I am honoured to be recommending Kordath for his elevation to the rank of Equite One. It takes hard work, dedication and devotion to the House, Clan and Brotherhood as a whole to step out from Knight to this rank. Kordath has continued to prove his devotion and drive for this club as he continues to participate in competitions, Fading Light and general day to day activities. All that being said Kordath has done the following since his last elevation.

He has spent his time participating in a total of 27 Competition, which have included participation in Operation; Sojourn, House Event; Figureheads and going five out of five in the recent Fading Light 3. Through his hard work and efforts in the competitions he has managed to take an impressive number of medals, earning himself: One Bronze Novae, Three Crescents with Topaz Star, Two Crescents with Sapphire Star, Two Crescents with Emerald Star and a Crescent with Amethyst Star as well as Eleven Legions of the Scholar and Nineteen Seals of the Crusader. He continues to strive to achieve better of himself taking part in anything that comes his way always looking to expand his knowledge of the Brotherhood. Though this alone does not make him stand out in the way we have all come to Kordath. He is always chatting always online and talking with other people, actively being on IRC is always part of the Brotherhood, Kordath continues to be active with young and old members alike keeping the Clan channel always buzzing.

If this wasn't enough he has continued to aspire to learn more about the Brotherhood and the Star Wars universe as a whole. He has made sure that his free time has been spent inside of the Shadow Academy, showing that regardless of rank you can still learn more. Since his last elevation he has managed to complete an impressive twenty-two exams, Three Dark Mavens and 2 Dark Pundits, showing his willingness to give his all in another aspect of the Brotherhood. He has also taking to gaming recently, this has been in the form of anything from Destiny to D3 and everything in between, getting together with others members of the brotherhood and competing either against them or with them to earn himself a total of One Hundred and Eighty-Five Clusters of Fire. For all of this he has also managed to pick himself up a Pendant of Blood for his gaming efforts. Yet he has also taken himself into the writing, this is in the form of Run-Ons as well as general writing activities, this has seen him take a total of five Clusters of Ice.

Since his last promotion Kordath has also managed to earn himself two different merit medals, for his effort and work inside of the Club, these were in the form of One Grand Cross of the Dark Side, and One Dark Cross. During his time since his last elevation he has also ran a Run-On for Dark Forge as well as Lexi’s Trivia. This was during his 94 Days as Battleteam Leader of Dark Forge. During this time he helped to keep Dark Forge active, emailing them and speaking to its members constantly trying to drive up activity through constant communication. Dedication and time passed as he continued to write reports, email his team, run competitions and actively recruit members to Dark Forge. He also became an intricate part of my summit, giving advice and opinion towards events, showing his opinion with truth and if something wasn't right he would speak up and say it straight up helping progress the House as a whole.

For all of this I am proud to see Kordath step into the Equite Ranks. He has continued to prove himself time and time again inside of the Brotherhood. Congratulations on your promotion Kordath, I look forward to working with you in the future, and look forward to seeing what you bring to the table. Drink are on you bud.

Kordath never really stops leading. He’s served Arcona officially as a BTL, but even without that title next to his name, he’s a motivator and an insatiable competitor. He’s always around, always pushing, whether it’s pushing his peers to fight for Arcona in FL3 or to submit to a House or Battleteam competition. Arcona’s participation ratios are not the product of one or two leaders, but the sustained effort of dozens. Kordath is foremost among those dozens.

His individual achievements are notable, as they demonstrate the depth and breadth of his ability. He writes, he games, he eviscerates Shadow Academy courses. He does it all. His three months as leader of Dark Forge were among the finest months in that team’s history, and in many ways he set the example that other BTLs would follow. There is something that every Arconan leader, and every Brotherhood leader for that matter, can learn from Kordath.

Equite 1 is not an easy mountain to climb. For those favored few who do manage to reach Dark Jedi Knight, Equite 1 becomes a unique beast in itself. Over the course of his career, Kordath has shown the necessary commitment and character to merit a promotion into the Equite ranks, and I am delighted to be recommending that he take his place amongst those Equites now.

Congratulations, Kordath, and thank you.

I feel honoured to be writing this for the promotion of Kordath to Equite 1. Firstly I would like to say that Kord has been a supremely helpful and unbiased thinker within the Dark Forgean ranks, he has assumed the mantle of a mature and modest being when we discuss ideas about how our Battleteam wishes to continue. When the recent events began to appear, Kordath was in a bit of a predicament with a very busy lifestyle and little motivation. Conclusively he stood tall and decided to resign from the team, it wasn’t until after the events started that he wanted back in, because of purely how much activity and the immense story plots were unfolding. The man had stepped up to catch-up with us and he brought all of his creative essence to the table. He did this whilst plowing through Operation: Revival and became a major part of the Run-on that reached over 50 posts, each one being averaged at a little over 700 words, with three posts per day. Kordath enjoyed the atmosphere and when Nicht Ka was being advertised around Clan Arcona he was more than ready to engage the One Sith traitor. is immense concentration, activity and positive aura still affects me to this day. After pulling out of Fading Light 3 with every submission he could possibly do, the drunken Ryn became a new man, and rebirthed talent. I am so proud to be a spectator in the change of Kordath’s ambition and work. Congratulations on this promotion, it is yours to treasure.

Psh. This guy. I’d bet anything that when this pops up in his inbox, he’s just going to blink and go, “Wha…?” He’s not really the sort that expects to get anything, mostly because he’s just too laid back to expect much at all of life in general, except maybe good drinks and friends.

However, that relaxed attitude certainly doesn’t equate to laziness. Kord’s a hard-worker, and while life might pull him away sometimes, he always seems to come back with a vengeance--metaphorically speaking, of course. Kordath is a quietly dedicated person, and he quietly became a pillar within Dark Forge without fanfare, just with his presence and activity. He dove into all the competitions challenging his team, such as the House’s Run-On, Operation: Revival, and the most recent Fading Light round where he participated in every event. And though he’ll happily chat with his fellows and clanmates, respond to emails and start discussions, you’ll rarely see any cheering from him. He’s just happy to be a part of it all, and helping his team, being there for them, is enough. It’s a rare quality in people, and one I’m pleased to show off in Kordath.

For all his dedication to his Battleteam, his House, and his Clan, and his long service to the Brotherhood as a whole, I’m immensely glad to be recommending Kord be promoted to the Equite ranks. Welcome, Matty, and cheers! You’ve earned it.
