In recent month, Icy has shown very high level of activity. We have seen him stretching towards learning more about various aspects of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, including passing GMRG History course, ACC Basics course and Obelisk Core, as well as completion of his Character Sheet.

In addition to this, Icy has organized one competition during HSP Summer Games - Achieve a Full Belly. During the Games, he has also participated in six events and placed three times, what has earned him Anteian Cross, his very first merit award. Total number of competitions, which he has participated in, is eight, excessing this requirement by three competitions.

The last, but not the least, Icy appeared on the HSP IRC channel and talked to us there. All these merits, including passing the time requirement to advance to a higher rank, convince me that Icy has made his next step to the Knighthood and truly earned the promotion to the rank of Guardian. Congratulations!

<p>I’m delighted to be recommending Kordath Bleu for his promotion to Jedi Hunter. He’s been a brilliant, dedicated, and hardworking member of both Arcona and Galeres in his time here, advancing quickly along the path the Dark Jedi Knight and developing as a member of the Brotherhood. He is an active presence and a friendly face among Arcona, and couldn’t be making his fellows prouder.</p>

<p>In the time since his last promotion, Kordath has been an incredible contributor, participating in the House’s Homecoming events as well as submitting to the Dark Crusade. He received an Anteien Cross, his first merit medal, for his efforts in Homecoming, and placed in several of the Homecoming competitions, earning several different Crescents for his outstanding work. Plus, aside from entering into ten different competitions, he also ran a trivia competition on IRC.</p>

<p>Furthermore, Kordath has not only been active in his participation, but also in the Brotherhood community. He is frequently on mIRC, talking, joking, and interacting with his fellow members and making good friends. He registered for the DJB Forum and has used it to contribute to the General Forces RO in the second phase of the Crusade. And while managing all of this, he has submitted an excellent five-page character fiction, per his promotion requirements. He has also written an additional six page fiction as part of his MAA task to skip the time requirement.</p>

<p>For his effort, dedication, amiability, and the fulfillment of the aforementioned requirements, I am humbled and honored to watch him take on the mantle of his next rank. Congratulations on reaching Jedi Hunter, and well-done, Kordath. I look forward to seeing you advance again very soon, my friend.</p>

Retden, watching your progress during the last couple weeks has been nothing but awesome. You have constantly logged into Taldryan’s IRC channel, passed the Leadership Studies Exam at the Shadow Academy, participated in two competitions and organized a competition of your own during the month of June.

Paired with the facts that you have participated in a total of fifteen competitions since you joined the Brotherhood, registered on the Message Boards and have been awarded a Dark Cross as well as it has been far beyond the needed 42 days in rank, I am hereby proudly recommending your promotion to the rank of Jedi Hunter, well done Retden, and of course well deserved!

~Obelisk Prelate Rian Aslar Quaestor of House Taldryan #10701

Retden, Your work over the past few months has been nothing short of impressive, and it fills me with great hope for the future of Taldryan. The strength of Taldryan has always been not in its elders, but in the equestrian and journeymen ranks. Your devotion to Taldryan is without a doubt, and though real life has slowed your progress some, the fact that you stick with both Taldryan and the Dark Brotherhood promises me that you’ll be a great and valued member for many years to come. It is with great pride that I hereby elevate you to the rank of Jedi Hunter.

It is my distinct honor and privilege to pronounce that Tycho Isod is ready for promotion. Since recently joining Arcona he immediately took the initiative to register on the Dark Jedi Brotherhood forums, which not only satisfied the necessary requirement for promotion but, more importantly, highlighted his undeniable resolve to be a active member of Clan Arcona. Congratulations Novice Tycho Isod.

I would like to recommend Nero Inferni for promotion to the rank of Jedi Hunter.

Nero is one of our most active members, as well as completing the standard requirements of duration in rank, registering on the forums and logging onto our IRC channel (which he regularly frequents); Nero has been a fantastic example to other members of the House - gently prodding people in the direction of activity, and generally influencing others through his sheer enthusiasm.

Nero has passed the SA leadership studies exam, earned an impressive 68 Clusters of Fire, run a competition for the House (a trivia event which made even us oldies think!), and earned himself a well deserved merit award for his activity in the Dark Crusades. Thank you Nero, for your contributions to the House, they are much appreciated, and congratulations on your promotion to Jedi Hunter!

Enthusiasm and a dedication to being active are two traits that sprang to mind as soon as I took a look at Nero's activity record before taking him on as a student. He has held true to these traits throughout these past weeks positively surprising me at every turn. As a journeyman his devotion to rise in rank has sparked activity not only in him, but everyone in his vicinity. He has shown himself to be an excellent teamplayer and has been in constant communication with me throughout the stages of his Guardianship, teaching me a thing or two in the process as well.

Nero has met all the requirements for advancement to the next journeyman rank. He has registered on the forum and maintains an active presence on our IRC channel. He has also become well versed in our competitions, having both run one with success as well as participated in numerous diverse competitions with placements. Together with this he has both passed his leadership studies SA course and has easily exceeded the minimum amount of earned Clusters of Fire.

Apart from achieving all the mandatory requirements Nero has shown himself to be a passionate and active Taldryanite and cannot be discounted among our most active and elite members. Activity and enthusiasm are the life and blood of our house and the brotherhood as a whole and should not go without the proper thanks and appreciation. Therefore I hereby request that Guardian Nero Inferni be elevated to the rank of Jedi Hunter. Keep up the excellent work, Nero!
