Primary reason

I'm not sure I could even remember everything that Dacien has done in the past seventeen months as Praetor to the Headmaster. At the surface, he spearheaded the reorganization of the Dark Side Degrees program. He's helped code every new course released, at least five, and helped code the exams. He also reads through all of the member submitted histories, which he will quickly tell you is one of the worst tasks there is, but still he does it. Not to mention the important task of getting me up to speed when I took over as Headmaster, letting me know what projects were being worked on, where he saw things going, and how things are done while I added my own flare. All of this while juggling a college education and family life. Aside from these public things, however, Dacien also does the behind the scenes work: coding improvements, proofreading documents, participating in important staff discussions, keeping the EPs in line, keeping my head on straight. He is the perfect Praetor, because he does exactly what the job was designed to do, advises the Headmaster. He is my second brain, always there to provide thoughts or counter arguments on ideas or plans that I have, and I email him ideas all the time. Sometimes these thoughts happened, other times they are killed, but all because Dacien wasn't afraid to give his input. It is his judgement and advice that I trust the most in every discussion, and indeed look to when making the final decisions. It is for these very reasons that he will be remaining on the staff as a Magistrate. Things will continue to move forward in the Shadow Academy after his time as Praetor, but it will not be a simple task in coming to trust his replacement on the same level as I do Dacien. It is for his dedication, hard work, time, and constant guidance that I award Dacien Victae di Plagia this Amethyst Kukri. ~ Sith Warlord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar; Headmaster of the Shadow Academy
