. Your commitment to seeing each member is cared for is most impressive. And I cannot wait until the day I can promote you for being such a vital element of our House and Clan. Keep up the amazing effort!

It is a humbling pleasure and honor to recognize Shadow Nighthunter, my dearest friend and master, with her own Steel Cross. Shadow Nighthunter is one of the most loyal, committed, and wise members I have the privilege of working with. Her compassion, yet stern exhortation is what fuels the Battle Team Tacitus Athanasius for the overflowing activity it brings to House and Clan. She puts her best foot forward in every case with every member to ensure they are being well educated and taken care of.

She has penned articles for both members and Summit leaders to look over when developing skills in character and in leadership. She shares her wealth of knowledge to all through this, and through consistent presence on Telegram.

She’s always there for her subordinates, even if that means sacrificing her own time and sleep to do so. If there is anyone on this earth that has been sent to encourage and strengthen others, it is most definitely Shadow. Though she may be a silhouette of the night IC, she is a shining star who helps others learn to shine their own lights OOC. A wise man once said ‘true leaders are not those in the front, but those who are alongside others, encouraging all to work together towards a common goal. Shadow Nighthunter is a perfect example of this definition.

She constantly offers aid and guidance to her members when it comes to getting them to promotion and leadership roles they desire. Her hard work on the Tacitus Athanasius Wiki holds evidence of her detail and organization. She even designs quest and mission prompts for each TA initiate when they desire to join the Battle Team, and pens a special story of their introduction to the ranks of Silent Death Citadel upon their response. She keeps an eye on her members’ growth, and looks for opportunity to build into the minds of her fellow assassins.

Shadow, I am so so proud and so awestruck at the role model you are for the Clan. Not only are you activity records exuberant, but your passion and determination to make this website a better and more active place speak much louder than any amount of text I can record. Thank you for your hard work and consistent, eager spirit that you provide for our House daily. In regards to this, I offer you a *Steel Cross. It’s been an honor to work under you and alongside you.

Primary reason

Warlord Shadow Palpatine Nighthunter has always been a fantastic servant to Clan Scholae Palatinae, serving as the Consul until recently, and now residing within House Caliburnus. Since her last recognition, she worked tirelessly for the final two months of her Consulship, pushing the Clan to greater levels of activity, and guiding others towards success via Discord. During this time as the Consul of Scholae Palatinae, she organized and ran 5 competitions, and co-organized another 7.

But a quiet retirement is not what she is looking for! Since her last award, she has completed 24 competitions, completed a long fiction (1676 words), and received a significant quantity of clusters and crescents, which are as follows:

  • Crescent with Ruby Star - 1
  • Crescent with Amethyst Star - 3
  • Crescent with Sapphire Star - 1
  • Crescent with Emerald Star - 2
  • Crescent with Topaz Star - 3
  • Cluster of Ice – 4
  • Cluster of Graphite – 5

For her service, and continued activity since stepping down as Consul, I am happy to recommend her for this award. Well done, Shadow!

I believe this is the first award for Shadow since she abdicated the Imperial Throne. As such, I feel it necessary to add a few words regarding Shadow's contribution and this humble award.

Shadow as the Consul when I rejoined CSP and what struck me was the relationship she had with all the members. The clan had a sense of family and rallied around Shadow as much as Shadow rallied around them.

In her own quiet way she was the heart of the clan and we were better to have her with us. As Shadow transitioned back to a member of her beloved House Caliburnus she continues to be that little elf popping in seeking her freedom while plodding along with competition submissions and making her impact known.

I'm glad to have her with us still and I'm glad to call her a friend. I anticipate we'll see some really great things from her soon as she continues to make an impact on Scholae Palatinae.
