Teu has been an Obelisk Exarch for well over two years now. In that time she has countless

Clusters of Fire, numerous Crescents and a handful of Novae, while that is impressive in itself it

only scratches the surface of what Teu has done in those two years.

Her various Crosses tells you about not only her high level of activity in feuds and Vendettas but

also her commitment to the Shadow Academy where she grades the CORE courses which are

some of the busiest ones since they are part of the journeyman promotion guidelines, and she

does this with a turn around time that is never over a day, most of the times it’s never more than

a few hours.

In the time since her last promotion she has also served as Rollmaster of Naga Sadow and later

seven months as Proconsul of Naga Sadow. The Sapphire Blade she got for this is a testament

to the amazing job she did in those positions. That is also why I knew right away that I had

found the first of my Quaestors when she applied for the job back in August when the Clan

found itself in need of two new ones.

For the past year she has also served the Chamber of Justice as the Left Hand of Justice and I

am fairly certain it has been the busiest year the Chamber has ever had, leaving her to work on

a handful of high profile and difficult cases.

Teu is well liked, easily approachable by young and old and she is always willing to offer a

helping hand when people need it, which is something I wish was true of every equite in the

club, but as it is Teu is a shining example for all to follow and I can think of no better way to

thank her for all her hard work than with this promotion to Obelisk Primarch. Congratulations

Teu!

Wow. Where oh where does one even begin when it comes to Teu?

Teu is a trooper. Since her last promotion, in the last two years she has worked tirelessly as a Rollmaster, on the Shadow Academy staff, as a Proconsul, as a Hand of Justice, and most recently as a Quaestor. That is a long list. And Teu has not just sat idly by in these roles. On top of her incredible level of activity during the Dark Crusade - and elsewhere - which has brought her more than one Nova and other Crosses in recognition, on top of the endless mountain of Clusters of Fire and other competition awards that she has received, she has also been repeatedly recognized for her services to the Shadow Academy, in addition to having received praise for her time as a Hand of Justice during some notably difficult cases.

I already said it, but it doesn’t hurt to repeat it again: that is a long list of activity. And not just any activity, but hard activity, difficult activity, the sort of activity that many others would balk at even beginning, let alone enduring for as long as Teu has. Just looking at the reasons for some of the medals she has received during this same period, both in Naga Sadow and during her time in Arcona, I am not alone in having noticed just how brightly her star has shined, how much time and dedication she has put into this club, not just a small part of it or one isolated unit, but the club as a consolidated whole.

Begging the question of why I am still even writing. Teu has more than earned her next rank, more than once over, and for that reason I extend my full support to her promotion to the highest tier of the Equites, and hope that her drive continues for a long time to come.

Congratulations, Teu, and thank you, you are one of the people without whom there wouldn’t be a Dark Brotherhood.

To write a recommendation for Teu is such an easy and natural task - yet given the scope of what she has done it is also incredibly difficult to do. Recently I wrote a report for House Marka Ragnos, in which I started a section called 'You Know Who's Really Great?' because of Teu, after I thought about the sheer magnitude of what she does for this club. I'd like to quote my own words, for I almost feel it was a promotion recommendation in and of itself: Let's look at her dossier ID line: She's Left Hand of Justice (one of the absolute hardest jobs in the DJB given the depth of knowledge one needs, and generally a thankless one), she's Quaestor of our wonderful House and has been doing a better job than I ever did at it. She received the position after I had it and, frankly, she's the better one for the job by miles. I couldn't do anywhere near as well as she has. She's also a Professor, grading the CORE exams in the Shadow Academy. Solari's mentioned almost 100 exams graded, and that's a huge number! Utterly mindblowingly huge, considering there's only four exams she grades - Sith, Krath, Obelisk COREs and DB Basics. Think how important those exams are to this club. You have done an exam graded by Teu, guaranteed. There's no way around it. And she has a Dark Sage of Law! Wow! I might not want one but the work needed to get that? Like, daaaaaaaaamn. This on its own speaks a huge story. She does so much in so many important positions that it's difficult not to reward her just for the sheer magnitude of her participation.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, from where I sit. There's plenty of competition participation. I feel that at this rank talking about individual medals is pointless - we all see the big-name awards rolling in. It's natural. There's consistent discussion with her members, finding out what they want, how they'd like to proceed as a House. There's the impeccable organisation, the ability to keep track of what her people do and how to reward them appropriately for their actions. She has a clear guideline of what she expects of me not just as an Aedile but also as a member of her House and she holds me to them and inspires me to be a better person and a better leader because of it. Her ability to be a role model despite a very difficult real-life situation is nothing short of inspiring. Teu's tenacity, resilience, vibrance and selflessness despite whatever is thrown at her is mind-blowing. There's so much one could say about Teu, really, because she is so many things to all of us. She is, frankly, one of my most favourite people in the Brotherhood and has been for a long time. We would all be at a great loss without her leadership and her motivation, and I for one am extremely thankful that she is here with us in Clan Naga Sadow.

I don't think there's much more I can honestly say without repeating the recommendations of others. I feel that Teu's actions speak louder than any recommendation that could possibly be written for her. However, I will say this: Without people like Teu, we would not have this club. For service, for duty, for friendship and kindness, for leadership, for greatness, I am so incredibly proud to recommend Teu for the rank of Equite 4, only one rank below the greatly esteemed Elders. Teu is the kind of person who will one day get there. To take this step is incredible on its own and I am simply thankful that I am here to witness that step, to write a note in the annals of history and leave my thanks for a great woman.

Thank you, Teu. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, for everything you have done for all of us. Welcome to Equite 4 as you have so sorely deserved for so long.

It has been a pleasure to work with Teu since she has come on as QUA for the House. She makes what she wants done clear and always has a vision insight. She is an asset to the House, the Clan and the Brotherhood overall. Fair, kind, easy to deal with and more than competent. Very simply she's a great leader! This Promotion is more than deserved.

When you talk about a unit’s identity, fictional roles are a pretty good part of it, but there are also the people. Individuals which have transcended just sitting on a roster to being an actual fixture of their unit. Teu is one such person. She held Rollmaster with CNS for what seemed like forever, making it an actual job instead of just a helper position. She’s passed out more sweets in greeting than any other person has any reason to. Seriously, I’d probably be on insulin if they were real cookies.

More importantly though and in all earnest, she’s been a guiding hand in CNS, someone who’s put in the time and effort to make this place grow. She was instrumental in turning House Naga Sadow back into Clan Naga Sadow, and then just kept going. Her real life has presented her some hurdles but that doesn’t stop her in remaining a proper fixture in this clan. She’s put her blood, sweat, and tears into her home in several leadership roles. I’d like to see her become an Obelisk Primarch in thanks for all that she’s done for us.

Teu. I opened her activity list to find a bit more support on why she deserves a promotion. And I was nearly fainting from the sheer amount of activities.

Teu has been and is still a huge asset to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. (I am happy to have her in CNS). Despite her irl giving her a hard time, she has done so much for the Brotherhood: -Hand of Justice -Proconsul -Quaestor -Helped Arcona -Helped the Shadow Academy -Played a lot of ToR

Next to all the rewards she earned, she deserves this promotion a lot! Congratulations Obelisk Primarch Teu!
