Lilith Alema'rha Versea-Stormwind has been an extremely pleasant person to see rising the ranks of the Brotherhood. She entered the club seven months ago, two weeks before I became Quaestor of Shar Dakhan. The amount of affection she gets from fellow members in our Telegram shows she is a well respected member. It is always with great pleasure to see her interact with members and share her stories. She is also a wonderful person to talk to and is definitely one of the most respected members within our Clan. I am extremely humbled and honored to write this request for her promotion to the Equite ranks.

Since her last recognition four months ago, Lilith has partaken in thirty-five competitions which amounts to a little over two competitions per week, blowing away the opposition and earning an impressive stack of crescents. The Ruby, Amethyst, three Sapphire and two Topaz crescents earned show she has what it takes to grab the Brotherhood by the horns and tell them who is boss, all whilst staying classy! Her tenacity and strive to compete like this is an amazing tribute to how she feels about the Club, the Clan and her fellow members. Lilith is always there for us, and proves to us that she is a dependable and reliable members.

For example, of those thirty-five competitions, nine of them were for the CNS/CSP Feud. Of those nine entries, she had one third place finish, and a sixth place finish. Her participation and placements helped to close the gap and ensure CNS stayed in the race. Having taken the time from her busy summer Ren Faire schedule and help out her Clan when it needed her the most is what I like about Lilith so much. All you have to do is ask for her support and she is ready for her Clan. I hope she realizes just how important she is to all of us in Naga Sadow.

Before being whisked away to the Fair, Lilith did a healthy amount of gaming. It's great to see a member who enjoys playing Pazaak, since that is rare on itself. Lilith will happily play pazaak with you anywhere, anytime, anyday. And she will crush you. With her recent introduction to Jedi Academy, Lilith has been seen gaming away and enjoying this particular aspect of the club alongside Clan members. In total she has played a mix of twenty-two Pazaak and Jedi Academy matches, earning herself an impressive one-hundred and thirty Clusters of Fire! She has also earned twenty-five Clusters of Earth for various entries to mobile and flash game competitions.

The Shadow Academy has been graced with her presence, seeing her complete one course and earning a Dark Maven- Writing and a Dark Maven- Writing and Philosophy!

Finally, this all round member has dabbled in some fiction, earning six Clusters of Ice for participation in four fiction activities, for which she has written a total of one-thousand-nine-hundred and fifty-six words, and one-thousand-one-hundred and forty-three words in Run-Ons spread out over three posts!

Welcome to the Equite ranks Lilith! You have definitely deserved it and we hope to see you back in full swing once things have calmed down!

Since joining us, Lilith has been a quiet, yet solidly dependable member. Her advancement to Knighthood was swift and representative of what she is capable of. Since her Knighting, Lilith has continued to participate in competitions and be one of our few gamers.

I never have issues with Lilith, in fact, I wish more members were like her. Lilith never complains, she never causes trouble. She's a perfect member. Her hard work has contributed to the high level of activity in HSD and CNS as a whole.

When it came to supporting her Clan, Lilith accepted the call to arms with Shattered Ties and participated in 9 of 17 competitions available. Even though CNS would end up losing, we would have lost by a lot more points without members like Lilith who gave up their valuable free time to participate.

Darkblade has talked about what Lilith has done since being knighted. I can only hope that she continues to do what she does best as one of our Equites.

Congratulations, Lilith.

For some members the end of their journey seems to occur around the time they attain their Knight status. Some get hooked up on the lack of a checklist, or discouraged by the longer times between promotions. Thankfully this does not appear to have been the case for my former apprentice. Since his promotion to Knight, despite keeping busy in real life with the Faire, he has continued to march forward. Merely filling a space has not been enough for Firith'rar J. Versea-Stormwind. He has continued to self-improve, seeking out help to grow as a writer and never being afraid to seek feedback.

His passion and desire for excellence shine through in everything he does, and I can earnestly and honestly say I am excited to see what else that my former apprentice can bring to the table. Over the course of the last five months, Firith'rar has managed to gather a nice little trove of shinies in recognition of his work. Shortly after his promotion, he was able to earn a Dark Cross, and he has continued striving for excellence as he completed in 49 competitions and organized 3 more himself. His work has netted him 2 Crescents with Ruby Star, 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 5 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 3 Crescents with Emerald Star and another 2 Crescents with Topaz Star. This means for every 4 competitions he has participated in, he places in at least one on average. I find that at least a wee bit impressive!

As I mentioned above, my former apprentice has tried to improve, including further diversifying his skill-sets. While not seeming as natural a gamer as some, Firith has still found time to sharpen himself. He has managed to earn 2 Pendants of Blood, 198 Clusters of Fire and a decent 30 Clusters of Earth. Even with the 36 PVP matches and his singular PVE activity I am quite glad to see that Firith has not let his writing slide aside. He has managed to participated in 10 fiction activities, writing up 11706 words of fiction. To put this in perspective he has averaged almost 1,200 words a fiction, no minor feat. He has also taken part in 2 Runons, writing up 3 RO posts for a word count of 1901. So for the 13607 total words he has written up, he has managed to earn 19 Clusters of Ice! Even despite his work, he continues to consult with myself and others to ensure the quality of his writing does to falter, and that he continues to improve. I find this drive admirable.

As time has carried on, it has been a pleasure to see Firith'rar pushing forward and pushing onward. His tenacity is admirable, and I hope it will carry him to great things. He is a valued part of the Clan and I hope he will prove himself further as he steps up to take a place amongst our Equites. Congratulations, Firith'rar my friend! Take your place as a new Mystic, and I hope you enjoy the robes, weapons, and abilities that accompany your new rank. :D

Firith is a firebrand. He's noisy, brash and full of anger. He uses that in his competition entries and is full of passion for the Clan and the Brotherhood. Nary a day goes by without Firith asking questions about the Club and the Clan's position within it.

Firith has certainly grown since joining us. He's become calmer, wiser and continues to show his passion. He genuinely worries that he's let down the team when he doesn't win a competition. He apologises for not being good enough. I can only hope that he comes to realise that he doesn't have to apologise for participating and contributing. Instead, I hope he comes to know how much we value his presence in the Clan and continues his personal drive to be the best he can be as one of our Equites.

Congratulations, Firith!

Firith'rar has become a solid and reliable member within CNS. Always looking to better himself by asking for feedback on submitted entries, he has shown a fervor to better understand how the Brotherhood works and what it looks for in its members.

I would particularly like to thank him for his efforts in the CNS/CSP Feud. His efforts were well rewarded with a glorious role in the final fiction presented to the Clan.

I hope he continues down this path towards his goal to become an even better member. It is with great enthusiasm that I continue to watch Firith's ascent through the Brotherhood ranks.

Welcome to the Equite's Firith'rar! Enjoy the new perks and dossier candy!

Blackhawk is one of our most dedicated members. He's serving as BTS of Grey Wolf, constantly brainstorming with others to improve the battleteam. Constantly recommending members to be active.

His own activity is something I'd like his Master, Solas Night-Thorn, to inform you about.

Ranarr Kul-Tarentae, 2016-08-09 20:14:31 UTC

Blackhawk has spent over a hundred days at his current rank, now while some might see this as a dig at my apprentice, I see it as a great example of Blackhawk's dedication. He is a constant presence on Telegram and the Brotherhood site. In the time since he became an Acolyte he's participated in fourteen competitions, and earned himself a Crescent with Topaz Star, five Clusters of Ice and Earth respectively, and most significantly he earned himself his first Merit award in the form a Dark Cross. And above all he continues to make me a proud master with everything he does. Congrats to you Hunter Blackhawk.

It’s always a pleasure to see new members get stuck into the Brotherhood as soon as they join, Jason Kane is one of these members; As the clock ticks over for his 14 day time in rank requirement Jason finds himself already eligible for his promotion to Acolyte having joined the Naga Sadow Clan Channel as well as the Brotherhood Voice server. His gaming has seen him awarded with 75 Clusters of Earth, 7 Clusters of Fire and elevation to rank 2 in the GMRG Society.

Furthermore, Jason has entered 3 competitions, namely 2 weeks of 'Star Conflict PVP/PVE' and the Trivia competition 'Are you a Jedi Pokemon Master'. Finally, Jason has begun to work on a history document to be posted onto the Brotherhood wiki in the future, the document was reviewed and approved by his Master, Zachary O’Maille.

Great stuff so far Jason, you’ve shown some excellent spirit and truly deserve this promotion, keep it up and you’ll make Knight in no time!
