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.

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!

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

• Battlelord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar: Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar has displayed the warrior ethos in a manner unequaled amongst the Consuls of the Dark Brotherhood. Leader by words and most importantly deeds, Aabsdu placed himself at the tip of the spear in combating the Yuuzhan Vong. Aabsdu has personified the fighting commander that any subordinate would want to serve under by sacrificing his blood, time, and energy.

Through three consecutive wars and countless skirmishes Aabsdu has displayed the confidence, initiative and skill required to advance. His work in combating the Crimson Empire prior to the War with the Yuuzhan Vong granted him skills that he has put to great use in our on-going conflict and they have granted him the necessary ability to become a Sith Warlord. For his prowess on the battlefield, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Sith Battlelord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar to the rank of Sith Warlord.

• 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.

• 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!

Tsingtao Ming the Merciless has been one of my best apprentices. This young man has taken the mantle of House Envoy for Ludo Kressh and despite having no experience has done an amazing job insuring that all new members are kept apprised of their educational and career options and that the house and clan summits are well informed. He has worked with the Rollmaster to keep the legacy of Clan Naga Sadow not only active but also excited about being in the clan. He has executed his duties with diligence despite being fully vested in almost every aspect of the Great Jedi War as well. Tsingtao has more than proven his commitment to this clan and indeed to the entire Dark Brotherhood. This member is further willing to help any and all members of Clan Naga Sadow with every resource at his disposal, a trait that is somewhat uncommon in the world today, but which we are seeing with increasing regularity within the members of the clan. In summation Tsingtao is an outstanding member and indeed one of the flagstones upon which the Legacy of Clan Naga Sadow rests. For all of his exceptional hard work, dedication, and attitude it is my profound pleasure to recommend that he be elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

Tsingtao Ming: Jedi Hunter Tsingtao is one of those Journeymen who are the backbone of this Clan. He has been House Envoy of Ludo Kressh since just after I took over as Clan Envoy of Naga Sadow, and I have to say, I have been very impressed with his work. Tsingtao has exceeded every expectation of what I expected out of an Envoy. All this from someone who when started as House Envoy had no previous experience of doing the job. I find myself having not to worry about any new member in House Ludo Kressh. Tsingtao's enthusiasm and determination is something I never get tired of seeing, his welcoming letters are outstanding, and he goes out of his way to ensuring new members are looked after. I am really proud of the effort he puts into being an Envoy and I just simply love it that he always seems to beat me to the punch when it comes to sending out welcoming letters. Another part of his Envoy duty he exceeds at, is the KCE Reports that much be sent to the KCB, which contains the new members received in Naga Sadow over the report period. I ask both my Envoy’s to contribute to it, and Tsingtao goes beyond what is required out of him, and writes an Envoy Report that is equal to what is expected from Summit members. This Jedi Hunter has demonstrated abilities far beyond what is needed of, and all this doing a job many see as “thankless”. Tsingtao has proved, in my books that he has what is need to make an outstanding Dark Jedi Knight. So without further ado, congratulations Knight Tsingtao on your promotion, may you wield your saber with pride and continue to do your Clan proud… you have really earned it!

Tsingtao Ming Since his last promotion, He has: Passed the Knight Trials to my satisfaction, and that of his Master. He has amassed 7 SA tests, including participating in the Lyspair Challenge, been an incredible Envoy- I mean this resolutely. Tsingtao Ming makes me feel at ease, as I know I can count on him. He also participated in the JA portion of the war. His documentation of Envoy report was appreciated in the midst of the GJW fray. To my awareness, he has fulfilled his role and trials as a Knight, and then served his Clan as Envoy and fought in the War on top of that. Truly, this supplicant deserves to have his own, true blade- the lightsaber, and Rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He was almost ready to be Knighted before this war- and surely, he deserves the robe and lightsaber now. Tsingtao- use that powerful chi in the Way of Sadow.

• 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.

• 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.
