Padawan Zanothi Nightblade has had a long journey to this moment. According to the site, he first joined back in 2005. After spending some time moving around and time in the rogues, Zanothi settled into Clan Odan-Urr. He has been consistently active in the Clan Telegram channel since his return.

Since his last promotion, Zanothi has competed in one manual competition, two regular competitions, a timed competition, and one container competition. Also since his last promotion, Zanothi earned himself five Pendants of Blood and four Clusters of Earth. Also he has completed eleven Shadow Academy Courses and earned one degree.

It is my pleasure to recommend Zanothi for his promotion to Knight! Congratulations, you have definitely earned it my friend!

Colonel Len Iode, 2019-01-03 21:32:13 UTC

Zanothi has been a real treat to have as an apprentice. He always goes above and beyond to find every possible thing that he needs to know, does what he needs to do and looks for more. Real life has interrupted his progression to this point, but he has tirelessly soldiered on the best he could. He may not have an impressive ID Line yet, but he has the heart and the drive to entire the rank of Knight. As someone who has helped him since his first steps on the Light Path, I've found myself wanting to do more just to not be shown up by him. In time, I expect him to be able to extend that inspiration to others and definitely make a name for himself.

Zanothi Nightblade has weathered the storm of my tutelage, taking every criticism in stride and learning from the mistakes made. He has shown to me that he is worthy of this promotion and I add my own voice to that of Len in this recommendation. Congratulations, Zanothi. It's been a long time coming.

Over the past few weeks, Zanothi has become the latest in a storied line of Odanite journeymen to blow up the consul's inbox with SA and Fist notifications. Active JMs are the lifeblood of this organization and I've been delighted to see Zanothi dive back in since his return from the rogues.

This knighting has been a long time coming, and I only hope that Zanothi sticks with us for just as long. Welcome to the big leagues!

Azmodius Equesinfernum has been quite the workhorse since his promotion last year. As an EQ2, he has participated in 104 competitions, as well as organized or co-organized nine competitions, including for the Mysteries of Aliso lore event. Most recently, he participated in four events during the Rite of Supremacy: Meridian (during which he won a Bronze Nova for the collaborative propaganda event) and in two competitions for the Nightmare Before Sithmas event. In total, he has amassed a Legion of the Scholar, 30 Clusters of Graphite, 27 Clusters of Earth, seven Clusters of Ice, 57 Clusters of Fire, three Pendants of Blood, one Crescent with a Topaz Star, six Crescents with Emerald Stars, ten Crescents with Sapphire Stars, five Crescents with Amethyst Stars, and two Steel Crosses.

Azmodius served as Aedile of House Ajunta Pall until April of 2018, then transferred to be Aedile of Karness Muur until August of the same year. During his tenure, he consistently was a present, active, and supportive leader. Members could always rely on him to be available to chat via email or Telegram, and he worked hard with his Quaestor, Furios Morega di Plagia, to provide a fun experience for his house. While it was hard to say goodbye to him after he stepped down, he left some enormous shoes to fill, and our new leaders were happy to live up to the same work expectations as he did.

The best leaders lead by example, and Azmodius is no exception to that rule. It is because of his leadership and his activity that I am honored to recommend him for a promotion to Equite 3. Well done, Master of the Loincloth.

In the past year alone, Azmodius has gone from being my fellow Aedile, helping me and encouraging me in the position, to being my Aedile as I took on the position of Quaestor, still there to help and encourage me. As long as I have known him, Az has been an incredibly reliable, supportive and amazing member of our Plagueian family as well as a good friend.

In his time as my Aedile, Az was a hard worker who always made sure to keep up a good rapport with all of the members of Plagueis, not just House Karness Muur, and he constantly did so with positivity. Since stepping down as Aedile, he hasn’t let something like school get in the way of being a part of the clan, checking in when able and continuing to participate in events such as the Rite Of Supremacy and The Nightmare Before Sithmas. Azmodius, I am both proud and happy to see you reach Equite 3 - drinks are on you!

~TuQ’uan Varick Quaestor of Karness Muur

While I might have disagreed with Azmodius’ choice of alcohol in character, working with him out of character was nothing short of a pleasure. He was an amazing part of the summit for a very long time and a stalwart we could always count on. Az was an important part of the Vacation on Dagobah event which was a blast for both me and other members of the unit. He’s more than worthy of this promotion, and I hope to see him continue to be an asset to Plagueis.

It has been quite a while since Gaius Julius Caesar has received a promotion - in fact, it’s been almost nine years. And as the years have gone by, it’s clear that his work and activity ought to be recognized. Unfortunately, while some of his activity logs have been lost due to the various changes to the Brotherhood website, I firmly believe that he has more than earned his promotion to the third Equite rank.

Since his last promotion, according to the site’s numbers, Julius has participated in 140 competitions. He has written over 15,000 words for writing competitions, passed 63 Shadow Academy courses, and earned seven Shadow Academy degrees. He has also amassed a variety of awards and accolades, including five Clusters of Graphite, 37 Clusters of Ice, four Crescents with Emerald Stars, four Crescents with Sapphire Stars, five Crescents with Amethyst Stars, eight Crescents with Ruby Stars, four Crescents with Diamond Stars, a Bronze Nova, two Anteian Crosses, and two Steel Crosses. In the latest Rite of Supremacy, he earned 12 Seals of Fury, and in the most recent Plagueis event, Nightmare Before Sithmas, he participated in eight out of ten competitions. His activity in competitions and his presence on Telegram are indicative of his dedication to the clan and its members.

However, it’s not just his participation in events that warrants praise. Since the beginning of 2018, Julius has been a regular member of the clan podcast (PlagCast), offering his insights from his non-leadership role in Plagueis. He has served as a mentor for various members who wish to see their work in the club improve, and he has consistently served as a team player when it comes to vendettas and events, encouraging members to participate and offering his services as needed. Most recently, Julius has expressed interest in creating more competition outlets for Journeymen, as his wish is to provide more opportunities for our lower-ranked members to shine. This is immensely admirable to me, and it proves that you do not have to officially be in a leadership position to actually be a leader.

It is my honor and privilege, consequently, to recommend Julius’s promotion to EQ3. It’s been a long time coming, my friend, and you have truly earned it.

~ Ronovi Tavisaen, Dread Lord’s Wrath of Plagueis

Julius may not hold a leadership position, but he is a community leader, always reaching out and checking in with others, whether that be in everyday conversations or pushing for activity in competitions or events. Julius is someone I have seen constantly striving for not only the best in himself, but others as well. When a call went out for members to join the PlagCast as a host, Julius stepped up and offered to be the voice of the “regular member” and has done an incredible job so far, adding his own unique perspective to the podcast and both answering and asking questions that his fellow hosts may not have considered due to their own leadership positions. I am always impressed by what Julius has to offer, and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for him. This promotion is a long time coming and well deserved, my friend - now Quit Your Wining!

~TuQ’uan Varick, Quaestor Of Karness Muur

Julius has been a highly valued member of the clan for some time, and it is a great pleasure to finally recommend him for a promotion. Though he’s been in and out of the clan over the years, whenever he’s been around, he’s been active and engaged. He’s always been willing to offer ideas and thoughts from his extensive experience in the DB. As Ronovi mentioned, Julius has been a regular on the PlagCast since its reboot and has been an excellent addition to the team. Working with him has been a pleasure, and I hope to see a great deal more in the future.

Congratulations on this promotion - hope to see more in the future!

From the point of joining COU and Hoth, Dral has made great efforts to show his support for the porgs by his accomplishments in the community. Since his previous promotion, Dral has been greatly active with 44 total competitions with taking home 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 2 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 2 Crescent with Sapphire Star, and 1 Crescent with Emerald Star. In addition to his participation in competitions, he was substantially active in the Rite Supremacy with 18 Seals of Fury and winning several of those competitions. These competitions include 8th in Faction Creation, 21st in Jedi Academy Bracket, 24th in the PVP battles, and 4th in the X-Wing Fighter flash game. Outside of what has already been listed, Dral has also received 6 Pendants of Blood, 27 Clusters of Fire, 9 Clusters of Ice, 185 Clusters of Earth, and 12 Clusters of Graphite. Other activities in DJB include 21 Shadow Academy courses and 5 degrees obtained in total.

To be awarded the rank of Equite is one of the greatest honors that one canreceive and Dral is well deserving of this promotion. This is a big step from Journeyman IV and sets in motion success for the future. With great honor, I wish to express appreciation for your contributions and I know I will continue to see great things from you in the future.

Dral proved himself. Plain and simple. He's still got more he can prove to CoU and the DB too. During the RoS, he would hit multiple contests within the same bin. If you take into consideration both of his activity in the collaborative bin, he was part of both the Run-On team AND making a faction. He voluntarily worked with Nefin to do the faction creation, so that Nefin could have a chance to hit that bin. He went out of his way to guide and help a member be active and participative when he didn't need to do that extra competition, it wouldn't have made much of a difference unless he placed. He had a newer member in mind, which shows the servant style of leadership. Dral is credible both as a caring member the DB wants to keep around and to a responsible leadership position when the next one becomes available to him. He's a treat in chat, but more so he's busted his tail as much as I have in both enjoying and helping the DJB. If I made it to EQ1, he definitely deserves it too. His activity before, during, and even after the RoS proves it.

Creon Neverse, 2018-12-13 21:59:01 UTC

Dral is a whirlwind of energy with a propensity to flip everything in sight, including his own PCON. Since he has joined Odan-Urr he has been a great member and a steady contributor to our community, both as a valuable addition to our TG channels and as a recruiter for new members. This even included helping his recruits learn the DB during a very busy Rite of Supremacy event. People tend to forget how much work it takes to individually coach new joins through big events but I promise you it’s not trivial. In addition, he has engaged in conversations pertaining to fictional aspects of his House, showing an urge to help not only himself but his fellow house mates as well. These opinions from our members are crucial to a well functioning team and greatly appreciated.

Overall, I believe that he has shown us that he is ready for Equite, in both activity and where he directs it. I am excited to see his future accomplishments in the clan and am proud to recommend that Dral be promoted to the rank of Equite 1. Congratulations on your promotion!!!

gives heavier tables to flip now you’re an Equite

General Ronovi Tavisaen, 2018-12-18 15:41:31 UTC

Since the previous promotion, Nefin has proven himself in terms of activity as he has taken away from the 12 competitions he has participated in a 1 Bronze Nova, 1 Crescent of Emerald, 56 Clusters of Earth, 12 Clusters of Graphite, and 10 Seals of Fury (with participation in the Rite of Supremacy). Of the 12 competitions (with containers), he has participated in a various amount of competition types (without containers being 9). He has also passed one of the courses from the Shadow Academy and participated in DB gaming as shown with his CE awards.

From what I’ve seen with Nefin, he is a strong and level headed individual who works hard upon his skills within DJB, as seen having earned a Bronze Nova in the recent RoS. With this, I would like to recommend him for a promotion to Knighthood.

Talking to Nefin about the brotherhood started a bonfire of activity I did NOT expect. He's the "A-List" type for getting things done. He wiped the floor with the SA, his Prometheus reports, and RoS activity all within the same timeframe. I can't imagine what having to reel it back post RoS is like for him. Actually, I can. He's been actually still going strong even after his activity in the RoS. Guy is hitting and making comps to keep the energy high. He talks to others, both sharing his experiences and learning from those who have been around in the club longer. There's a long-term interest, and with that kind of activity level in the long term, no doubt he will someday make great changes to make the Brotherhood a better website than it was yesterday. Just like we all want to keep doing for the DJB. Welcome to DJK.

It may not seem much now, Nefin, but it's the best rank in the club.

Creon Neverse, 2018-12-13 17:41:26 UTC

It is an understatement to say that Nefin hit the ground running once he transferred in to COU. After coming to us from the rogues and almost immediately reaching JM3, Nefin wasted no time in throwing himself at the Rite of Supremacy. He earned full participation during phases two and three and earned credit for three event-long bins. Given how close and hard-fought the event was, I can say that having a new member like Nefin was a stroke of incredible luck for us and we're very happy to have him. I look forward to watching his continued rise through our ranks.
