To whom it may concern: Jedi Hunter Delak Krennel is now ready to take that great step forward into Knighthood. To say he has been a major active force here in Scholae Palatinae would be an understatement. Upon his return to the club he dove head first into the realms of activity be it runons, competitions, or gaming. He has also taken great efforts with his character development (pulling in from his long history in the EH), and completed an over 1500 word fiction. Along side with a very active IRC presence he has been an outstanding example to the other members of Scholae Palatinae.

To date, he has participated in 15 different competitions ranging from House run events like the Looking Home Campaign, to DJB wide ones like Gorefest. As of now, these efforts have netted him an Amethyst and an Emerald Crescent. He has taken Leadership Reports, Leadership Studies and Leadership Fundamentals as part of his continuing efforts in being a fantastic example to the rest of the house.

Even more impressive is his continuing gaming efforts which has earned him over 460 Clusters of Fire. For the last several weeks, Delak has been by far our most active gamer. This gaming has also netted him 4 Pendants of Blood, which is quite the accomplishment. This has all jumped him up to GMRG Society rank V! This is a great accomplishment for someone who isn't even yet a knight. All of his great efforts both now and before he had his dossier restored, have earned him 4 Dark Crosses.

Delak has wasted no time with getting himself to DJK. As his time in rank requirement came to an end he was able to finish everything, not wasting a second to be ready for promotion. DJK is an incredibly exciting and important time for a member, and Delak has more than earned his Knighthood. Getting to know him and work with him and his quick integration to the club has been a great honor. Congratulations Delak! I know there are a many great things awaiting here for you as you continue your DJB career! Drinks are on you!

I heard about a friend of Dante's who had joined the House, and by the time I got the chance to meet him, it's like he had always been around. Part of this may come from his long history that stretches back to a career in the Hammer's Fist, and he was quickly comfortable with the community and what was going on around him. He has quickly developed a detailed character history and contributed to the House, found his way into gaming and contributed there in a strong way, and still strives to learn more by tackling the Shadow Academy.

I am very excited to be recommending Delak Krennel for Dark Jedi Knight, a rank more fitting of his experience and contributions to Scholae Palatinae. Congratulations my friend, I look forward to all your awesome contributions to the Empire and enjoying our time writing and developing our characters together. For the Empire!

Lord Nevan Taelyan, 2014-09-11 06:08:00 UTC

When he hit me up via email a few months ago, I figured that he was just saying hi as many of the older members from the Pre-Exodus period do from time to time. If he did join, I didn't think that he would stick with it for too long. I'm glad that I was wrong.

Since his return to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood from the far reaches of space (also known as RL), Delak has become an excellent member of Scholae Palatinae. From his diverse gaming activities (Clusters of Fires & Pendants of Blood for JA, Pazaak, SC2, and D3) to his fiction (numerous fiction competition entries plus two long character development pieces), Delak has been a constant source of activity over the past few months. He has been on by almost every day, and he has excellent communications via email on the house email group. Delak has taken on a leadership role as my Sergeant for Battle Team Dorimad Sol as we restarted my old House unit from scratch.

I am pleased to write this recommendation for the man who got me to rejoin the Dark Brotherhood back in 2002 after a long hiatus. Hopefully, it will be the first of many to come over the next few years. Congrats!

It has been a real treat watching Zoron continue to grow and further himself in the club since achieving Knighthood. He has continued his torrid pace of activity since his promotion, managing to participate in nearly 50 competitions during that time and earning himself 30 Crescents in the process. He has also earned himself 259 Clusters of Fire, 19 Clusters of Ice and a Pendant of Blood. At the same time he has also run 4 competitions, all of them DB-wide. All of this activity has earned him 2 Steel Crosses and 2 Anteian Crosses.

However, on top of just his activity, Zoron has also come into his role as a leader in Taldryan. He has always been active in terms of communication, both over e-mail and IRC, but he has truly stepped up his game since becoming the leader of the Wardens BT. As Battleteam Leader, Zoron is constantly in contact with his members, e-mailing them directly to see how they are doing as well as offering those below the rank of DJK ways in which they may be promoted. He has posted a handful of BT-specific reports during this period of time as well.

Zoron, overall, is a great member of this Clan, and I am proud to have him with us. He is always willing to do whatever he can to help, and is always leading from the front. I'm ecstatic to see him becoming an Equite, and look forward to seeing him churn through the ranks.

Congratulations, Zoron!

Lord Halcyon, 2014-09-11 00:06:08 UTC

Ah, young Zoron. It feels like only yesterday we were learning about you. Now, you're one of Taldryan's most dedicated and active members. In addition to the substantial list of accomplishments delineated by Halc, I figured I would add to that, and also mention some of Zoron's more intangible qualities/activities. First, Zoron has been a pretty active taker of Shadow Academy courses (and thus, earner of degrees), including 9 full Shadow Academy courses, a few journeymen hall courses, and ultimately, the Maven in combat, and the Tactics and Combat Savant.

Additionally, Zoron has started the long and sometimes painful journey towards becoming a player in a much larger game. He's begun to help the new Deputy Grand Master on projects as a magistrate. Now, don't get me wrong, this doesn't show past activity - this shows potential, and how Zoron can (and will) thrive once he's been given the opportunity. We can also see this from his more recent Taldryan activity. He is active on IRC, as well as on the Taldryan mailing lists (both the Clan and the house). He's also beginning to come into his own, and is able to guide the members of his battleteam into what they can and should be doing in regards to activity.

There is a bright future for Zoron in our Clan, and the Brotherhood as a whole - and I look forward to seeing what happens next. PS: Do all the things!

Howlader Taldrya, 2014-09-09 18:16:40 UTC

When I first joined the DB I didn’t really see much competition within my own ranks. But then Zoron showed up and decided to change that. It seemed like every competition I entered, Zoron was there to bump my placing down. His consistency to beat me was a big motivation for myself within the DB.

But Zorons work as Battleteam Leader of the Wardens is the most inspiring. The amount of effort he has put forth in the last month is incredible. Whether it’s gaming, competitions, or SA exams, Zoron does everything he can to lead from the front. And he doesn’t stop there. He’s constantly on IRC talking with his fellow clan members and getting them involved in the current events.

Zoron, or Kenath Archibald Mustafa William Eric Dieter Von Zoron XIV as he is known by his close friends, is a stellar example of what it means to be a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and Clan Taldryan. First of all, he's an excellent fetcher. I think of all the times that I have asked him to fetch me something, and by great Odin's beard, he comes back with it well over half the time. It's uncanny. Like he actually listens to what I ask, and then goes out and gets it. Brilliant.

Then, there're all the glowing remarks that his and my colleagues above have pointed out. I mean, look at those numbers. Look at the things, and all the stuff. The dude is a gold mine, and frankly Taldryan is just superbly lucky to have him.

In all seriousness though, Zoron has proven himself to be one of Taldryan's most reliable, active, and loyal members since rejoining the Brotherhood. Ever since he joined back up, we knew that Zoron would be ready to handle quite a load, and he hasn't disappointed. Without gilding the lily too much or rehashing what everyone else has said: Taldryan has come to depend on Zoron, and between his work ethic, his knowledge and willingness to expand his horizons for the good of the Clan, and the Brotherhood, I am extremely happy to see him promoted to the rank of Sith Warrior.

Congrats Kenath Archibald Mustafa William Eric Dieter Von Zoron XIV
