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!

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

Fist Uji Tameike, 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.

I am honored to be recommending Sandrin for her elevation to the rank of Guardian. Since joining the brotherhood she has been an active and driven member inside of Clan Naga Sadow and House Marka Ragnos. Striving to continue her work towards the path of Knighthood and constantly working on requirements.

Since her last elevation she has completed all tasks set forth by the Master at Arms Office. She has been in the current rank of Protector for her time requirement, during this period showing activity and drive that has been outstanding of any member inside the club. Participating in a total of five competitions helping maintain the steady level of activity expected from someone of her rank. Sandrin continues to impress, though still new to the club she has a passion for knowledge and continues to show this on a day to day basis. She has worked hard inside of the Shadow Academy managing to take a total of twelve exams, including the ACC exams seeing her qualify inside of the ACC with an approved Character Sheet. Sandin is always after work, even when waiting she constantly hits members up inside of IRC and talking with them keeping activity up and making new friends within Clan Naga Sadow.

For all of her hard work and effort she has managed to achieve the rank of Guardian. Congratulations on all of your hard work and effort so far Sandrin. Keep up the hard work and I look forward to seeing you continue on the path to Knighthood in the future. Drinks are on you tonight!

It is with great honour that I hereby write my recommendation for Tellos Sapredon to be promoted to the rank of Guardian.

Tellos has shown himself to be an active and valued member of Shar Dakhan. During his tenure, he has designed himself a character sheet that has been approved and can now be seen on his dossier. Additionally, he continues to be an active voice heard in the various forms of Brotherhood media, from IRC to the Voice server, as well as actively participating in mobile-based group chats. He has continued to thrive, showing his thirst for knowledge by achieving rank 2 in the Shadow Academy and amassing more than the required 20 Clusters of Fire. More notably, Tellos has made his presence felt Clan-wide by participating in over 5 competitions, most notably participating in the recent Proving Ground event hosted by Naga Sadow leadership.

As of today, Tellos has done more than simply meet the "by the numbers" requirements, including time served, to earn this promotion. Tellos has demonstrated a drive and determination to make his presence known, and embodies all we hope to see in our Journeyman.

Congratulations Tellos, take your next step on the path to Knighthood.

Athrun has been a friendly flurry of activity since joining CSP, proactive in starting up chats with clan members and working on improving his gaming skills since he has been on irc clan channel almost every day.

Since his last promotion, he has done more, in less time, than required, showing his interest and dedication. In gaming, he's earned 112 CoF's (178 total) with only 2 platforms he can play, rising to GMRG rank III. He's participated in 8 competitions since becoming JH, earning 5 crescents from it. He recommended some flash games to me, co-organizing our first recurring CSP Flash competition. He has a basic wiki page and character sheet, which I am sure he will continue to update as he rises in rank.

Congratulations. I look forward to your completion toward DJK.

By accident, Rayna was demoted one too many ranks for her CoJ conviction. Jac did it. Sorry. Need to promote her one rank.

Jac Cotelin, 2015-04-03 04:44:27 UTC

PRT Kryy Vitaan has been an extremely active member of the Apostles of Syn and Clan Plagueis over the past 49 days, well over the required 14 for promotion to Guardian. In that time, he has cleared twelve courses in the Shadow Academy, maintaining a 96.85% average and earning two Dark Pundit degrees in Essentials and Vendetta, as well as a Dark Maven degree in Lore studies. His efforts also elevated him to Rank II in the Shadow Academy!

Additionally, PRT Kryy Vitaan has participated in three competitions, participating in the Speed Sporcle #7 Challenge, the Revenge of the Meme event, and the It Was My First Day fiction competition, garnering a Cluster of Ice for his efforts. Not satisfied with only participating in competitions, Kryy co-organized a unique competition requiring members of the Brotherhood to craft an English Sonnet focused on how members were dealing with the outcome of the Eleventh Great Jedi War.

Kryy is an active presence over the e-mail distribution list for the Clan and the Battle Team, and has a bright future in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

In view of these qualities and events and Kryy's demonstrated potential for increased responsibility, I strongly recommend him for promotion to the rank of Guardian.

Congrats on your promotion, Kryy. The sky is the limit for you, so keep pushing. I expect great things from you.
