Duga took over as Taldryan's Consul in January of 2006 and since then Taldryan has dominated the Dark Brotherhood's major competitions. Duga's success and time in service are nearly unparalleled in the history of the Dark Brotherhood. Duga's steady hand and calm influence has made Taldryan one of the most attractive Clans in the Dark Brotherhood for our new members.

Duga's work has included organizing his Clan for major events, running major events like the Bryar Bowl, and working with the Dark Council to improve the Brotherhood through major projects like the Codex update.

After his two years of hard work and dedication to the DB, it is only fitting that Duga be elevated to Dark Adept.

While not always the most visible of leaders, Duga has been by far one of the best leaders that I have ever had the pleasure of serving under. While most would probably have sat back and let the Clan just run itself, especially after everything its accomplished, Duga instead took on a renewed focus in how the Clan operates and continues to push us to stay on top. His work on the Tal Times, managing to produce a newsletter on a fairly regular basis, has allowed the Clan to maintain a cohesiveness and bond that holds everyone together.

Even with the closing of the House, the Clan continues to be fantastically stable, which is a testament to the leadership at the top. He is respected by the entire Clan, and his even-handed approach to all things keeps the members happy and engaged. You can look at his past recommendations, and everything mentioned in them continues to this very day. He hasn't slipped, and the Clan itself has responded to now being highly active during the down-times between the large competitions. Everyone wants to help out. A Consul can set the tone for the entire Clan. What Taldryan is can be very much attributed to the work done by Duga. Most Clans have large ups and downs, yet this Clan has stayed steady throughout. Without strong and effective leadership that could not be possible. I am more than happy to see Duga join the Elders!

Since joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Apprentice Mormegil has already completed the Brotherhood Basics course at the Shadow Academy with an impressive score of 98. In order to reward this accomplishment, I recommend Mormegil for elevation to the rank of Novice.

Ah yes, Vodo. My slave, cabana boy, whatever you want to call it.

Vodo has been my Aedile since I was Quaestor of Ektrosis, and I would certainly have it no other way. While we may have different views regarding some issues, we have no problem reaching a consensus 100% of the time. Consistently active and always putting ideas out in the air, Vodo picks up any slack I leave plus more. His reports are always on time, his competitions are generally successful, and he's one of the best members of Ektrosis I've ever had the privilege to be with.

The promotion to Archpriest is considerably more difficult than the path to Priest, but this is of little concern to our friend Mr. Biask. Vodo is the stereotypical Krath – he writes, loves fiction, has a penchant for learning, and smells funny. Without him, Ektrosis would not have the fictional developments it has today, particularly the Library of Lears. While he may have been rewarded for his work on that project some time ago, he was the organizer, master-mind, and major influence behind its completion.

I congratulate Vodo on his hard work and dedication to his friends, House and Clan, and I hope his superior attitude that he consistently maintains continues to bring light to our beloved House. Good work, Archpriest, you've earned this!

Vodo has been a member of Taldryan for a long time, about the same time I've been here, and he has always been there for his House. They have been lucky enough to have him in a leadership position now for the last 8 months.

During the time since his promotion to Krath Priest, Vodo has filed 16 reports, ran a continuous competition in the AED's Challenge for his members, helped Sklib on projects and larger events in House, done some graphic work for Chaos and I, and has continued to be an active member in his own right. He's just as active in normal activities as he is in leadership, which I think is very important, considering him winning 6 Crescents, a Legion of the Scholar, and a few Clusters of Fire. He stepped down from a SA spot last month after serving well there as well.

His contributions to his Clan and House are heavily valued and with a promotion to Krath Archpriest we thank him. Congratulations and thank you for your continued loyalty and service!

For Taldryan,

Obelisk Primarch Duga Taldrya Arkarso Consul and Son of Clan Taldryan Planetary Viceroy of Kaltace, Regent of the Kr'Tal System

I am honored and delighted to promote Astronicus "Tron" Sadow to the rank of Dark Jedi Master. Tron's dedication and service to the Dark Brotherhood has spanned an amazing 10 years and he has worked tirelessly in the last five months to improve our club through the Dark Brotherhood Wiki.

Tron's work has been visible to our members who utilize the Wiki on a daily basis. With 1000's of edits, article creations, and template construction, Tron has improved the Dark Brotherhood Wiki more so than the many of the T:Ws combined.

In addition to his outstanding work on the Wiki, Tron has passed the test of being a wise and needed council to the Grand Master. His down to earth ideas, ability to stay out of conflict, and track record of completing projects make Tron the perfect candidate for DJM.

Tron, congratulations on your promotion and elevation.

Astronicus has been a fixture of Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood since long before I even joined the club. His hand can be felt in a lot of things, his work having helped to guide not only the clan he founded, but also much of our policies that guide such things as how we deal with inter-club competitions, and guidelines for clan honorific titles. Recently, Tron has had a resurgence in activity, taking up a more active role not only in Clan Naga Sadow, but also taking on more responsibilities on the Brotherhood level, taking over as Tribune to the Wikipedia project. As wikipedia tribune, he has kept the project from succumbing to the wild whims that often cause a wikipedia to become irrelevant. Tron has worked to become less of a 'legend' and more of an agent for change, to work for the betterment of the club entire. For these efforts, continual over the last 3 years, including several months as tribune, I am pleased to reccommend Astronicus Aurelius Sadow for the Rank of Dark Jedi Master. Congratulations, and well-earned, old friend.
