Daedric Turelles has been a highly active journeyman and it is time once again to recognize him for his work. He has excelled at knocking out the static requirements for advancement to Dark Jedi Knight, but Daedric has also shown brightly in other areas. Beyond those requirements, he has taken the initiative to develop crisp, detailed, structured documents and wiki pages to improve the Clan's infrastructure and lore. He has also been very active, obtaining far more Crescents and Clusters than are required for advancement.
Daedric has also been very busy after obtaining the position of Black Guard and joining the Sadow Conclave. When Daedric first came to the Conclave with the idea to reform the Warhost army, I didn't know what to think. However, then I saw the document that he had prepared, which cleanly outlined his intentions for the army. It was not only well-worded, but also used charts and tables to convey the detail included in a clear manner. Considering that Daedric went into extreme detail, thinking of every facet of what he was proposing, the format helped a lot. It was a professional proposal, one that someone might expect to see from a member of the Dark Council or a businessman.
This detailed structure for our army - and later the one for our navy - provided the Clan with something we could use every day in our writing and gave us something we had not had previously. Then, most members would have stopped with the document and been like, "ok Summit, here you go, do whatever you want with it." But Daedric is not most members. As soon as the Summit signed off on his army proposal, Daedric put it on the wiki, giving it it's own extensive wiki article, effectively adding a new, informative, complete article to the Clan's set of wiki pages overnight. It's hard to describe how valuable Daedric's efforts have been to the Clan. Most of the time, things like this take days or even weeks, possibly longer as everyone tries to decide who is going to do what. Daedric just takes care of it!
In addition to the stuff above, Daedric continues to be very active as a regular member. He participates in Clan competitions frequently. He also posts in and helps coordinate our runons, which is great because Sadow loves runons and he seems to fit right into that. He has earned a lot more Crescents and both types of Clusters than is required for promotion, as well.
That also brings me to the last section: the mandatory requirements. Daedric has smashed these quickly. He has been in his current rank for 28 days. He has completed at least a 3000 word approved fiction. He has certainly assisted the Clan Summit with a project, indeed, he has taken the initiative to do one completely on his own and is leading the way on a second! He has also completed a quality wiki article, as his character article and the Warhost army articles show. He has three Shadow Academy degrees, including one Savant! He has several competition awards, including two Ruby Crescents, which is no easy task for a long-time member, much less an up and coming journeyman. He's further earned an Amethyst Crescent, three Emeralds, five Clusters of Fire, and two Clusters of Ice as of the writing of this recommendation.
For merit awards, Daedric has earned both a Dark Cross and Steel Cross. His Dark Cross represents that Daedric displayed a huge amount of activity soon after joining, while his Steel Cross continues to recognize Daedric for that effort, but also for his awesome work on the Warhost army.
Daedric has participated in twelve total competitions beyond the requirement of eight. He has also completed two courses from the Department of Leadership studies. Daedric has also reached Shadow Academy Rank V, completing a whopping 36 courses and earning three degrees, including the Savant of Writing and Philosophy.
All of these accomplishments - from his quick surpassing of the mandatory requirements to Daedric's amazing contributions to Clan lore - show that he is ready to take up his own lightsaber and become a Dark Jedi Knight. To me, Daedric has shown that he is ready to go far beyond that, but one must take a step at a time. Daedric, thank you for all your hard work and congratulations on this milestone promotion!

Since his last promotion on 8/25/14, Daedric Turelles has completed the requirements set out by the Brotherhood for Knighthood. He has participated admirably in several runons, and earned Clusters if Ice and Fire. Recently he earned a CrR in a Brotherhood-wide competition. He also earned two Maven and one Savant degree during this time. As well, he earned himself a place on the Clan's Black Guard.
What sets Daedric truly apart is his work ethic and can-do attitude. Daedric's idea was a complete revamp of our Warhost army. He took the matter upon himself and worked a long time to finish it, including seeking feedback from the Clan Summit. For this service work he earned himself a Steel Cross. He is currently working on a re-vamp of our Warhost navy along the same lines, and with the same amount of work involved. If he puts his hands on something, it gets done and done well.
He is one of those members you wish you had ten of, honestly. It's really heartwarming to see a relatively newer recruit work so hard and complete his trails with alacrity. His attitude is great, his activity levels high, and he inspires others to the same. I am honored and very pleased to add my name to the list of those who are recommending him for Knighthood. Congratulations, Knight!

It has been a pleasure seeing Daedric breeze through the journeyman ranks. From the moment he joined Naga Sadow he got involved in both the activities offered but also in the fictional background, and not long after that he added his own touch to our fictional identity with the Warhost Army wiki page.
Right after he joined he jumped into the runon we had going at the time and he took easily to the task, working extremely well with both his fellow journeymen but also with the equites and elders of the Clan.
Besides taking on Clan projects and posting in runons he’s also participated in competitions where he has placed in the top three in half of the competitions he entered, showing not only activity and dedication but also skill.
I am not 100% sure but I think Daedric is the person in Clan Naga Sadow who has attained Knighthood in the shortest amount of time, if not he’s still damn close and I would like to congratulate you on your new lightsaber Dark Jedi Knight Daedric Turelles!
