Today I have the very exciting job of recommending Knight Zehsaa Hysh be advanced into the Equite ranks. Zehsaa has become an integral part of the CSP community providing a constant drive of positivity and humor. She welcomes all, regardless of clan or background, and then with some flashy wit and a talent hand provides for the entire clan. Her expertise as an artist and aid in providing epic images to members is already well documented. Her art can be seen in many places on telegram, in use on ACC combat wiki pages, and has even helped place her as a Magistrate to the Herald.

As a member, Zehsaa also demonstrated an active push to excel, having participated in 26 competitions in the last 4 months, 12 of which were part of our clan feud against Naga Sadow. Out of those competitions, she has won 3 Diamond Stars, 3 Ruby Stars, 5 Amethyst Stars, and 2 Sapphire Stars. She has also brought in 5 Clusters of Fire, and 9 Clusters of Ice.

We are so incredibly glad to have you Zehsaa, and congratulations on making it to the Equites! Drinks are on you!

There has never been a battle team report where Zehsaa's name doesn't appear next to a list of awards and accomplishments. She's always contributing and participating in Scholae Palatinae, whether it be through art or through competitions. She's continue to amaze all of us in the clan and House, and I know she'll accomplish so much more! A huge congratulations, Zehsaa! You more than deserve this. Welcome to the Equite Ranks!

What can I say about Zehsaa? A lot of things, actually. Ever since she arrived to CSP she has brought color to the clan and infused many of the things we do with life. Her clan presence in the chat and the additions she adds to the community are invaluable, and I can't see CSP without her.

In addition, she has brought this attitude to DJB wide projects like the ACC martial arts form wiki page. All of this put together with her activity in the most recent clan feud has cemented her place among the Equites.

Congrats Zehsaa. Well earned and have fun with all the new robes and sabers!

Happy for you :),

I really was looking forward to writing this recommendation! Zehsaa is, as I have said many times already, a key member of House Excidium. She's that kind of person that you always want to have close due to her many skills. Not only an excellent artist, she's someone that combines charisma with tenderness and is able to bring peace to the unit even in the most stressful situations.

It takes talent to have what Zehsaa has, and Equitehood should be only a stepping stone to put to use her great talents to lead an unit. I know that numbers matter, but in this case, just for what she has done for the community that is House Excidium since she arrived, I think that no Knight deserves more a promotion than her.

Not that she doesn't have the numbers. She's the one people turn for when an art competition shows up, and she usually comes back home with a new crescent for her showcase. She also draws pretty much everything that is needed, and sometimes even when something is not needed her art appears in the Clan chat and we orbit about it to give live to the scene creating great stories.

I could not recommend Zehsaa more for this promotion, and if I could, I would without a doubt.

Congratulations Zehsaa, you make Excidium proud!

Zehsaa does two things. She wins stuff and she makes people happy.

Regarding the former, her competition record is crazy. 3 diamond crescents in the space of 4 months is impressive by anyone's standards. Her competition record is just win win win. Her artistic talents are a force to be reckoned with and she has proven herself time and time again to be one of the best artists in the brotherhood, and has been truly applying her skills across the brotherhood in a wide range of roles.

For me the latter is more important. Z is the life of the clan. She will devote so much of her time just to create sketches that make people happy. Not for reward or competition, just for fun. Miley Cyris Oscura on his wrecking ball, Eli in her bath of mead, Princess Xen, mini-me sketches of almost every member in the clan and many others, the list goes on. To me, producing art for no other purpose than others' enjoyment deserves even greater reward. As someone from the era where finding an artist was impossible, Z is even more special.

Z is one of the reasons I enjoy being in the DB. This is very well deserved.

At times, we often struggle to find a decent balance between producing the goods for others to enjoy and submitting pieces of work in order to work off those extra competitions. Through some mystical and astounding routine and hard work, Zehsaa has found that balance. Always appearing as a charming and kind member to the clan's numbers, Zehsaa doesn't mind guiding us through her art creations, step-by-step she shows the progression and others have learnt valuable methods of drawing through her contributions. Even during tense moments, Zehsaa has the right words to diffuse the situation. This chipper Togruta has the sparks of a natural leader within her, sparks I would love to see ignited soon.

Congratulations on Equite, Z! The drinks are on you!

Zehsaa is a model member and contributor to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood community. She does this mostly with her art, where she will sketch and draw things that come up as a joke or suggestion from members. That's how you end up with an image of Xen, Cyris, and Marick in cheerleader outfits with pom-poms. While not exactly worthy of a merit, these acts are part of what make Zehsaa an active member of our club and organization.

She uses those same talents to tackle projects. When I wanted to add some reference images to break up the wall-of-text on the Martial Arts forms, Zehsaa was more than happy to jump to the task. She earned an Anteian Cross from me for these efforts, and I hope they help lend credit to the work she has done as a Knight. It is my further hope to see this aid in her elevation to the Equite ranks.

Congratulations, Zee. Keep up the great work. :)

The cream of the crop, Zehsaa represents everything you want in an up and coming member. She has a true gift, an outstanding artistic hand, and gives freely of herself to her clan--on a regular, unsolicited basis. Prior to that, she put together the marvel of creation that are my custom robes. For CSP members, she continues to do brilliant, humorous sketches that instantly become Scholae classics.

At clan level, she is ever present and always a soothing, heartening presence in chat. She is deeply ingrained in the day to day of our clan and you can always count on her to mingle with her fellow clansmen. Her high spirits and caring personality is infectious and visibly spreads to the ranks whenever she logs in.

Her activity record speaks for itself, yet do not speak of her bravery and devotion. Despite some (unwarranted) doubts in her own abilities, she charged head first in the Shattered Ties vendetta to quickly establish herself as an important cog in Scholae Palatinae’s machine of war. Through high quality entries she snatched top honors in some competition while placing regularly in others.

What more could possibly be asked of such outstanding member?

Zehsaa represents everything you want in an up and comer. Now it is high time she was rewarded for all that outstanding work!

We are lucky to have you, Zehsaa. You should take great pride in all that you have accomplished.

It is very exciting to see one of our Knights move on to the ranks of the Equites! Zehsaa Hysh has fully demonstrated what it takes to be a member of that rank. She is one of the best artists that this clan has seen, providing artwork for many of our members as avatars or telegram pictures.

She is an active member participating in 27 competitions with 13 crescents to show her quality! She has also been awarded an Anteian Cross for her drawings of a visual guide for the ACC, another feat of her work!

Zehsaa Hysh is an integral member of ther house and I am excited to see her continued work as well as accomplishments that I am sure she will achieve, now as an Equite! Congrats Zehsaa on the hard work put forth! Drinks are on You!

Zehsaa joined the Herald’s staff only twenty days ago, but I feel I should add my own recommendation to this list, seeing as she has done some good work so far. Zehsaa’s contributions to the staff have been few but of a great quality. She has completed custom robes for Cyris Oscura, a lightsaber for Marcus Kiriyu and another for Darius Tu'Kul. She has also helped me in creating an accessory for Clan Scholae Palatinae’s victory in the recent feud against Clan Naga Sadow, taking her time to sketch the accessory out to make it easier for me to digitize and prepare it for upload.

Apart from her contributions in the office, Zehsaa has undoubtedly been one of the most active artists in the Club. She is constantly and consistently chatty in DB Art Club, which often includes drawings of her own which she shares with others. She is an excellent critic of others’ artworks, lending a helping hand wherever she can. She has done twelve original character artworks for members all over the Club as well as consistently participated in the competitions we put out to build the community.

That said, I would like to thank Zehsaa for her contributions in the Herald's office and the community at large. Her persistence, activity and generally positive attitude have been a great boon to our efforts in creating a solid community for artists throughout the Club in the past several months. Thank you again, Zehsaa, and congratulations.
