Since his last promotion on 8/25/14, Armad has, to my mind as his Master, completed the work needed to become a Knight. He has earned 3 Crescents, and 10 Clusters of Fire. He completed 4 SA courses, among them the Leadership ones which I encouraged him to do as part of his trials. He reached out to the Fist with an idea for a DB-wide SW Assault Team and Commander gaming idea, which is still under discussion. He has also reached out to me with an "End of Tomorrow" style RPG idea. He has participated in twice the number of competitions needed for his promotion (33), and has seven times more competition medals than are needed. He also co-organized two competitions, and posted in our last runon. He has accepted the service work task of tallying the posts and post count in our current runon when it completes in one week. Armad is worthy of Knighthood. -Proconsul Macron Goura Sadow

Another has risen from our ranks to build his own lightsaber. So far Armad has been the active member we hope to see much more of. Actively doing his trials and even competing in competitions.

He's earned three different crescents since being promoted. And has been extremely helpful in participating in ROs. Even helping tallying the large number of posts abs words.

With the completion of his tasks we have deemed him ready to wield his very own lightsaber and become a Knight of Sadow. Congratulations Armad. -QUA Shirai Dupar

Armad is a Jedi Hunter who has accomplished a lot at his rank. He has been dedicated and very active, participating in the Clan's Runons and other competitions. He is also outgoing and communicates well. His efforts have made him a valuable member of CNS.

To exemplify Armad's activity, he has participated in over thirty competitions since becoming a member of the club, many of them since attaining the rank of Jedi Hunter. During the time since his last promotion, he has also earned three Crescents and at least ten Clusters of Fire. He also has over two thousand words of fiction and a well-developed wiki article. Armad has gone far beyond the requirements of promotion at his rank, showing that he is dedicated and wants to be here.

Armad's activity does not stop there, though. On his way up the ranks, he earned a Dark Cross for volunteering for a project to help the Summit judge competitions. Furthermore, Armad reached out to the Fist's staff, offering ideas on competitions they could run and games that the club could use for them. He has also been a good communicator with his own Clanmates and the Naga Sadow Summit. This demonstrates that he is willing to help others have fun in addition to his own enjoyment, and this is a valuable trait to have in any member.

For these reasons, I would like to add my recommendation that Armad be promoted to Dark Jedi Knight and take up his own lightsaber. Congratulations, Armad!

Armad has been a hard worker. His activities have ranged from regular gaming to writing and to flash games and mobile games. He has participated in over thirty competitions and not only that but he has also managed to place in the top three in fifteen of them.

He has been an active participant in Naga Sadow’s run ons since he joined us as well as having been in constant contact with the Clan over mailing lists and with his Master, Macron.

In his time here he has also hosted two competitions, both of which received higher participation numbers then when I ran similar ones.

It is with pleasure that I can congratulate Armad on achieving Knighthood and on being able to replace his armory lightsaber with a proper one. Well done Armad!

Master Malik Sadow, 2014-09-27 15:34:59 UTC

Ever since Mandeo joined Naga Sadow a couple of weeks ago he has worked hard towards eventual Knighthood, today he has come one step closer.

He is often in contact with myself, his master and he is also working with the other members of Clan Naga Sadow in our current run on. He is a frequent sight on IRC and since joining us he has taken part in a handful of competitions, both Clan wide and Brotherhood wide.

With the dedication he has shown so far I have no doubt that he will be a Dark Jedi Knight soon, but for now I would like to congratulate him on being one step closer with this promotion to Guardian.

It is with great honor that I present to the Dark Council my recommendation for my Apprentice Daedric Turelles. Since his joining I knew he would be an excellent friend and member to this great clan.

He flew by the ranks I believe in record time with a determination I found extraordinary. Then he personally requested me to be his Master.

A great pleasure to mentor someone with such passion for a passionate club. He has completed every task I've set before him even ones not listed as a prerequisite.

Daedric had even taken it upon himself to improve the clan where we really needed it and that was our Warhost Army.

Not many are familiar with the military aspects and often can be confusing. But he brought everything together that was accurate to our armies description and made it ready to understand and use for future clan uses.

He also did most of the work for the Warhost Navy with an astounding document for both. And yes he completed the necessary tasks for Jedi Hunter ranging from making level 4 in the Shadow Academy and earning himself Savant!

He's sent over 4000+ words of fiction and his projects have earned him a Dark Cross and a Steel Cross. These tasks he accomplished well before his time requirement even with a hectic RL he did not let it deter him from his tasks.

I would say he accomplished his goals with every flying color imaginable. Congratulations my Apprentice. This proud Master will still guide you too further enlightenment. But beginning of you gaining true power has now begun. Welcome...Dark Jedi Knight of Sadow!

Shirai Dupar, 2014-09-23 21:59:41 UTC

Daedric Turelles has been a highly active journeyman and it is time once again to recognize him for his work. He has excelled at knocking out the static requirements for advancement to Dark Jedi Knight, but Daedric has also shown brightly in other areas. Beyond those requirements, he has taken the initiative to develop crisp, detailed, structured documents and wiki pages to improve the Clan's infrastructure and lore. He has also been very active, obtaining far more Crescents and Clusters than are required for advancement.

Daedric has also been very busy after obtaining the position of Black Guard and joining the Sadow Conclave. When Daedric first came to the Conclave with the idea to reform the Warhost army, I didn't know what to think. However, then I saw the document that he had prepared, which cleanly outlined his intentions for the army. It was not only well-worded, but also used charts and tables to convey the detail included in a clear manner. Considering that Daedric went into extreme detail, thinking of every facet of what he was proposing, the format helped a lot. It was a professional proposal, one that someone might expect to see from a member of the Dark Council or a businessman.

This detailed structure for our army - and later the one for our navy - provided the Clan with something we could use every day in our writing and gave us something we had not had previously. Then, most members would have stopped with the document and been like, "ok Summit, here you go, do whatever you want with it." But Daedric is not most members. As soon as the Summit signed off on his army proposal, Daedric put it on the wiki, giving it it's own extensive wiki article, effectively adding a new, informative, complete article to the Clan's set of wiki pages overnight. It's hard to describe how valuable Daedric's efforts have been to the Clan. Most of the time, things like this take days or even weeks, possibly longer as everyone tries to decide who is going to do what. Daedric just takes care of it!

In addition to the stuff above, Daedric continues to be very active as a regular member. He participates in Clan competitions frequently. He also posts in and helps coordinate our runons, which is great because Sadow loves runons and he seems to fit right into that. He has earned a lot more Crescents and both types of Clusters than is required for promotion, as well.

That also brings me to the last section: the mandatory requirements. Daedric has smashed these quickly. He has been in his current rank for 28 days. He has completed at least a 3000 word approved fiction. He has certainly assisted the Clan Summit with a project, indeed, he has taken the initiative to do one completely on his own and is leading the way on a second! He has also completed a quality wiki article, as his character article and the Warhost army articles show. He has three Shadow Academy degrees, including one Savant! He has several competition awards, including two Ruby Crescents, which is no easy task for a long-time member, much less an up and coming journeyman. He's further earned an Amethyst Crescent, three Emeralds, five Clusters of Fire, and two Clusters of Ice as of the writing of this recommendation.

For merit awards, Daedric has earned both a Dark Cross and Steel Cross. His Dark Cross represents that Daedric displayed a huge amount of activity soon after joining, while his Steel Cross continues to recognize Daedric for that effort, but also for his awesome work on the Warhost army.

Daedric has participated in twelve total competitions beyond the requirement of eight. He has also completed two courses from the Department of Leadership studies. Daedric has also reached Shadow Academy Rank V, completing a whopping 36 courses and earning three degrees, including the Savant of Writing and Philosophy.

All of these accomplishments - from his quick surpassing of the mandatory requirements to Daedric's amazing contributions to Clan lore - show that he is ready to take up his own lightsaber and become a Dark Jedi Knight. To me, Daedric has shown that he is ready to go far beyond that, but one must take a step at a time. Daedric, thank you for all your hard work and congratulations on this milestone promotion!

Epis Locke Sonjie, 2014-09-23 21:48:11 UTC

Since his last promotion on 8/25/14, Daedric Turelles has completed the requirements set out by the Brotherhood for Knighthood. He has participated admirably in several runons, and earned Clusters if Ice and Fire. Recently he earned a CrR in a Brotherhood-wide competition. He also earned two Maven and one Savant degree during this time. As well, he earned himself a place on the Clan's Black Guard.

What sets Daedric truly apart is his work ethic and can-do attitude. Daedric's idea was a complete revamp of our Warhost army. He took the matter upon himself and worked a long time to finish it, including seeking feedback from the Clan Summit. For this service work he earned himself a Steel Cross. He is currently working on a re-vamp of our Warhost navy along the same lines, and with the same amount of work involved. If he puts his hands on something, it gets done and done well.

He is one of those members you wish you had ten of, honestly. It's really heartwarming to see a relatively newer recruit work so hard and complete his trails with alacrity. His attitude is great, his activity levels high, and he inspires others to the same. I am honored and very pleased to add my name to the list of those who are recommending him for Knighthood. Congratulations, Knight!

Adept Macron Goura Sadow, 2014-09-23 21:52:52 UTC

It has been a pleasure seeing Daedric breeze through the journeyman ranks. From the moment he joined Naga Sadow he got involved in both the activities offered but also in the fictional background, and not long after that he added his own touch to our fictional identity with the Warhost Army wiki page.

Right after he joined he jumped into the runon we had going at the time and he took easily to the task, working extremely well with both his fellow journeymen but also with the equites and elders of the Clan.

Besides taking on Clan projects and posting in runons he’s also participated in competitions where he has placed in the top three in half of the competitions he entered, showing not only activity and dedication but also skill.

I am not 100% sure but I think Daedric is the person in Clan Naga Sadow who has attained Knighthood in the shortest amount of time, if not he’s still damn close and I would like to congratulate you on your new lightsaber Dark Jedi Knight Daedric Turelles!

Master Malik Sadow, 2014-09-23 21:55:11 UTC

Daedric has been a breath of fresh air since he joined. Not only has he risen through the ranks at a very rapid rate, but has done nothing but bring honor and glory to himself and this clan. It is a honor to work with him. Not only has he worked his tail off on his rank requirements but has voluntarily taken up tasks to better the clans fiction.

He has proven himself both a gentleman and a scholar in the djb. He even took up two projects with out being asked and even though i did help (about 10% of it) it would not have been possible with out him. Hey did majority of the work on the war host navy fiction version 1.0 and all the 2.0 and final write up and completion. He also earned a merit award for ALL the work on the war host army fiction. Not only will this man go far but he will earn trust and love from everyone he works with. Im proud to be his BTL and would be honored to see him recieve his light saber. Congrats brother, ill go to war with you any day.

Death comes fast so fight!
