On this two-year anniversary of his time in the DJB, I would like to award Arron with the honorable rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

He has recently done a push to complete the few things that were remaining for his knighthood, hungry to reach that milestone. Earlier in the year, he participated in the GJW, earning a Dark Cross. He also won a crescent for a haiku competition, participating in 6 since his last promotion. Also since JH, he's earned 2 degrees from 9 SA courses. I see he is an excellent writer and character builder. His wiki was almost complete when I looked it over, simply needing tweaking for the new requirements and to polish it up. It was nice to see some originality and I hope he continues to write with us.

His slow, but steady rise in power proves that each member has the opportunity to go at their own pace, contributing toward the clan, to attain both personal glory and clan pride. For the Empire!

I have been working with Arron Saylos as a mentor, and a friend, for over a year now, and he has built a very interesting Cathar character with considerable thought to fit in among the Dark Brotherhood. He has participated in a wide range of competitions with six since his last promotion, but his character got a chance to shine as he participated in the most recent Great Jedi War where he earned a Dark Cross in part for his efforts there. He has furthered his studies in the Shadow Academy and most recently with an approved Wiki article by the Wiki Tribune is ready for the final steps to Dark Jedi Knight. I've enjoyed the occasional email and back and forth discussion on building characters and what types of opportunities that are available in the Dark Brotherhood over the past year, and hope that this friendship continues far beyond what may be considered a conclusion of mentorship. You never really stop learning about the Dark Brotherhood and making new friends. Congratulations on Dark Jedi Knight Arron Saylos, and look forward to seeing you around wielding your lightsaber.

It is always a great day to see another member come to the end of their knighthood trials. Arron has done CSP and himself, proud in reaching this momentous occasion. From his participation in competitions, to commenting on news posts, to hard work in the Shadow Academy, Arron has pushed forward with a strong hand.

Rise Arron Saylos, Dark Jedi Knight! Congratulations! Drinks are on you!

Since his demotion to Guardian, Delak has continued to be an integral part of Scholae Palatinae, staying positive and supportive and engaged in activities to help the Clan and his brethren. Now that the three months have passed, I am anxious to reward him for all of his efforts with a promotion.

He is active and friendly on irc, he's posted on the djb forum, and he is very encouraging and positive in clan emails, especially for promotions for others. He has followed through on his service as Master to Upside, recently knighted, earning Delak a Scroll of the Master.

Of course he already qualifies for the rank, having completed all the activities long ago. But beyond that, in the last three months he has been awarded 7 Crescents & 7 Clusters of Ice for submissions to 20 competitions overall, including 6 in clan event Entanglement and 4 in the big feud Red Fury, ranking 7th place in that parent competition to help the pride of the clan.

I am happy to see Delak remain a productive and inspiring member to Scholae, appreciated and needed by us. I look forward to his rise in power in the Dark Side!

Mayda Ferium, 2015-06-21 04:17:35 UTC

Delak has been anxiously awaiting this day for several months now. Never letting the situation get the better of him, he has remained a strong active member of Scholae Palatinae. Always looking for activity, and ways of reaching out to the members, Delak is always there for support to whoever needs it. He leads the charge for activity and has never wavered in his dedication to this club. Congrats Delak.

I am honoured to recommend Kintocass for promotion to Guardian. In his time as a Protector, Kintocass has managed to be an active brotherhood member, both on IRC and on the DJB Voice channels. A lot of Kintocass' work has been spent developing their character. They have written a character History document for eventual posting onto their character's wiki page. Not only has he developed his character's past, Kintocass has worked on developing his character in real time, writing 1500 words of character fiction. Kintocass has also created an approved character sheet, adding more depth to their character. Kintocass has also made sure to give back to Arcona, co-organising a competition for Arconan members to enjoy.

Congratulations, Kintocass. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

Rollmaster of Arcona

Onwai Starborne has met the requirements for promotion to Guardian after actively working on all of his requirements. He has completed the time requirement of 14 days in rank along with logging on to IRC and visiting the Clan channel. He has also participated in 5 competitions, earning himself 25 Clusters of Earth/Fire. Onwai has been actively completing many courses in the Shadow Academy, achieving rank 2 in the Shadow Academy Society. We have also gotten to read a great fiction from him, outlining a bit of his character’s history along with how he came to be a member of the DJB, completing the requirement for 750 words of fiction. It is for these reasons and that Onwai has been an active and engaged member since he joined us that I am proud to request his promotion to Guardian. Congratulations Onwai! Well earned!
