Seyda's been a fantastic addition to Taldryan - not only is she active (hence the promotion), she's also fitting into our culture - and I expect her to be a proud member of the equite class before too long. Since her last promotion, Seyda has earned herself a Dark Cross, 3 Crescents (Amethyst, Topaz, and an Emerald), as well as 9 Clusters of Fire. In addition to completing two Shadow Academy Leadership courses, she was also promoted to Freshman in the Shadow Academy Society! She has been an active (and successful!) competitor, and is also active on IRC, regularly hanging out in #taldryan. I look forward to seeing what she'll do in the future - and I suspect it will be great things. Congratulations Seyda!

Howlader Taldrya, 2015-04-06 19:27:43 UTC

Seyda has been a joy to have in the Clan. She has plowed ahead in her activity, quickly running through what is required of her, while still being a truly communicative member of the Clan. Her consistent activity has brought her to this point, and I can't wait until she reaches that DJK milestone and keeps on going.

Congratulations, Seyda, and keep up the fantastic work!

Lord Halcyon, 2015-04-06 17:28:58 UTC

Suur is a member of great talent, and exactly the kind of person Odan-Urr needs. Since joining Clan Odan-Urr, he's been participating to his best ability, having earned top placement in the puzzle competition from Tales of New Tython: Lost Civilization. This competition was the hardest puzzle the Brotherhood has seen in a while, being a translation from a barely-readable language without a perfect translation from basic. He managed to finish this decoding in less than an hour with only one mistake - the least amount out of no less than fourteen participants. I hope to see this activity spreading through our ranks in the months moving forward, as well as look towards his progress.

Seer A'lora Kituri, 2015-04-06 20:16:44 UTC

Members like Suur are a dream come true for anyone in Leadership for this club. Without any prodding by Summit (quite the reverse) he jumped into IRC and quickly started chattign with other members. He also badgered me and a few of his other Clanmates into playing Diablo 3 with him. (This earned him 51 CFs, and GMRG Rank 2)

He was also a big participant in our recent Clan Wide competition participating in 2 of the events and winning 1st in one (netting him a Cr:R). In addition he has participated in 7 other competitions ranging from house to DJB wide level. He has also been a major player on the Shadow Academy taking over 20 courses and obtaining rank 2 in the SA Society.

For all these reasons I recommend Suur for an immediate promotion.

General Daniel Stephens, 2015-04-06 20:14:34 UTC

Bobecc Varga has quickly become one of Taldryan's up and coming stars. Ever since he joined the Clan, he's been a constant presence on IRC, and an active participant in both Clan and Brotherhood wide events. He's recently stepped up into the roll of Battleteam leader and has been a welcome addition to Taldryan's summit team. He's also been so gracious as to expose his real life girlfriend to this crazy crazy place, and we're all the better for it.

Basically, in the end, Bobecc is everything I could ask for out of a member of Taldryan. He's loyal, he's active, and he's dedicated to Taldryan and the Brotherhood. Therefore, it is with great honour that I promote him to the rank of Knight.

Congratulations Bobecc Varga, Knight of Taldryan!

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor, 2015-04-06 16:57:58 UTC

Bobecc has been a fantastic addition not only to Taldryan, but to a club as a whole. He has done everything asked of him and then some, being a constant source of both activity and communication. He has stood tall for us during the GJW and has continued to be a strong new leader in the Clan.

It's always a good time when you see someone reach DJK, and I very much look forward to seeing Bobecc go even further. Congratulations, Bobecc! Keep up the fantastic work

Lord Halcyon, 2015-04-06 14:50:25 UTC

Bobecc has had a fantastic start to his Dark Jedi Brotherhood career. In a short amount of time he has successfully completed all of his assigned tasks to rise from the ranks of APP all the way to DJK. During this time he has assimilated the the Dark Brotherhood's culture, participated in a myriad of events, and even recruited his girlfriend (who looks like my sister). Bobecc has a bright future in front of him and will no doubt serve at the highest echelons of our club in the future. Great work Bobecc!

Grand Master Declan Roark, 2015-04-06 14:43:27 UTC

Bobecc Varga been a great journeyman for Taldryan - and I look forward to seeing what he will do in the future, including what he'll do with the Wardens as its Battleteam Leader (thus far, he's been doing a bang up job!). Since his last promotion, Bobecc has earned himself an Anteian Cross, a Crescent with Sapphire Star and 39 Clusters of Fire, he's also participated in about 10 competitions - and is currently in the midst of organizing his first! Bobecc is going to go far in this club, I think, because he's got the right disposition and drive amongst his clan mates, but he can also see upwards, where things need to go - and I look forward to him joining the ranks of Taldryan's finest one day. Congratulations!

Howlader Taldrya, 2015-04-06 14:56:17 UTC

Bobecc has been a beast since he joined. He has participated in a wide breadth of competitions, from run-ons to graphics to gaming to flash puzzles. He's been a strong presence in the gaming side of things, with heavy activity in both PvP and PvE. He's also been a constant presence on IRC and on the clan mailing list, adding that valued flavour to our community just by being there.

But it's not just his measurable activity that's been great - he has recently begun the steps down the road to being a strong leader. He contacted me within minutes of finding out that Raist had been promoted to Aedile, thus leaving open a Battleteam Leader position. In my mind, he'd always been my number one choice to fill the vacated spot, but his eagerness to serve really sealed the deal. He's been mentoring his new recruit, Seyda, who has also nearly reached DJK on her own as well. Finally, he has begun to give back to the community, having started to produce and run his own competitions for consumption of the general membership.

For all these reason, and the ones mentioned by my peers above and below, I am excited to see Bobecc earn the rank of Dark Jedi Knight!

General Kenath Zoron Ad Vizsla, 2015-04-06 14:59:23 UTC

Fourteen pages of history in Seraphol’s long career at Sentinel Ranger detail heaps of activity, leadership and commitment to the Brotherhood. Out of this long history dating back as far as 2006, he has served at various Aedile, Battle Team Leader and Shadow Academy positions. From the personal interactions he’s had over the last few years, I can vouch for his fun attitude and positive energy that he utilizes well in his roles. Most notably, the Knights of Allusis - one of three Battle Teams in Clan Odan-Urr was under his leadership, thriving with activity and a positive outlook towards the Brotherhood. Like all great leaders, he can be found at the forefront of activity throughout all of our notable events. He is a man of insane talent, with the capacity to give a unit his best leadership without feeling the burnout that inevitably follows a successful term. Without him, an important part of Odan-Urr would have crumbled, leaving the Knights of Allusis as a mere imprint in our historical records.

He’s mentored members and students under his guidance, attributing to his inspiring presence and complete devotion towards the advancement of his membership. Never has he asked for reward or recognition above his members; he would rather see those who follow him under the spotlight. This is a quality that I admire, and one that I would like to see take root in more of the Brotherhood. Few could match his activity since his last promotion - he’s a behemoth in gaming, and completely devoted to Odan-Urr’s success. He is a fair and caring individual, providing unprejudiced decisions and suggestions where needed. This was most evident in his application for the position of Quaestor, and the reason that he was appointed for the task of creating a new House from scratch. I can’t have built a lot of this without him, and would no doubt have made mistakes if it wasn’t for his advice and leadership.

Its been a long time coming, but I know that Seraphol has finally earned some recognition for his valiant efforts to bring some activity out of Odan-Urr. He’s earned this promotion twice over, and its time his service was awarded. Congratulations!

Seer A'lora Kituri, 2015-04-06 04:40:49 UTC

Seraphol or Daniel Stephens as some of the the older members may know him is something of a legend. He seamlessly combines the wisdom, maturity and institutional knowledge of an elder with the hard charging spirit and activity level of a younger member. And he’s only an EQ2? The time has come to make official what is already true, Seraphol is an upper equite working toward elder.

I got to know Seraphol through the Brotherhood gaming community where he is among the most prolific gamers. I was very lucky as a young BTL to have him join my battleteam, where he proved to be the perfect veteran and leader from within the ranks. His passion and enthusiasm for Odan-Urr is as contagious as it is undeniable. He possesses the somewhat unique ability to rally both the crustiest of veterans and the most driven younger members. This ability proved invaluable because Odan-Urr had some cultural tension at the time between the veterans and the newer generation. Seraphol became the bridge between old and new, while providing mentorship to a certain fiery young BTL. Even now, I still seek out his perspective and counsel for major decisions.

Seraphol stands among the Brotherhood’s champions and elder statesmen. I’m proud to count him among my friends and mentors. Congrats on EQ3 old man!

Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae, 2015-04-06 04:39:27 UTC

It has been a long, long time since Seraphol's last promotion. Almost nine years in fact. That is a very long time, and i should know. I was in his shoes not too long ago. I won' beat around the bush, Seraphol's activity has been impressive. He has held several positions in this time, most recently that of Battleteam Leader for Knights of Allusis - which I have observed with much interest as it was once my position to hold - and Recruitment staff. He has held these positions for five months and eight months respectively.

Among the multitude of his awards you can find four Anteian Crosses, a Steel Cross, two Grand Crosses, three Dark Crosses, two Scrolls of the master, a Scroll of indoctrination two Seals of Loyalty, six Scrolls of Foundation, and three Legions of the Scholar. His many vendetta competition awards, not including Seals for the most recent GJW, include a Bronze Nova in RoS Second Darkness, six Seals of the Crusader, one Seal of Decimation, one Seal of Return, four Seals of Defiance, one Seal of Bone, two Seals of Unity, eleven Seals of Remembrance, one Seal of Pain, three Seals of Darkness and three Seals of Duplicity.

Other awards include one Cluster of ice, five Crescents with Emerald Star, eight Crescents with Quartz Star, two Crescents with Topaz Star, three Crescents with Sapphire Star, and a Crescent with Ruby Star. Worth mentioning are the 2737 Clusters of Fire he accumulated and eleven Pendants of Blood. But Seraphol's achievements don't stop there. After all he has organized and co-organized five competitions, participated in eleven, and participated in six events in the last GJW, and has won a Gold Nova in one of the events.

I'd like to make a personal note here as well. Seraphol is living and breathing House Odan-Urr. He has been by far the most active leader in the House e-mail group during the Great Jedi War. Constantly supporting the membership and helping them participate in events with words of encouragement. I think Seraphol's promotion is way, way overdue and I think everyone else should think that as well. I would like to thank him for his service to the House, and I would like to congratulate him on this well-deserved promotion. Brother, congratulations. It's past time your achievements are recognized.

Boss Morgan B. Sorenn, 2015-04-06 04:40:11 UTC

Since his last promotion on June 10, 2006, Seraphol has lead a strong career bursting at the seams with activity. He has been a stalwart combatant in several major competitions, has been a vocal and active supporter of our House since his arrival in March 2014. He has also been an active member of the Recruitment Tribune’s staff since July 4, 2014, though I myself am not privy to what he himself has done for the Tribune.

As part of our leadership team, he is the Battleteam Leader of the Knights of Allusis, and has been for five months (since 15 September 2015). During this time, he has been in near constant communication with the Summit group, the House googlegroup, and individually with his team, encouraging and supporting everyone and doing his best to drive activity and prove that the Knights remain “First to Defend, Last to Fall”. Under his leadership, nine out of ten members of his team participated in the eleventh Great Jedi War, and six members of his team participated in the third round of the Fading Light Vendetta.

He has organized 4 competitions himself, including a Corellian Campaign setting, and took on the reigns as a last minute co-organizer of the Affliction major House event when the original event planner was unexpectedly appointed to the Grand Master’s staff. In Affliction, he and Liam both took on the role of judges and administrators for the entire event.

In the Fading Light Vendetta, he participated in four of five events, and in the eleventh Great Jedi War he participated in seven of eleven events, placing ninth in Round 2 Gaming and helping his team secure first place in the Battleplan team event.

Going back further, he has a long history of participating in major events, earning the following Vendetta Seals: 6 of the Crusader (Dark Crusade and Fading Light), one of Decimation (GJW X), one of the Return (2011 Independence Games), 4 of Defiance (Rite of Supremacy: Disorder), 1 of Bone (Rite of Supremacy: Spoils of War), 2 of Unity (GJW 9), 11 of Remembrance (2008 Independence Games), 1 of Pain (GJW 8), 3 of Darkness (Rite of Supremacy: Second Darkness, earning a Bronze Nova) and 3 of Duplicity (GJW 6).

For his efforts so far, he has been awarded two Grand Crosses, a Steel Cross, four Anteian Crosses, three Dark Crosses, and two Seals of Loyalty. He has also earnt 2 Scrolls of the Master for mentoring members to Knight status, and collected an impressive tally of 19 Crescents (1 Ruby, 3 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, 2 Topaz and 8 Quartz), eleven Pendants of Blood and 2,737 Clusters of Fire. He has earnt 3 Legions of the Scholar, a Cluster of Ice, 6 Scrolls of Foundation, and a Scroll of Indoctrination.

With such an impressive career as a second-level Equite, I wish to endorse Seraphol’s promotion to the third Equite rank, and offer you my sincerest gratitude for being awesome. Congratulations, Seraphol.

Mandalorian Darcy Avarik, 2015-04-06 04:40:37 UTC

Rulvak Qurroc has spent 28 days as Jedi Hunter. During that time, he has been a powerhouse of activity. He was awarded an Anteian Cross for his hard work as a member of Arcona in the War, an award he most certainly deserved. He's been incredibly active in gaming circles as well, managing to pick up 6 Pendants of Blood and 75 Clusters of Fire for his efforts, a laudable achievement. This has brought him up to the rank in the GMRG of IV. He's been throwing himself into the spirit of the club, participating in 8 competitions, and winning crescents in a few of them as well, showing skill alongside drive. He's also been active in the Shadow Academy, working in the Leadership studies department and passing 2 exams.

Rulvak has shown himself as a valuable member of the Brotherhood of Arcona, a pillar of our new membership. Not only is he an active member, he also has the awards to show his competency. For the reasons listed above, I am honoured to recommend Rulvak Qurroc for promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations, Rulvak.

-Nikola Valtiere, Rollmaster

Nikola Valtiere Erinos, 2015-04-06 01:36:39 UTC

Rulvak has been at the core of renovations to the Nighthawk Battleteam. Not only has he assisted in multiple ways, including creating content, proofing, and guiding other members on development. He has also served as Battleteam Sergeant of the Nighthawk for the last twenty five days, assisting in creating competitions and in grading them.

This involvement doesn't begin to touch on the guidance he has provided Arcona's gaming members in Destiny, where he has frequently made a point of running raids, strikes and PvP teams with his fellow Arconans.

It is my honor as Captain of the Nighthawk to recommend Rulvak for this promotion.

Eminent Ikarri Itinen, 2015-04-02 21:18:51 UTC

Rulvak, or Warp as most of us gamers know him by, has been a great surprise since his joining of the Brotherhood. Initially, we only thought he joined for gaming, but quickly proved us wrong with a name change and a charge into the Shadow Academy. Even more impressive of a feat, Warp typically had his promotion requirements said and done before his time in rank was even close. This shows the initiative that we hope to see from future recruits. I can see this member rising quickly through the rest of the ranks within the Brotherhood and continuing to offer his assistance in anything that comes his way. We have a leader in the making here, so keep up the great work!

I am proud to have assisted Warp through his rise in rank, and I am honored to see him elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations, Rulvak.
