Niman. You speak the name and everyone cowers. Not because they are scared of him, though, but because he is just so annoying. He is a little brat, a bug that you can't kill, and yet still he has a great future ahead of him. It may take him a little bit to understand what you mean, but eventually he does get it, and get it he does. He is a great member, the type of members we wish everyone was... well... most of them. In the time he has served as a Jedi Hunter, however, Niman has done his share of activity, and has learned what I wanted to teach him as his master.

It has been three months since Niman was promoted to Jedi Hunter, but in that time he has proven his worth. He has earned two Emerald Crescents, three Quartz, two Topaz, and one Amethyst. He has also earned one Dark Cross and thirty-one Clusters of Fire. Follow this up with six Shadow Academy courses and many ACC battles, and you have a pretty active dude.

Still, I'm sure you're thinking that this isn't enough for the milestone rank of Dark Jedi Knight, and this alone is not. Niman isn't just a regular member earning crescents from competitions and gaming, he is also a leader of Plagueis, Aedile of House Satal Keto. Aside from his great competition activity, which is greater then his crescents show, and his skill in gaming he has also shown his worth as a leader. He's only been Aedile for a short time, but already he has proven to us that picking him was a good idea. He's writing reports, keeping up with house activity, and working with his Quaestor Sunflash on several projects. He will turn out to be a great addition to the clan summit, just as he is a great addition to the clan as a whole.

For his tasks from his master, me, he had to write several stories, two to be exact. The first of which was a short three page fiction. The second, however, was a epic. In nine pages, he told a story of us going on a mission, and during that mission he learned what it meant to be a Dark Jedi Knight, no longer looking up at everyone, but instead being equal with them. He also passed several SA courses, as stated already. We also spent several days discussing just what it meant to be a leader, and while he didn't quite understand it at first he did get the point in the end.

Niman is a great member with a great future, especially in leadership. This promotion is just one step forward, a step forward that is certainly deserved ~ Sith Battlelord Aabsdu, Master to Niman

Niman is a very ambitious member. He participates in many activities, from fiction to gaming, and has an extreme presence on IRC. Although Niman may be troublesome at times, he is a very quick learner and strives for excellence. In addition, with his appointment to Aedile, he has proven his willingness and leadership skills as he creates competitions, encourages activity and assists new and old members alike. Niman has worked very hard and will not doubt continue to be a influential member of Clan Plagueis in the future, he truly deserves a promotion to the covetous Dark Jedi Knight. ~PCON, KAP Valerian di Plagia Orzon

Per House Dinaari's promotion guidelines, Rigar has participated in a Clan competition (Man Those Battle Stations, run by Duga), earned a non-merit award (Quartz Crescent, for the abovementioned Clan comp), completed the Advancement Survey and proven his knowledge of DB web sites to my satisfaction. As such, I recommend him for promotion to the rank of Protector.

Since his last promotion Korroth has completed the IRC Basics, Force Alchemy, Pre-Republic History, Imperial Starfighters Eng/Tech and Training Saber Basics Shadow Academy courses, been active in IRC and email and competed in Orzon's Darkness Descends competition.

Kraval and I were both introduced to the MAA office at the same time. He came in as another voice to be heard from; someone who would have a different perspective on things. From the moment we stepped into that little world there have been numerous projects that have been looked at, critiqued and implemented. As Magistrate Kravel had the exact same work-load as I did as Praetor, going through pages and pages of documents, forming our opinions and spewing our own ideas on things. On top of that he also had to build new policies and opinions from scratch, as well as played a role in molding the current approval/denial process. When the position of Praetor was opened, he was the natural choice for it and has slid into the role comfortably.

When I need someone to take over for awhile he seamlessly takes over the MAA duties; he has played a pivotal role in the bulk of the new policies that have been released in recent months; he is constantly asking what else needs to be done and every single job asked of him is done quickly and in my mailbox within a few days. He's my back-up and the person I turn to when I need a job done or help on something. He has taken it upon himself to learn and grow into his role, knowing which areas he must focus on and gaining invaluable knowledge. Congratulations, Krav!

Since coming into Dinaari and taking on the mantles of leadership, Kraval has always been a resource for myself and for others. When I started managing Dark Fire Brigade, he was always ready to answer any questions I had about the operations of the House, as well as providing me with opportunities and ideas for House competitions. Since moving into the position of Quaestor, Kraval has provided me with the House's leadership resources (activity trackers, promotion requirements, and a list of potential House competitions, among other things). Even since resigning due to his RL commitments, he has made himself available to assist the House, agreeing to train House members in gaming despite the condition of his wrists - and, as I've seen in my own experience, providing useful advice when he does so. Due to his service to the members of House Dinaari and the support he's given me personally, I am happy to support the promotion of Kraval Novir to Sith Battlemaster.

-- Dark Side Adept Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama Dark Brotherhood Fiction Tribune Quaestor, House Dinaari of Taldryan Magistrate to the Deputy Grand Master Judge, Antei Combat Centre DA Seraine "Erinyes" Ténama (Sith)/QUA-T:F-M:DGM/Dinaari of Taldryan [GMRG:IND] [ACC: JUD] PIN #6393

Kraval was last promoted on May 23rd, 2006. That's 9 months since he was recognized in such a way. It's about time to correct that.

Since his last promotion Kraval has served as Dinaari Aedile once again for two months. Once freshjive stepped down Kraval took up the reigns of Quaestor, serving through the Great Jedi War up to the end of the year, a total of four months. During that time he pushed the House to win the Great Jedi War, followed by starting up the System Overhaul project with Chaos once again, continued to push Odium with leadership training, and tried to re-engage the battle teams with the help of Erin. Kraval was great with keeping up activity trackers, getting competitions going now and then, and just being a good helper whenever something was needed.

Even after he stepped down Kraval has helped finish up the System Overhaul, thanks to his wonderfully detailed descriptions. He's been involved in several writing events such as the Season's Greetings comp, Fiction Tribunes Epic Competition, and the Banner of Ice event. He has jumped back into the gaming scene a bit, and continues to ask for anything he can help with. Kraval is just an all around great member and friend to have here in Taldryan and the Brotherhood.

For his service to the Clan in two House positions, his continued efforts on a major Clan project, and his faithful loyalty and devotion to Taldryan I believe Kraval is ready for Sith Battlemaster. Well earned my friend.

For Taldryan,

Obelisk Exarch Duga Taldrya Arkarso Consul and Son of Clan Taldryan Planetary Viceroy of Karufr, Regent of the Kr'Tal System

What can't be said about Moloch? This member has not only competed in almost every competition he can get his hands on, but also is an active member of the community. He has already obtained 1 topaz, 5 emerald, 1 amythist, and i sapphire crescent during his time as an Acolyte. I consider Moloch to be one of the most active members of my House and more than worthy of such a promotion. Continue the great work!
