I am delighted to announce that Dasha 'Jala' Talus is eligible for promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

Since joining her activity has been impressive. She's already taken part in 9 competitions, earning 3 Clusters of Graphite, and she has also been particularly impressive in the Shadow Academy, where she has managed to earn the second rank in the Shadow Academy's society. Jala is perhaps among the most chatty members of the clan, having joined the Taldryan Telegram chat shortly after joining the clan. She has also shown an interest in character development, having already created an approved character sheet.

Finally, she has held the rank of Private for 14 days.

Congrats, Jala!

I would like to request that Aldaric be admitted to the Equites of the Brotherhood.

Since appointing him as my Aedile in December 2018, I have been incredibly impressed with Aldaric. Not only has he been the perfect first mate on the administrative side, but he's demonstrated what is in my opinion the most important quality of a DB leader: he leads by example.

His activity has been first rate. Since his last promotion, he has taken part in an incredible 125 competitions, placing in 56 of these. He has also been prominent on the gaming scene, earning 277 Clusters of Fire and 204 Clusters of Earth. He's also earned 2 Clusters of Ice and 14 Clusters of Graphite.

Aldaric has also recruited a member, Edric, and is in the process of doing a fine job in getting him to his Knighthood.

As Aedile, Aldaric's work has been largely to support my leadership of the house. He's always had a lot to say on developing Archanis' early lore, and his help in running competitions is absolutely invaluable. Without an Aedile as active and flexible as Aldaric, I would find the job of Quaestor much more difficult.

Keep up the good work, my friend!

Aldaric has joined the Clan about four months ago after being appointed as Aedile of House Archanis and since then has been a strong addition to the Clan's Summit. Going up and above what is expected to from an Aedile, Aldaric is always approachable whether it is to engage with other members of the Club on Telegram or by adding his opinion to Clan Projects even not holding back if it means to disagree with those in a higher position. He does so while maintaining a high level of activity, may it be through leading the competition participation board of the Clan or being a forefront member of Taldryan's gamers, all while at the same time being heavily involved in the behind the curtain work that keeps Archanis running or serving as a member of the Fist staff where he organizes competitions on different levels while helping to develop the recently new formed House.

Aldaric, congratulations on your well earned promotion, there are great things ahead of you and you have all takes to grab them.

Aldaric first impressed me with his application for Aedile and he has continued his impressive ways since joining Taldryan. He has been an active member of the community, both in public chat and as someone I enjoy talking strategy and direction with. He has been an activity monster and I enjoy constantly seeing his name regularly show up in my emails as not just a participation but also a regular crescent winner of varied competitions.

Most importantly though is how well he has fit into our burgeoning clans leadership team. We quickly grew from three active members of the team to six and having someone like Aldaric join and integrate so smoothly is such an amazing benefit. Even as someone new to the Clan and a leadership position he seems comfortable offering clear and concise opinions on matters of importance. I honestly forget that he hasn’t just been around for years.

I am so happy Aldaric decided to join Taldryan, and our leadership team. I look forward to working with him even more going forward.

Raiheaux, 2019-03-28 12:55:48 UTC

Over the past two months, Aldaric has show himself to be an excellent member of the Fist staff. From the second he came on staff, he made every effort to learn the ins and outs of every supported platform in the DJB.

Aldaric has run multiple DB-level competitions, ranging from simple flash games to the more difficult Bracket-style competitions. He has approved more activities in two months than anyone else on staff combined, logging over 150 PvE/PvO activities and 14 PvP activities.

Additionally, Aldaric is an extremely positive contributer to the DB Gaming community, regularly sharing gaming news, actively working to play with new members, and pushing activity for Fist and clan Gaming competitions.

Aldaric is a rising star in the club, and I am extremely fortunate to have him serving as a member of my staff. I am thrilled to have the chance to be part of his recommendation for promotion to the Equites.

Congrats Aldaric!

I am delighted to declare that Vor'en Drakar Santorini is eligible for promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

Vor'en has been incredibly active, managing to take part in no less than five competitions, in addition to an amazing 31 Shadow Academy Courses. His excellent SA activity has helped him reach the fourth rank in the SA Society. He has also logged in to the Brotherhood's voice server and is a regular contributor in Taldryan's Telegram chat. He's also shown an interest in character development, having had his first character sheet approved.

Finally, he has been at his current rank for 14 days.

Congratulations, Vor'en!

Emere is proving herself to be an asset to House Qel-Droma. She has demonstrated steady activity, having participated in 6 competitions, placing in 2 of them. She has also co-organized 2 competitions since joining. She has also taken steps toward actively developing her DJB character, having written 2000 words of character fiction.

She maintains a constant and pleasant presence in Arcona chat in Telegram. She has also taken in active role in participating in our weekend roleplaying sessions.

Emere has met the requirement of the minimum of 21 days in JM 2. As such, I am proud to recommend her for a promotion to Yeoman. Congratulations, Emere! I am looking forward to seeing where you take things from here!

I am delighted to announce that Kerlos Yeff Surik is eligible for promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

First of all, Yeff has joined Taldryan's Telegram channel, and has begun interacting with the rest of his Clan. His activity has also been impressive: he has taken part in no less than six competitions and completed an impressive sixteen Shadow Academy exams, which has allowed him to reach the fourth rank in the Shadow Academy society. He has also shown an understanding behind the character sheet system and has created his first character sheet.

Finally, he has been at the rank of Private for 14 days.

Our Masters are our most recognizable, active, and contributing members. Their efforts have made the Brotherhood a better place for years to come. Those achieving this rank have served tirelessly for years, seeking only to make our club a better place for all members. It is the sad reality of our club that as a member achieves more and more, there simply becomes fewer opportunities to recognize their excellence - every additional step requires more and more. But when the time comes when we are able to recognize our most prominent members, it is truly a special occasion. And so it is my great pleasure today to elevate Dacien "BubbaX" Vitae to the rank of Dark Jedi Master.

Over the last four years, Dacien has served the Brotherhood at the highest level. Since his promotion to Dark Adept, he has served for more than a year as Headmaster, as Magistrate to the Regent for 11 months, as both Left and Right Hands of Justice, and most recently, 7 months as Justicar. Dacien has overseen major projects, such as during his time as Headmaster when he lead the development of the Test of Loyalty and revision of the Journeyman Hall (for which he was awarded an Emerald Dagger, and as Justicar, where he updated the Covenant to cover new data privacy concerns and has managed CoJ cases and prevented additional cases through extensive mediation between members and leaders. As a member of the Dark Council, Dacien has assisted in the development of numerous new systems, such as helping with our Paths system, and has organized or co-organized multiple Vendetta competitions and assisted in grading on several others. He played a major role in bringing posssessions to reality, as documented in his second Amethyst Kukri. And, when not serving on the Dark Council, Dacien was tearing it up as an active member of Clan Plagueis, helping the unit through earning two Gold Novae and a Silver while participating in more than 60 competitions.

Dacien is an incredible advisor. Dacien provides regular input in every major and minor decision the Dark Council makes, interacts regularly with the Consuls and members of the Star Chamber, and is absolutely invaluable in the current day to day operations of the club. He has had to make numerous hard decisions on Chamber of Justice cases, and has helped oversee the rehabilitation of several members to places where they are able to really contribute once again to our club. His objectivity and patience has helped shape the policy of my office over the last eleven months, and he was an invaluable member of the Dark Council as Headmaster during his previous tenure.

For all of the reasons I listed above, I am pleased to elevate our Justicar to the rank of Dark Jedi Master.
