Lord Dacien Victae, 2014-11-18 04:16:27 UTC

It’s been almost a year in change since I had a talk with the Grand Master when looking over candidates for field promotions at the end of the Dark Crusade. First on that list was one of our most active members and leaders, Ernordeth. Most would have been content to sit on their laurels after receiving that honor, but Erno clearly had other plans to continue to rock the DB (not unlike a hurricane). Sadly, real life has a way of sucker-punching us, and as most know he unfortunately had to step down from leadership for a time.

Stepping down in April, it wasn’t long before Ernordeth returned, albeit slowly at first. Since July when he signed on to help Solari with the recruitment team, he has been making a strong showing of returning to prime form.

Despite not holding a leadership position, Ernordeth is a constant presence on IRC and for House Qel-Droma and Arcona, engaging with members on a daily basis and offering his services wherever needed. He is the type of member who can lead without a title, and inspire those around him to work harder for the sake of the team. Beyond that, Ernordeth has held down his position as Magistrate to the Fist for the past year. He received the first of his two Grand Cross’ for his efforts, but never let that slow him down or prevent him from keeping up with his duties of creating and running gaming events for the Brotherhood. He earned a second Grand Cross (count’em!) for his loyalty and service to Clan Arcona as a Quaestor and Leader, has now collected two Seals of Loyalty, and sports a wide spread of clusters and crescents to show for his continued activity since his last promotion. It’s also easy to forget that he earned a Steel Cross for serving with me as an inaugural judge for the ACC Beta--one of the key people early on who helped test the mechanics.

Ernor continues to assist with the Recruitment and Social media side of the club while keeping up with the day-to-day competitions, including a stellar 5/5 finish in Fading Light: Part 3.

When you’ve earned that many awards over the course of the year, and looking at everything else attached to his dossier of the last year, there really is only one thing left to be done. That is for him to take his career to the next level as an Equite 2. For all his accomplishments, this promotion is a bit overdue. Regardless, thank you for sticking with us even when things got rough for you in real life, Ernor. You’re the example for which any member of the Brotherhood should strive, and a spiritual leader for all of Arcona. Congratulations buddy, keep up the good work!

Consul of Clan Arcona

Legend Wally, 2014-11-17 04:57:51 UTC

Months ago, I awarded Ernordeth a Grand Cross for his fantastic contributions to the Fist Staff over the course of his first eight months. I knew it wouldn't be long before there would be another recommendation in the works for the hard charging Sith Warrior, and I'm glad to be adding my voice to it today.

When it comes to energetic staffers it’s hard to top Ernor. He not only attacks projects that I've asked him to work on, but comes up with ideas on ways to improve Gaming for members on the Club on his own. The recent Destiny poll all started as a brainchild of Ernor, and a few short minutes after I told him I loved the idea I had an email with a link to a poll complete with questions. That's what I love to see, ideas and then execution on them.

Since his last promotion Ernor's run at least eight monthly gaming events. We recently ran a Mobile Event which turned out to only be open to Android Users, Ernor jumped right at it and fired off a Apple App event to even the playing field. He's worked on two published Shadow Academy Courses which became part of the Gaming Journeyman Hall, and has returned asking for more courses to put together as well to benefit our Clubs gamers. Ernor took it upon himself to create the Destiny CF Tables, and then got to deal with my incessant questions about them. After we had all aligned on values and he had run more timed missions than he is probably willing to admit Ernor went on to set the tables up by coding them for our Wiki and placing them into a Google Document for us to all access on launch day. This made the go-live for the system brilliantly simple, as it was just a matter of cut and paste into our wiki for the pages that had been noted in the prepared Google Doc.

Ernor's activities span the breadth of the Club, and his attitude is fantastic. I'm happy to have him as a Magistrate on the Fist Staff and I'm even happier to be able to add my support to his promotion to Sith Battlemaster.

Congratulations Ernordeth! Keep up the good work!

- Fist of the Brotherhood

Valhavoc Ad Vizsla, 2014-11-17 04:57:04 UTC

I remember stumbling into this club in mid-December without really understanding what I was getting into, and if I'm honest, I initially believed I'd only be around a week or so. The first handful of prominent and helpful members in Arcona that I came across as I plugged through the Journeyman ranks changed that, and Ernordeth was one of the biggest names in that group.

Admittedly, the only thing I really have place to offer is my thoughts regarding his personal relations to new members as opposed to his larger contributions, but we all know that every level of interaction is important.

Any time I'd find my way onto IRC and embraced the madness that ensued, you could be sure that Ernordeth was in it and helping to welcome anyone that wasn't yet recognized. Whenever I'd inevitably bring up the subject of CS (or, God help you, the finer points of lightsabers) Ernor was in on the discussion, and it wasn't uncommon to have another window open just for him when he decided to humor my favored topics more personally. He was definitely strong leadership for HQD, and well known and loved.

So I suppose it's no surprise that his accident came as a nasty shock to the whole of Arcona, and his return well received. As to be expected, our favorite Sith is already back with a vengeance, taking charge in various ways and places. He sets up competitions with ease, and is a beacon of activity, two things I admire a great deal.

He's even found a new home in my ramshackle Battleteam, and enjoys the fictional company of a Magnaguard. I'm glad to have a mentor so close at hand, and I know as well as anyone that he's deserving of the distinction of rising further in the Equite ranks. I've talked his ear off about custom sabers on many occasions, and I for one am itching to see what he'll do with the one he's earned several times over.

Enjoy it Ernor, and keep on rising, it's fun to watch!

Adem Bol'era, 2014-11-15 18:44:58 UTC

Ernordeth came to Arcona as a much-heralded leader who had re-energized Tarentum's Summit, and I had high hopes that he would be able to do the same in Qel-Droma. He didn't disappoint. Ernor has been a constant presence in Arcona, a friendly and always helpful individual that perfectly fits the type of culture that we pride ourselves on.

He's one of the most versatile leaders I've seen in my career, having done extraordinary work at the Quaestor level and assisting other leaders at every level beneath it. He's the kind of utility player that you can always rely on, who has had his fingers on every major project that we've completed in the past nine months. In short, he's every Summit's dream -- a flexible, selfless contributor in all arenas.

Congratulations, Ernor -- the future's bright.

Proconsul of Clan Arcona

Legorii Arconae, 2014-11-15 18:45:21 UTC

There’s a buzzword that gets thrown around when discussing Equite promotions, impact, whether or not a member has made a lasting impact in their unit and the Brotherhood. A cursory glance at Ernodeth’s dossier or a quick chat with anyone in Arcona will show you that Erno has certainly made a positive impact, not just on Qel-Droma or Arcona but the Brotherhood as a whole. He already demonstrates the values and work ethic of an Elder and I can think of few members more deserving of an elevation within the Equite ranks.

As an avid gamer, I saw Erno’s touch long before coming to Arcona as he had a hand in organizing almost every FIST event. His quiet work behind the scenes approving or providing feedback on untold numbers of activity submissions with lighting speed has spoiled the gaming community, we’ve gotten accustomed to his almost inhuman dedication. That’s just what I was able to see, Erno is the type of member who quietly and steadfastly labors on projects behind the scenes without fanfare or complaining.

One of the first things I noticed coming to the Qel-Droma summit from outside the Clan was Erno’s presence in the House. Not content to sit back and just be a House member, he continues to lead from the front and rally the troops. He led the charge in Fading Light: Nicht Ka, participating in 5/5 events and encouraging others to do the same. He bleeds Qel-Droma and his love for the house is infectious. Whenever we do something he’s our biggest cheerleader, often the first to comment or reply to reports or communication. He demonstrates the rare ability to lead while providing 100% support to the to sitting summit. I wish I could clone him. Any unit would be lucky to have the presence and dedication of a member like Erno.

On behalf of all Qel-Dromans past, present and future, thank you Erno for everything you do and congratulations on Sith Battlemaster. You embody what it means to be an Equite.

Councillor Turel Sorenn, 2014-11-15 18:46:04 UTC

Ernor came to Qel-Droma as a new face, a fresh leader to give Qel-Droma new voice from someone with a different viewpoint. His ideas and actions not only invigorated Qel-Droma, but have had a lasting impact to this day. He reached out to members, made them feel part of the decision making process and ensured all decisions were for their good, and to shape the club in a way that benefitted them. I had the honour to work with Ernor as his Aedile. He taught me how to be an approachable leader that worked for their members, ensuring they were engaged, rewarded for service, and enjoyed their time here. The impact he made, and still makes today, even out of his summit role, is monumental, and cannot be ignored.

Ernor has always made sure to be a role model, leading from the front as Quaestor, and being a shining example, a pillar of activity, when a member of the House. He’s one of our most prolific members in terms of the Dark Crusade and Fading light, ensuring Arcona acquitted itself well in the events. Not content to live for Crusades,Ernor is a strong presence in communicating with members, happy and eager to help his fellow Brotherhood members.

All of this while also working for the FIST to bring out a stream of regular competitions that grab members and are enjoyed by all who participate. This kind of work is the lifeblood of the brotherhood, a way to keep members engaged and wanting more, to come back and enjoy their time. Ernor can definitely say he had a hand in all of that.

He doesn’t go around parading his work, he lets it speak for itself, and it never fails to speak well. Congratulations, Ernor, not just from me, but from all of the members of the Brotherhood you have made an impact on.

Lord Dacien Victae, 2014-11-14 00:02:55 UTC

Crossing from Journeyman to Equite is a major milestone in a member’s career. It signifies the passage from rank and file to pillar of the community. Kooki embodies a level of dedication and selflessness beyond a Journeyman and she is without question a central pillar of our community. These are facts. Kooki is already an “equal” in all but name. Today it is time to make it official, Kookimarissia Mimosa-Inahj is an Equite.

Kooki’s record since Knighthood is impressive, she has never waived in her dedication to her clan and the Brotherhood, she can always be found leading from the front lines giving her full effort to any event and offering encouragement to her comrades. Since her last promotion Kooki has accumulated: a Steel Cross, a Antetian Cross, a Dark Cross, a Gold Nova, Twenty Four Crescents, Eighty Seven Clusters of Fire and Twenty Clusters of Ice. Additional she gave strong strong showings in Operation: Sojourn, Fading Light: Bosthidra, Operation: Figureheads and an exceptional showing in Fading Light: Nicht Ka with a gold nova and five out of five events.

Beyond her impressive dossier is the presence and impact of a member that is near and dear to the heart of Arcona. A presence which, was readily apparent to even a newer Arconan like myself. It is my distinct honor to endorse her promotion to Krath Priestess.

Congratulations Kooki! Welcome to the ranks of the Equites! This has been long overdue.

OT Turel Sorenn Aedile, House Qel-Droma

Councillor Turel Sorenn, 2014-11-12 16:54:42 UTC

Kookimarissia Mimosa-Inahj has been, for nearly the past year, an exceptional example of what our Journeymen should be. The Knight has been picking up awards left, right and center despite having a very busy real life schedule and raising her first child. I first met Kooki when I became XO of Dark Forge over in Galeres and, even then, she was a stalwart of activity.

Due to her husband becoming the Sergeant of Soulfire Strike Team, Kooki had to move somewhere. I quickly pounced on the opportunity to have such a person in my Battleteam. I mean, who wouldn’t? She’s eager to participate where she can, puts in 110% in everything she does and is always willing to lend a hand. Kooki is a very common presence throughout IRC, especially during the late-night hours. In the recent Vendetta, the third installment of Fading Light, Kooki put in full participation, which is no mean feat. There were many who didn’t achieve this, despite having three weeks to do so. Her graphics alone were exceptional and the hours she put into the entry are clearly visible. And that’s not even going into the puzzle which made no sense to me whatsoever. But she figured it out and won a Gold Nova out of it!

It wasn’t until after we recommended her to receive a Steel Cross that we realized just how long Kooki had been a Dark Jedi Knight. We then decided to put off this request until the completion of Fading Light III, and did it ever pay off. For her efforts and distinguished service, I hereby recommend Kookimarissia Mimosa-Inahj be promoted to the rank of Equite I.

Congratulations, Kooki! You’ve shown you deserve this. Welcome to the Equites! :)

Arcona Invicta!

~ OP Celevon Edraven Commander of Battleteam Arête

Adept Celevon Werd'a, 2014-11-11 22:39:27 UTC

A lot of people will overlook Kooki as the tired, but always enthusiastic member who comes on at odd hours of the night when she is able to take a short break from being a full-time mommy. They forget that despite that, she is still one of the most active members of Clan Arcona on a day-to-day basis. She is always competing in competitions that pop up, and has maintained a consistent drive and dedication to Arcona over the course of the past year since making DJK. It has been a slower path than some, and while she hasn’t tackled any leadership roles, her smile and enthusiasm are contagious and her energy keeps others around her motivated and driving. She’s slowly gathered up her escalades of awards based on her performance in Arcona Operations, and everytime I see an entry from her I smile. It’s hard to believe it’s almost been a year, but time flies when you’re having fun. And Kooki is all about fun, and sharing it with others.

So, congratulations, Kooki, on yet another promotion. Your path is different than most, but it’s yours and you rock it like no one else can. Keep up the great work ;).

Consul of Clan Arcona

Legend Wally, 2014-11-11 22:45:01 UTC

Kooki is a breath of fresh air in the Brotherhood, and particularly in Arcona. She’s not the traditional member, and with as much time as she spends taking care of her son (at all hours of the day!), it’s a wonder she’s able to contribute so significantly to Arcona. And yet, she does.

She’s always a cheerful presence on IRC, ducking in when she can to check in and chat with friends. She makes the most of all that Arcona has to offer when we’re not swept up in a vendetta, and when we are, she becomes fiercely competitive. Recently, she earned a Gold Nova in FL3. Wow. If someone had told me when Kooki first joined that this doting, compassionate young mother would be taking one of the club’s top prizes in a vendetta, I would have had a hard time believing it.

But now, it’s so seemingly mundane as to pass beneath the radar. Nobody’s surprised, it’s just the way Kooki rolls. She’s an invaluable member of our team for so many reasons, and she’s awesome to have around. Her unbroken, unceasing activity and devotion to Arcona are more than enough to earn her this promotion to the Equite ranks.

Congratulations, Amy. I could not be more proud!

KPN Legorii Proconsul of Arcona

Legorii Arconae, 2014-11-11 22:42:04 UTC

There’s few things that make you more emotional than seeing people you care for grow up, especially those you look over. I’ll be choking back tears by the end of this. But this isn’t about me--it’s about the amazing young woman I had the privilege to mentor.

Amy is an incredible person. She is kind, dedicated, and heartfelt. She treats everyone around her with the same friendliness and care, almost like a mother figure--small surprise, that, considering she manages to be such an active member despite raising her darling fifteen-month old, seemingly at all hours, most of them late at night. By some stretch of inhuman stamina and determination, the tribulations in most of her life never keep her from this small piece of it: the Brotherhood, her Clan, her friends. She’s always online being cheery, she’s always active and giving people a run for their money, she’s always out there trying and winning...to put it plainly, Amy is one of the most devoted people I’ve ever known, not just as a member but also as a mother, and she is an irreplaceable treasure to this organization.

My rambles will only turn into sugar and gumdrops if I go on, so let me conclude shortly with this: Amy, I am so proud to have had you for a student. It is a great gift and honor, and I’m so happy to see you join us in the Equites. Congratulations! You’ve earned it!

Master of this awesome lady

Golden Envoy Abbey Atty Attiter Ann, 2014-11-11 22:53:11 UTC

Kooki only joined Qel-Droma recently, but has quickly integrated into the House and made her presence felt. She’s been a powerhouse, active and always enthusiastic. It seems every day I have an email about her entering a competition. Kooki isn't simply a body in participation numbers, either. She's managed to rack up an impressive run of awards, most recently a Gold Nova after completing all events in Fading Light 3, no small feat. She has always been one of the most active members in every event run by the Clan as well, placing very highly in the joint Operation: Figureheads event. All in all, Kooki is an active, competent, and approachable person, a shining light in Arcona.

Even though she was in Galeres for the majority of her time in Arcona, she has been an exemplar of our 'One Clan' philosophy. She's been a presence on IRC whenever she can grab time away from being a full time parent, forging relationships with other members to become a friend to all. Kooki is truly a member of Arcona with an impact that can't be ignored.

Congratulations, Kooki. You deserve it.

Nikola Valtiere Erinos, 2014-11-12 10:54:42 UTC

I am honoured to be promoting Saskia to the rank of Equite Three. She has been a hard working and driven part of this club since joining seven years ago. She has been an active and dedicated part of Clan Arcona and House Galeres Working hard to not only improve the House but the Brotherhood as a whole she is a driven and motivated person who gives everything to any task that she undertakes.

Since her last elevation she has been active in multiple role, competing in competitions and making sure that she is an active member of Soulfire. She has already managed to participate in 10 competitions, from a mix of Fading Light to day to day competitions. Earning herself Two Crescents with Sapphire Star, One Crescent with Emerald Star, Two Crescents with Topaz Star. Saskia never keeps herself to one area of the brotherhood tho, she always tries to branch out, this can be also seen with her gaming she has racked up a very impressive Ninety Clusters of Fire. While still keeping her focus on the writing aspect of the Brotherhood, this has seen her achieve five Clusters of Ice. Saskia has been once active part of the Brotherhood over the years, she has continued to get involved in everything since her last promotion. For all of her efforts in events she managed to take one Seal of Reminiscence, Two Seals of Decimation and Three Seals of the Crusader.

Saskia keeps working inside of different positions inside the Brotherhood spending time in multiple roles. Since her last promotion she has been a ACC Operator for a total of Sixteen Months, during this time she was required to mark countless ACC Battles that members took part in, spending hours making sure that they were judged fairly and in accordance to the grading rubric set by the Combat Master. During this time she would have opened multiple matches, started fights, set the scene and put all of her effort to let members of the Brotherhood experience the Combat Centre. Saskia has also been a ACC Judge for a total of Three Months, learning the ropes and getting her time in to experience the role that she was expected to fulfill.

As well as her service to the ACC and the Brotherhood, she has also served in a variety of House Positions. She stood as House Galeres Rollmaster for a total of a Month, helping new members to the club understand what was expected of them when they joined the club. Holding their hands and helping them find a Master that suited them, she made sure that all of the Journeymen were happy inside of the Clan. And for her most recent time she has spent the last Eight Months as a Battleteam Sergeant for various teams. In this her role was to support the current Battleteam Leader in all of their duties, keeping a constant contact point for members and making sure that any tasks regardless of how small or big there were are completed to the fullest extent. She continues to fulfill these duties expected of her and continues to keep pushing herself hard in positions.

For all of her hard work she has managed to rack up an impressive amount of medals including One Sapphire Blade, One Steel Cross, One Anteian Cross and Two Dark Crosses. Under normal circumstances these are impressive enough. Continuing to expand her horizon Saskia makes sure that she is always giving everything to the members under her. Knowing that they are having fun is all that she drives for, never once expecting anything for herself or wanting anything. Making her one of the rare members of the Brotherhood, and an outstanding part of the House. Meanwhile she continues to push herself harder, studying inside of the Shadow Academy. Earning herself an impressive Seven exam passes since her last promotion.

For all of her constant hard work, devotion and drive for this club today we see her Elevated to the Rank of Equite Three. Congratulations Saskia keep up the hard work and keep pushing yourself further. I look forward to seeing what you do in the future for this Club and for the House.

Cethgus, Quaestor of Galeres

Zanet Xox, 2014-11-12 04:37:33 UTC

Since her last award, Saskia has taken part in the Fading Light ACC event, getting as far as the 3rd round, taken part in the DB-wide Pazaak Tournament. She also took part in the Gaming portion of the Arcona-wide event Operation: Figurehead, as well as the gaming and puzzle of Fading Light III. All the gaming activity also led her to achieve GMRG rank III.

She has also spent the last 2 months as my Battleteam Sergeant, a role in which she has assisted with writing reports and motivating members, most notably by creating the ‘Soulfire Profile’ competition.

However, her crowning achievement has been to do the vast majority of the work pertaining to the re-write of the Soulfire Wiki, where she virtually single-handedly modernised the page to reflect Soulfire’s current membership.

Congratulations, Krissi. You’re just one behind me now. ;)

, 2014-11-12 04:34:33 UTC

Saskia is a true veteran, one of Arcona’s savviest members and a constant source of mid-level Equite leadership. It’s too easy for her efforts to be taken for granted, but to do so would be to do her a serious disservice. This has been a long time coming for her, and it’s the result of sustained awesomeness across a wide range of Brotherhood responsibilities.

I can’t speak to Saskia’s work in the ACC other than to say that I know she works hard and takes her job very seriously. I can, however, speak to her impact in Arcona. She’s always stepping up to the plate, always volunteering, always mentoring, and always participating. Recently, I was looking for someone to cover some gaps in Arcona’s history. Usually, I look to our Journeymen for those kinds of projects, but in this case, I needed someone familiar with the last few years of Arconan history. Saskia stepped up to the plate in a big way, writing a few sections for me and offering to do more.

Saskia’s held tons of leadership positions in Arcona, but the truth is, she doesn’t need any official title on her dossier to make an impact. Right now, she’s working hand-in-hand with Andrelious in Soulfire, and he’s been raving about the work she’s doing. She’s a helpful presence in #arcona, and an active source of motivation and encouragement in vendettas. She’s mentored quite a few of our younger members as one of the essential pieces of the Clan’s retention system.

Congratulations, Krissi. You’ve earned this promotion, and Arcona thanks you!

Legorii Arconae, 2014-11-12 04:34:59 UTC

Krissi is a special kind of member that doesn’t fit into any one of our usual “categories” or “archetypes” we have in the DB. She is a leader without being in a position, a mentor, a friend, and a general positive attitude towards her peers. Her activity list speaks for itself, so instead I will simply lend merit to her ability to work with others and drive them to succeed. She is active on IRC and helps keep our community strong by engaging in discussions with not just the veterans, but the newer members as well--no doubt retained from her time as helping the Clan as a former Rollmaster. Since returning to Arcona after her sojourn, she has been active force, competing in everything she could get her hands on. She is an important part of Clan Arcona, and has recently taken to helping Andrelious maintain a high-activity Battleteam in Soulfire Strike Team.

Keep up the good work, and congrats, Krissi!

Legend Wally, 2014-11-12 04:35:15 UTC

Lucyeth is the kind of member we always hope to find. He joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, latched on and has rocketed forward as an incredible member, leader, and friend. A lot of members find the post DJK life to be difficult, without the guidelines of the more formal promotion requirements, but that was not something that tripped Lucyeth up. He had already sunk his claws into the club and wasn’t going to be thrown off. In his nine months as a DJK, Lucyeth continues to amazing and leads as an amazing example to everyone. He has served 4 months as a Battle team Leader, taking it seriously in providing constant communication, participation opportunities, and showing everyone on his team how to be a stellar member. This included organizing a multi-competition battle team event following one of our recent House events. It even included an opening fiction, and scoring system. This has led to him to run 8 different competitions. He has earned both a Steel Cross and a Dark Cross for various activities, including helping in the ACC Beta. He has participated in a whooping 96 competitions over the last month, and is frequently a placer in DJB wide competitions as well. He has earned some 26 different crescents for this work. He has also collected 30 Clusters of Ice, and 40 Clusters of Fire. He has also earned two Dark Savants! Basically, Lucyeth has demonstrated an insanely dedicated work ethic and remains a member that I know will deliver constant good efforts whenever there is a chance to. Where many members peter out, Lucyeth has double downed. If there is any member who has ever earned a promotion to EQ1, it is Lucyeth. Congratulations Lucyeth, Drinks are on you!

Lord Idris Adenn, 2014-11-12 04:26:59 UTC

It has been great to see all the hard work the Lucyeth puts into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and continues to do so since his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight nearly 9 months ago. He has participated in 96, and placed in 26 of them, an outstanding amount of accomplishments for a member at any level. Since showing an interest and taking on a leadership role as BTL of Acclivis Draco, he now has brought that same great energy and dedication to the summit and engaged in some great discussions on how and when to run different unit wide competitions. The competitions he has run and the fictional identity he has created for his team, including bringing them to 1st place in a 3 way head to head competition with the other teams, show he leads from the front and is already working at the level of the Equites, so it’s time he joins the ranks. Congratulations on Sith Warrior Lucyeth, you have more than earned it.

Lord Evio Nezsa, 2014-11-12 04:25:42 UTC

One of the unwritten expectations of potential Equites is that they begin to give back to the club. Four months ago, Lucyeth was given leadership of Acclivis Draco where he quickly stepped up to display his lead-by-example style. Communication with his team is absolutely first rate, and coupled with the competition opportunities and encouragement he offers, it's no surprise that he led them to victory against the other battle teams in a recent series of competitions. Furthermore he has worked with his team to craft a strong fictional identity for Acclivis Draco taking into account both member feedback and the fictional path laid out for the House by the Summit.

Between his work as a leader, Lucyeth has also found time to develop himself on a personal level. He has participated in a staggering 96 competitions, placing in 26 and earning crescents for his efforts as well as 30 and 40 clusters of ice and fire respectively. Lucyeth has also earned two merit medals: a Steel Cross for his stellar leadership, and a Dark Cross for helping to refine the ACC as a beta tester. His activity in the Shadow Academy has also earned him two Dark Savants in History and Lore, and Writing and Philosophy.

Lucyeth has more than shown he has the discipline and tenacity of an Equite, and it is only right that his rank reflect this. It has been an absolute joy to watch him go from strength to strength in the DB, and reaching the Equite ranks is just the latest achievement of what I'm certain will be many to come. Congratulations Lucyeth, you've more than earned this promotion to Sith Warrior.

Lucyeth is a model member of this organization and embodies the best traits that the club has to offer. He is a selfless leader of Battleteam Acclivis Draco. As his Sergeant, Lucyeth is always pressing forward with new plans and ideas and striving for the best possible environment for the personnel under his care. This is evident in the output of competitions he has run, his timely reports, inclusion of ideas and personalities for a truly dynamic unit that he mentors. As a prior mentee of Lucyeth, I can say firsthand I would not be where I am today with him. Many others would attest the same facts for their careers. Lucyeth is one of the rare personalities that changes and enhances everyone he comes in contact with. Beyond what he gives to the club, Lucyeth is a performer. He has taken part in over 90 competitions and was awarded for nearly 30 of them. He holds two advanced Dark Savant degrees and merit awards to his credit. Here is a man that leads by example and also puts up the numbers.

Lucyeth is one of the most shining members of House Scholae Palatinae. Since he accomplished the Trials of Knighthood, he has proven himself to be as excellent members as we could only hope for. He has participated in numerous competitions, earning multiple Crescents and Clusters of Ice. He has also earned several Dark Side Mavens and a Dark Side Savant. He has maintained high level of activity for around nine months since last promotion and has been one of the most active members of our House. Apart from typical activity, Lucyeth has shown strong dedication to the Battle Team and House in other areas of their functioning. He has taken up actions to provide greater depth to the fictional background and the identity of Acclivis Draco. His merits in all these areas are more than required to allow Lucyeth join the honorable group of Equites of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. However, it is clearly visible to me that Lucyeth is also a mature and friendly person, who is dedicated to our club. He is definitely ready to become a Sith Warrior. Congratulations!
