Zaxen has taken a prime initiative to get involved and be active, as well as to try and come up with a system to get others active. Achieving House Champion and Dark Librarian, while doing numerous competitions, Shadow Academy courses and staying active on IRC. Not only does he want to further his knowledge of the Dark Side through the Shadow Academy, but he wants to further his character and his development along the way. He has gained crescents from his many competitions, showing his hard work and dedication, while helping to mold HMR from past to present. Because of all his hard work and his dedication to his learning, his house, and the DB, I believe Zaxen deserves to be promoted! - DJK Jade Atema, Master of Zaxen.

Zaxen's Master has pretty much already said why this request has been put in, but in order to give a more detailed description I will explain in-depth what the Guardian has achieved. Since his last promotion (2/21/2008) Zaxen has completed the Wiki Basics course (2/26/2008), as well as tasked himself to working towards getting a Dark Maven in History by completing Pre-Republic History (2/24/2008), Old Republic History (3/4/2008) and History of the Sith Empire (3/4/2008), with only two more courses to go. He has also been active as both a gamer and a writer (a rare commodity to have in this club), by being awarded 2 x Cluster of Fire (2/26/2008) for matches played during the ICTE of February 23, along with getting a Crescent with Quartz Star (3/1/2008) and a Crescent with Topaz Star (3/2/2008). However, what really makes Zaxen future DJK material is his willingness to get involved with his House, and because of his involvement three of the Disciples of Ragnos council positions (the Dark Primus, Dark Patriarch/Matriarch and Sword of Ragnos) were picked out as the better names from HMR members on the #disciples_of_ragnos IRC channel (a channel I created to discuss the House development project with its members). Zaxen has completely met the requirements of the Trials of the Guardian; however to make sure that this request would do through I assigned him the task of writing the description of the Dark Library (a minimum of one page of in Ariel font size 10). Zaxen did not only finish the assignment in a few days but completely outdone himself. This, as Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos and 'Dark Patriarch of the Disciples of Ragnos'...I humbly request that Zaxen Dauketrenal be elevated to the rank of Jedi Hunter. - SBM Ashura Isradia, QUA of HMR.

Since his promotion to Protector, Ziij Ru'Zu has continually amazed me. He has completed three (3) Shadow Academy courses (Run-On Studies, Poetry, and the Test of Wisdom). In addition to the Shadow Academy curriculum, I tasked Ziij with writing at least three (3) pages of character development; he responded with five (5). Additionally, I set before him the task of participating in three (3) competitions, to which he responded (CP Current Events, Satal Victus Insignia Design, CP Caption Returns), and he collected one (1) Crescent with a Sapphire Star to begin his medal case. Finally, Ziij has also tracked me down on Google Chat, so although he doesn't use IRC (which I hope to fix soon!), we have talked and he has given me constant updates on both his status, and the status of his trials.

For outstanding activity and drive, I ask that you elevate Ziij Ru'Zu to the rank of Guardian.

It has been over three weeks since Jerse was last promoted and in that time he has displayed sufficient levels of activity that merit his promotion to Guardian. He has completed four Shadow Academy courses and participated in at least seven competitions. In addition he maintains excellent e-mail contact and has recently started coming on IRC again. He is shaping up to be a fine addition to Clan Taldryan and I am happy to recommend his promotion to Guardian. Congratulations!

Ocih was unfortunately passed up back in 2006 for a promotion. As a Guardian then, he won a Great Jedi War event as well as participated in another event. Not only that he managed to nab 95 Cluster of Fire awards. Ever since coming back from his long leave of absence Ocih has already won a DB wide competition and 21 Cluster of Fire awards. He is long overdue for at least one promotion and I confidently award him for all his efforts past and present as well as look forward to his continued activity in House Gladius.

I come before you today to request that Mibos Elott be promoted to the rank of Novice. Mibos has completed the Dark Brotherhood Basics course and as such has proven an interest in continuing on the Dark Path. Congrats Mibos and keep up the great work! - Lady Isradia

I am proud to see Bal already growing as a member of Clan Scholae Palatinae. As both Master and Aedile of the Novice, I have prepared him both physically and mentally to blossom. His IRC activity is consistent. He just passed the Krath Core, which was required of him to be promoted. Also in his time, he has become active on the message boards and passed both the Brotherhood Basics and ACC initiates course. I expect to see him progress rapidly over the next few week. Congrats young padawan.

I hired Tsingtao as my battle team leader. To lead the Jade Serpents, promote activity and help them get acclimated to the Brotherhood. I knew after only a few short months of doing an outstanding job that he would be a great fit for Aedile of House Ludo Kressh. He has never let me down. He continued his fervor with his new assignment, helping his replacement get their feet wet in leading the Jade Serpents and making sure the newer younger members had the information they needed to get going and have fun. He has made countless suggestions, including starting a training battle team to focus on the newest members of the clan. His dedication and loyalty not only to House Ludo Kressh but Clan Naga Sadow can not go unnoticed nor unmentioned. He is an asset to this clan and it is with pleasure that I recommend him for Sith Warrior.

Since his last promotion on 8/25/07, Tsingtao Ming has shown himself to be an excellent Clan member and leader. He has earned 3 seals (including a Seal of Loyalty, showing his dedication to the Clan), 31 clusters of fire, a scroll of indoctrination, a Bronze Nova, a LSS, and 5 Crescents. During my time as a leader in the Clan Tsingtao Ming served admirably in every leadership position he was in. This includes his recent work as Aedile and Battleteam leader. He ran competitions (2 as well as assisting with judging on others), encouraged activity, put out regular reports and emails, posted in several forum topics and runons including greeting and guiding new members, and dealt with the day to day things a leader in this group has to deal with. Proconsul Ashia has asked my opinion on whether he deserves an elevation, and my whole hearted answer is undoubtedly "Yes." Although he is not active at the moment due to RL issues, his service in the past to Clan and Brotherhood deserves to be commended.

Since coming to the Dark Brotherhood and Clan Naga Sadow Tsingtao has jumped in with both feet on every undertaking of his house and clan. From the beginning as little apprentice he participated in what he could and always encouraged everyone he came into contact with to do the same. In this he showed the first principle of leadership even before he was a leader, Do yourself what you would expect others to do. As an Aedile he brought this attitude with him and inspired his people to do their best while aspiring to the highest levels of excellence personally and professionally. As Tsingtao's master, mentoring him from the journeyman ranks to here I cannot put into words how proud of him I am. This promotion is well deserved and could not have come soon enough.

KPN Shin'ichi Keibatsu Sadow Magistrate to the Deputy Grand Master Son of Sadow - Clan Naga Sadow

I have seen Tsingtao's name appear in a lot of reports and a lot of clan e-mails and even got to talk to him a few times over IRC. And my first impression of him was 'whoa, he'd do great as a leader.' At that time I was still in House Marka Ragnos so had little to do with him. When I turned out to become Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh things turned out differently. He was my Aedile and for the time he was my Aedile he was a great companion. Always on time with report and I never had to ask anything from him. Such qualities in leadership are hard to find and he's got them all. I can hardly speak about his awards or competition results as I have't know him that long, but I have learned this, he is a great person House Ludo Kressh wouldn't want to lose. Therefore, for his great service as Aedile and being an even greater person I am positive he should be awarded with a promotion.
