It's not often that members like Czarnian come around. Since he joined the DB just over two months ago, he has produced a flurry of activity. He has participated in 21 competitions earning 15 placements and even dabbled with organizing his own competition. He dove into gaming head first and has earned an impressive 136 Clusters of Fire, 232 Clusters of Earth, and four Pendants of Blood which elevated him to rank V in the GMRG. He has also torn through the Shadow Academy, completing 46 courses and earning 6 degrees which took him to rank VII in the SA. He even picked up a Dark Cross along the way.

When Czarnian was last promoted, he had already done so much that he merely needed to wait His time for his next promotion. Despite the holiday rush, he still managed to earn a few more clusters in that time.

With his required time in rank and other requirements fulfilled, I proudly recommend his promotion to Knight. Congratulations, Czarnian, and keep up the excellent work!

I still recall the day Czarnian appeared in Welcome chat. A friend from another club who happened to find his way naturally here. A casual conversation led him to decide to join not only the Brotherhood but also Scholae Palatinae.

While I won't repeat all the individual achievements he's made since joining I will point out the notable ones. From organizing a new time of competition comparing images, being awarded a Crescent with Diamond Star, to 375 clusters.

He's made a significant impact upon his house, clan, and the Brotherhood. A knighting is a special day and Czar has earned this honor!

It would be quite easy to go ahead list off the accomplishments of Hunter Quentinshadows, wave them in one's face and show what he has accomplished. However, the path to Knighthood is more than just merely checking off some items on a list. For each of us, it is a journey. Some of us take the quick and easy ways to get to that final of the Journeyman ranks.

For some, that is not the path they walk. For some, like Quentinshadows, they choose to blaze their own way. Though he has taken a route more circuitous for most, Quentin has been found far from wanting. For example, some members have a small show of their excellence presented to them by their Summit. Well, Quentin has two. Rather than merely completeing the barest requirements expected of a member of his station, Quentin has done things like working through Mavens, though Savants and has even managed to earn a Sage in History and Lore.

Though he has stood rank for 187 days, Quentin has participated in a small multitude of competitions to the final tune of 42 competitions. His efforts did more than tick up participation numbers- Quentin also brought home 9 Crescents of varying levels. Quentin has also created a competition for his fellow members to enjoy in the form of a puzzle.

Back to the subject of the Shadow Academy, Quentin has stretched himself, taking on two courses within the Leadership Department of the SA. He has worked his way up to the 4th rank in the society and has since risen up to the 7th tier of the Shadow Academy society. Given that he has already achieved the aforementioned Sage, I think that Quentin has more than proved his worth in at least one pillar of our club. He has even put work into his own wiki page on our club's wiki, to help tell the tale of his character amongst the history of so many accomplished members.

Even when you just consider the activity that Quentin had accomplished since his last promotion, it isn't anything to wince at. Since attained Journeyman 3, Quentin has organized a competition, participated in 17 himself. He has participated in a fiction activity which brought him 5 Clusters of Ice and came in at 2757 words of fiction. As already mentioned he has been pretty phenomenal in the Shadow Academy passing 14 courses and earning not one but five degrees. Since last promotion, let me repeat. He has also garned a small trove of goodies since that time, with 2 Dark Crosses, a Crescent with a Ruby Star, 4 Crescents with an Amethyst Star, 2 Crescents with a Sapphire Star and 1 Crescent with an Emerald Star.

Oh! That reminds me, Quentin also placed in Naga Sadow November, achieved 2nd place out of 8 participants! Even before this, Quentin helped to represent himself and Clan Naga Sadow in our last club-wide Rite of Supremacy. It is great to see a Hunter helping his Clan's cause during a Vendetta.

And I have no doubt he will continue to do more yet. I have no doubt that Quentin will move on to meet and even surpass some of those that have already been observed and chronicled by our site.

I for one look forward to that future.

For now, it is only fitting that Hunter Quentinshadows be elevated from current station to a higher one. Rise as the newest of our JM4s, Knight Quentinshadows.

Drinks will be on your tonight aboard the Peridition.

It's my pleasure to add my support to this promotion for Quentin. He's been my apprentice since he first joined CNS - he impressed me then with his coursework and, though real life stole him away for awhile, I was happy that he still wanted to work together when he returned and I had joined the Dark Council.

As his summit and Promotheus have already attested, Quentin has met and, on a few metrics, far exceeded the requirements to attain to Knighthood. Beyond those numbers, Quentin is active on Discord and stays in touch with me nearly daily to prove updates on his progress and future plans. Though his bread and butter has certainly been the Shadow Academy, he has had a great attitude about learning other areas of the club, including writing character fiction, learning how to wiki and finally to run his own competition. While some of these areas were out of his comfort zone, he was never afraid to ask questions and press on until he accomplished what he set out to do.

I know Quentin has more plans, as he's already shared several interesting ideas with me, so I believe he will continue to be an outstanding member of the club. I'm honored to recommend him for Knighthood!

Hunter Quentinshadows has continued to be hard working new member since his last promotion in March, and throughout his career to date in the Brotherhood and our Clan.

He has aimed his efforts at a wide range of activies, from socialising in Discord with his fellow members, competing more and more courses and degrees in the Shadow Academy, and taking part in competitions scoring an impressive number of crescents as well as seals from the last vendetta.

In additon he has now successfully run his own competition that gained a high number of entries from other members across the Brotherhood which is great to see.

And last but not least he has been awarded two Dark Crosses in recognition of his continued performance and effort.

In short, I am very pleased to have newer members like Quentin in Shar Dakhan and Naga Sadow and if he continues to be active and involved he looks like having a great career ahead of him. I am more than happy to add my recommendation to his promotion to Knighthood.

It gives me great pleasure to put Khryso Mallus forward for promotion to the rank of Equite 3. If there is one statement that sums up Khryso, it would be this: he is as steady as a metronome. He has been an absolute star since arriving in the Clan during the tenure of my predecessor without letting up. He has averaged 168 competition entries per year for the past three calendar years so far, and has maintained that average over the last 8 months since he reached Equite 2.

Khryso has put up activity numbers since his last promotion in April that are truly stellar. He has 109 competition entries in only 8 months time yielding fantastic medal results: 1 Silver Nova and 1 diamond, 7 ruby, 12 amethyst, 8 sapphire, 7 emerald and 2 quartz crescents along with 6 Vendetta seals. In addition, he has written 11,716 words of fiction to earn 34 clusters of ice, while also grabbing 24 Clusters of Graphite and 17 Clusters of Fire. He was additionally recognized as one of the recipients of the Seals of Loyalty granted to Plagueis members this year as well as with a Grand Cross and an Anteian Cross.

He has also been a valued member of the Plagueis summit since my appointment as well, distinguishing himself both in member outreach and engagement as well as project work as well. He has made contributions to his superior's House reports as each is published and served as the primary point of contact with his House members during the recent Pro Bowl as he sent out email updates as the event progressed. In addition, he personally wrote up the House Tyranus headquarters in the form of Fort Dooku as well as completing the massive project to update the Plagueis Clan history article on the DJB Wiki and bring it up to the current time. The latest additions to his massive project, completed since this August, totaled 1,313 words but reflected more work than the number of words would suggest as it wasn't merely composing his own fiction but instead uniting disparate "plot" points from across the Brotherhood as well as the real life shuffles of the summit into a coherent, digestible format for ease of consumption by the Clan. This is often the sort of work that either doesn't get done or is done haphazardly, and Khryso has taken on this project with the sort of zeal that is rarely found. In short, he very much "punches above his weight class" as an Aedile, and his service is not unseen by the Clan.

Khryso is the exemplar of what an active, engaged, and contributing member and leader can and should be. He continues to make a lasting impression on the Clan, one that is well above and beyond what is expected of him. I feel honored to work with him, and even more so to write the recommendation for his elevation to Equite 3. I know this will not be the last step upon your journey, and it is my hope that you truly sense how valued you are to the Ascendant Clan.

You have my thanks, Khryso!

Balthasar has been progressing by leaps and bounds! Having shown great affinity with both the fandom, and the Clan, he's already chewed through 14 SA courses, done 5 comps and earned his first Pendant of Blood! Already a common face on our Discord, he's been engaging with more established members of the Clan with growing familiarity and taken the first steps of establishing their fictional presence with their first character sheet.

I'm proud to recommend this promotion for all the well-earned effort he has shown—and continues to show on a daily basis!

Sinya has continued to be a constant presence of both activity and leadership since last being promoted in July. Since then, Sinya has participated in 54 total competitions while placing in 8 of those and earning 2 Diamond, 1 Ruby, 4 Amethyst, and 1 Sapphire crescents. Sinya has amassed clusters across four varieties, taking home 32 Clusters of Fire and 5 Clusters of Earth for gaming, 4 Clusters of Ice for 1,211 words of fiction, and 6 Clusters of Graphite for graphics entries. In addition, Sinya has joined the Plagueis summit as the Battleteam Leader of Battleteam Tazlin and worked to build a community to drive engagement with members assigned to the team. Sinya convinced me to create a team channel on Telegram to help drive one on one and small group engagement, and, while I initially questioned the idea, Sinya has used the channel to good effect amongst the members of the unit. I was happy to be proven wrong on this one!

Sinya is the kind of member that I think all units and Consuls would wish for as a newer join. Active both in individual activity and, more importantly, in the area of the exceedingly important evolving leadership task of member engagement, Sinya is one of the stars of Clan Plagueis. Congratulations!
