Eilen Jath, or Techie, has been one of our hardest working and most eager new apprentices. Over the last 14 days in his current rank, he has submitted and had approved a Character sheet, joined and been active on Telegram in his Clan channel and logged on to the DJB Voice server, and done plenty of participating, having taken part in 5 competitions. Additionally, his activity in the Shadow Academy has been prolific enough for him to reach Rank 2 in the SA Society, and he has written many excellent fiction already at 750 words. It's with delight that we promote Eilen to Acolyte and look forward to his continued climb of the Journeymen ranks. Congratulations.

The time has come for Joe Durham to be granted his Knighthood. Since joining Taldryan, he has been an excellent example of activity.

Firstly, he has taken part in an impressive sixteen competitions, earning a Crescent in four of these. His fine activity across a whole range of competitions has also given him ten Clusters of Ice, from writing over five thousand words of fiction.

The Shadow Academy is perhaps where Joe has really excelled. He has, as a result of his careful studies, earned seven degrees, including the Dark Savant History & Lore. He's also shown interest in becoming a leader in the club, having passed both Leadership Management and Leadership Reports. All of this work in the Shadow Academy has allowed him to obtain the sixth rank in the SA's society.

Joe has also shown an interest in character development, having recently worked on his Wiki page to a quality standard, as verified by Wiki staff member Bentre.

Finally, Joe's held the rank of Hunter for 28 days.

Congrats, Joe. Enjoy the lightsaber!

In the last few months I've gotten to know Joe Durham fairly well. He joined Tarentum shortly before we closed as a new member eager to dive into the DJB. The closure of Tarentum could have demoralized him, but instead he chose to stay active and come to Taldryan with me.

He's been a great apprentice and has exceeded all expectations and goals I set for him during his Apprenticeship. He has never said "I can't do that" when I've given him a task or a suggestion to help him progress in the DJB.

He has been a great student and I'm incredibly happy with his progress and how quickly he became acclimated to the DJB. At this point there's nothing left to teach him, he has learned everything he needs to know and gotten all the tools he needs to flourish in the DJB.

Kneel, Hunter Joe Durham. Your training is complete, you're ready to enter into a new world. Arise and be recognized as Knight Joe Durham. Congrats, Joe! I'm proud of you

They say good things happen to those who wait, and I've been waiting for this moment for some time. Drae'lath Rahath has proven himself to be quite an interesting student to mentor. Unlike most other Journeymen who zerg themselves as quickly as possibly up to Knight, Drae'lath savored the moment. He told me early on, "I'm not going to rush, I'm going to do this on my schedule and enjoy the process." And you know what, it's made me enjoy it more too. Drae'lath Rahath has been an outstanding addition to Naga Sadow and I am so happy to be writing this recommendation.

Since his last promotion at the beginning of December, Drae has participated in six competitions bringing in one Crescent with Amethyst Star and one Crescent with Sapphire Star. Further, he finished 1 ACC battle and participated in 1 Fiction activity writing a total of nine-hundred-forty-one words, netting him a total of four Clusters of Ice. All the while, Drae has kept his head in the books and passed two SA courses.

In terms of his promotion requirements, Drae'lath has spent the required 28 days in his current rank (65 actually), he has participated in more than fifteen competitions, co-organized one competition, acquired more than 75 Clusters of Earth, been awarded 7 Clusters of Ice, wrote more than 1500 words of Character Fiction and has been awarded three Crescents and a merit award (Dark Cross).

Drae'lath has firmly established himself as a regular presence on all forms of Naga Sadow communications and can be found at almost any hour of the day in the Telegram chat. In fact, I'm not sure when he sleeps...

Drae, you've done it and I'm proud fo you. Well done. It is my pleasure to recommend your immediate elevation to the rank of JM4.

Aul Celsus, 2018-02-17 04:31:39 UTC

Since he has come to Shar Dakhan, Drae has been a force for good. He has competed in a lot of competitions and has been a very active member in clan and house chat. He has been constantly active and I don't see any slow down in him. Keep up the good work mate.

Tribune Kanal O'neill, 2018-02-17 04:16:13 UTC

Drae'lath has worked hard during his journey to Knighthood, making it on his own terms. He has fit into the Clan, taking the time to get to know his fellow members. I haven't heard a single bad word about Drae'lath and I hope that he continues his journey to the Equite ranks.

Congratulations on reaching Knighthood, Drae'lath!

Professor Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar, 2018-02-16 19:55:56 UTC

Watching Drae'lath's journey to Knight has been a pleasure. The gent has integrated himself into our Clan culture, helped represent Clan Naga Sadow in GJW XII, and has slowly worked on developing his character. On the way toward this milestone, he has taken part in poetry, trivia, fiction and being an encouragement to his fellow Sadowans.

I am excited to see what heights Drae'lath will reach from here. I have no doubts that reaching knighthood is just the first step on a greater path for Drae. Congratulations, my friend!

Reniets Netsua, you have successfully completed the Trial of Identity and confirmed your e-mail address, for which you have earned the rank of Apprentice. While you may currently be on a shuttle to House Galeres, I will continue to follow your progress with great interest.

You're already beginning to make a name for yourself, Mol. I have heard reports from Battle Team Pellaeon that you have managed to:

• Perform a basic activity, such as contacting the house/clan summit

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,

The best thing I can say about Tali is that he astounds me. It's rare that we get a member with Tali's level of determination, passion and talent. He has a keen wit and intelligence that he brings to bear on every situation he encounters, and he's always ready to offer helpful advice and solutions to problems. He's quick to offer to lend a hand with projects, wiki updates, or character development. In short, he's a joy to have as a member.

His personal activity is unparalleled.Since his last promotion in July, he has participated in 60 competitions and co-organized 3. That works out to almost nine competitions per month, for which he has earned 4 Ruby Crescents, 6 Amethyst Crescents, 4 Sapphire Crescents, an Emerald Crescent and 2 Topaz Crescents. At over 55,000 words, he's written more fiction in that time than many Brotherhood members do in their entire career, earning a Dark Cross along the way.

Maybe most astounding, though, was his participation in the recent Great Jedi War. Not only did he participate in every single Bin (earning 21 Seals of Wrath), he earned a Gold Nova in the process. Few members of the Brotherhood ever earn a Gold Nova. Something tells me this won't be Tali's last.

For your enviable work effort, your consistent drive to excel, and the untempered passion you bring to the Brotherhood, it is my privilege to recommend you be elevated to rank of Savant. Congratulations, Tali!

Holy purple-moly! Tali Sroka is a man of action! His is a name that consistently appears on many a fiction competitions and more, quickly growing to join the ranks of the prolific writers in our community. He spreads his love for writing with those around him, often encouraging and attempting to rope in his fellow Voidbreakers and Arconans into collaborating on fictions just for funzies. And he aids them in their own character development and the building of character relations. It seems to be something he greatly enjoys doing, with discussions filled to the brim with enthusiasm. Tali is a bright and welcoming figure in many of our social communities, known by a wider audience than just his Clan, and his helpful tendencies reach far and wide.

Tali is immensely creative, having helped developed both Selen, our home planet in Dajorra, and Voidbreaker through their respective development competition events. This creativity, along with his drive to improve the DJB for his fellow peers and himself, has led to him sending several proposals. Tali's proposal for the Kaminoan species was accepted and now has become one of the selectable races for members. Other proposals included feat suggestions and rebalancing, armor implications, and more.

This Twi’lek is a stubborn man, set to what he believes and thinks. And you know what? We need that. We need that determination and tenacity to push for change and addition in this club, to stir up what otherwise may lay stagnant. I am glad to see this in Tali, it reminds me there’s always more we can do and improve. So, keep at it, Tali. Your insight is greatly appreciated, as well as your plethora of new ideas, and it may one day spread to a new wave of equally invested members.

I am excited to recommend Tali Sroka for promotion to Equite II! Congratulations, Tail-lek! I look forward to working more with you and seeing where the stars take you.

The Lek-master continues to amaze! Since his promotion to EQ1, he has participated in 55 competitions, and co-organized 3 of them. He is a prolific writer, having written over 55,000 words of fiction. Yes, you read that correct; he has written over a novel’s worth of fiction.

In addition to his writing and his competition activity, Tali has dedicated himself to improving the DB. He has submitted a number of proposals, including one for the recently implemented Kaminoan species, and a proposal to reform Arconan possessions. He is also a constant, friendly presence on Telegram, providing support and guidance for new members, as well the occasional piece of constructive criticism.

For all of Tali’s activity and his general DB-related awesomeness, I am happy to recommend that Tali be promoted to EQ2. Congratulations, Tali! You are ever a bright light within Arcona, and I adore every opportunity I get to interact with you!

Since joining the clan, Iios has been a highly active member both in events and in our communication channels.

He's also been an active writer, earning 8 Clusters of Ice for fiction and ACC work as well as writing over 3000 words in total fiction. Iios has also been hard at work in the Shadow Academy, reaching rank 3 and passing 2 leadership courses. I'm pleased to see all this effort and look forward to more in the near future.
