I am honored and pleased to submit Shikyo Sasuke Keibatsu for promotion to the rank of Pontifex. Shikyo has continued the tradition of strong and active Heralds in the Dark Brotherhood. His consistent work on Lightsabers, Banners, special projects, and a host of other graphic related work.

Shikyo has done exactly what I expect of a Herald. He finishes his work on time and he keeps our members content with the level of work and effort he places forward. A Dark Council member can have no higher rating than to have no one complain about him. I've never had a complaint about Shikyo.

For his outstanding work and dedication to the Dark Brotherhood, I am honored to promote Shikyo to Pontifex.

Since Joining the DC as Herald, Shikyo has done remarkably well. While he has had a decent-sized advantage in being able to learn from my own source files, he has really taken the reins and shined on his own. He's made many custom sabers, and even more warbanners. He's weighed in heavily in certain aspects of the Order perks that we have been working with, and he's even spearheaded his own personal project to return the warbanners to a more traditional and personally identifyable design with his Logo Selector. Shikyo is often my right hand while I am working on my own projects, and his work there, while yet to be seen by the general membership, is top notch and expansive. And that's just in discussion of the work he's done for me, and as Herald. Outside of that, Shikyo is one of the most active and involved masters in Clan Naga Sadow, having trained such exemplary members such as Faeril. His hand is seen and appreciated in clan workings, not only in CNS, but also in his workings with the various projects in several other clans. For a person to be so aggressive and passionate about a job that really is a volunteer position is rare, and the fact that he's gone this long, working without expecting reward speaks volumes about his character in my eyes. I feel privileged and honored to be able to recommend him for promotion to Pontifex, the right to wield two blades, and a step closer to the Elder that I know he can be. ~Muz Keibatsu Sadow, DGM

I am honored and proud to submit a promotion request for Dacien Victae di Plagia, or as I have known him for years, BubbaX. Bubba has served as a the Praetor to the Headmaster for quite some time and in his duties he has worked consistently on improving the Shadow Academy and providing coding support. His work and efforts have allowed for several new courses to be seamlessly released as well as the cleaning up of some old and unwieldy SA coding.

In addition to Bubba's coding work, he remains as always a steadfast and trustworthy advisor who provides insight and useful commentary on ways to improve and better the Dark Brotherhood.

Bubba has served consistently and at high levels over the past year with a dedication to improve the Dark Brotherhood. For this service, he is long overdue a well deserved promotion.

It's been over a year since Dacien's last promotion, so I've no doubt that this is much deserved. Bubba's activity spans over many facets of the Dark Brotherhood, most recently the coding staff, but when it comes to the Shadow Academy I really don't know what I would do without him, and I think former Headmaster Anshar would say the same thing. While I know a limited amount of HTML and coding, Dacien is the true genius when it comes to keeping the Academy running and constantly improving. He is the one who codifies new courses, he fixes glitches, and most importantly he fixes my mistakes. Now, he is working on even greater improvements to the way the SA works.

Aside from the coding, Dacien is also the perfect Praetor. Whenever I have an idea, I tell him, and he gives his thoughts without hesitation. He helps proofread new courses, and deny others, as well as steps in and helps grade exams whenever needed. The Shadow Academy is the prime example of an organization that needs multiple parts to stay running, and Dacien is without a doubt one of the most crucial parts in that machine. So it is all that I can hope that this promotion helps me to say thanks for all the hard work, time, and dedication Dacien has put into the Shadow Academy of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. ~ Sith Warlord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar, Headmaster
