I am honored to award Uji Tameike today for his continued, sustained work ethic to better himself, his House, and his Clan. This is just one more step on his journey, but I am honored to lift him up to the rank of Equite III today. I do not doubt that - one day - I will be part of his recommendation for Elder in the Brotherhood.

Since his last elevation, Uji has participated in 83 competitions, organized 20 competitions and co-organized 47 competitions. In addition, he has submitted 39 PvP Matches, logged 123 PvE Activities, finished 3 ACC Battles, submitted 7 Fiction Activities (4402 words!), passed a Shadow Academy course and one run-on post. He has also collected a Grand Cross of the Dark Side for his exceptional effort to produce content for Clan Arcona. He was also awarded an Anteian Cross for his activity and continued success as Aedile of House Galeres. He has also accrued 16 Crescents (1 Cr-D, 4 Cr-R, 4 Cr-A, 5 Cr-S, 2 Cr-E), 1 Pendant of Blood, 1350 Clusters of Fire, 428 Clusters of Earth, and 13 Clusters of Ice.

Uji also stands as the Aedile of House Galeres. He commands what I would argue is the most active House in the Brotherhood. For over 6 months, he has had his hand in every level of Clan Arcona from the Battle Teams of Galeres - Nighthawk & Soulfire - to Clan-wide events like Fall of SCEPTER, Halloween Horror Nights, and Captain Arcona: Civil War. He has been involved in planning and execution of several projects: ACE Pilot Program, Society Stimulus, Legendary Units, Post-DJK Mentorship, and Character Development (code name: Infinite Path). He maintains our relationship with Clan Odan-Urr, drove our GMRG participation (5 of Top 9 in Q3 2015, 9 of Top 13 in Q4 2015), and continues to manage relationships, projects and events with elan.

All of these things are hallmark traits of an advancing Equite in the Brotherhood. What I am most proud of, though, is his willingness to stand for what he believes in. Whether it is an old, wily Elder or a newly minted Equite, he stands firm for what Arcona should be for it’s members; setting the tone for leadership, dictating the pace for members, and helping usher in another Golden Age for Arcona. Thank you for everything you do, Donny.

Braecen Kaeth
Quaestor of Galeres

Braecen Kaeth, 2016-02-03 13:30:30 UTC

Uji is one of the most deserving people in the brotherhood to receive a promotion. Braecen has pretty much listed everything quantifiable that Donny has done and as an advisor to the summit and an involved BTL I can do nothing else but reiterate this. The sheer amount of work and effort this man has put in his job far outdo general guidelines. You often see Quaestor and Aedile perform in somewhat of a master/student pairing, not to take away from Braecen’s ability to teach, I feel Uji has been performing in a capability way outperforming any standards expected from an Aedile.

Donny has been an enormous motivator for myself to do a better job, other than that he has been a provider of activity for not just his house but Arcona as a whole. There is one such project that I would like to highlight. Arcona Gaming Dominance has been a huge success since day one, it’s increased the output of crescents and activity has been phenomenal and I know that it’s certainly helped cement Arcona’s domination of the GMRG top 13 in the last 2 quarters of 2015. After carefully creating this platform for our members to benefit from he decided it was time to hand over the reigns to myself and Rulvak. Since then we’ve been able to continue what he’s started and with the first 4 weeks of AGD just finished I can certainly say it’s as successful as ever.

I feel it’s important to mention that activity wise AGD and everything that Braecen has already mentioned did not impact Uji’s ability to perform well in perhaps the most important job of any leader in the brotherhood. As a Battle Team leader under him he’s always checking in with his subordinates and members. Always offering guidance, friendship and pretty much anything else they might need. All in all, my time working with Uji has been nothing but a joy, and I look forward to continuing our teamwork for as long as we can.

Uji has been one of the key members and leaders responsible in keeping our members and leaders (myself included) motivated, excited and I guess most importantly active and happy to be a part of this awesome House, Clan and Brotherhood.

Donny, as one of your BTL’s, but also as your friend, thank you for what you do for us. This place wouldn’t be the same without you.

Uji Tameike, the Don Man. I’m sure you all agree that he deserves this promotion. He does a ton of work. One might even say he is married to it. We are his labor of love. Donny sets an example for all of us to see, and he doesn’t stop there. He directly gets in contact, finds your niche and amplifies it while also helping you work on your downfalls. He is one of the guys that helped me get to where I am today.

When Esca left Nighthawk and went on to bigger things, Donny stepped in. He took over as Battle Team Leader, and from there took me in. He was always showing me how to do things, and he never lacked ideas for improvement. When he moved on, he encouraged me to step up, but I resisted at first. I never wanted to do more work outside of my job. After Bleu left the spot, I decided to give it a try after even more encouragement from him. After becoming Battle Team Leader, I learned his labor of love, and now work with him even more to produce content to keep Arcona active, and more importantly, having fun.

If that isn’t a shining example of his leadership, outside of all the information provided by Braecen, then I don’t know what else I can say. Donny, thanks for being my Aedile, my Battle Team Leader, my mentor, and my friend. You’ve made this experience truly exhilarating. Congratulations on Equite III!

Rulvak Qurroc
Battle Team Leader of Nighthawk

Ghost Rulvak Qurroc, 2016-02-02 17:41:42 UTC

Equite III members are those that have put all of their effort into leading by example and ensuring the rise in their fellow members and subordinates. These members show us time and time again that they have what it takes to rise up to any challenge put before them and just knock it out of the park. Today, I get to watch one of our most active leaders rise up himself and be celebrated for his hard work. Today, I am proud to watch Uji be elevated to a rank that only 0.92% of the DJB are currently holding.

Since my departure from Nighthawk Battleteam, Uji has been amazing and nothing short of legend within Galeres. He took over the team quickly and managed to keep the high activity momentum going that made the team special. Not limiting himself there, he elevated his responsibilities by taking on the mantle of Galeres Aedile, to which he has successfully brought that high activity mindset to the entire House, rather than just the smaller Battleteam. Without Uji, I don’t think Galeres, or even the Clan, would be where it is at now. His constant willingness to help the junior and veteran members alike is addicting and it’s something I can personally take into my own practices. It’s this sort of devotion and drive that we love to see from our leaders, and something I hope to see spread to every member Uji interacts with moving forward.

I just want to say “thank you” Uji, for everything you have done and everything I know you will soon accomplish. This rank will truly suit you and I anticipate a renewed desire to achieve moving into the future. Congratulations, my friend!

Arcia Cortel
Proconsul of Arcona

Rear Admiral Arcia Cortel, 2016-02-02 17:42:29 UTC

Uji is someone I didn’t really know other than by reputation until he replaced Esca as BTL of the legendary Nighthawk and took an active role in the clan summit. When I returned to leadership in Arcona as the Quaestor of Galeres I was probably one of the luckiest leaders in the Brotherhood to inherit Uji as my deputy. Even though my tenure in Galeres was cut short, I do not regret my time there in the least because I got to know leaders like Uji. He earned my utmost respect immediately with his impeccable work ethic and undeniable passion for taking care of the members in his charge.

Our plotting and collaboration begun in those early days in Galeres have continued long since and I can say I count him as one of my most respected peer leaders and someone I count on for advice, a collaborative partner, or someone to bounce ideas with while gaming. We share best practices, lessons learned, and content ideas across clan borders and both our units are better for it. He is a consummate leader both in his own clan, the gaming community and beyond. He has demonstrated that he is someone who both sees the larger picture beyond his own sandbox and more importantly is someone who tirelessly gives back to the Brotherhood. He is easily capable of being a Quaestor or Proconsul at this very moment should the right opportunity arise and I look forward to continuing to work with him as a partner as he advances up the ranks.

Congratulations my friend, it’s been an honor and pleasure to have gotten to know you and work beside you these past months.

Turel Sorenn
Proconsul, Clan Odan-Urr

Champion Rajhin Cindertail, 2016-02-02 17:43:39 UTC

Over the past seven months, I've had the distinct pleasure of watching Uji Tameike grow into the role of Aedile. Though he was thrust into the position by circumstance, he has taken on the mantle sure handedly and continued the grand tradition of Galeres, consistently working to keep the members of his House active and engaged. Not a day passes where he isn't striving to help his members be better and get more from their time in the Brotherhood. And that, after all, is what leadership in the DB is all about.

Stalwart. Professional. Consistent. Dependable. Timely. Imaginative. Diligent. These are all words that could be used to describe Uji and his efforts towards making Galeres the powerhouse it is, but they fail to capture the spirit of his work. He is exemplary in everything he does, and one need only look at the state of his House to see it. Whatever the role, whatever the responsibility, Uji is always ready to work tirelessly to see it done.

Thank you, Donny, for the countless hours and incalculable effort you have dedicated to making Arcona a better, healthier Clan. Now enjoy the fruits of your labor, Seer.

• Terran Koul, Aedile, House Qel-Droma of Clan Arcona

Terran Koul, 2016-02-02 17:44:30 UTC

I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working alongside Uji — or Donny — and watching him accomplish many things in his career, and I can say for certain that the last seven months have been not only excellent, as his efforts tend to be, but exemplary. Uji is an example, not just of a model member or leader, but of the very characteristic that defines us in name: brotherhood. It is this trait that we praise most, elevating those who work not for themselves but for the betterment of all, for our brotherhood. It is for this that I welcome him to the ranks of Equite III.

Uji’s colleagues will tell you of his inordinate levels of personal activity, of his leadership and inspiration as an Aedile, of his ability to flawlessly mediate in a Clan of many strong voices, as well as compete, delegate, administrate, and still be done in time for (sweet) tea. Some of those colleagues include people outside even his own summit - and I will tell you why. What prizes Uji most is his capability in creating and fostering community, among all people from all walks of this club. He does it in constant communication with his leadership team, in motivating his members and leading by example during events, in generating excitement for various activities and positions, and so much more. But he also does it by searching out all the little avenues that we — as a House, Clan, and Brotherhood — could be better, happier, and then gathering people together for it.

He did it when he approached the FIST staff with a series of competitions specifically meant to revitalize gaming in Arcona; when he ceaselessly encouraged some good sport and tremendous effort in tackling the GMRG rankings last quarter; when he took part in the planning and execution of programs for Post DJK Mentorship, Ace Piloting, Character Development, and more; and even small efforts, as when he collaborated and shared best practices with others to propose a free form fiction competition to his sister summit for them to run jointly, for all our Battleteams to enjoy. The atmosphere of his House, his Clan, and all areas he touches is one of companionship, good-natured competition, and unity — one of brothers. It is not in the least difficult to see the reason why in Uji’s daily contributions.

Further, though, is the way these contributions are inclusive of everyone in the Brotherhood — most notably with Uji’s amiable attitude towards the gaming community. He planned and participated in all sorts of gaming events, calling on and welcoming those from other Clans for Jedi Academy FFAs, Destiny and Star Conflict groups, and more, all while crafting friendships and camaraderie between bodies like Arcona and others, like Odan-Urr — quite the change from isolated gaming culture of years past. It’s the ease and enthusiasm with with he fosters this sort of rapport, so genuinely and actively, that assures me wherever Uji goes and whatever he does, he will be doing so with far more than just Arcona at his side, not when he’s got a whole Brotherhood to bring together.

And so I say, for the reasons his Quaestor and all his other fellows will outline, and for the solidarity he so readily champions: congratulations, my friend. You’ve done well.

Felix Fulmen is a rising star in Clan Plagueis and House Ajunta Pall. Over the course of the past 24 days, Felix has systematically tacked multiple promotion requirements.

Felix has immersed himself in all facets of the club, earning crescents for competition placement, clusters of earth and fire for gaming, and excelling in the Shadow Academy. Not satisfied with just consuming, Felix has also co-organized two competitions, one for fiction (Dreams of the Past) and one for Graphics (Once Upon a Time...). Felix continues to be an active presence in our Clan telegram channel, always working to learn how the club works, and always working toward the betterment of himself and the clan.

The raw data speaks for itself: An active presence on Telegram, check. Pass courses in the Shadow academy, check. Reach GMRG Rank 3, check. Place in competitions, check. Earn clusters, double check. Earn a merit award, co-organize competitions, check-check-check.

Felix has been an absolutely excellent addition to the House Ajunta Pall team, and there is absolutely no limit to his potential. I am proud to recommend him for promotion to the rank of Yeoman! Congrats, Felix! Keep up the good work.

Master Dracaryis, 2016-02-02 21:28:11 UTC

Rian Taldrya. There’s not much I can say about this guy that I haven’t probably already said a dozen times over in the various recommendations for awards that I submitted when I was his second in command. Even still, knowing that I’ve said it all doesn’t make me want to stop saying it. Rian Taldrya is a great member of the Brotherhood. He’s a stalwart friend who took the reins to try to hold together a demoralized Clan. He’s a leader who stood at helm and overseen a clan resurrected. He’s a member who always does his absolute best to make sure he is part of making this club a better place for everyone involved.

He’s basically everything that I think members in the Brotherhood should be. Now, Howie is going to go over some of the stats that Rian has under his belt since his last promotion, so I won’t be going into complete detail with all of those, but something I would like to touch on is Rian’s participation ratios. As of writing this recommendation, Rian has not been promoted for 749 days. In that period, Rian has participated in 113 competitions. 113 competitions alone seems like a lot, but when you factor in the realization that it means Rian participates in a new competition roughly every 6.62 days, you start to get a sense of what I’m playing at. Competitions, to my mind, are the core of what it means to be an active member in the DB. They’re the chances we take to both create, and participate in others creations. They’re the single thing that make this club different than so many other internet clubs; and Rian participates in a new competition nearly every week.

Since his last promotion, Rian led Taldryan for over a year. He’s been extremely active in competition participation. He’s mentored someone to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, even after that person left the Clan to try something new. Rian’s a special member of the Brotherhood, and he’ll long be remembered as the man who helped Taldryan back from the abyss. He is more than deserving of this promotion to the highest levels of the Equite class.

Rian, it is my very great honour to promote you to the rank of Augur.. whatever the hell that is. Congrats bud.

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor,

Consul of Clan Taldryan

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor, 2016-01-31 22:46:47 UTC

Rian has been a dedicated and stalwart member of Taldryan for the past two years, with a sizeable chunk of that time as Taldryan’s first post-declanning Consul (and our last Quaestor following the declanning). He served his clan as its leader, and continued to do so following his retirement in the form of competition participation, placement and running – as well as gaming and fictional activity. In short? Rian has continued to be an active member of our clan and of the Brotherhood, and it is high time that he is recognized for it. Since his last promotion, Rian has participated in 113 competitions, and placed in 32 of them – that’s nearly 1 placement for every 3 competitions participated in. I don’t know about you? But I’m impressed with that record. Additionally, Rian has continued to be a creative force for competitions having organized or co-organized 25 competitions, including Holiday Bashes in 2015, competitions during our Gathering Darkness event, and the commissioning competitions for the Taldryan Expansionary Force!

In addition, Rian earned a Sapphire Blade from the retiring Grand Master for his service as Consul, which included (amongst many other activities), leadership of our clan during the most recent Great Jedi War, posting a dozen Quaestor and Consul reports, and the creation of the above competitions. Rian has also continued to be an active gamer and fiction(er) (is that a word?) – having earned himself 2 Pendants of Blood for his TOR activity, nearly 100 gaming clusters, and 48 Clusters of Ice for fiction writing. Rian was also awarded a Dark Cross by (at the time) Voice Pravus for leading Taldryan into having the best ACC qualification. Finally, Rian recently earned a Scroll of the Master for aiding Rex Silverthorn (aka Draco Sangria) in his trials towards Knighthood.

For his service to Clan Taldryan as Consul, for his unending activity in creating and participating in competitions, and for his overall Rianlike behaviour, it is my pleasure to recommend Rian Taldrya for promotion to the rank of Augur. Congratulations Rian!

Howlader Taldrya, 2016-01-30 17:18:26 UTC

Little Bobecc… I feel Taldryan was blessed with very good fortune the day Bobecc landed on our doorstep. Since his elevation to Knight, Bobecc has spent roughly 10 months in some sort of position on the House summit, either leading the Wardens, or in his current role as Aedile, and it’s been a productive 10 months.

Ever since he joined he has been an active force in our communications channels, sometimes to the point of annoying old curmudgeons like me. He’s always around, and despite my grumbles, activity and constant communication are two of my favourite attributes in potential leaders within the Brotherhood, and Bobecc has that potential. Bob is growing into that potential daily, and while Howie will undergo the arduous task of outlining his entire activity list, I feel that in Bobecc’s case it is as much the intangibles as it is the tangible that makes him a leader in our Clan. His ability to act as an advisor, his willingness to be a sounding board, and a devil's advocate is much appreciated by everyone on the summit.

Therefore I do hereby elevate Bobecc Varga to the rank of Warrior, congratulations Bob.

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor,

Consul of Clan Taldryan

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor, 2016-01-31 22:47:35 UTC

Bob has been on my go to guy for a year now. He's been my Battle Team Sergeant, Battle Team Leader and now my Aedile, proving himself more valuable to Ektrosis in each roll. Whenever I start to fail at my job he picks up the slack, insuring the house does not fall into a lull. He is incredibly active in chat, helping members at just about all hours of the day, and jumping at the opportunity of helping helping new members to the house.

Bob also loves the word "Why?" which I love. He is always looking to learn the ins and outs of his position and the DJB, following the Taldryan credence of giving blunt opinions and questioning everything. He's not afraid of asking random questions or correcting a superior's mistakes. Aside from the participation and merits received already listed, the desire to insure Taldryan's quality is what makes Bobecc great. Congrats Bobbecc (I'll get your name right sooner or later.)

Raistline Taldrya Majere, 2016-01-31 04:56:43 UTC

Ah, Bobecc von Bobecc of the Bobeccian Bobeccs. I'm very proud of you. You've gone from a nub wandering in the wilderness of the Brotherhood to a productive, dedicated and independent leader! Since Bobecc was promoted to (Dark Jedi) Knight, Bobecc has competed in 23 competitions, earning 8 crescents and a Legion of the Scholar in the process. In addition, he's earned 60 Clusters of Fire and a handful of Clusters of Earth. He also mentioned Seyda to Knight - earning himself a Scroll of the Master. Finally, he's taken up the mantle of Aedileship, having posted a number of house level reports, as well as running competitions. Bobecc has continued to grow as a member, and I hope this next phase in his development will lead him to newer and shinier things in the future. As they say, nothing succeeds like success. For his service to Clan Taldryan and House Ektrosis, Bobecc should be promoted to Warrior! Congrats Bobecc!

Howlader Taldrya, 2016-01-30 21:10:52 UTC

Wow, Time already for Bobecc. Bobecc has been one of my closest friends in the DJB since my return. He has been ever helpful and encouraging. It's important for the club to recognize the social aspects of the DJB. Where else are we to find others who have similar interests. Many times we talk about Clusters, Awards, Competitions, Leadership Skills. All of these go along with being a good and active member within the club. A missed aspect is the social interactions, and these are very important. Engaging members socially keeps them coming back, a group of friends banding together. I can honestly say; though I may only know him online; that I consider him a close friend within this club. Not only towards me, but to others he is friendly. He reaches out to new members and encourages them, and creates the type of environment where people feel accepted.

-SW^Omega Quaestor of House Dinaari

Omega Kira, 2016-01-31 06:10:03 UTC

Since his last promotion, I have given Omega Kira two absolutely thankless jobs. Ever since Taldryan reclanned, House Dinaari has struggled with finding itself again. It’s always fallen a bit behind its sister House Ektrosis. But Omega never wavered in his dedication: first to the now defunct Harbingers battle team, and then as Quaestor itself. Howie will get into the nitty gritty of all the great work that Omega has done, all the competitions created and participated in, but for my part, I would just like to focus on the leadership Omega has given his House, and indeed the Clan.

Consistency is one of those strange words. People seem to think that it’s a half of an insult, but to my mind, consistency is the bedrock on which all other greatness is built, and Omega is nothing if not consistent. His work as Quaestor has been great: he’s always willing to sit down and brainstorm with me on ways to try to improve his House. When the idea was presented that we categorize Dinaari as Taldryan’s gaming house, Omega was all over it. He immediately tried to find ways to integrate more gaming into the fabric of the house. He created the popular Dinaari Presents series of competitions that he runs not only for the Clan, but for the entire Brotherhood. The gaming initiative has now been abandoned, but still Omega does his best every day to serve his members well.

These are just a few of the qualities that make Omega so very deserving of elevation, and it is therefore my pleasure and honour to promote him to the rank of Battlemaster.

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor,

Consul of Clan Taldryan

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor, 2016-01-31 22:47:56 UTC

Oh, Little Omega. Best apprentice ever (because I didn't have to do anything and he just became awesome all on his own). Since his last promotion about a year ago, Omega has earned himself a Steel Cross, 6 competition crescents, 6 Clusters of Ice, and over three hundred gaming clusters. In addition to his activity as a regular member (which included participation in over 50 competitions), Omega has also took up the mantle of leadership of House Dinaari - and in Clan Taldryan itself. He's organized or co-organized 30 competitions, and authored 14 reports as Dinaari Quaestor, and previously the Leader of the Harbingers. For his service to his House and Clan in leadership and continued activity, Omega should be promoted to Battlemaster! Congratulations!!

Howlader Taldrya, 2016-01-31 15:34:40 UTC

Warrior Aiden Dru has been a great asset to Ektrosis. Since his last promotion over a year ago Dru has earned a Dark Cross and Anteian Cross for his efforts, participating in seventy-four competitions, ranking in thirteen of them. He has also been upping his pvp game earning four Pendants of Blood in just the past two months and fifty-six clusters of fire, climbing to rank VII in the Grand Masters's Royal Guard. He has also earned a Scroll of the Master for mentoring Aiden Lee.

What really stands out is his presence. Not only is Dru always available, (serious, I don't think he sleeps,) but Dru is incredibly competitive and has an ability to goad others into participating in competitions. There has been several occasions where a competition would have fizzled and his smack talk saved it, making the comp a larger Taldryan event. This ability to get the best out of other members is a rare and important asset to Taldryan.

I feel that in addition to his time in rank, his participation levels in competition, gaming, mentoring and raising the overall level of participation from the clan warrants Dru the rank of Battlemaster. Congrats Drusicle!

Raistline Taldrya Majere, 2016-02-01 04:09:21 UTC

Ugh, Worst Aiden. He's not at all awesome like Aiden Lee. That said, Aiden Dru has been a stalwart if somewhat jackassly member of Taldryan - but we like you just the same. Since Druler's last promotion, he's participated in 70 competitions, netting himself 13 Crescents. He's also earned an Anteian and Dark Cross for his service to the Brotherhood, as well as four Pendants of Blood, 58 CFs, and a Cluster of Ice. Finally, Dru mentored Best Aiden (aka Aiden Lee) to Knight, earning himself a Scroll of the Master! For his service to Taldryan and to the Brotherhood, Aiden Dru should be promoted to Battlemaster! Congratulations Dru!

Howlader Taldrya, 2016-01-31 17:50:51 UTC

Aiden Dru, what can I say about you? Rhyming aside Dru has been one of the most active members of Taldryan. The only thing more active than Dru in competitions is Dru in Telegram and IRC, Dru is hands down the most vocal member of Taldryan. While it can get him in trouble he is overall a pleasure to have him around and he at the very least keeps things interesting. Dru has participated in an astounding 74 competitions since his last promotion. Dru isn’t too shabby at competitions either taking home 2 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 1 with an Amethyst Star, 5 with Sapphire Stars, and 5 more with Emerald Stars. Dru has stepped up his game both figuratively and literally receiving 4 Pendants of Blood, and 56 Clusters of Fire. Dru’s very vocal self has even gone on to create 663 Words of Fiction. The one thing that Dru has tackled since his last promotion and my personal favorite achievement of his, guiding Aiden Lee to the rank of Knight. Dru has done incredible work and has made Taldryan a better and more interesting place, for these reasons Dru should be promoted to Battlemaster! Congratualtions!

Bobecc Varga, 2016-02-01 02:06:54 UTC

I was incredibly excited when I saw Warrior Kookimarissia Mimosa-Inahj would be joining the ranks of Taldryan six months ago. Her level of activity was well known outside of Arcona. Since her last promotion a year ago Kooki has continued that level of activity, earning the rare feat of receiving Steel Crosses from two different clans. In the past year she has served as a Battle Team Sergeant of Arete for three months, recruited a member, completed seven SA courses, earned forty-five CoF's,organized/co-organized three competitions and participated in seventy competitions, ranking or winning nineteen of those comps. What is truly amazing is the amount of fiction she has pumped out. In two ACC battles and twenty-five fiction activities she has written 31654 words of fiction nabbing her seventy-one CoI's and making her the fifth highest member of Taldryan's Inquisitors.

Kooki is an amazing member to have. Her participation levels are high and she takes the time and effort to make sure her fictions are of quality. I feel her activities and merits in the DJB warrant a promotion to the rank of Battlemaster. And as always Kooki, this is for you: @)--'--,--

Raistline Taldrya Majere, 2016-02-01 04:09:30 UTC

Kooki joined Taldryan about half a year ago, and has continued with the same standands of activity that she had in Clan Arcona. Since her last promotion, Kooki has participated in 70 competitions, earned two Steel Crosses, earned 19 Crescents, 71 Clusters of Ice, 45 Clusters of Fire, and a Scroll of Foundation. She's also been adding to the greater health of the Brotherhood, having organized three competitions. For her service to Taldryan and to the Brotherhood, Kookimarissia Mimosa-Inahj should be promoted to Battlemaster. Congratulations!

Howlader Taldrya, 2016-01-31 16:16:44 UTC

When Kooki joined us in July I was excited to have a member I knew would be both active and a delight to have around. It’s interesting to have someone join the Clan and already know that you can expect great things from them. Kooki, however, exceeded my expectations and has done many great things since her last promotion, and some amazing thing since she’s joined Taldryan. Having earned 116 Clusters, close to 20 Crescents, but it doesn’t stop there. Kooki has created 3 competitions and participated in 70 competitions. Kooki’s creative doesn’t stop there she has posted over 31,500 words of fiction and passed 7 Shadow Academy Courses.
