Hard-working, motivated, dedicated, loyal, sometimes outspoken, always willing to help…these are some of the terms I would associate with Karel. He complains when it's needed, he offers honest advice when you require it. He will do anything he can to help out, without needing a reward as thank you. Karel's motivation is purely from inside himself. He doesn't need someone to hold his hand and he will do what needs to be done as well as offering to assist with anything that he can.

As our resident HTML expert, he provides quick fixes to every single member of Arcona that needs a report done and inevitably breaks something. We've spent hours going over the most basic of functions for my reports reports alone and he makes time to explain why something is the way it is, so you can understand and learn. Not just prepared to give you the quick answer and get you off his back.

Karel spends hours making sure that his ICTE duties are fulfilled and then still finds time to be active in Galeres. He submits to all his BT competitions as well as the majority of Galeres / Arcona competitions, he takes part in the various trivia events and participates in gaming nights, ICTE's and SIT's. He is the first person I ask for help when a new member joins and asks "Can someone teach me JA?", and he hasn't failed me yet. He is patient, willing and drives everyone to new heights around him. He will never be content with you just giving "your best". You have to give 200% to keep him happy, as this is what he gives of himself.

Since his last promotion Karel has earned himself two Ruby, five Amethyst, three Sapphire, two Emerald, two Topaz as well as a Quartz Crescent. He has also received 2 Legions of the Scholar, a Steel Cross and a massive 702 Clusters of Fire. He has also passed the Test of Agility and Astronomy Shadow Academy exams to add to his extensive list of exams.

Karel is a true hard worker, carefully juggling his duties as ICTE Tribune, with his loyalty to Galeres and Arcona and with real life. His accomplishments in this should not go unnoticed and he deserves to welcomed to the Equites.

Sith Warrior Karel Bruth'Kothae, congratulations, this is truly well deserved.

Karel Bruth`Kothae has been a true driving force in the Soulfire Strike Team - as well as in House Galeres - for just about as far as I can remember. Always quick to offer help with computing issues or gaming difficulties, he has been very active in terms of his online presence and his contributions insofar as gaming is concerned. Also having served first as ICTE Tribune staff, Karel has went on to become T:ICTE, and has done a great job, still remaining active with gaming himself while serving as administrator and score compiler week after week consistently and without fail. Since I inherited the Soulfire BTL position, Karel has been helpfully vocal whenever there were any issues to consider that could affect the whole of the group. For that most of all, I am exceedingly grateful.

Sometimes a promotion to Dark Jedi Knight is the ultimate goal, the crux of what someone would hope to attain in the DB and they would work hard and diligently to attain that goal, just to then sit back and say "I've done what I've done, now I will sit back and take it easy".

Malidir's promotion to Knight was closely tied to the efforts he had made on Arcona's behalf during the GJW, and he had reached his goal of DJK with that stint of activity. But Malidir did exactly the opposite of what most do, his activity in the 6th GJW wasn't enough for him, it wasn't his 'ultimate goal', it just inspired him to do even more.

He is what I wish every member in Galeres would be, self-motivated, hard-working and extremely dedicated. He submits to a multitude of fiction, graphics and poetry competitions, he represents Galeres and ultimately Arcona at every gaming night, ICTE and SIT and he rakes in the medals for his participation. He is not just 'another' gamer, or 'another' writer, his competition entries are well thought out and prepared and will usually place him in the top three. He doesn't just participate for the sake of it, he participates to the best of his ability. Ultimately to take the win for Arcona.

Mal is currently a member of the Fiction, Gaming and ICTE Staff and he also served a successful tenure as a DV Staff member. He is the Soulfire BTL, a relatively 'easy' position by most indications, but having been there myself I know that this is not the case. He is leading a group of people that are as dedicated as he is, perhaps even more so. But Malidir has taken to this roll and run with it. He creates competitions that are fun and illicit great discussion amongst the team members, he keeps them motivated, encourages them and most importantly, sets an example to them. If a member of his team earns 10 Clusters of Fire, Malidir will earn 20, just to show them that they can do better every time. And it's a method that is paying off, Soulfire is most probably one of the most active battleteams in the Brotherhood, even without having a full roster.

He is the Galeres Rollmaster / Envoy and fulfills that position with gusto and dedication. His reports are always thorough and have a light-hearted quality that makes them impossible to not laugh at – a very nice change to the usual dull and dreary RM reports. His work as Envoy is amazing, new members immediately hit it off with him and inspires them to work harder through his own determination. His enthusiasm rubs off on them.

Since his last promotion Malidir has earned 3 Amethyst, 5 Amethyst, 5 Emerald and 2 Topaz Crescents, 2 Gold Novae, a Bronze nova, a Dark Side Scroll, Legion of the Scholar and a Scroll of Indoctrination. This is an impressive amount of medals for any individual. He has also moved himself up in the Antei Combat Centre, attaining the rank of "Learner" and currently sporting a 6-2 win/loss.

He has even made time to complete History of the Sith Empire I and II, HTML Basics, Force Philosophy, Krath Core, Astronomy and Capital Starship Studies at the Shadow Academy.

All in all, this individual deserves to be elevated to the rank of Templar. He has done more than most, showed perseverance, continued activity and dedication to Galeres and Arcona. Welcome to the world of Equites, Malidir and thank you for making us proud.

Eclipse has been a driving force in Battleteam Qel-Droma from the first day he joined. He is supportive of his leader, takes part in all the competitions offered to them, he gladly provides ideas for other competitions and also encourages the rest of the team.

Since his last promotion, Eclipse has earned 4 Clusters of Fire from gaming nights during November as well as one Sapphire and two Emerald Crescents. He has taken part in Galeres competitions such as the Trivia, "Colours", CF War, etc. He also submitted a very well thought out entry to the Arcona MT's of November. Eclipse is a regular participant in the DB MT's, his submission for November earning him a very well deserved 3rd place.

He is in constant contact with Etah and myself, always letting us know what he's up to and how he's doing it and he is also active on the forums. Despite having a fairly limited amount of time, he is a well known name on IRC and is great fun to have around.

Congratulations Guardian Eclipse, this is well deserved.
