I wish to recommend Juda Kodiak Erinos for promotion for the outstanding work he has done as a loyal member of Clan Arcona. Juda has risen in prominence within Arcona due to his exceptional activity and very clear skills. Finding his place in Soulfire Strike Team, Juda has submerged himself in the talent and skills of Arcona's elite, helping to further his own talents and provide these skills not only for Arcona, but for the wider Brotherhood as well. Beyond his freelance graphics work, Juda is a committed active member of Arcona, who will take any task/competition and complete it to the best of his. All of this talent and enthusiasm has manifested itself in Juda's increased confidence and abilities. He deserves to formally be recognised as an Equite of Clan Arcona. - DJM Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae

Juda… has surpassed everything I expected and hoped for. He has taken to every single facet of the DB life like a duck to water – he writes, he runs competitions, he acts as my counsel on various matters, he’s even purchased a few SW games so that he can MP game in the near future (fingers crossed that he gets an internet and computer that don’t suck), but he also incorporates everything he can into his own forte – his artistry. I don’t have the time in the day to list every single thing he’s drawn, but frequently the DC go to him asking for help on projects, he’s drawn countless images for the DB wiki, notably on member and Battleteam pages and most recently he’s embarked on a unique project called ‘Arcona: Mind Games’ – essentially where he’s drawing a comic dedicated to clan Arcona that the clan decide the plot of. To demonstrate the man-hours he pours into drawing images for Arcona and the DB in general, I wish to perform an experiment: In the last fortnight, the Herald’s office (the Herald himself AND his staff) has drawn and produced perhaps half a dozen images for members of the DB. In the past month, Juda has doubled that. If one man can roughly equal the entire production efforts of some of the reputed best in the Brotherhood, then the paltry DJK next to his name is an injustice. He’s never relented in his activity and promises to one day be one of our greats – it’s high time he was promoted to the ranks of the Equites. - OE Sashar Kodiak Erinos

I wish to recommend Zandro Savric Erinos for promotion for the outstanding work as a leader and member of Clan Arcona. Zandro has been a consistently strong member in Arcona. He delivers any task given to him and speaks when he feels he has something that needs saying. As such I have found him to be a very productive, practical member and leader. Since Project: Resurrection Zandro has been supportive and hard working. He has single handedly lead Galeres without any detriment to the House. He displays a command of the House and has perfromed all his duties to a high standard. With further experience and mentoring Zandro's leadership skills will only improve and I see him being inn the Arconan summit for a long time to come. Through the work he has done in the past months he has more than proven himself as a true general, an equite of the Brotherhood who has grown in power and evolved, and as such he should be promoted to the rank of Sith Battle Master.

• DJM Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae

Zandro is, quiet, unassuming and genuinely nice to be around. He has provided an easy-going atmosphere for House Galeres since he got QUA and also supported the clan summit to the best of his ability, being a vital part of the brainstorming process for many of the ideas we’ve had to keep the clan active. He games when necessary, participates in competitions to lead from the front and runs a few of his own – all in all he’s the perfectly balanced member of the DB, and also sends out his reports regularly and keeps in close contact with both his members and his summit. He never bites off more than he can chew, making sure to maintain a steady stream of activity whilst never burning himself out – the mark of a true leader. On that note, I feel I should also point out that he has held a leadership position (Sergeant of Soulfire, Aedile of Galeres and most recently Quaestor of Galeres) for a total of 11 months now without an elevation. This is unfair on one of Arcona’s stalwarts and is well within the Equite promotion guidelines for the suggested minimum amount of time as a leader.

I wish to recommend Kieran Kodiak Erinos for promotion for the outstanding work as a leader and member of Clan Arcona. Kieran has lead Soulfire Strike Team for four months now, while holding the rank of Dark Jedi night for the past seven months. In this time Kieran has grown in experience and skill as a leader and managed to run one of the most successful Battle Teams I have ever come across. Soulfire Strike Team truly is Arcona's elite battle team - and this man helps if to hold this thoroughly deserved title. Kieran has helped support, deliver and refine many of the Project: Resurrection policies, which aimed to redefine and stabilise the Clan in times of trouble. Kieran even agreed to forfeit his own position, realising that it was for the greater good of the Clan in order for such policy to be delivered. Fortunately, there were few who matched Keiran's skills and he was soon reinstated as the elite BTL. Kieran commands respect and loylaty from his Battle Team and shows it to all others in Arcona. He is a future leader of this Clan and through the work he has done in the past months he has more than proven himself as a true general, an equite of the Brotherhood, and as such he should be promoted to Obelisk Templar.

• DJM Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae

Kieran was given the formidable task of heading up Soulfire Strike Team – a squad that prided themselves on being Arcona’s best. He’s had no command experience prior to this, but looking at him one would have guessed him to be seasoned enough to have served a term as Consul. His maturity and frank level-headedness have been a positive stable influence to the Battleteam and he easily settled into the role as its Sergeant, and under his watch Soulfire has flourished. He has kept each of his members focused and active by getting to know them over IRC, running various competitions for them and co-ordinating their efforts in the myriad of Run Ons that have been thrown their way since his getting command. What’s more, he’s done it with style. He’s continually expanded on the SF wiki page, adding updates to their technology to help suit the DB timeline and story arc and made sure each and every member is as involved as they could be. On top of his BTL duties, he’s also been a voice of reason to much of the house and clan summit, having the courage to actually tell us if he feels we’re not doing our jobs properly or that we’re making the wrong decision on something. His candour is a refreshing change to some of the more sycophantic members of the clan. He has also been instrumental in aiding me create the Arcona fleet and furthermore has been a great help putting it up onto the wiki. I would recommend that Kieran apply for the Aedile spot in Galeres, but he’s simply too valuable as BTL of our best team – the man deserves a promotion.

Corin Kaedin has only recently joined House Caliburnus to be with his former master, Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven. Since joining, he has done many things for the house and Clan. During our latest Clan Event, Reclamation, Corin managed to participate, even though he had just entered the Clan. He was able to achieve second place for the third week in gaming JA/JO, a great attribute to his desire to do more, earning him a Crescent with an Emerald Star. He also achieved third place in JA/JO for two other weeks, earning himself two Crescents with Topaz Stars. Corin is also a continuous presence in our Clan and House trivia events. He received a Legion of the Scholar for second place in one of these trivia events. Lastly, Corin has received several Clusters of Fire for his participation in gaming night. <br><br> Corin has a strong IRC presence, helping those who ask questions. It seems that he does not want to stay a normal member of House Caliburnus. As soon as Rasilvenaira and I got the word out that we opened up a battle team, Corin spoke up, asking to be put into it. <br><br> With all of this, I recommend Corin to a promotion to the rank of Sith Warrior. Congratulations Corin, enjoy being an Equite! <br><br> Yzarc Rellik Kaeth<br> Aedile House Caliburnus<br>

---

<br><br><br> Even though Corin has not been Knight for long, his achievements are none the less worthy of notice. Since his knighting on March 11th of this year, Corin has not been idle, neither in his previous Clan of Naga Sadow, nor in his current Clan of Scholae Palatinae. His exploits start with his ascension to the Commander of House Ludo Kressh's Sapphire Squadron, serving with distinction as their leader, earning himself a Seal of Darkness for his efforts in the ACC portion of the Rite of Supremacy and a Dark Cross for his astounding leadership during his time as Commander. <br><br> Even though his off-line life soon crept up on Knight Corin, forcing him to relieve his command of his Battle-team, his activity did not go down; receiving several Crescents for the various run-ons and other events he had taken part in. Following the Great Jedi War against the Yuuzhan Vong, Corin decided his time in Naga Sadow had come to an end, requesting to be transferred to the House of his Former Master, Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven. Corin has served his new House with an equal drive as he had in his former clan. Participating in several projects as well as earning several crescents for gaming, and placing 2nd in the 3rd week of the JA/JO ladder in the latest Clan event: Reclamation. He has also participated in the House event Deadly Deceptions. <br><br> His activities do not stop there; he has been digging thoroughly into the Shadow Academy, passing 3 courses with high marks, as well as a continued presence in House and Clan Trivia events. Not just content to serve his new clan and house in a normal way, he became part of the newly formed Battle-team Nightmare, as well as gaming outside of the Clan, earning him several Clusters of Fire in a number of ICTEs. <br><br> The ascension into the Equite ranks is a goal many strive for, but not everyone achieves. I have watched Corin grow throughout his time in the Brotherhood, and I am truly proud and honored to present my Apprentice for elevation to the rank of Sith Warrior. Congratulations Corin! <br><br> ~Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven<br> Quaestor of House Caliburnus<br>

---

<br><br><br> In the 8months since Corin's last promotion, he has been a beacon of activity and support to his superiors. During the past house competition, he participated in 3/4 weeks. He is a constant on IRC and is always around when in need of a hand. Below is a list of his accomplishments and it has been agreed upon that Corin is ready to step up into the realm of the Equite Class. Congratulations on your elevation Corin.<br> Phoenix Palpatine<br> Consul of Scholae Palatinae<br><br>

Apprentice Reesa Duluthenstein, dossier 9688, has completed the necessary task to earn the promotion to the rank of Novice. Reesa joined Clan Naga Sadow in IRC to satisfy the necessary requirement. As Aedile of House Ludo Kressh, I recommend this apprentice to the rank of Novice.

Jedi Hunter DarkAmiz is a great asset to our House. Over the past two months, Amiz has preformed amazingly in his job as the Battleteam Leader of Hex, inspiring activity from a team that has seen little or no action since Hel-Pa Sklib left for Dinaari. His enthusiasm and consistent activity on both the member level, and as well as the leadership level are refreshing, considering the winter trend towards inactivity and dormancy in many others. It is my opinion that when it is time for the next generation of Member to step up and take the reigns of command, Amiz will make a great leader who will be able to drive up member activity, and Initiate retention. Recently, DarkAmiz was tasked with a small project, along with fellow Jedi Hunter Lokasena Corvinus, and Envoy Alanna Taldrya to draw up a “Glossary of Terms” for the younger members of the Clan to use, but the project was canceled when it was discovered to exist already on the DJB Wiki. The Jedi Hunters as a group were then given a vague assignment to draw up a Planetary Dossier and Profile of the House’s planet, Taruma. They were given only the simplest of commands, and no clear leader. In this atmosphere, as he had done in the Project before, Amiz took control and began guiding his peers in the direction they needed to head. It’s been through his efforts and his control that the project has advanced this far and gladly offers progress reports to the Quaestor and I each week. Besides being a strong leader, he is also a strong member. Every week I am guaranteed to find at least one Medal Request with his name on it for a Cluster of Fire, and at least one more for a Crescent. Amiz takes all new courses at the Shadow Academy when they are revealed, and has a strong presence on the Clan, House, and DB IRC Channels, as well as applicable mIRC Channels. He can also be found on AIM, MSN Messenger for those in the DB who cannot make it onto IRC for what ever reason. Because of his consistent work effort at the House Level, his consistent dedication at the Member Level, and his steady attempts at better his Battleteam Members and peers, it is my sincere and great honor to Recommend Jedi Hunter DarkAmiz for his Promotion to the Noble Title of Dark Jedi Knight. May this saber serve you well Amiz.

~Vodo Biask

The promotion to Dark Jedi Knight is a long and arduous path in House Ektrosis, and few have the skill, dedication, and loyalty that the Summit demands when granting Jedi Hunters their sabers. My comrade DarkAmiz has went above and beyond what I could ever expect of anyone in their quest for their final steps in the Journeymen ranks.

Earning two merit awards, Amiz has demonstrated his loyalty and long-term dedication to the House. He's been in the Brotherhood longer than I have, and as a Battle Team Leader and now Quaestor, he's been with me for the majority of my time here. Always eager to do whatever was asked of him, always willing to take the next step, and consistently a good person.

His level of participation is unmeasurable. Hosting three of his own competitions, along with some Tal trivia here and there, he participates in almost every competition he can get his hands on within his House and Clan. That's no exaggeration either. As a Battle Team Leader he has done marvelously. His reports are detailed and precise, he promotes activity with great effectiveness, and is a role model for any Journeyman.

Amiz recently joined the gamers in the club, and has earned 82 clusters of fire to this date. His passion for the Shadow Academy has also shone through, as he has completed fourteen exams to this date. He also is a member of the Antei Combat Center, and participates in matches with other Brotherhood members regularly, adding to his all-around nature I've learned to appreciate.

The statistics aside, the main thing that sticks out to me about Amiz is his leadership potential and personal charisma. Even if he did not have an official leadership position, he was willing to run events and host competitions. He currently is the leader of a massive Ektrosis project that is developing the demographics, geography, history, and culture of our homeworld Taruma with a team of three other Jedi Hunters. While some of the other Hunters slip in and out of getting their assignments that he has organized in on time, Amiz always does anything he sets his mind to. I'm pretty sure the word "quit" does not exist in his vocabulary, which in the end works out for him and his peers. An active member on the forums, IRC, and email groups, DarkAmiz truly is the model Ektrosian.

I am honored to award you the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, and I only hope these trends can continue throughout the duration of your time as a Dark Jedi of Clan Taldryan. Congratulations Amiz, you've earned it!

Kalak has done an excellent job in running the trivia on my behalf. He is quick to e-mail me results and he has always found a replacement for himself when he cannot make it, though this is not often. He has sought ways to improve the running of trivia and I will be looking to expand his role in the Shadow Academy in the future. ~DJM Anshar Kahn Tarentae, Headmaster of the Shadow Academy

Kalak Ragnose, as an extension of the Shadow Academy, has been instrumental in organizing and planning the new Knight Commander Competitions for New Membership, which will be rolled out after the beginning of the year. Kalak has been a source of ideas, which never cease to amaze me. It is my honor to recommend Kalak for promotion to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

Kalak has been an outstanding member during his time in CSP. He is a constant figure on IRC and is a great influence that all Journeymen and Equites should take a cue from. He is a fireball of activity and a dynamo in his work assisting the HM on SA trivia. His activity for the clan and the DB out shines even our most experienced members. He is more then deserving for this promotion and to wield a Lightsaber. Congrats Kalak!

Also......RevengeX is sexy. Kalak is RevengeX's student. Kalak is sexy.

For being sexy, Kalak needs a promotion.

It has been one year since this young Krath joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood to embark on his own quest to become one of the galaxy's most powerful Dark Jedi. Over the course of one year, this Jedi Hunter has assimilated into the Brotherhood's unique culture and has become part of our Clan's foundation. Without a doubt, I have enjoyed watching Kalak Ragnose's skills and improve in a variety of fields.

Since Kalak's last promotion, he has earned two Clusters of Fire, seven Legions of the Scholar, six Crescents (2 Emerald, 2 Sapphire, 2 Topaz), four Seals of Pain and one Dark Cross for his participation in the Eighth Great Jedi War, and recently earned one of the Brotherhood's most prestigious honors, the Seal of Loyalty. When Clan Scholae Palatinae battled against the Yuuzhan Vong in the "Reclamation of Judecca" campaign, Kalak participated in eleven events and earned 107 points for House Acclivis Draco, the second-most amount of points for an Acclivis Draco Journeyman. Earlier this month, he ran his own competition, "Hunt of Fun", which received five entries - a pretty good turnout for a House-level competition.

During his stay in the battle team Mando'ad Vode, Kalak's suggestion for the team motto ("Comradeship is the way to victory - Consors est via ad victoriam") was chosen officially. This achievement fulfilled his "Battleteam Leader Task" for his Jedi Trials. He even wrote his own Knighting Ceremony as a part of his Trials and this final piece demonstrates his improvement from the previous piece he wrote for me (a 6-page fiction about a training mission). In addition, he attempted qualification for the Antei Combat Center; he was declined entry as a full member, but he learned from this experience, instead of going on a crazy rant. If he attempts qualification again, I am certain that he will pass.

However, the main reason for this promotion is his impressive career as a part of the Shadow Academy's staff. He has served as the Magistrate of the Head Master for nearly six months; which is impressive through itself. But even more impressive is the work he did during this time. Week after week, he ran two Brotherhood-wide trivia competitions on Anshar's behalf, until the Head Master decided to close down the message board trivia event for lack of activity. As a regular participant in his IRC trivia events, I have noted that they run very smoothly and cover a wide variety of topics, from the Star Wars Expanded Universe to the history of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Originally, Kalak was supposed to complete a Clan Summit task, but Consul Phoenix and former Consul Braecen immediately ruled out the idea; running weekly competitions was sufficient.

Kalak was my first student as a part of the Master-Student Program. Without a doubt, he has surpassed my expectations and the other students I took. If every Journeyman was like Kalak... there wouldn't be anyone to pick on because everybody would be doing their work calmly and everybody would have the awesome, cool personality that emanates from his words.

I have written a recommendation for every one of Kalak's promotions and I know that this will continue in the future. Congratulations, Knight, and thank you for being great.
