Alara Deathbane, of CSP's new Golden Generation, is a much loved member of the Scholae Palatinae community. She has been a whirlwind of activity since joining and has shown no signs of slowing down. She had ticked all of the boxes for this promotion about 4 days into the 28 days in rank lock. Since her last promotion has has earned every crescent below diamond. Her competition entries are of immense effort and quality above and beyond the run-of the mill submission. She has earned 15 clusters of fire and 4 clusters of ice. She is constantly active on Telegram and the DB art club channels, always lending support and encouragement to her clanmates. Alara is already a central figure in Scholae Palatinae and it's impossible to imagine the clan without her. Further to her activity, Alara has shown incredible temperament and patience, never put off or disheartened when things are denied, always willing to make changes and try again and again.

With members like Alara storming through the ranks, combining an infectious personality that spreads positivity around the clan with raw levels of activity, the future for Scholae looks incredibly bright. Alara is a member we've all been watching closely and I'm extremely happy to be able to finally promote her to Knight. Congratulations Alara!

Alara has proven to be an exceptional and dedicated member to Scholae Palatinae, and has always been hard at work of accomplishing her goals as well participating in comps as well as contributing with her own competitions, ideas, and art work for members. She has constantly been on top of getting her requirements done, and has gone even further by taking part in ACC battles, taking a ton of SA exams, and rising in both the Inquisitorious and SA society. She has won many awards from competitions, and even has received a merit award for all her work.

It has truly been a great honor to have been Alara's Master as well as having her as my Sergeant in Tacitus Athanasius. Her determination and creativity has allowed her to shine forth as an excellent example to others within the clan. I'm am proud to see her achieve the rank of knighthood, and I know she'll continue to dominate in all her endeavours within the clan and the DJB as a whole.

A huge congratulations, Alara!

It is always an exciting day when a member has completed the trials of Knighthood. I am thrilled to add my voice in the call for Alara's promotion, as she has earned it in spades.

To date, Alara has co-organized 4 competitions, ranging from house level to club-wide. She has participated in some 18 different competitions placing in 8 of them. She has also earned a Dark Cross, 43 Clusters of Fire, 5 Clusters of Earth, and 5 Clusters of Ice. She has earned 4 SA Maven Degrees, and one Savant Degree. She is a major active force for our clan, and we couldn't be more excited to see her take her next steps on her DJB career.

Congratulations on this very well earned Knighting Alara! Drinks are on you!

The first time I met Alara, she was stepping up to help me, a stranger, proof a rather long piece of writing I had struggled with. The way she dove in and then offered up strong feedback told me all that I needed to know about her. There is talent, confidence and potential here that belies her relatively short time in our clan and club. Not only did she step up without at a second’s notice, this young Hunter taught this old dog new tricks and helped me refine my writing. You don’t see many newcomers do that and this is but one example out of many to show just how willing she is to help her clanmates. She has placed in several competition, participates in her clan on several levels. Throw anything her way, and she will get it done.

If anyone is worthy of a promotion, it is Alara Deathbane.

Rise, Knight!
