Despite having conferred the Sapphire Blade award unto him within these last
months, recommendations in favour of our Chancellor continually find their
way to me . . . Recommendations which I weighed with no small time or
conscience. My ultimate conclusion is that after eighteen months of continued
service on the Dark Council, he cannot learn any more of the Dark Side at his
current rank . . . And thus Dark Adept Howlader is herein proclaimed and
elevated to the coveted rank of DARK JEDI MASTER. Even though I was at first
very critical of his performance, these last months of observation have
proven to me that our Chancellor has employed -- and continues to use -- both
efficiency and discretion in the maintenance & distribution of Brotherhood
