New Headmaster Competition: Anagram Challenge

This is for all the puzzle fans amongst you:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it,
is to decipher the ten anagrams at the end of this post. The original meanings were all Brotherhood-related and could be anything from well-known people over Brotherhood-specific terms (positions, awards) to Force Powers mentioned in the DSC.

Persons will always be current PCON or higher or past DC members - no random members! Also, persons are encoded with full rank, e.g. "Grand Master Jac Ae-Sequiera Cotelin", units as listed on the site e.g. "Clan Exar Kun".

Scoring:

  1. By number of items correctly decoded, then

  2. by number of letters correctly placed (partial solutions count for this criterion, so if you are sure it's "Dark" something but can't get the rest, you'd score 4 tiebreaker points here if correct)

  3. and finally by who sent it in first.

Awards:

First place: Crescent with Diamond Star
Second Place: Crescent with Ruby Star
Third Place: Crescent with Amethyst Star

Also, all member submitting a perfect (all 10 correct) solution in the first 24 hours get a Star of Antei.

Important: There is no exchanging or hinting of solutions between members allowed!!! Anyone caught doing so will be disqualified from the competition and reported to the Justiciar. The fairness of this event depends on everyone trying it alone!

Submitting:

Send your solutions by mail to [Log in to view e-mail addresses] with subject "Anagram Challenge #1 solutions"-

Timing:

You have until Saturday, November 8, to submit for this event.

If there are at least 12 submissions on this competition, this will become a monthly event starting first Sunday of each month.
