It would be quite easy to go ahead list off the accomplishments of Hunter Quentinshadows, wave them in one's face and show what he has accomplished. However, the path to Knighthood is more than just merely checking off some items on a list. For each of us, it is a journey. Some of us take the quick and easy ways to get to that final of the Journeyman ranks.

For some, that is not the path they walk. For some, like Quentinshadows, they choose to blaze their own way. Though he has taken a route more circuitous for most, Quentin has been found far from wanting. For example, some members have a small show of their excellence presented to them by their Summit. Well, Quentin has two. Rather than merely completeing the barest requirements expected of a member of his station, Quentin has done things like working through Mavens, though Savants and has even managed to earn a Sage in History and Lore.

Though he has stood rank for 187 days, Quentin has participated in a small multitude of competitions to the final tune of 42 competitions. His efforts did more than tick up participation numbers- Quentin also brought home 9 Crescents of varying levels. Quentin has also created a competition for his fellow members to enjoy in the form of a puzzle.

Back to the subject of the Shadow Academy, Quentin has stretched himself, taking on two courses within the Leadership Department of the SA. He has worked his way up to the 4th rank in the society and has since risen up to the 7th tier of the Shadow Academy society. Given that he has already achieved the aforementioned Sage, I think that Quentin has more than proved his worth in at least one pillar of our club. He has even put work into his own wiki page on our club's wiki, to help tell the tale of his character amongst the history of so many accomplished members.

Even when you just consider the activity that Quentin had accomplished since his last promotion, it isn't anything to wince at. Since attained Journeyman 3, Quentin has organized a competition, participated in 17 himself. He has participated in a fiction activity which brought him 5 Clusters of Ice and came in at 2757 words of fiction. As already mentioned he has been pretty phenomenal in the Shadow Academy passing 14 courses and earning not one but five degrees. Since last promotion, let me repeat. He has also garned a small trove of goodies since that time, with 2 Dark Crosses, a Crescent with a Ruby Star, 4 Crescents with an Amethyst Star, 2 Crescents with a Sapphire Star and 1 Crescent with an Emerald Star.

Oh! That reminds me, Quentin also placed in Naga Sadow November, achieved 2nd place out of 8 participants! Even before this, Quentin helped to represent himself and Clan Naga Sadow in our last club-wide Rite of Supremacy. It is great to see a Hunter helping his Clan's cause during a Vendetta.

And I have no doubt he will continue to do more yet. I have no doubt that Quentin will move on to meet and even surpass some of those that have already been observed and chronicled by our site.

I for one look forward to that future.

For now, it is only fitting that Hunter Quentinshadows be elevated from current station to a higher one. Rise as the newest of our JM4s, Knight Quentinshadows.

Drinks will be on your tonight aboard the Peridition.

It's my pleasure to add my support to this promotion for Quentin. He's been my apprentice since he first joined CNS - he impressed me then with his coursework and, though real life stole him away for awhile, I was happy that he still wanted to work together when he returned and I had joined the Dark Council.

As his summit and Promotheus have already attested, Quentin has met and, on a few metrics, far exceeded the requirements to attain to Knighthood. Beyond those numbers, Quentin is active on Discord and stays in touch with me nearly daily to prove updates on his progress and future plans. Though his bread and butter has certainly been the Shadow Academy, he has had a great attitude about learning other areas of the club, including writing character fiction, learning how to wiki and finally to run his own competition. While some of these areas were out of his comfort zone, he was never afraid to ask questions and press on until he accomplished what he set out to do.

I know Quentin has more plans, as he's already shared several interesting ideas with me, so I believe he will continue to be an outstanding member of the club. I'm honored to recommend him for Knighthood!

Hunter Quentinshadows has continued to be hard working new member since his last promotion in March, and throughout his career to date in the Brotherhood and our Clan.

He has aimed his efforts at a wide range of activies, from socialising in Discord with his fellow members, competing more and more courses and degrees in the Shadow Academy, and taking part in competitions scoring an impressive number of crescents as well as seals from the last vendetta.

In additon he has now successfully run his own competition that gained a high number of entries from other members across the Brotherhood which is great to see.

And last but not least he has been awarded two Dark Crosses in recognition of his continued performance and effort.

In short, I am very pleased to have newer members like Quentin in Shar Dakhan and Naga Sadow and if he continues to be active and involved he looks like having a great career ahead of him. I am more than happy to add my recommendation to his promotion to Knighthood.
