Nightroad has completed all the tasks demanded of him by the promotion guidelines. To earn his promotion to the rank of Protector; He has registered at Taldryan.net, been present on IRC and email on numerous occasions, completed the Advancement Survey, created his ACC character sheet and participated in two competitions (Daar's Stocking and Shadowmorph motto).

Huldrych is a bright and promising member of Cestus and Tarentum. He has completed 5 Shadow Academy courses, and was the first to post in the Cestus Run On that I had started for the House. This, as our Rollmaster says: "Goes beyond normal NOV stuff." Thus I find enough reason for him to be promoted to the rank of Acolyte.

Gunthur has passed the ACC Initiates Course. This is enough to warrant a promotion to NOV. ~Quejo Drakai Xyler, QUA of HQD.

It is unfortunate that, from time to time, a member of the Brotherhood may find him or herself a bit short on what they have earned. There could be any number of reasons for this, including the fact that so many leaders get caught up in the present (especially when just entering the position) that they fail to look on the past. In Ziltopia's case, this is what I perceive to be the greatest issue.

Since her last promotion (5 years ago), Ziltopia has not entirely given up on the DB, though she has become somewhat disheartened. A review of her record, however, reveals that she has done much in that time.

She has participated in numerous Brotherhood, clan, and house competitions, evening grabbing a bronze nova in a Great Jedi War, which is no small feat. She set up an in-character, quasi-RP thread on the clan message boards which ran well, and has even seen some more recent activity. She has also passed several SA courses since her last promotion. Most recently, she was the first to participate in my competition to suggest clan comps, and she has indicated a willingness to be active even more.

To just rely upon this activity, however, might seem a bit off beat for a promotion even of this level. Fortunately, Ziltopia also served as a Rollmaster, DV staff member, DV Tribune, and a battleteam leader.

For her long term service, both in day to day activity and various positions of responsibility, I hereby request that Ziltopia be promoted to Krath Archpriest. I hope to see even more from her in the future. ~Anshar Kahn Tarentae

Since joining the Dark Brotherhood, The Atrix has created his character history. He has also contacted me. For that, The Atrix deserves a promotion to Novice.

Congratulations, Novice!

On behalf of Clan Naga Sadow, I am honored to elevate Malisane to Sith Battlelord. Malisane has served as a dedicated and loyal member to CNS. Working behind the scenes on the wiki and several other projects, Malisane has continued to excel at improving his Clan. Congratulations Malisane!

GM Sarin

Malisane has been an integral part of Clan Naga Sadow, since I've been back from retirement, he has played a key role in helping me get this Clan back on track through his work with the Wiki, organizing competitions, and assisting younger members with their work on the Wiki and developing writings skills both in run-ons, and through conversation on IRC.

The Orian Invasion Competition was the brainchild of Malisane, and as far as I know, he pretty much organized the events and oversaw their execution. It was not the best comp, no. Yet, it was a successful story to add to our fictional background. Malisane developed the plot and events. He's currently working with me to develop my next competition: A CNS-history centered Artisan's compeition.

The three top contributors for CNS's wiki are myself, Xanos, and Malisane. Although I rarely write much there these days, the three of us are in constant conference about the various articles and what will or will not be included. Malisane and Goat do the majority of the grunt-work. The Wiki is of vital importance to our Clan. Malisane's efforts towards its growth are equally important.

Finally, when a new member is tasked with work on the Wiki, I generally ask Malisane to assist them. Aries, Anubis, and Tash are all examples of newbies who have worked with Malisane on their various Wiki articles. Tash in particular worked with him on the creation of Alabrek Castle's page. He is also a stong presence on IRC, and engages in conversation with everyone. He is open and welcoming, offering information and advice.

Malisane de Ath is an example of what I would like to see in every Equite: He is forthcoming, honest, and involved. While we do not always agree, Malisane is willing to assist despite disagreements. He does not hold grudges, and genuinely cares about the success of Clan Naga Sadow. I can think of no better person for promotion by the Grand Master himself, within Clan Naga Sadow.

Along the Final Way,

Master Trevarus Caerick Consul of Clan Naga Sadow

On behalf of Clan Plagueis and the Dark Brotherhood, I am honored to elevate Krath Priest Cipher K'oranian Isradia to the rank of Krath Archpriest.

Cipher has served as a dedicated and loyal member to Clan Exar Kun and now Clan Plagueis. In the three years since her last promotion she has held the position of QUA twice, AED twice, and Rollmaster once. Her dedication and effort while holding these positions were second to none and she influenced countless new members into staying within the Dark Brotherhood.

Recently Cipher has returned to the leadership ranks and has served as the most active of all Clan Plagueis leadership. Her efforts in reporting, competition running, and serving as a calming influence in Plagueis has provided great benefits for the Clan.

I am honored to award this long overdue promotion to my favorite Halo 3 player. Congrats Cipher.

GM Sarin

In the time that Cipher has been QUA she has been a prime example to her members. She keeps her members up to date with regular reports and always has things for them to do. She reaches out to newer members and encourages them and shows them how they can succeed. Cipher is currently working with the house members to reform its membership base, by helping to restructure the leadership responsibilities and define their roles. She is an integral part of the clan and is deserving of this reward. ~ PCON Ky Terrak

Since joining Plagueis again and becoming a leader, Cipher has continued to show us how dedicated she is to helping us move forward. Releasing reports, competitions, and helping with various house and clan projects, she is at the head of the revitilization of House Exar Kun ~ CON Aabs
