The Kaleesh never saw it coming. One minute, he was meditating, the next, his mask was ripped off and a damp cloth was pressed against his face. He tried to struggle, but a vice-like arm wrapped around his neck. Unable to stop reflex, he sucked in a breath, tasting the noxious tang of chemicals. Sleep found him.

He awoke some time later, with a bandage around his upper arm, which was stinging and felt rubbed raw. Groggily, he felt around until a light came on. His Master and Battleteam Leader was stood by the door to Seshai's quarters, looking smug.

"What happened?" The nonhuman grated out.

"I knocked you out, and gave you a tattoo."

"What?!"

Teroch shrugged and lit a cigarette, taking his time to exhale before responding. "It's a tradition my Dad had - any of his apprentices which made it to Knighthood got Sashar's mark. I figured I may as well continue the tradition."

S'nar processed the words, his mind still groggy from being drugged. "You mean...?"

"Yeah. C'mon, There's some people who want to see you."

I am pleased to declare that Jedi Hunter S`nar Que Seshai is ready for promotion to the prized rank of Dark Jedi Knight. His quick work in getting through the ranks is truly an example for any Arconan Journeyman to follow.

First of all, S`nar has completed both a ten page character fiction and a quality Wiki article, which is his own character’s article page. Both of these show he is skilled when it comes to character development.

S`nar is also incredibly active in gaming, having obtained seventy-seven Clusters of Fire so far with many more on the way. Many of these were achieved through completing an amazing fifteen Old Republic events, helping not just himself but many others within the Brotherhood guild.

His excellent activity is also demonstrated by the fact he has earned both an Anteian Cross and a Dark Cross despite having only joined in April. Furthermore, he has shown himself to be fully aware of the theories behind leadership, having passed both the Leadership Studies (scoring an excellent 97%),and Leadership Fundamentals (in which he scored a perfect 100%) exams. The fact that he also has the Dark Maven in Philosophy degree only further reflects his grasp on various Brotherhood and fictional concepts. S`nar further demonstrated a readiness for leadership by running a trivia in the #arcona IRC channel, for which he recieved a Legion of the Scholar.

Finally, S`nar has completed both a Master-At-Arms assigned task, which was to develop his Battleteam’s Wiki page with a variety of information including its weapons and to create some commando NPCs, and also his summit task, which was to update the Wiki pages relating to Galeres and S.C.E.P.T.E.R.

Congratulations, S`nar. If you keep this pace up, you’ll be an elder by Christmas. ;)

…......................................

I am honoured to be recommending S’nar for Knighthood. He has been an exemplary member of Clan Arcona and House Galeres ever since joining. He is always helping others and the House in anyway possible, proving himself to be both an admirable and exceptional addition to the Brotherhood.

Though everyone else above has spoken about what he has done, I would like to take the time to speak about him as a person and how he has impacted the Clan and House. Since joining he has taken no time to get to know everyone from Clan Consul to the other Journeymen he has made an impression on them all. He speaks to members on a regular basis keeping them motivated and passionate about the club in anyway he can.

This took the shape of taking on the responsibilities of running and helping members in ToR, he has done well over twenty times easily, helping get members involved in a regular FP group that they wanted to see created. He is always taking time to help members regardless of what he is doing. Trying to keep everyone happy is something that quite frankly the dude excels at and takes pride in doing it.

He has personally helped myself out on multiple occasions this is with just generally asking for work to do, or even when im tied down and a member needs some help going and speaking to them and trying to fix the issue. He has adapted to the club perfectly and formed solid friendships around him, all I hear the members say is about how he has helped, and how he is a genuinely nice guy.

Onto his service inside of Arcona, since joining Soulfire Strike Team he has taken on the mantle of Executive Office of the team. He has served with the Battleteam Leader, learning from him and gaining valuable leadership experience, sending out regular emails to the team to keep in constant with them. Pushing them hard in the IG’s as well as in the Dark Crusade showing a constant presence and stability inside of the team.

When Sang came over to him we needed an update on the Galeres wiki page, as well as the S.C.E.P.T.E.R page, both had become slightly out of date. Expecting this to take a while we were surprised when we found S’nar had pretty much done it instantly. Showing that he can work within targets and times perfectly and with dedication that is surprising to see from a Journeymen.

I am proud today to see another Knight of Arcona progress. He deserves this rank and I can only see him growing further in his time within the club. Congratulations on Knighthood S’nar and keep up the amazing work you are doing.

S’nar. Donny. Eyebrows. This man is a veritable bastion. His activity is second to none, and his dedication to Arcona has been demonstrated thrice over. I honestly don’t have a bad word to say about him, and let’s not forget, I’m one of the most cynical, critical people in the Brotherhood.

You’ve done fantastically well, Don. You’ve gone from strength to strength, developing as a key member of our little corner of the internet. I see great things for the future and, if I could, I’d be writing an EQ1 recommendation. It seems DJK will have to do.

Good work, champ. Keep up the great work.

I am honoured to be recommending Snar for his promotion to the rank of Jedi Hunter. He has been a beacon of activity inside of Clan Arcona and House Galeres since joining us. As such, he has completed all requirements set forth by the Master at Arms Office for his next rank promotion:

Since his last promotions he has managed to earn himself a Merit medal in the form of a Dark Cross as well as writing a five page character fiction depicting his characters background history before joining the brotherhood. Not only showing himself to be a talented writer, Snar has jumped into gaming and really stepped up as a member of the Arcona community. He has recently participated in doing a total of 10 warzones with other members of Clan Arcona, as well as taking part in Flashpoints racking to earn an impressive total of 63 Clusters of Fire. He has done all of this and more in the span of about a month, and has earned an Anteian Cross for his efforts and willingness to help his fellow clannmates.

Snar continues to expand his knowledge of the Brotherhood and its workings, taking Leadership Studies and completing the Exam with a score of 97%. He is also in constant contact with other members. This is either through the forum of constantly talking on IRC and inside of the Clan Arcona channel.

He took it upon himself to complete a MAA task having to write a seven page fiction which was approved by the MAA Office.

With all of the above he has managed to complete the tasks set by the MAA Office. His hard work and drive has been exceptional lately. Congratulations Snar on making Jedi Hunter, and I look forward to seeing what you do in the future.

I am delighted to announce that S`nar Que Seshai is now ready for promotion to the rank of Guardian. Since joining Galeres he has shown himself to be an excellent example for any journeyman to follow.

Firstly, he has been awarded a merit medal, a Dark Cross, awarded for his excellent activity in the Shadow Academy.

S`nar has also shown he can try his hand to writing in differing styles, both by writing a five page fiction and by working on his character’s Wiki page. He has also demonstrated that he is ready and willing to compete in the Antei Combat Centre once it is reactivated, by completing both the ACC Basics exam, in which he scored a fine 85%, and also by submitting an approved Character Sheet.

He has a good understanding of what it means to a member of the Obelisk Order, having passed the order’s core exam with a perfect 100%. He has carried his excellent performance in exams through into the GMRG History exam, where he scored 92%.

S`nar is also an active member of the DJB’s MP community, where, as well as a number of Jedi Academy matches, he has formed part of the Galeres ToR Flashpoint Team, allowing him to obtain an impressive 30 Clusters of Fire. In addition he is also highly active on IRC, and can usually be seen talking to not only his old friends, but his newer colleagues as well.

Finally, he has completed a Master-At-Arms task, therefore bypassing the time in grade requirement.

Congratulations, Snar. Galeres and Arcona are looking forward to your continued development.
