Event History

I wish to recommend Rho d`Tana for promotion for the outstanding work he has done as Clan Envoy since being given the position over two months ago and for being a fanatically loyal member of Clan Arcona. Rho stepped into Envoy in a hope of obtaining more responsibilities and to help him work in close proximity with a House summit so that he could gain experience and get on the road towards a leadership position of his own. His work as Envoy can only be described as incredible. He has proven the worth of the Envoys and delivered excellent results by stepping into the position and, when RL took his other House envoys away, taking on both their workloads, essentially managing the entire Clan’s Envoy work himself. He has taken on a task which can be repetitive and infinite, but he does this with vigour, enthusiasm and professionalism. Rho also reviewed and supported the implementation of the Arcona "Shadow Oath" which has greatly improved the accuracy of the Clan rosters. Outside his duties as envoy, Rho is a hard working, active member who takes part in all competitions offered. He did particularly well in the Clan's Great Hunt, scoring in the top 5 and helped Soulfire Strike Team to retain their title as Elite Battle Team of the Clan. Rho is an exceptional member who I am deeply honoured to have in my Clan. He continues to work for the life of Arcona and in doing so, has shown loyalty, dedication and commitment to his Clan. Rho d’Tana, you have surpassed the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, you are an Equite of great potential and as such you should be afforded the rank of Sith Warrior. I hope to see you rise through many more of these ranks in my time as your Consul. - DJM Mejas Doto, di Tenebrous Arconae

Rho is without a doubt the best Clan Envoy Arcona has seen. Having held the position myself, I know how demanding it can be as it is a thankless task with little to no variation, yet Rho has jumped on it with vigour and tenacity, handling our newer members like a pro. I have never seen such dedication to a single job over an extended period be displayed before, but not only has Rho kept up with his envoy duties, but he has also been an exemplary member, upholding Soulfire’s elite status by participating in every competition we’ve held, scoring respectively in each of them (notably the great hunt, where he was in the top five with a score of 9 points – the member average was around 4). It is high time for Rho to be promoted. - OE Sashar Kodiak Erinos

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 won’t 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 that’s 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 he’s 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, I’m happy to put in a promotion for him. Thanks for everything, and congratulations!

For Taldryan,

Sidarace has proven himself to be one of Dinaari's most active Journeyman in the past few months. Since joining he has shown steady and consistent activity which is starting to bloom into even greater amounts. In addition to maintaining excellent e-mail contact with his House Summit, Sidarace has also demonstrated a moderate, yet growing, IRC presence. More recently he has pass the ACC Initiates Exam, completed his Character Sheet, participated in Dinaari's caption competition, and finally - yet perhaps most importantly - he has started participating in the DJB's weekly Gaming Nights.

<p>Thank you for your commitment to Clan Taldryan, Sidarace. I am proud to elevate you to the rank of Protector. Congratulations!

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!
