Knight Gobhainn Sgath, has been and continues to be one of the forces in this house that keeps me active, I joined the DB in the latter stages of the last GJW, Gob was right there encouraging me to participate and I earned 4 Seals of Pain in the last week of the GJW and I credit him with my getting these awards because he was so encouraging. He stayed with me and kept on me encouraging me and still does to this day. I made Jedi Hunter in record time because I had Gob right with me being as active with me as the day I started. Even though I know he had other Novices to watch over. I credit him with the fact that I am now a Battleteam Leader, it was his encouragement and support that got me through all the hoops and hurdles to this point. Dark Jedi Knight Gobhainn Sgath if anyone I know within the whole Clan, is deserving of this promotion.

Knight Gobhainn Sgath was appointed to the position of Envoy and Rollmaster of House Archanis five months ago and during the time since his appointment he has consistently shown himself to be an excellent addition to the Summit of the house. He performs his duties as Envoy/Rollmaster extremely well - there has not been a single Apprentice who has joined Archanis, since his appointment, who did not receive a welcome email within 36 hours of completing the Test of Lore. Furthermore, Gobhainn is always quick with an email congratulating someone on their promotion and giving them their trials to complete for their next. Even though it isn't his job to do so, he usually also sends out a congratulation email when someone is awarded a merit medal - something which speaks highly to his character and commitment to motivating the members of House Archanis to perform better and earn more rewards. Recently I had to take applications for Aedile of the house and Gobhainn was one person who I was considering for the potion. However when I spoke with him about it, Gob told me that his goal was to get 36 Knights in Archanis and that he felt he could make that goal become reality better if he was Envoy rather then Aedile. Gobhainn's dedication should set the standard for what all leaders in the DB strive for. I am very proud to be able to say that he is the Envoy and Rollmaster of my house, Archanis wouldn't be where it is today without his hard work and dedication.
If that wasn't enough to earn Gobhainn a promotion, there's also his, as of yet unrewarded, activity in the latest Great Jedi War that must be taken into account. Gobhainn excelled at upholding Taldryan's principle of leading by example; he earned fourteen Seals of Pain for participating in events during the War including: six submissions to the poetry/graphics ladder, three submissions to the fiction ladder, participation in the Other Gaming ladder (earning three Clusters of Fire), participation in the JK/JO/JA ladder, participating in the clan Run-On (earning a Silver Nova for Taldryan's second place finish in the event), as well as the Embracing the Loss and Evacuation of Lyspair events.
Gobhainn Sgath has shown himself to be not only a leader worthy of praise, but he has kept true to his beginnings as a normal member and continued to actively contribute to the Brotherhood through participating in competitions. In light of these two facts, I hereby recommend that Knight Gobhainn Sgath be promoted to the rank of Sith Warrior.

Crix and Ludy have said a great many things, and I wont just repeat them all, but will confirm Gob is ready for a promotion to the rank of Sith Warrior. Upon his return to the House and Clan he has set his goals on helping the units as much as he can, above his own rewards, and thats what really shines to me in folks. His efforts in the Great Jedi War, taking part in nearly 15 events, was appreciated on so many levels, to me he helped really show Taldryan stands up united in Vendettas, no matter the costs. For over five months hes done an excellent job being on top of the Envoy duties in House Archanis, keeping all the new members in the loop on how to advance. Leadership takes up a lot of time from anyone, but Gob still had time to grab some Clusters of Fire and even a Crescent over the past couple months. For everything Gob does, Im happy to put in a promotion for him. Thanks for everything, and congratulations!
