Every now and then a member comes along that you can tell is cut from a different cloth. Erik is one of those members. Since his last promotion five months ago, Erik's activity has been beyond solid. Further, his reputation is so gleaming that when it came time to identify a new leader for the Disciples of Dakhan, Erik was the unanimous choice. He just exudes leadership qualities.

In the last five months Erik has competed in fourty-five competitions and placed in more than 22% of them, netting two Crescents with Ruby Star, one Crescent with Amethyst Star, six Crescents with Sapphire Star and a Crescent with Topaz Star.

Some members game, some members write, others do... other things? Well, Erik does all the things. Always willing to put up his dukes, Erik's thirty-two PvP matches brought in one-hundred-twenty-one Clusters of Fire. His quill is sharp, as well. Between nine fiction activities containing eight-thousand-fifty-one words and three run-on posts containing one-thousand-nine-hundred-twelve words, Erik brought in an excellent seventeen Clusters of Ice. The quill can be used for drawing too, apparently, because Erik also brought in six Clusters of Graphite.

The Equite class is generally the tier in which members of the Brotherhood are primed and ready for leadership, and a true leader leads from the front lines. Erik demonstrated his capability to lead by taking the helm of the Disciples of Dakhan at effectively the last minute before the Great Jedi War and not only lead the battle team to great activity in the War, but participated in eleven events himself to bring in the commensurate eleven Seals of Wrath in addition to an introductory report.

Behind the scenes, Erik is a solid team player in the House Summit. His conversations with Jurdan and I on Telegram are extremely effective and efficient and I consider them integral to the success of the House in its current state. The Disciples of Dakhan is one of the most important projects in the House and I am very comfortable having Erik as one of the champions of that project.

His solid activity lead me to recommend a Dark Cross a little more than three months ago and that seemed to light an even larger fire under Erik's tail. Beyond that, he has truly taken to his leadership role. Erik's momentum is excellent and he's absolutely on the upward curve of a fantastically successful career in the Brotherhood.

It is an absolute pleasure to have this outstanding member in the House and I am beyond convinced of his worthiness to enter the Equites. Congratulations Erik, you've made us all very proud.

Aul Celsus, 2017-12-13 00:44:17 UTC

The Equites are not for the light of heart. Erik has truly stepped up his game and shown his mettle in the face of the enemy. He has proven over and over how active he is. When Aul and I were looking for someone to succeed Lilith he was definitely my first pick and Aul Agreed. Erik my man, just like Aul I consider you like a true brother here in the brotherhood. We can have a good time and carry silly conversations when we are trying to make things better for each other. Our HSD council chat is always a lot of fun with you.

Congrats on the promotion brother!

Tribune Kanal O'neill, 2017-12-11 00:40:34 UTC

Erik stepped up to the plate during GJW XII and led the Disciples of Dakhan well when Lilith went awol due to rl difficulties. His team saw excellent activity and participation levels, with 6 out of 7 members participating. His activity has seen him warrant a promotion to the first tier of the Equites.

Anything additional to the recs provided by Aul and Jurdan would be fluff. However, Erik has shown he has what it takes to stand with the big boys and will continue to be a valued member of Naga Sadow.

Thank you for your service and congratulations on your promotion to Warrior!

Juliana Kelrune has been a member of Arcona for two and a half years now. Through tumultuous times, she has persevered. We gather today to recognize her, and to honor an achievement she has long thirsted for. An achievement she wholeheartedly deserves.

Juli was promoted to Hunter eight months ago. During that time, she has participated in a dozen competitions, earning four Clusters of Fire, eight Clusters of Graphite and a Cluster of Ice in the process. In the most recent Great Jedi War, she earned five Seals of Wrath for the five Bins in which she participated. She has also passed ten Shadow Academy courses in the process. Most recently, she was awarded a Dark Cross for her continuing contributions for Battleteam, House and Clan. We couldn't be more proud of her.

In addition to her personal activity, she's a fixture in Arcona's social communities. She's vibrant, fiery, and friendly. Over the past months, I've had the pleasure of seeing her grow and blossom, making new friends that I have little doubt will last her entire Brotherhood career.

Juli: though life might occasionally pull you away, I know your loyalty and dedication to Arcona has never flagged. It is my sincerest honor to recommend your elevation to Knight. Congratulations. You did it!

Terran Koul, 2017-12-12 03:31:44 UTC

I don't honestly have words here to do justice to how much this promotion means; one of these recommendations isn't the place for such details, either. I literally cannot express the magnitude of the effort, personal tribulation, devastations, joys, pains, growth, and perseverance that has gone into this step forward today, right here, right now. Luckily, Julie herself knows better than anyone what this means, and it's my honor today as her Master to instead tell anyone who reads this a piece of why and how she has earned the title of Knight.

Julie has done far more in her time than the tasks listed above - though important and worthy in their own right - can quantify. She has spent the last months and years evolving as a member of Arcona, of the Brotherhood, and as a person. She has come from a vagrant Novitiate to a well-known, well-recognized, and well-loved and respected part of her community. She's constantly present in both her Clan and House Telegram chats and in wider DB-chats, especially Fiction Chat, where's she's a frequent voice for discussion on all manner of topics and pays detailed attention to other members, their concerns, and their characters, engaging with all her brothers and sisters in Sithy darkness regardless of clan. Julie also acts as a sort of extension of and aid to the Summit where and when she's able, always the first one forwarding relevant newsposts or announcements, looking up answers for members' questions or linking a particular report she bookmarked for frequently asked questions, and advising new and veteran members alike. Additionally, she's always offering to help in any other way she can, and has personally helped me with several of my reports in gathering and formatting competition information or news sections and asking questions to reply to. She's shown willingness to volunteer for leadership at any level if the need was required, even without prior experience and even knowing the job may be stressful; her only repeated wish has been to be able to help others, to be able to give back to her clan. Her selfless spirit is evident in everything she does, and it's that spirit that we have seen truly come to shine in these last months, more than anything else. There's no such thing as a painless lesson, but Julie has taken hers and turned them into the ability and desire to improve her community and those around her, and I trust that she will go on - and on, and on - to do far more, long after Knighthood.

For now, though, my bestprentice...for now, we say thank you, welcome to the ranks, and congratulations.

Juliana Kelrune had once told me that helping out her clan is what she strives to do, and she is open to whatever she can to make that happen. Her efforts before now had shown that, helping with wiki articles, aiding her master with gathering links for reports, sharing information to her teammates. I have seen her step up multiple times to a challenge or just in general as a leader among her peers, hearing word of how much she tried to organize her Journeymen RO group awhile back and more. She's helped co-organize competitions for Arcona back in February. This Echani has a fighting spirit, holding on and reluctantly refusing to let go of the club no matter the adversities she faces outside of it. She’s fierce and determined, friendly and welcoming, speaks her mind and leaves her passion open to all. I would like to think that Juli has reminded us the importance of the second half of our mind, the one that feels. It is truly a wonderful thing to have and be bold with.

It has been a long time coming, but entirely worth it. Juliana Kelrune, I am pleased to support your promotion to Knight. Congratulations, Bestsisprentince! I look forward to watching your flame grow and where that light takes you!

Zeline Nemesis, one of our best journeyman in the war, has been a busy person. Since the last promotion at least 21 days ago, she has participated in 10 competitions, passed the Leadership Management SA course, wrote 1000 words of character fiction, co-organized 1 competition, and joined the Clan in our many chat mediums. During this time, she had earned Shadow Academy Society Rank 3, earned 10 clusters of graphite, and earned a Dark Cross for her GJW efforts! The fact that a lot of this came during the war itself was impressive and showed her dedication to the Clan in a way few achieved in pure participation alone.

I am extremely proud of Zeline Nemesis and honored to recommend that she be promoted to the rank of Padawan. Congratulations and great work! I can't wait to see what you get up to as Knight! :)

Lucifer is one of the amazing members of Tarentum that I get to interact with on a regular basis. As a person, he’s engaging to talk to. He cares about Tarentum. He wants this Clan to succeed. In the GJW, he tried to exhibit that dedication and conviction, and participated in six different events.

Beyond that, in going over his promotion assessment -- since his last promotion, he has organized or co-organized 13 different events, and participated in 63 total events. He has earned 312 medals, with a Steel Cross high, and was attempting to enthusiastically serve as a Team Leader for three months, until the decision was made to close them. The closure of the Team in Lucifer’s case was not due to an unengaging, apathetic leader, but simply that we wanted to try and focus on smaller groups, and getting the Houses engaged, bound and moving forward into the Great Jedi War. Lucifer took that assignment and still tried to run with it. He didn’t back down, he didn’t stop being active.

We have had the benefit of Lucifer being mentored by Korras (Darth Aeternus), and it shows. Lucifer’s attitude is welcoming, friendly, and enthusiastic. He provides a level of friendship and cordiality to Tarentum that, in the past, others have certainly stamped out. In addition to his good attitude, he’s also played in 21 PvE matches, and four different fiction activities with nearly 500 words, and three different run-on posts for close to 1,000 words. In this, Lucifer exhibits to all of Tarentum that it doesn’t take a monumental amount of effort. It just takes a little energy, dedication, and Tarentum can be that great Clan. We all ought to follow his example.

Congratulations, Lucifer. I appreciate your friendship and dedication. Tarentum loves you, pally.

Master Zsarion Bloodfyre, 2017-12-11 17:13:25 UTC

The position of Taldryan Consul is one of the most prestigious and difficult in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The history of the position includes a list of our club's greatest members to include: Kir, Jac, Yacks, Shadow, Mav, Halc, and Howie. Stepping into this position is difficult for anyone, but it is nearly unheard of for someone at the rank of Equite 2.

Fortunately for the DJB and Taldryan, Rhylance stepped up to take on the challenge of moving Taldryan from the past and into the future. Rhylance took over Taldryan during a period of transition and rapidly realized he would need to lead the Clan without the support or help from those who came before him. Despite this, he drove forward with proposals to make the Clan more welcoming to the DJB at large, to new members, and to the younger generation of Taldryan talent. Rhylance also worked extremely hard with the DC on Taldryan's fictional future and the redesign of the Clan's Planetary system.

During his 11 months of Consul, Rhylance ran 22 competitions, participated in 133, maintained an active communication platform through email and the DJB news page, and earned over 500 various awards from gaming and competitions. Tack on fiction work, ACC battles, and a couple of Shadow Academy courses and you see that Rhylance has participated in nearly every form of DJB activity and leadership over the past year.

Rhylance, I appreciate all the hard work you have put into our club this past year. Congratulations on your promotion to Lieutenant Colonel.

Grand Master Declan Roark, 2017-12-10 18:37:02 UTC

As a club we distinguish upper equites as members who have not only put forward individual activity, but also contribute to their units and the club through leadership and project work. Yuki, or Jack as most of us know him, has been an Equite 3 since June of 2014. I can safely say that in those three plus years Jack has had an impact on most of COU's roster, through his contributions and leadership. As the parade of summit recommendations here attest, Jack has mentored all of us at one time or another. In addition to today's recommendations, if you examine the merits he has earned since his last promotion (2 Steel Crosses, an Anteian Cross and Dark Cross) you will see a consistent theme of Jack working behind the scenes to help young leaders and newer members. On top of that he has received two Scrolls of the Master for mentoring Maka Vossi (Gui Sol) and Keiji (Lavanth) to Knight. As Edgar details in his recommendation, Jack served as the Aedile for House Hoth as an Equite 3 for a critical four months in the House's development.

As an individual member Jack has participated in 121 competitions (with an additional 26 container competitions) bringing home 47 Crescents. In gaming he has earned 4 Pendants of Blood, 113 Clusters of Fire, and 735 Clusters of Earth. His passion has always been for writing, which shows in his 34 Clusters of Ice for fiction activity. In the most recent Great Jedi War, Jack showed up for 6 of the events and led his run-on team to a Silver Nova, no small feat.

On a more personal note, Jack mentored me when I was a young pup in House Odan-Urr. He made EQ3 a few weeks after I made Knight. I had no creative writing background before coming to the club, as a brand new BTL at that time I had maybe a run-on and three or four fiction competitions under my belt. I was often amazed at Jack's ability to write high quality fiction passages seemingly on the fly (I've watched him work live in a google doc). As a seasoned club veteran, he took the time to pull me, a young pup BTL with barely six months in the club, aside and work with me one on one through some character development and writing exercises. This went on for nearly a month, we must have written tens of thousands of words of fiction that never got turned in for anything. He never got recognized for the time he put in. That's just the kind of person Jack is. He encourages, mentors and fosters members who need it with no thought of recognition or reward. He sees the need and swoops in, taking the pup under his wing.

Thank you for all that you do, you literally helped build COU into what it is today. It has been a long time coming, but welcome to Equite 4. You have the heart of not only a leader, but an elder.

Consul, Clan Odan-Urr

The man of many names... When I first met Yuki, it was under the name Acheron, followed shortly by Balthier d’Tana in early 2011. I had only been a member of this club for six months at this point and he was usually one of the first to volunteer to proofread my fiction attempts. Not only that, Jack patiently (in his own unique way) explained what I was doing wrong and how to fix it. Nearly seven years and who knows how many characters later, he’s not stopped this despite a very busy schedule, aiding the next generation in improving their own writing and critiquing whatever they submit — artistic attempts, character ideas, storyline concepts and many more.

Yuki encouraged me to apply for my current position and I cannot be more thankful for his tenacious prodding. The change of pace was just what I needed to reinvigorate my spark; there’s a line from a song that perfectly described my outlook at the time ‘The road that you followed, it turned, Can’t find where the fire once burned’. Though, to be fair, it’s an interesting role-reversal as I had only worked under him prior to this when he was an Aedile in Arcona whilst I was a brand new Battleteam Leader.

In the seven months I’ve been in this position, I’ve come to realize that Jack is an ideal member, one of the first to step up to the plate when he’s needed or there’s an activity that captures his interest. And every single thing that he sets his eye upon gets Yuki’s entire focus, blood, sweat and tears; a perfect example is how his Run-On Team in GJW XII: Retribution scored an astounding second place.

In my mind, there is no one more deserving of a promotion to Equite Four. Jack, it’s been a long time coming, and you’ve more than earned it. Congratulations!

Adept Celevon Werd'a, 2017-12-07 07:48:36 UTC

Yuki aka "Jack" has been one of the core people in my Brotherhood experience, and I am honored to call him a friend. The first time I worked with Jack was on my very first run-on for a Clan event. While we did not complete enough to do anything more than qualify, the lessons I learned about writing from him have stuck with me. I have continued to have the honor of working on several more run-ons with Jack including a first place run on for the Desperate Measures event and a Silver Nova winning run on from the most recent Great Jedi War.

Jack has also been a part of my own character's development, including the addition of my character's second weapons skill - Explosives. He taught me to listen to what my character says and that has been the single biggest piece of advice I have received. Other pieces of advise have come when I was restructuring Len to make the character more realistic and balanced. Those lessons helped me further develop my alternate character Ken.

Jack you have been a good friend and I look forward to continue working with you in the future. You have definitely earned this, congratulations!

Oh and P.S.: I told you so!

Colonel Len Iode, 2017-12-09 03:30:34 UTC

Yuki Suoh or as I know him better Jack. Out of all the recommendations I have ever written this one is the hardest. Not because Jack doesn’t deserve this promotion and not because I think I would have to argue with the MAA about his worth. It’s hard cause the person I will have to strongly convince that Jack is worth this is Jack himself.

So let me say this about Jack, I honestly didn’t know you when I took over as Hoth’s Aedile 2 years ago until you made your presence known to me but immediately getting into my face and almost challenging me from that very first day. Honestly, I didn’t like you at all at that moment.

You were always in my case about writing fiction and letting you proofread it so you can see how I’m doing. You refused to let me rest and was constantly pushing me to be better. It took me a while to finally getting to know you and to see what you were doing. You were dragging me kicking and screaming out of my comfort zone and helping me be a better member, leader, and a better person.

This is what makes jack Special even when he is not in a leadership position he is doing everything he can to mentor someone to make them better. Sometimes if you like it or not if Jack see potential in you he will not stop till you improve and realize his vision. Jack was so instrumental in helping me and many members of the House improve and become a stronger house that when I became the Quaestor and had the chance to hire my first Aedile Jack was my first choice.

For 4 month Jack helped me run the house, create the Hothj Wiki project and was instrumental in the creation of Hoth’s The Scimitar of Lord Hoth. He was and has been one of my closest friends and one of my trusted advisors within the DJB. The amount of times Jack was they to offer support, sage advice or even the voice of reason to myself or any member within COU is almost staggering.

Jack, I could go on forever on how much you earned this promotion but I will end by saying this. You truly are a pillar of the Odanite family and you helped me so much in being the leader I am today that the day you take a leadership role again I would be one of the first people to want to join your unit. You have most definitely have earned my loyalty, my trust and my sword!

Congratulations. my dear friend, bask in the glory of being EQ4 cause you earned this!

Edgar Drachen, Quaestor of House Hoth

Ghost Edgar Drachen, 2017-12-10 01:10:35 UTC

Jack is a grouchy old bastard. Or at least it seems that way to the casual observer. However, looking around, it’s difficult to find a leader in Odan-Urr that Jack hasn’t managed to mentor, at least to some extent. Several others have already references their experiences and the things Jack’s taught them about leadership, writing, or just not being an idiot. For my part, Jack has become one of my primary sounding boards for fiction ideas, one of the few people who can successfully badger me into writing, and a gadfly who makes me a better leader. “I’ll keep you honest,” he’s said to me on various occasions, and he’s lived up to that promise by reminding me to congratulate members in chat and advocating for the new and low-ranked members who don’t have the clout, perspective, or volume of an upper-level equite. He is—dare I say it—kind, generous, and dedicated to nurturing new talent in Odan-Urr and everywhere else he goes.

As Ed pointed out, it’s difficult to really capture Jack’s contributions in a paragraph or two. They’re the kind you don’t notice at first, until they grow and snowball and two years later you realize that the man’s a trusted advisor to half the summit. He’s one of those members who makes the clan stronger just by his very presence. He’s a leader regardless of what position he holds.

Congrats, Jack. After eighteen years, it’s about damn you made it to EQ4.

Tamashi Adaephon Delat or as I know him Mord join Odan-Urr over a year ago and since then has been a powerhouse of activity, communication, leadership and a great member of the Odanite Family.

Mord recently joined Hoth a few months ago and from my personal experience is he a great team player, always looking to volunteer his time to help someone out and he always looking to help anyone in the house from summit to new member. He never shies away from offering his help to anyone, not just his own clan but the club as well.

Most impressively are his activity numbers since his last promotion. Mord organized 24 competitions and Co-organized an additional 10 as well. Not to mention he participated in 175 competitions (along with 33 Containers), as well as taking 3 SA courses and earning his Dark Maven in Philosophy.

Mord kept himself extremely busy but his time was not wasted doing all of that he was able to attain a mighty treasure horde as well. Mord has earned 2 Grand Crosses, 1 Steel Cross, 1 Anteian Cross, 1 Silver Nova (for GJW12 Comic), 1 Diamond Star, 1 Ruby Star, 14 Amethyst Stars, 4 Sapphire Stars, 11 Emerald Stars. 6 Topaz Stars, 6 Pendants of Blood, 330 Clusters of Fire, 9 Clusters of Ice (for 2 ACC Matches, 729 words of fiction and 587 words in a Run On), 18 Clusters of Graphite and 841 Clusters of Earth.

Not to mention for support Odan-Urr in the Great Jedi War XII he was awarded 9 Seals of Wrath for his efforts.

Mord is a wonderful member, a proven leader and when given his next chance will make a excellent future leader in the DJB! So it's my pleasure and my Honor to Promote Tamashi to Equite 3, a rank very much deserved and earned!

Congratulations, Mord!

Edgar Drachen, Quaestor of House Hoth

Ghost Edgar Drachen, 2017-12-10 01:12:11 UTC

When we were looking for a replacement Battle Team Leader after I took over the Aedile spot, I honestly did not know very well who Tamashi was. Now many months later, I count him as a good friend. I have had the honor of working with him in a couple of run-ons, developed Battle Team lore for the Pathfinders with him, and got into friendly arguments about tactics late into the night in either of our time zones.

Tamashi is always one of the first to put his hand up for something. Whether it is putting in applications for leadership, offering to help a member review a fiction submission, taking on a student, or volunteering to join a team, you probably will see him lining up to help any who need it.

It is my pleasure to have a part in recommending Tamashi for this promotion, welcome the EQ3 club my friend!

Colonel Len Iode, 2017-12-08 15:10:57 UTC

I first met Mord / Tamashi a few years ago when he joined Arcona. At the time, he struck me as an eager member full of creative ideas and a willingness to attempt to push the envelope on character creation. Since then, Tamashi has come into his own as a leader and matured greatly. He still possesses the creativity and drive that caught my attention, though it’s now tempered with patience and understanding of the system.

As a member, Tamashi is patient, kind and helpful to those within Odan-Urr who seek assistance in developing their own characters. That is not all this selflessness is limited to, as he is willing to offer a helping hand in proofreading and critiquing artwork that the other members request help with.

His drive was shown in GJW XII: Retribution, where he was but one of many that helped Odan-Urr attain First Clan. Thus, it is my distinct pleasure to join the others in recommending that Tamashi Adaephon Delat be promoted to Equite Three.

Congratulations Mord! Keep up the good work!

Mord has been a member I have known for a couple of years. We go back to our days playing Star Conflict together among other games. Through time we both ended up finally in the same Clan and House here in Odan. Mord eventually would allow me to join his Battle team at the time and later on we would serve on the House Summit together where we continued to share ideas for growth and development as well as ways to move it forward. His time in leadership here in COU is respected and I’m happy to be able to provide a recommendation towards his promotion. You deserve it Mord! Congrats brother and drinks are on you.

Maximus Alvinius, 2017-12-09 04:15:25 UTC

Mord’s probably the friendliest and most outgoing Odanite I know, to the point where most mornings I check Telegram to see a “Heya. How's it going?” from him. He’s a constant presence in various clan and house channels, offering ideas and kind words to help keep morale high. He’s always eager to collaborate on pretty much anything: making his character, making your character, plot developments, casual gaming, the list goes on. Mord is also exceptionally curious and engaged as a member. We frequently talk about various projects and policies, both for his own interest and because he’s always looking for an opportunity to help someone out. That’s some that has, without Mord even realizing it, been very helpful to me as a leader. I’m always able to think through things out loud, and if I can’t explain or pitch something effectively to Mord, then I have some thinking to do before I have to engage a less friendly audience.

Mord, welcome to the EQ3 club!

Some may not know this but Tamashi is an active participant in the Master-Student program, helping train the future generation of Odanites. First, he took on an apprentice and helped them out, guiding them through ranks and staying in touch with them on a regular basis. Second, he took the time to help out other unassigned Journeymen, offering advice and being a supportive clan member when they needed it. This helped me out a lot since I can't be everywhere at once. Taking care of Odan-Urr's Journeymen sometimes needs an extra helping hand and as such they are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping grow Odan-Urr's future from the ground up. I greatly appreciate your dedication, assistance, and initiative. Congratulations and great work!

Tamashi (or Mord, as he's known) is among my closest friends in Odan-Urr, both before his transfer to our Clan and after. For a long time, not a week went without Mord and I chatting about character development in the club, which led to his move to write the character Tamashi who stands out as one of our most unique characters and fun to write. As a Quaestor, I also recall the lengths that Mord went through to be as involved as possible in the club as a BTL of Garza's Pathfinders, assisting with the wiki, proofing submissions and offering assistance wherever he could.

From one friend to another, you've earned this, Mord. Congrats!
