• Pontifex Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae: Pontifex Strategos has led the forces of Arcona from the front of three consecutive wars. During this time Strategos has proven his willpower and courage, marking him as one of Arcona’s greatest warriors. Leading by example, Strategos has waded in amongst the enemy with the full use of the Dark Side at his command. Slaying countless warriors, he has led by example rather than words and his example is one that all Equites should seek to copy.

Strategos has displayed leadership and dedication to both Arcona and the Dark Brotherhood and he has earned the respect of his peers and subordinates alike. Strategos has passed beyond the knowledge of the Equite Class and has gained the required skill and power to become and Elder. For his skill and prowess on the battlefield, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Pontifex Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae to the rank of Dark Adept.

Warrior Vardar Fen'Amar Ordo: Warrior Vardar Fen’Amar Ordo performed without equal in the Great Jedi War. Destruction personified, Vardar single handedly destroyed over three hundred opponents in man to man combat. His prowess on the battlefield dominated the five lesser clans of the Dark Brotherhood and all came to fear the wrath of his lightsaber.

Having served as a Warrior for eleven months, Vardar’s knowledge and power have far surpassed his current rank. For his domination of the Great Jedi War and his dedication to the Dark Brotherhood, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Warriar Vardar Fen’Amar Ordo to the rank of Sith Battlemaster.

Vardar Fen'Amar Ordo - Promotion to Sith Battlemaster

I knew this was coming about halfway through the Seventh Great Jedi War, and it's great to see Vardar recognized for his outstanding efforts. If there is one person who has demonstrated commitment and perseverance to Taldryan, it's Var. The leader in the JO/JA/JK ladder, also the most competitive and active ladder, Vardar has shown his skill and finesse for gaming, and used it to his Clan's benefit. The numbers speak for me: "353 wins, 64 losses"; that's more matches than any other Brotherhood member by over fifty matches. Vardar himself holds the majority of the Clan's points in that ladder, and it's safe to say he carried us throughout these six long weeks. Vardar also played a few matches in the BF2/Misc. ladder, expanding his interests from beyond the FPS realm.

Vardar was not solely a gamer in Taldryan, and showed his loyalty through fiction and graphics competitions alongside his gaming streak. Vardar participated in the runon, and made a solid contribution to the plot in his posts. He submitted eight fiction entries (placing in one), six poetry/graphics events, and the Evacuation of Lyspair competition (with three Shadow Academy Courses taken). Vardar is evidently a leader by example in Taldryan, and his consistent IRC presence always encourages younger members to do as much as they can for their Clan. As Assistant Envoy, Vardar mentors Journeyman in their quest for a lightsaber, and has done a nice job so far. I'm proud to award you the rank of Battlemaster, and I only hope your continued service to Taldryan does not cease! Congratulations, Sith Battlemaster Vardar Fen'Amar Ordo!

Vardar went crazy during this GJW. He posted three times in our clan Run on, he did two poetries, five graphics, nine fictions, seven miscellaneous gaming matches, and 465 JO/JA matches easily taking first place. Vardar went all out this Great Jedi War. With out him we could not have won this GJW. Vardar truly deserves this promo for everything he did for Tal. Congratulations Vardar!

• Battlemaster Kraval Novir: The business of war is not limited to the fighting on the battlefield. Forces must be marshaled, supplies must be provided, and equipment must be transported. The Dark Brotherhood is fortunate to have a Dark Warrior in Battlemaster Kraval Novir, who can accomplish these tasks. Kraval has distinguished himself among the greatest of Master at Arms. His work is a thankless and often unnoticed job, yet we could not function as a war fighting organization without him. In the past six months Kraval has processed thousands of requests and streamlined the procurement process for the entire Dark Brotherhood.

Sith Battlemaster Kraval Novir has also recently assumed secondary duties in combat training and weapon mastery. These skills have only added to Kraval’s value as an integral part of the Dark Brotherhood command staff. Processing requests and training recruits are not the most exciting of missions assigned to members of the Dark Brotherhood, but they are tasks that are essential to our survival. For his dedication and effort at improving the day to day operations of the Dark Brotherhood, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Sith Battlemaster Kraval Novir to the rank of Sith Battlelord.

• Epis Dark Sabre Taldrya: Epis Dark Sabre has gone too long unrecognized for his long-standing service to his Clan and the Brotherhood as a whole. In these times of open war, there are those among us who will rise above the fallen and achieve in the face of an enemy whose only mercy is death and whose number is legion. These are the Dark Jedi to whom the lesser among us must look and draw from them inspiration to carry my will to the enemy.

Let none among Taldryan or the Brotherhood forget what Dark Sabre has given us over these last weeks of blood. Let no one look upon him and not see that his scars from this war are more fitting a recognition of honor than any award or promotion. And let none among you address him as Epis hence. He has helped to lead Taldryan to victory through his actions in single combat as well as with his trusted advice to his leadership. For his wisdom in scholarly pursuits and his prowess on the battlefield, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Dark Sabre to the rank of Pontifex. <br>

<br> I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. Dark Sabre was my first Aedile and was always there to help me up until I took over house Ektrosis. DS worked his ass off ths GJW to take first in the ACC portion. He also managed to post in the RO, do a handful of gaming matches, and he did 2 fictions getting first in one. DS has been a great member of the clan for over four years, and has done much since his promotion to Epis. It has been over two years since his promotion to Epis. He ended his term as Quaestor during that time as well as being a Guard Caption in the GMRG. He was also a Magistrate to the Deputy Grand Master and Headmaster while working in the ACC. Dark Sabre also helped the clan in every major event since his last promotion. He worked hard in both the ORoS and the Second Darkness as well as giving everything he had to the 6th and 7th Great Jedi War’s. I’ve been waiting to be a part of one of your promotions for a long time DS and I’m glad I got this opportunity give you something you deserve. Congratulations on your promotion to Pontifex.

~PCON Chaosrain Taldrya

While I don't know DarkSabre on a more personal level, I've still seen his prowess in writing and the mark he's left on Ektrosis. DS is a flat-out outstanding writer, as evidenced by his dominance in the Seventh Great Jedi War's ACC ladder. With forty-three matches, and only five losses, DS claimed first place in the ladder and helped seal first place for Taldryan in the ladder. He had the second most matches in the event, and only times out on three, clearly showing his dedication to Taldryan using his gift for writing, something we desperately needed in this War.

DarkSabre wasn't exclusively an ACC writer, and made a two fiction submissions, placing in one of those, and placed in one of two poetry/graphics submissions. A loyal member of Ektrosis, DS has been here for quite some time and is always ready to pop in and help his fellow Clanmates through their struggles against other Clans. A leader by example, DarkSabre has indirectly encouraged many to participate heavily in the ACC. The monster that was CSP the first half of the War was decimated in the second half as the Taldrya stepped up and eradicated any notion of CSP taking the ACC event. DS spearheaded this, and without is early motivation and perseverance, our success might not have come and Taldryan's race with CSP for First Clan of the Brotherhood even closer. For demonstrating skill, determination, and dedication, I am happy to award DarkSabre the rank of Krath Pontifex, congratulations!

Priest Ashia Kagan Keibatsu: Dedication, selfless sacrifice, honor, duty, and integrity and the terms that not only define Krath Priest Ashia Kagan Keibatsu, but they are the very things that separate her from so many in the Dark Brotherhood. Serving as a leader, friend, advisor, and mentor, Ashia has developed into one of the finest young leaders in the Dark Brotherhood. Her dedication to improving her House, Her Clan, and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole mark her as a future Elder and as a future Dark Council member.

Her efforts in the Great Jedi War motivated and inspired Clan Naga Sadow. Without Ashia, CNS would have had a difficult time maintaining their efforts throughout the war. For her honor and skill as a leader, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Priest Ashia Kagan Keibatsu to the rank of Archpriest.

---

Ashia Kagan Keibatsu is another example of the high quality of membership that we try to cultivate in Clan Naga Sadow. In her time here she has served as a Battleteam Leader, Aedile and now Quaestor for House Ludo Kressh. She is always at the forefront leading in the vanguard and encouraging the members of not just her house but the entire clan to do their very best in everything. Most recently in this time of war she has committed herself completely to securing a victory for her clan and has gone to great lengths to keep the membership informed and inspired. These are a few examples of Ashia's excellent leadership abilities and should stand alone as reason for her elevation to Krath Archpriestess.

On a personal level Ashia is a steadfast and loyal friend. One would be hard pressed to find a friend more caring, more dedicated, and more loyal than this exceptional young woman. Her genuine concern for the membership of this clan and the friends within make her one of the most effective leaders and one of the most quality human beings I have encountered in my life. It is with profound pleasure that I hereby recommend Ashia Kagan Keibatsu for elevation to Krath Archpriestess.

Ashia should be commended, giver her tireless work before the GJW and during. HLK has prospered under her, and I never have to worry that things won't get done or replied to. They always get done like clockwork. I can always count on her honest opinions, to do reports, talk to her charges, foster leadership, deal decisively with issues, and care about her Clan. I know for a fact that she has taken time from RL and home to do what she does. Plus, she works hard in many events, IRC, and before as a leader.... recognized and unrecognized She has added an incredible amount to the overall development of this Clan and the Brotherhood as a whole in her time since the beginning. Ashia deserves to be recognized on the field of battle. Since her last promotion on 2/9/07, she has: Served as AED and QUA, earned cf's,1 ac, 8 seals, a GC,

An AC, 4 crescents and a SoL. She has been merciless in her work for the war, her urging of her Clan and House to participate, and set a great example for the troops. This list of awards does not even cover her current GJW activities, and I know for a fact that many seals and medals will follow. She deserves to be an Archpriestess.

yayy! thanks again. And yes, I do check your dossiers.... muah ha ha

• Sith Battlemaster Dacien “BubbaX” Victae: Sith Battlemaster Dacien “BubbaX” Victae is a warrior of many talents. Over the last year Dacien has served as QUA, PCON, CON, QUA, LHoJ, and P:HM. He has served in each of these positions with distinction and honor while maintaining a high level of personal activity. Dacien’s most recent accomplishments include computer upgrades and analysis to the Shadow Academy, computer upgrades to the Clan Plagueis computer network, and multiple judicial cases as a Hand of Justice.

Serving in multiple positions over a period of time is not a path to power in the Dark Side, but serving in these positions while accomplishing great amounts of work on behalf of the Dark Brotherhood is. SBM Dacien “BubbaX” Victae is a champion amongst the Equite Class and it is time for him to reach new levels of responsibility. For dedication and superior work, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Sith Battlemaster Dacien “BubbaX” Victae to the rank of Sith Warlord.

Dark Jedi Knight Sai Na'Ashar Keibatsu: It is said that Dark Jedi Knight Sai Na’Ashar Keibatsu is one of the most promising members in the Dark Brotherhood. Having served as a Battle Team leader and Rollmaster, Sai ensured the smooth logistical operation of Clan Naga Sadow and helped push CNS forward through the Great Jedi War. This effort and dedication is multiplied when viewed from the perspective that Sai is but a journeymen in the Brotherhood.

Having proven himself above and beyond the status of a journeyman, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Dark Jedi Knight Sai Na’Ashar Keibatsu to the rank of Krath Priest.

---

Sai Na'Ashar Keibatsu is for lack of better words the most promising member I have ever seen in my eight years in the Dark Brotherhood. His enthusiasm for this club is second to none, and his desire to do everything within his power and ability to make it a better place for all is simply beyond compare. Serving as both a Battleteam Leader and as the Rollmaster for Clan Naga Sadow he ensured the smooth operation of his Battleteam the Jade Serpents and the seamless transition of the Master/Student Program from the previous Rollmaster (me). He has maintained meticulous records on the achievements of the members greatly reducing the amount of time necessary for administrative affairs. He has worked with the Envoys of the clan to ensure that new members are afforded the educational opportunities they are entitled to. Furthermore he has held both Masters and Apprentices accountable for their portions in the Master/Student Program; this is no easy thing for a Dark Jedi Knight to hold those who are several grades above him in rank to task. Beyond all of these facts and the fact that he has a newborn child to care for Sai continued to be a contributing member in the Seventh Great Jedi War. The work speaks for the nature of the man, but beyond this his character is second to none. Sai's care for this organization is beyond compare. He works tirelessly to make sure that all members high or low receive the same quality of care and the attention that they deserve. He takes the time and goes out of his way to help members in need and even goes so far as to maintain real life contact with several members so that potential situations can be abrogated even swifter than otherwise possible. In short this gentleman is the very sort of person who embodies the Legacy of Clan Naga Sadow and who is in my opinion a rising star within the Dark Brotherhood. It is my profound pleasure and honor to recommend that Dark Jedi Knight Sai Na'Ashar Keibatsu be elevated to Krath Priest for his outstanding work and exemplary dedication to his clan and the Brotherhood.

Pontifex Troutrooper Tarentae: Pontifex Troutrooper has distinguished himself as a scholar and trusted advisor to all those who know him. Serving at the will of two Grand Masters, Troutrooper has explored the deep mysteries of arcane and esoteric Force abilities. Troutrooper’s knowledge has led to the foundation that will one day serve as the core of Force powers all Brotherhood members are trained in.

Pontifex Troutrooper has also proven to be one of our greatest warriors. Leading from the front, TT has led Tarentum in four consecutive conflicts. His skill and cunning in war has proved to be an enormous addition to the already venerable forces of Clan Tarentum. TT’s combined knowledge and warrior prowess has surpassed that of the Equite Ranks. For his wisdom in scholarly pursuits and his prowess on the battlefield, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Pontifex Troutrooper to the rank of Dark Adept.

There are a few members of the Brotherhood who have been more than worthy to stand among the ranks of the Elders, but have been held back either due to time, or efforts to improve the Brotherhood as a whole. In the case of Troutrooper, he has certainly given of himself for everyone’s gain, and now, the time has long-since passed, in my opinion, for him to be given his true station as an Elder of the Brotherhood.

Even before Troutrooper re-joined us here in the Brotherhood from the EH, I spoke with him on a few occasions. Though he knew lines were drawn, and respected them by virtue of his position, he did not let those lines cloud his judgment, or incite his anger. Troutrooper is, and always has been, a gentleman, an intelligent comrade, and a leader of men. We are fortunate to have him in the Brotherhood.

When he re-joined this Brotherhood, he came to us in Tarentum, and I was more than pleased to have him in the Clan. His efforts began immediately. He accepted a leadership position over a Team of individuals, and worked to provide them with a motivated example, and was a dedicated leader. When he resigned those duties, he did so to focus on a job that he knew would have far-reaching effects, and one that would even benefit those members he “left behind.” When Jac took Troutrooper as his Praetor, I knew that good things would come from the office of the Grand Master and his staff.

I was not privy to the actions taken by Troutrooper, but I know, from speaking with Jac, that TT spent a lot of time on projects for Jac, and did them with experience and concern, and was a benefit to Jac’s staff. Though I cannot speak for these projects, I can say that Troutrooper never failed in his activity in the Clan. TT has always maintained his activity levels, and even working for Jac, he still competed in a lot of competitions, and provided an example for his peers of the drive and tenacity that we can all strive for.

Troutrooper was named a Tarentae some time ago in honor of the work he had done for the Clan, but as exhibited by his activity in this Great Jedi War, his motivation has not failed him. He has shown extraordinary talent by placing in many events, and gaining several wins for his works of fiction. He has not slowed his activity in this GJW, and that actually says a lot. Most of us who have participated in several of these Vendettas know how tiresome they can be, especially towards the end. It takes a great deal of determination to maintain a strong level of activity throughout the entire event, and TT has done so. He is an example to everyone in Tarentum, myself included, but also stands as a paragon of activity and excellence to the Brotherhood.

His History Outline shows a number of medals that speak for his constant activity. Going through his earned awards shows that Troutrooper takes part in as many events and activities as he can.

Troutrooper works for the betterment of all, no matter where his opinion places him. I can say without regret, and with a great deal of respect, that Troutrooper will stand against those, myself included, whom he feels is incorrect, and will back up his opinion without hesitation. No matter what the correct resolution is, Troutrooper has insight and wisdom that can always improve the situation. Though I cannot elaborate on this aspect, I can say that a willingness to stand for his convictions is an admirable trait, and is one I hope to see passed on to future generations of Tarentum through interaction with him.

Troutrooper is more than ready to be elevated to the rank of Adept and beyond. The only other thing I can say on his behalf is, we are benefited beyond compare by his presence in the Brotherhood, and I am proud to see him as a member of Tarentum, and a leader within this Clan, even without position. He is an example, and a friend, and I appreciate all that he continues to do.

Congratulations, EvilAckbar.

• Primarch Sithspawn Taldrya: Primarch Sithspawn Taldrya has gone above and beyond the call of duty in serving Clan Taldryan in the last two years. His efforts have ensured Taldryan victory in two Great Jedi Wars, three Rites of Supremacy, and a House Civil War. His dedication to destroying all those who oppose Taldryan has been equaled by only a few members of the First Clan.

Serving as the leader of House Dinaari, Sithspawn has elevated his outstanding leadership ability and inspired the troops under his command. Using his intellect and wisdom he completed tasks during the war that ensured victory for Clan Taldryan. His leadership has been heralded by the members of his Clan and they have overwhelmingly encouraged his status in the Dark Brotherhood reflect the efforts he has put forth. For his dedication to the Dark Brotherhood and Clan Taldryan, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Primarch Sithspawn Taldrya to the rank of Dark Adept.

Sithspawn Taldrya, the always amazing Ziggy, led house Dinaari through this GJW. He did a fiction, 2 graphics, 2 poetries, won 7 miscellaneous gaming matches, 3 Run on posts, and got the clan 3rd place points in the second Embrace of Pain. But that is only a little part of what Ziggy does. He is has been a loyal member that has been with us ever since he came from the EH over two years ago. Ziggy is always around to help the clan. He has helped us win every big event since he rejoined, and by my count that is three Rite of Supremacy’s, and two Great Jedi War’s. His work as Dinaari’s Quaestor has been very helpful. He helped lead Dinaari during the war and is always ready to help Duga or myself. This has been long coming Ziggy and you really deserve this.
