In the well over two and a half years Eetherbiail has been a DJK, he has continued to remain an active and engaged member of Scholae Palatinae, as well as the DJB as a whole. The jump into Equite ranks can be difficult, and one many members fail to make. I firmly believe that Eether has more than proved himself to be a capable and involved member of the DJB, with eyes set toward things beyond just his personal gain.

Simply as a member, Eether can be relied on whenever the House needs strong participation in vendettas. Balancing DJB work with a heavy school load can be difficult, but it is something Eether has done splendidly the last few years. If there is something big happening, I know Eether will be there bringing his A game. This can be seen very clearly in his massive participation in both Horizons and GJW X. Even more recently with the crusade, he has participated in nearly every single round, and is a proud member of Scholae Palatinae’s Special Forces Team. His work there helped us secure a first place overall victory against Clan Naga Sadow this last round as well.

But Eether isn’t one of those members who is only present during big vendettas. If someone is running a house level competition, Eether is there with a submission. If we need more house level competitions, Eether is there. Even in the large House level events such as the recently passed Summer Games, Eether not only participated but helped provide a competition for it.

Beyond that, he quickly volunteered to help take over managing the Titles of Nobility System here in HSP, something that has always required a careful eye. Outside of HSP, I know Eether quickly jumped to volunteer on the new Lightsaber guides that are still forth coming to the DB public. I can’t speak for what he has worked on there, but I know he has been very excited to see it finally released.

Since gaining DJK, he has earned a respectable pile of medals to show off. They are: 1 Gold Nova, 3 Silver Nova, 4 Bronze Nova, 76 Cluster of Fire, 8 Cluster of Ice, 1 Seal of Reminiscence, 13 Seals of Affliction, 21 Seals of Decimation, 1 Seal of Return, 1 Steel Cross, 1 Anteian Cross, 1 Dark Cross, 3 Ruby Stars, 2 Amethyst Stars, 3 Emerald Stars and, 3 Topaz Stars.

I’ve known Eether the entire time he has been a member of this club. I remember welcoming him to Scholae Palatinae on IRC, giving him help through those first few days and ranks of the club. I worked as his master and saw him rise to the rank of DJK. It has been an honor to see him continue to grow and work hard here in the DJB. Too often members stop, burn out, or get angry and leave. Members like Eether are the backbone of the DJB, and what make it great. I am very glad to have Eether in Scholae Palatinae, and to call him a friend.

Congratulations Eether very well earned! Drinks are on you!

In accordance to the promotion requirements, if one wants to become an Equite, he or she must start thinking of their community, whether it be a Battleteam, a House, a Clan or whole Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Some may say that it means taking part in numerous projects that positively affect a given community by improving its functioning and creating friendly atmosphere for its members. However, I believe that it is enough to be active enough to make a difference. A difference, when it comes to competing with other units of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. A difference, which helps develop the community through participation in competitions and earning activity points for the community.

Eetherbiail is an outstanding member of the Imperial House. With the limited amount of free time at his disposal, he does his best to submit entries to various events throughout the Dark Crusade. Despite lack of placing, his presence during the Dark Crusade so far helped us earn additional fleet points for future use. Now, as one of the SF members, he does his best to make sure that his entries are of the highest possible quality.

1 Steel Cross, 1 Anteian Cross, 1 Dark Cross, 7 Novae ( 1 GN, 3 SN, 3 BN ), 14 Crescents, 76 Clusters of Fire, 4 Clusters of Ice, 36 Seals for various Vendettas and Independence Games. 12 SA courses and one Dark Maven, all earned since his promotion to the Dark Jedi Knight in late 2010 year. It is quite an impressive collection of awards, if we take under the consideration tight school schedule.

Eether is also a person, who serves to the House in other means. He has volunteered to help us with the Titles of Nobility and without his desire to assist us, the project would be much delayed in time. It is also necessary to include numerous competitions, which were hosted by Eether, just to mention last Summer Games.

I see Eetherbiail as a stalwart member of the Scholae Palatinae. I know that we may count on his help, if we request assistance. He is well-mannered and easily approachable person. It would be tough to find many people like him. That is why, he should be allowed to abandon the limits of being just a Dark Jedi Knight and to become one of the Equites of the Brotherhood. Congratulations!

A promotion to Dark Jedi Knight is like a graduation into the full offerings of the DJB, where you step into your own and carve your own path, and Eether has done just that going on 3 years now. Time and time again he has stepped up where he can and enjoyed participating in competitions available at all levels. I have had the enjoyment of writing with him in several run-ons and cooperative competitions over the past year and even when he has limited time I find myself tossing around ideas for individual events and discussing prompts to help drive even my own creative processes. This constant activity and contribution combined over such a considerable amount of time makes a promotion to the Equite 1 rank more than deserved, and I strongly recommend it.

Eether is a picture of consistency and activity. Never far from the action, he is frequently found in the top three in House competitions, and has put a lot of work into the Dark Crusade. He has been a consistent presence in the House, and has assisted new members and old through his time in the Dark Brotherhood. He is always ready to be called upon to help with projects, such as Project Goetia, which helped flesh out the Cocytus system. He fully deserves a promotion into the Equite ranks. Congratulations!
