Sidarace is without a doubt the most enthusiastic member of Clan Taldryan in a long time. Since joining he has shown absolute dedication to the Clan and a determination to succeed and be a part of Taldryan's rich history. It would be easy to overlook Sidarace for promotion since he doesn't do a whole lot of "core" activities but his efforts in other areas more than make up for it.

Since joining the Brotherhood Sidarace has demonstrated perhaps the best communication efforts of anyone within House Dinaari. He maintains a constant presence on IRC, chatting with both his superiors and fellow Clan-mates, and not a week goes by that I don't get an e-mail from him just telling me what's going on. He's gotten started on making a character page for himself on the DJB Wiki and he's gotten more a few posts up on the forums.

While computer difficulties prevent him from gaming like he did when he first joined the Brotherhood, he participates in virtually every competition that he can - since being elevated to Guardian he has competed in nine total competitions on various levels, earning five Crescents for his work. He has contributed several articles for the upcoming edition of the "Taldryan Times" and has proven his loyalty time and time again.

It is my honor and privilege to recommend Sidarace Rathden for elevation to the rank of Jedi Hunter ... while the road to Knighthood will be long and difficult, I expect his dedication to Clan Taldryan to remain as strong as always. Congratulations, Sidarace ... you've earned this one.

Since joining Clan Taldryan Baron has demonstrated his worth by displaying a great amount of activity in various forms. I have little doubt that he will be a valuable asset to Taldryan in the coming year and beyond.

Baron has earned forty-nine Clusters of Fire (and no doubt more are coming after this week's gaming events wrap up), completed five Shadow Academy exams, participated in at least nine competitions on various levels, completed both his Advancement Survey and Training Saber as well as the usual joining activity.

In addition he maintains a very steady and active IRC presence and is becoming a staple of the Clan. Baron is more than deserving of this elevation to the rank of Jedi Hunter and I look forward to watching his progress on the long road to Knighthood. Congratulations, Baron, you've certainly earned this one.

I'd like to recommend Kantar for promotion to Novice. Kantar has completed the Obelisk Core Course thus completing the Trials of the Apprentice. Congratulations!

Since rejoining Exar Kun, BraeL has made one forum post. For this, he deserves to be promoted to the rank of Novice.

In accordance with the Clan Taldryan Promotion Guidelines, Narad has:

1. Participated in more than eight competitions

2. Placed 1st in "Why You Belong In Phoenix" Phoenix competition, and 3rd place in others

3. Been an active and engaged member via email, IRC, and the forums.

4a. Participated in two additional competitions to the eight previously, making a grand total of ten

4b. Created a detailed character page on the DJBWiki

Narad has certainly been striving for his goal of achieving the rank of Jedi Hunter, and through his consistent perserverence has earned the right to achieve this goal. He participates in quite literally every competition he can get his hands on and is a positive and enthusiastic member to his fellow Housemates. I applaud his efforts, and congratulate him with the rank of Jedi Hunter. Good work!

On behalf of Sarin:

The position of Herald is one of the most time consuming and demanding positions in all of the Dark Brotherhood. Nine months ago I had major concerns over filling the position after Muz's departure; however, these concerns were quickly erased after Shikyo's selection.

Shikyo has dedicated his time and energy to improving the Dark Brotherhood and enhancing our members experience. His daily work on custom warbanners, sabers, and robes provide our members with special extras that cannot be found in other clubs across the Internet.

In addition to Shikyo's daily activities he has worked countless hour on Grand Master directed projects. These projects include order specific robes, emblems, lightsabers, and various other graphics. These new enhancements will offer our members more customization and invidualizion of their characters.

Finally, I cannot discount Shikyo's service as a QUA and LHoJ since his last promotion. These positions; both intensive, required activity beyond a normal members standards. Combine these positions and Shikyo's work as Herald with his stellar record as an example to our members, and we have a clear picture of someone who should be promoted.

Congratulations on your promotion to Sith Battlelord and thanks for all you do.

GM Sarin Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood

Since his last promotion, I've watch Shikyo rise from Quaestor to Left Hand of Justice and on to hold a position on the Dark Council as Herald. He has done a plethora of robes, sabers and warbanners as well as graphic projects for rebirth and his graphics skills improve with every project. He has continued to mentor to the younger members of the brotherhood, setting an example for the leadership of Naga Sadow as well as the rest of the clans. He is dedicated to the continuation of this club and it is with pleasure that I recommend him for this promotion to Sith Battlelord.

Shikyo has been a a very solid addition to the Dark Council. Kaine is a hard act to follow, but Shikyo has performed admirably, picking up exactly where he was needed, creating large numbers of sabers and warbanners. But Herald is not all just dossier items, although many may think that's all there is. Shik has had the daunting task of working his own personal art style to match the current style of the site that Jac, Kaine and I have worked to establish. He's also worked long hours learning a new and difficult program that is more or less essential to Heralding since I took the job. On top of all this, he has been instrumental in several projects that fly underneath the radar, secret stuff that will be released soon...both as a sounding board, an idea man, and -even harder to come by- as backup to get the work done. And all of this neglects to discuss the fact that he did serve as a Quaestor and as Left Hand of Justice since his last promotion. Such dedication and hard work is hard to find in any member, and I think that this alone speaks to why he should be elevated. As such, I am honored to reccommend Shikyo Keibatsu to Sith BattleLord.
