Elevation Request: Sith Battlemaster Brujah Tamalar (5058)

It has been a long, arduous year since Brujah's last promotion within the Equite Class. He has held numerous positions, been tossed about within the Clan Hierarchy upon the whims of former Consuls and maintained a positive, active presence through the entirety. So it is with great honor that I reflect on his path this past year... his accomplishments, service and initiative... as I recommend his advancement to Sith Battlemaster - so he may further polish his skills in the Dark Side.

For personal activity, Brujah has excelled with great vigor and enthusiasm. And for such has collected a ram of awards and medals: Grand Cross of the Dark Side, Anteian Cross, Dark Cross, Crescents ( Cr-R, Cr-A (x4), Cr-S, Cr-E (x2), Seal of Duplicity (x3). Advanced his star wars and Brotherhood knowledge through the Academy on Lyspair through thirteen (13) courses: Force Philosophy, Force Alchemy, Leadership Fundamentals highlight the list. Successfully joined the Grand Master's Royal Guard and rose to the rank of Preceptor with incredible haste by participating in a heavy amount of GMRG competitions during the Campaigns (as a Guard Captain, I can attest). Count Brujah's extraordinary participation in countless House (House Feud), Clan and DB-level (MTs & GJW) competitions... you can seldom ask for a more gifted member.

However, his feats do not rest in activity alone. Brujah has been in the service of the Clan for over three months in the past year as ProConsul of the Clan. During this time Brujah led the Clan through a Clan Feud and opened the Great Jedi War as a prominent leader - unfortunately computer trouble robbed him of his glory, forcing him to the sidelines. However, during those three and a half months he created competitions, awarded promotions and medals, worked diligently on organizing a Clan that was in disarray and groomed himself into a strong-willed leader and role model of the Clan.

Alas, his work does not end there! Brujah's most impressive feat is his work on behalf of the Antei Combat Center where he has served as both Operator and Judge. During his tenure of this post he has opened/written some 125 battle introductions, judged over 30 battles, trained/qualified some 15 ACC Initiates! As a valued member of the ACC society, Brujah has been available to work with the Staff to provide input/feedback on the creature battle system, competitions - even the creation of the Sonic War Blade in the ACC Armory. All of this he has done in tandem with his other projects and work on behalf of the Clan (GJW Leader, 20 pages document detailing Clan's ships, provided Caliburnus with a large portion of it's House history, created/drove participation initiative through 'HC Activity All-Star' program).

There is nothing left to say... this member is wholly deserving of this promotion for his excellence to the Brotherhood, Antei Combat Center and Clan Scholae Palatinae. For this club is, truly, a better place due to his presence. Thank you for all you do, Brujah!

Apprentice Sapphire Corliss has recently come to my attention as one of the most active newest members of the Brotherhood. She has already chatted with us in the Clan's IRC channel, #scholae, and passed the Test of Wisdom. For her interest in advancing her education through the Shadow Academy and chatting with us, I recommend Sapphire Corliss to be promoted to the rank of Novice.

Apprentice Bruticus has earned a Cluster of Fire, which is a basic activity in the house, so as outlined on the CNS Promotion Guidelines, he is eligible for a promotion to NOV. Congrats!

Bruticus, 2006-12-26 23:00:00 UTC

I, Obelisk Prelate Dranik, do henceforth and hereby recommend Katarzyna for Promotion to Novice. The reason behind this is that she has completed her Character History, which warrants her Promotion to Novice according to the Tarentum Promotion Guidelines.

Elevation Request: Jedi Hunter JH Gavan (7610)

Gavan has been, and continues to be, my Apprentice... an odd pairing as I am a writing specialist and he is a proficient MMORPG gamer. However, I believe we have both learned well from one another and it is my honor to scribe yet another benchmark in his Dark Brotherhood career: his advancement to Jedi Hunter.

Gavan, in the past three months since his last elevation, has accrued forty five (45) Clusters of Fire (CFs) from a combined four (4) Gaming Nights (Tuesday & Thursday). Submitted a graphic of his character in a battle (via SWG images - clever way to visualize characters!). Participated in several of the House Feud competitions (though not enough to earn a Merit medal: 3) and has continually been an active part of our MBs and IRC network!

However, the great majority of work that Gavan does comes on behalf of the DBPA. Gavan is a DBPA: Darth Lord and maintains that regal status for a reason. Over the course of time (since 2003) Gavan has been an integral part of the DJB Guild. During Pre-CU (Pre-Combat Upgrade) when regular runs would be made on Theed or Fort Veers to kill Rebel players. During this time, Gavan slotted well over a 1000 PvP kills on behalf of the DB. Additionally, Gavan helped with raids to the Death Watch Bunker (to collect rare Mandolorian armor parts) and the Corevette Run (to collect the rare AV-21 speeder core).

Next came the Combat Upgrade era... a sad time in Brotherhood history as the original PA crashed upon the rocks of SWG depression (the demise of the first DBPA). During this time Gavan remained without a guild, choosing instead to stockpile items for future events and re-tool his character sheet.

Then the New Game Enhancement (NGE) era was upon the young member. Scrapping his level 80 character and re-tooling a new level 90 Dark Jedi Master (within the DBPA) Gavan quickly ascended to the top and quickly became an Imperial Ace Pilot (Storm Squadron) and an integral part of helping new and old members alike. Refraining from the standard PvP, Gavan instead works with young members of the DBPA (like myself) clocking countless hours in helping them quest, level, collect new gear and Master their pilot skills. It is estimated that Gavan has helped almost 100 members attain Ace Pilot status, a great many of those within the Dark Brotherhood. Additionally, Gavan works with new members - helping myself advance rapidly to level 21 - and spending well over 12 hours by my side (without me asking).

Regardless of whether or not his Master is continually playing, Gavan still remains an integral part of the DBPA - helping advance the cause of the Pilot sub-class, making time to assist Raidoner with tasks and helping the new members that flock to the DBPA's banner.

For all of his achievements and work on behalf of the Dark Brotherhood, I believe this member is ready for elevation into the ranks of Jedi Hunters within the Brotherhood.

Since being promoted to Protector, Oran Gootan has passed all of the requirements asked of him for his promotion to Guardian. He earned a bundle of CFs for participation in various gaming events across different platforms. He was also awarded an Amethyst Crescent for his placing in a competition, and a Seal of Duplicity for his participation in the 6th GJW. After coming to me and Malisane for a final task, he was asked to make a graphical contribution, a task he did admirably - modelling the castle of House Ludo Kressh in a game editor and submitting to us several screenshots. After earning his awards and giving us a picture of 'Castle HLK' - something long overdue ;) - we feel PRT Oran Gootan has earned the rank of Guardian.
