House Tarentum requests a battlefield promotion for Saronyx. For the past four years she has been a permanent fixture amongst the Journeymen of Tarentum. While others have come and gone and dropped in and out of activity, Saronyx has always been with us. From one perspective she has not quite technically completed the requirements for Knighthood, but I submit that she has far exceeded them in her contributions to our House. She has participated in more than double the required number of competitions, and placed in more of those than the number required to simply participate in. She has helped lead her battle team, the Jen Kaari, as its Sergeant, and she has participated in every major event for the past four years including the Dark Crusade, GJW X, Horizons and others.

Like anyone her activity has ebbed and flowed over the years, and the last few requirements have proven difficult for her to balance against her full time job, full time school, and some difficult personal issues. Combined with the general state of Tarentum at the moment, it is all the more important to me that we recognize the importance of her efforts and contributions during the entirety of the Dark Crusade.

Reaching the rank of Dark Jedi Knight has been a long road for Saronyx. I am not her first Master, but I am pleased to have the distinction to be the last, and for the best of reasons. She has been an attentive student, eager and willing to learn, and I couldn't have asked for more from her.

I have watched her grow, from a barely active roster-spot holder during my days as Tarentum Aedile, to blossom into one of the paragons of activity that we enjoy today in our rebuilding House. Saronyx's efforts throughout the entirety of the Dark Crusade was nothing short of stellar; she didn't always place, but she always put in the effort. And, on top of that, she was constantly communicating with her Housemates, doing her part to keep them engaged and interested, earning her keep as the Baroness of the Ale Pond. She also took on the duties as the XO of the Jen Kaari Battleteam, getting her feet wet in the realm of leadership.

In taking a glance at her Promotheus report, she is only a few requirements short of having this promotion in the bag. Of the requirements she has completed, she has far surpassed the mark, some by a large margin. All these feats, during the turbulent times that the Crusade presented to all of us, she managed to do while holding down a job and attending school. Now that's something that I know I wouldn't be able to do, and I feel that alone is worthy of accolade and reward.

There is little more that I could teach Saroynx. As her Master, I feel that she is ready to take on the mantle of a Dark Knight, and fully join the ranks of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. It would be of the greatest personal reward to be able to bestow such an honor upon Saronyx.

Dark Jedi Knight, the cornerstone of Dark Jedi Brotherhood. It's at this rank where many in the DB find their purpose for the club at large. They go from mindlessly pumping through competitions, fiction/gaming, and superficial requirements to zeroing in on what they truly enjoy in the club. Saronyx, I think, has already figured this out. I think one day we will see her earning recognition for her work on the biggest and best thing to hit the DB ever, I think she will be there not just as a member but one of the people at the forefront of Tarentum's transformation, and I believe she will continue on from this promotion to earn all what the DJB has to offer; but none of this will be because of personal ambitions. It will be because she enjoys the club for what it is and her purpose will be that team leader or member that reigns people in to focus on their best. This won't be because she wants them to see the best in their selves...no, it will be because she reminded them that they owe their friends their very best.

I've heard many adjectives to describe Saronyx; caring, friendly, personable, bubbly, etc. It all seems to reflect the primary purpose we are all here for, and that is to enjoy in each others' company and make friendships. It's therefore not hard to like Saronyx, and equally not hard to see why she's one of Tarentum's cornerstones already as a journeyman. She's there to welcome others, inviting and engaging on IRC to anyone, she makes our House a better place just doing what she loves and I think that in itself in something to reward. Yet, there is many things to point to as merit for her promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. For the last six months she has placed in over 16 different competitions outside of the Dark Crusades. She has earned herself a merit award for her contributions to the house. She has earned four LSs for her participation in trivia. She has helped out with developing the wiki for Tarentum. She has ran her own competition. And she participated in eight of the competitions over the course of the last four chapters, taking it personally she couldn't do more in her busy school schedule and apologized to the summit for not doing more - believe me, its quite alright! :)

Saronyx is here more for her friends it seems then anything else, and as a thankful for that friendship and the merits it provides Tarentum in the form of trials completion and Crusades participation; I would hereby like to request she be promoted to Dark Jedi Knight. Congrats!

I'm proud to recommend Rrogon Skar be promoted to the rank of Guardian immediately. He has been working in stride towards Guardian completing the following requirements: No less than 28 days at the rank of Protector, participated in 5 competitions including, but not limited to: Sentence Run-On, Mass Effect 3, Crusadeology, Advertising Campaign, and Ziost - Gaming Event.

He has also earned no less than 40 Clusters of Fire, has an approved character sheet, has worked on his character history, and his co-organized his own competition. For his diligence as one of Qel-Droma's Protectors and hard work he has more than earned this promotion.

I would like to request the immediate promotion of Predator to the rank of Acolyte, a true mark of his desire to learn about the Dark Side. Since his entry to House Tarentum, Predator as torn through the Journeymen Hall courses completing all of them and earning himself two pundits. Additionally, he has completed the DB Basics course, learning about our organization before he then took the initiative of responding on the house mailing list and introducing himself to his new housemates. I sense great potential in Predator, and I would therefore like to rise him to Acolyte and also thank him for doing so well, so quickly. Congrats.
