Ashael Blackstar has done everything in his power to move through the ranks as fast and in the most efficient ways possible. His Prometheus report says it all but to point out some highlights, He passed 54 SA courses earning himself 5 Degrees, participated in 31 comps, earning himself 1 Ruby, 2 Emerald and 2 Topaz Crescents. Which are impressive numbers all by themselves but the most important and most valuable things Ashael brings to the DJB is his spirit.

He normally can be found in clan or house telegram chat giving advice, promoting comps, discussing and creating ideas with the other member's of the House and clan. He devotion and drive inspired me to go back and finish the courses I needed to earn my Dark Sage in combat. So that alone I must thank him for.

Besides all this Ashael busted his ass to get through the NOV and JM ranks to get to this point. As his master he made life very easy for me by being proactive and always looking to complete not only the current checklist he was on but always keep his eye on the ultimate prize, Knighthood.

This is exactly where we are today, Ashael Blackstar as accomplished every checklist item and then some. He is not only a model student but he has become a valued member of not only House Hoth and Clan Odan-Urr but the entire DJB as a whole.

Ashael I believe you will have a long,, bright future in the DJB and I was honored to not only bring you into the club but also guide you to this moment. Congratulations Knight Ashael Blackstar, you earned this!

Ashael Blackstar has been the sort of student a master dreams of: a self-starter, a flurry of activity, and a keen eye on the ultimate prize. Knight is a very special rank that everyone remembers. Not only do you get your own lightsaber, but it shows that you have proven yourself as a member in the Clan. The way Ashael went about achieving this rank is nothing less than superb, and I think it really speaks to his character and dedication. You're awesome!

As his Rollmaster, he makes my job easy and that deserves a well earned congratz. He has more than earned this rank and I look forward to his adventures as an Equite. Congratz!!!!

One of the greatest pleasures of being a leader in the Dark Brotherhood is being a part of member awards and promotions, particularly the step into Knighthood. Completing the tasks to become a Knight achieves far more than any simple promotion, it is a statement of conviction - Through impressive and consistent effort Ashael has shown himself to be a grand addition to Clan Odan-Urr, both our Rollmaster and his Master have expressed their pride in having a member who has made their jobs easy and I am similarly proud to be able to chime in with only praise for our new Knight.

Ashael, you have completed the steps to Knighthood and a new path lies before you and I can safely say that if you continue to be as impressive a member as you are now we will find ourselves writing your next promotion in the near future and that is something I look forward to being a part of.

Many congratulations on a very well-deserved promotion, I cannot wait to see what you get up to next!

It has been simply astounding to watch the implacable advance of Ashael Blackstar through the ranks of the Journeymen. His tenacity and willpower are a testament to his spirit. A spirit that should be present in all, but is only in few anymore.

Since his joining, Ashael has inundated my inbox with completion of both courses and participation or creation of competitions. His entire time in Hoth has been a not to see and I feel that he will go far indeed. These are the members that make our time as leaders worth it. These are the members we look for and enjoy. Those precious few new members that are active and an absolute joy to deal with. Ashael is a friend to those that talk to him and always ready to help if he is able.

Of all the awards and promotions leaders can give, I feel this one is the most important. It signifies that a member has completed those tasks laid out and gives them the ability to pick their own paths from this point forward. This promotion means they have proven their ability to work. Which is imperative to attain later ranks.

This is a member that has been supremely active at every chance. He is more than ready to take his final step into that of Knighthood. I join my voice with others who state his readiness.

Congratulations, Ashael! You have earned this many times over. I look forward to seeing more from you after this.
