Farrin Xies has served the Dark Brotherhood in the role of Consul of Clan Tarentum and Headmaster of the Dark Brotherhood since he was elevated to the rank of Battlemaster. During this time Farrin provided Tarentum six months of steady leadership and guided the Clan through its continued emergence as a force within the Dark Brotherhood. In addition to his duties as a Consul, Farrin also served the Dark Brotherhood as a whole by dedicating his time and efforts first as Magistrate and then Praetor to the Headmaster. It was during this time that Farrin set himself apart from the rest of the Shadow Academy staff and became the unanimous choice to replace Dacien Victae di Plagia as the Headmaster.

Since assuming the role of Headmaster, Farrin has become an integral part to the Dark Council. He has initiated the rewrite of courses and continues to work through the long and arduous process of updating courses that are long past due. Farrin has also demonstrated an exceptional capability to support the Dark Brotherhood on a myriad of other tasks ranging from possessions work to providing feedback on other Councilor’s projects.

Farrin is a dedicated member and leader of our club and his elevation to Battlelord is well deserved. Congrats!

Battlemaster Farrin Xies has performed above and beyond a traditional Equite Two. Typically our members serve as House Leaders or are just entering the position of Proconsul at this rank. Farrin; however, is not a traditional Equite. Over the past ten months he has served as both a Consul and a Dark Councilor. These positions often fall upon the shoulders of our Elders, but Farrin has proven that he is more than capable to serve among our elite.

Statistically, Farin has served as a CON for six months and the Headmaster for four months. During that time he has organized 4 competitions, co-organized 21, participated in 26, and earned merit awards for both his work in Tarentum and within the Shadow Academy.

Farrin’s work in Tarentum, as detailed by Sarin, focused on maintaining the positive momentum of his predecessor and continuing Tarentum’s steady path of improvement since their days as a House. Farrin organized his leadership with a mix of junior and senior leaders and stabilized a Clan in need of a solid foundation.

As the Headmaster, Farrin has led the major restructuring of the SA by appointing new Professors, releasing the Lightsaber course, releasing the Martial Arts course, releasing the Diablo 3 Primer course, updating the Planets and Moons course, updating the Fist-o-Matic course, and creating and promoting a simple and easy to use error form so members can easily report mistakes and typos in SA courses.

Farrin has served our club in an unbelievable manner and he is greatly deserving of this promotion. Congrats!

Farrin made my job as Headmaster easy. He was a constant source of energy, ideas, and effort focused on making the Shadow Academy a better place. As my magistrate and then praetor, Farrin was involved in just about every decision I made, received every email I sent, and stepped up -- particularly in my final few weeks, as my replacement was being selected (surprise: it was Farrin) -- to effectively run the Shadow Academy when my work obligations left me too little time to do it justice. My tenure at the Shadow Academy would not have been nearly as successful as it was without his hard work and dedication, and I will always be grateful for his help and advice.

Farrin, you’ve more than earned this promotion. Keep up the great work, and thank you!

Tebbo Jensen has done his time in rank and has gone above and beyond with his activity. He has participated in a grand total of 24 competitions for which he earned 16 Crescents. Tebbo is also co-hosting a Wiki competitions with me and has plans for hosting his own Fiction competitions. He has passed The Leadership Competitions and Management Shadow Academy courses and has already attained the 4th Rank in the Shadow Academy.

Tebbo is also a talented writer. As his Master I had the privilege of reading his works and I must say they're quite good. Tarentum has really gained a strong writer with his presence. He has written a solid 1700 word piece on his Character, earned 9 Clusters of Ice and has reached the 5th Inquisitorius rank.

As his Master I look forward to see him develop his career further and I'm glad that I can be a part of it. Yeoman Tebbo Jensen you have earned the right to call yourself a Professional. Congratulations!

Frosty Romanae Tarentae, 2016-08-27 23:46:07 UTC

Tebbo has been working hard, participating in twelve competitions since his last promotion, writing nearly 3000 words of fiction, picking up nine crescents and a Dark Cross. He is becoming an active member of the Clan, visiting Telegram and learning what he needs to know about the Brotherhood. Under Frosty's tutelage he has gotten himself a good foothold and finally reached the point where it's time to strike out on his own. I look forward to seeing what Tebbo can contribute to the Clan as a Professional.

Since joining the Clan, Jason has proven himself to be a great asset to our numbers. He works diligently on his promotion requirements as well as showing himself to be somewhat of a gaming savant. In the 21 days since his last promotion Jason has, logged into both the CNS Telegram channel and the Dark Brotherhood Voice Server, Participated in a total of 9 competitions 4 of which he has placed in. His gaming has seen him rise to rank 4 in the GMRG as well as obtaining a huge 7 Pendants of Blood and 220 Clusters of Earth. Finally, Jason has co-organised 2 competitions, ‘Diablo 3 Season 7: Rift Running’ and ‘The First Duel’

Just by looking at his dossier it is evident that Jason is someone who doesn’t just do exactly what is required of him and then stop, he is someone who is looking to participate actively in the Brotherhood and I can am proud to say that he has more than earned this promotion.

Congratulations on Hunter, Jason and keep it up!

Every so often a new Journeyman comes over the horizon, and proves once again how tenacious those little buggers can be. Jason is certainly that. Yeah, I could point out the statistics, or just echo what has already been said about my apprentice. I don't think that it reflects how truly driven Jason has been. With each promotion that has come, his first question has always been "okay what do we do next?"

Some people would be happy to hit a certain benchmark and then just sit easy. Not Jason. When we were discussing the Shadow Academy and I pointed out some of the goals he could complete, he didn't express a particular interest in tackling them just then. However he did reassure me that "oh, I will tackle them all eventually. I will make my way through the entire Shadow Academy."

Honestly, that kind of attitude is spectacular, to have a set goal he has already decided to work toward. Some people would be happy with Rank IV, Rank V, or maybe even rank VII or VIII, but Jason has his eyes set on higher things- even if he is going about it at a slower speed than most.

Given the fervor he has shown in knocking down the goals on his path, I am excited to see to what heights he will soar. You have earned this promotion, Jason, and I look forward to seeing what else you bring to the table as you ascend toward Knighthood and beyond!

While I am new to the position of BTL, I am not at all new to what it takes to be a successful Journeyman. Tyraal has exemplified that sense of duty and completed many tasks, including some tough ones. Not only has he met his requirements, he was awarded a Crescent and 12 Clusters of Ice along the way. Those awards have happened just since his last promotion, as it happens. Tyraal has also done many competitions.

Neophyte Tyraal is an excellent example of an active member, and Zirael is proud to have him. I highly recommend he be moved forward to Acolyte and look forward to seeing him in action in the future.
