Since his ascension to the rank of Acolyte, PaRapRappa has continued down the path of the Journeyman. He has since fulfilled all the requirements surrounding the rank of Hunter, and has in this time-frame earned himself one Dark Cross, two Crescents, one Sapphire, the other Emerald, and five more Clusters of Fire.

He's also found time to participate in 11 additional competitions, showing that he's an active member of Arcona. As such, I'm pleased to recommend PaRapRappa for the rank of Hunter!

Congratulations. Kordath Bleu

Since her last promotion 23 days ago, Malice has been tackling her requirements head on and is making great progress. She has participated in more than 5 competitions and placed in 2 of them. She has passed 2 SA leadership courses, reached SA society rank III, posted a constructive comment on the website and wrote more than 2000 words of approved character fiction. In addition to this she is has become a pivotol member on telegram, conversing with other members on a daily basis and turning into one of our much loved Journeymen.

Well done Mal, this promotion is well earned. Now keep pushing forward, you're almost there!

Warlord Tracinya Beviin Entar, 2016-03-26 13:37:15 UTC

It seems that not a day goes past where I do not hear about you, Iriz. Your superiors have sent glowing records regarding your accomplishments, which include:

• Have been awarded 5 Clusters of Earth (A Cluster of Fire counts as two Clusters of Earth)
• Participate in 2 competitions

An expedited recommendation for your promotion has been transmitted to the Master-at-Arms.

May the Force guide you, Proselyte,

It is always a great pleasure to see a promising Journeyman prove worthy of Knighthood. It is particularly true in case of Talis, who has emerged from a year long hiatus just a month ago. Since then, he has been an extremely active member of Clan Odan-Urr, participating in 16 competitions overally, which are Decode the Message, Sides of a Coin, Hole in... One?, Prologue Puzzle – Piercing the Caldera, Heroic Aerobics, Hamster's on the Run, [INQ] Shrouded Loyalty, A Day of Infamy, Darkest Hours, Stars and Planets, oh my! Trivia, GJW XI Round 2: Fiction, GJW XI Round 2: GFX, GJW XI Round 2: Puzzle, GJW XI Round 2: Gaming, Esoteric's Identity and GJW XI itself.

Apart from taking active part in various competitions and earning a Crescent for his efforts, Talis has helped the Summit in creation of an NPC, Wing Commander Bal Eris, and has earned an Anteian Cross for his assistance in this matter and general activity. He has also passed two leadership courses (Leadership: Management and Leadership: Competitions). His efforts in learning at the Shadow Academy, including getting a Dark Maven – Combat, has earned him Rank 4 in the Shadow Academy Society.

Talis has also earned 15 Crescents of Ice for accumulated 7500 words long fiction. Finally, his character Wiki article has been approved by the Wiki Staff, as it provides valuable insight into the past and personality of his character.

All these achievements make Talis more than ready to finally become a fully-trained Jedi Knight. As he has mentioned himself, it is an irony that he has earned „Eternal Acolyte” Trophy by spending a full year at a rank of an Acolyte. Fortunately, it is no more and I am honoured to recommend him to a promotion to the final rank of the Journeyman. Congratulations!

Adept Xantros, 2016-03-24 20:59:46 UTC

Talis is the type of Journeyman any Quaestor can be proud of. He is vocal on the Clan Odan-Urr mailer as well as in the Clan Odan-Urr Telegram channel, also has been consistently active through competitions and project work, since his return, as stated above by our Rollmaster. Talis is the kind of member that brings passion and drive to everything he does even when his opinions are different from those of his peers, he still speaks up and is able to articulate his idea in a way that is enlightening to his point of view.

Since meeting Talis I have always considered him to be at the level of what one would expect of a Knight. Talis, keep up the hard work and I know I will have the pleasure of writing many more of these for you.

I can't say that I knew Talis during most of his time as a Journeyman, but since returning to activity at the end of February he's been a whirlwind of activity. Email, Telegram, fiction, ACC, SWTOR, oodles of competitions - there aren't many areas of the club that Talis hasen't managed to find his footing with in the last month. In fact, if anything I think Xantros understated Talis' achievements in the SA. He's passed 11 courses in the past month, earning himself a degree and two SAS ranks. More importantly, he's just a helpful and pleasant guy to have around. Talis has a bright future in Satele Shan, and the House will be unstoppable if we can recruit more Knights like him.

Headmistress Alethia Archenksova, 2016-03-24 02:49:34 UTC

Talis has definitely taken a non-traditional path to Knighthood, but as his most recent achievements have shown, he hasn't missed a beat. He has had a strong, engaging presence within our community and his activity spans the spectrum from gaming to traditional fiction and even jumping into the ACC.

Taken as a whole his path to Knighthood shows a perseverance to finish what one starts, even when real life doesn't always cooperate. That in and of itself is worthy of celebration but the sizable splash he has made in Odan-Urr since his return shows that he's far from finish and Knighthood is only the beginning.

Congratulations on your Knight saber Talis, I have no doubt I'll be welcoming you into the Equite ranks before too long.

Champion Rajhin Cindertail, 2016-03-24 03:39:44 UTC

I am proud to say I have watched Talis work his way up from a simple Apprentice through the ranks of Journeyman to be where he stands today: Knighthood. His constant activity, as mentioned by our Rollmaster, allows him to be considered a highly valued member. He has worked hard not only to elevate himself but to elevate his peers by constantly contributing well thought out ideas in Clan discussions as well as helping to rally support amongst the membership through the Clan email and Telegram channels.

As my Padawan, he always keeps me informed of tasks he’s completed as well as is always looking to do more. He is responsible, courteous and above all else, a good friend. Talis, this is why I’m honored to stand before you today as you reach this point in your career. Thank you for all the amazing work you've done, are doing and will do in the future. Congratulations!

Grand Inquisitor Lizuni Heraga, 2016-03-23 22:08:27 UTC

What can I say. This has been quite a journey. In the two months since joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and Clan Naga Sadow, Janos has continued to forge his own path. Everything this Journeyman has worked on, he has strode to do so with excellence. He has competed in thirty-six competitions, twenty-four of which have been since his promotion to Acolyte about a month ago. His efforts have borne him results, winning crescents in not one, not two, but nine competitions- six of which have been since achieving the rank of Acolyte.

The man has shown dedication in both gaming and fiction, netting one hundred and eighty-five Clusters of Fire, five Clusters of Earth, and nine Clusters of Ice. The kicker to this? All of these except one Cluster of Ice have been since achieving Acolyte. I don’t know about anybody else but I think that speaks to his drive for self-improvement! He has also fought hard in Jedi Academy, improving in leaps and bounds- helping him to achieve Rank IV in the Grand Master's Royal Guard.

Outside of pretty baubles and crescents, Janos has also worked to expand his character’s history in greater detail, writing over 3000 words of fiction and creating a quality wiki page. He has also engaged studies in the Shadow Academy, completing Leadership courses in both Competitions and Awards. He has gone on to apply that knowledge to use in the creation of content for his fellow club members. The ticker may not count it until it is completed, but the three competitions he has running at the writing of this recommendation tell me that Janos has a desire to do more than just consume.

So a person may look at all the above and say “okay so he completed the requirement for Knight. Good on him.” Speaking personally, I have to say that these factors and the time that I have spent with Janos Stormwind tell me this man could have a very long history with the club. Good times have been had in correspondence both privately in email and publicly among the Clan in Telegram. I can say it warms my heart to see the work he has put forward being rewarded. He has also like many here helped me to forge happy memories, and for that I thank him. I can say I wholeheartedly look forward to the future efforts of this fellow in the days to come, and I hope I will be permitted to help write part of his next promotion to come.

Rise as a Knight, my brother.

Janos has become a common sight in the Telegram CNS channel. Always having something to say that contributes to the topic, or asking questions to further his knowledge within the Brotherhood. It is with great pleasure to see another hard working member become Knighted!

I believe every member who has completed their journey to Knight has more to offer the Brotherhood, and Janos is definitely someone I would keep an eye on in the future. He is not afraid to ask questions, or come with suggestions to improve aspects of the Clan. It's this kind of attitude that gets stuff done and I hope he does not lose this passion for the Club.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to your EQ1 promotion Janos!

Grand Inquisitor Morax Darkblade, 2016-03-14 09:39:24 UTC

Janos came to me when he first joined, and stated that he wanted to use the DJB platform as a means of improving his LARP character. I honestly had no idea what to tell him, never looked at it from that angle. Together we worked through the details of what it means to be in the DJB, and he quickly took a liking to it.

From writing, to gaming, to the SA, Janos has taken part in all of it and seems to be destined to become one of those members who rises to greatness in the Brotherhood. As a famous Sith Lord once said, 'I'll be watching your career with great interest.'

Congratulations on your promotion to Knight and becoming a full member of the Brotherhood Janos!

Since their last promotion, Alishu has participated in three competitions, as well as wrote out over 1.000 words of excellent character fiction. He completed another Shadow Academy course, bringing his grand total to 37, and has patiently waited 21 days for his promotion! I've been very proud of how active Alishu has been, and now after all of his hard work, he's finally ready to climb to his next rank!

Well done, Alishu! Keep up the amazing work!
