Syrna has been waiting quite some time for a much deserved promotion. She completed all but one of the basic requirements several weeks ago, including the Brotherhood History I, Old Republic History, History of the Sith Empire I, ACC Basics, and Pre-Republic History SA courses. She completed a detailed character history. She has also been a frequent visitor to her Clan IRC channel. The only fly in the ointment until this point has been a missing character sheet. The approval was delayed for quite some time due to the RoS, but it finally went through this morning. I am therefore pleased to recommend Syrna Valkiss for promotion to the rank of Protector.

Jonius has completed the trials required to gain the rank of Acolyte. He has completed three History of the Sith Empire courses, as well as the DB Basics exam, and has registered for the Forums. On top of that, he has has found his way onto IRC and joined the Clan channel #taldryan to hang out. This more than qualifies him for a rank elevation. Excellent work, Jonius. Congratulations.

Since taking over as BTL of the Nightwraiths last October Nami has been the absolute epitome of up and coming leaders in Tarentum. He has successfully developed a great deal of fiction for his battleteam, released a report virtually every week like clockwork, and has helped and inspired many of his members to become valuable assets to Tarentum in their own right. His performance during the Broken storyline as well as during the Rite of Supremacy were exemplary. Nami takes part in every competition he can--winning most of them, passed countless SA courses, and completed four Shadow Academy degrees (including a Dark Savant). He is one of Tarentum's most reliable bastions of activity and we appreciate him so much that before long he will be in one of the clan's top leadership positions. Nami, we love you.

~Ji K'awiil, Quaestor of House Cestus

There aren't a lot of people you can find who can match the caliber of leadership, writing skill, and dedication of Tier-Avis Nami. And even you can find someone close to his caliber, I'm sure he can still outmatch them. Nami has been an incredible asset to the clan since he first joined, shortly after the ninth GJW. Since then, he has only proven over and over that he is a capable, trustworthy member of the Tarenti.

Nami has served as BTL of the Nightwraiths for several months now, but besides leading, he has been mostly responsible for including the team in actual clan-wide lore. His consistent reports and concern for the well-being of the Nightwraiths are astonishing to see, but even below the surface level of reports, you can see an intricate turning of gears as Nami continues to strengthen the BT's purpose in House Cestus's fiction. Besides his leadership, his writing skills have surpassed even the best writing veterans of the DB, winning him many ACC battles in the recently concluded Rite of Supremacy and even earning him an Anteian Cross for his participation in the RoS events. He has included his writing in "Broken: The Final Chapter" - a run-on recently finished by the clan - and his very own character article on the DJBwiki is currently featured on the main wiki page. He has earned over twenty crescents for writing competitions, as well as various merit medals for volunteering his time to editing wiki articles and writing pieces of fiction for his house's location and culture.

What I see in Nami is the future of the clan, and I am sometimes disappointed that there aren't more leaders like him. Having worked on a two-person run-on with the guy, I am already confident in his writing ability - but I am even more confident in where he can lead his house and clan next. Tier-Avis Nami has proven to me that he is worthy of becoming one of the many Equites of the DJB, and I only hope that he will continue far past Obelisk Templar, to become one of the newest of the great leaders of the Brotherhood. Thanks, Nami.

Over the last year Tsingtao has silently gone about his work improving his unit, and by extension, the entire Brotherhood. He has served his units as Aedile and Quaestor. He has served us all as Eclectic Pedagogue. He has served Revan as advisor and by participating in multiple events of the Rite of Supremacy: Spoils of War including Round 2's Graphics and the Finals Graphics and Fiction events helping us to win the entire Vendetta.

This kind of selfless service is exactly the character of members we seek to encourage, stimulate, and retain in Revan. Last year he helped Naga Sadow achieve more than they could otherwise without him. This year he has done the same for us.

In the time since he has earned 5 Seals of Unity, 4 Scrolls of Foundation, Crescent with Topaz Star, Crescent with Quartz Star, Crescent with Emerald Star, Gold Nova, Dark Cross, and the Anteian Cross.

We of Revan value and honor Tsingtao's work on our behalf and wish to show him this small measure of our gratitude.

Valorian is a difference maker. If you place him on one side of a contest, that side will benefit while the other will suffer. Much as he did in the Ninth Great Jedi War for Naga Sadow, Valorian participated in nearly everything available to him and did so adeptly and successfully. Given the skill-based nature of the Rite of Supremacy: Spoils of War, having him on your side was a clear advantage. We were just lucky enough to be the beneficiaries of his work this time around as he helped us defeat his former clan.

So crucial and poignant has Valorian's work been that his last promotion came on the battlefield of the last Vendetta. In the time since he has earned 13 Seals of Unity, 5 Silver Novas, 4 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 2 Dark Crosses, Gold Nova, Crescent with Emerald Star, and the Sapphire Blade. During the RoS Valorian submitted to Round 2's Graphics and the Finals Graphics event. He placed 5th in the second round's Graphic event and 3rd in the Graphic event of the finals.

We of Revan know that without Valorian, we would not have had the success we did. We would like to honor him through this elevation into the Equite tier so he may know his service and company are appreciated and welcome.

The step from Dark Jedi Knight to Equite is the first our members take into their Order and future in the Dark Brotherhood. What does an Equite look like? An Equite looks like a member that participates in all facets of the Dark Brotherhood and excels in those fields. An Equite looks like 13 Seals of Unity, 5 Silver Novas, 4 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 2 Dark Crosses, a Gold Nova, a Crescent with Emerald Star, and the Sapphire Blade since his last promotion. An Equite looks like the performance Valorian has put forth over the last 10 months. Welcome to the Ranks of the Sith Order and welcome to the Equite Class.

Tek is another outstanding member and contributor we were lucky enough to get from Tarentum. He was on board from the beginning with the founding of Revan helping Sarin and I to plan and strategize how we would go about the adventurous endeavor. His early support of the idea was crucial during a stage of development when we were fairly uncertain as to whether or not we would succeed.

Over the last three and a half years Tek has earned 5 Seals of Unity, 4 Seals of Duplicity, 2 Crescents with Topaz Star, Scroll of Indoctrination, Scroll of Foundation, Legion of the Scholar, Dark Cross, and Steel Cross.

On behalf of the entire club he has worked with our own Dalthid as an ACC Judge and written numerous match introductions providing the members who participate there more variety in venues. He has also mentored two apprentices and guiding one to the honorable rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He also worked within Revan helping to prepare our ACC combatants for the Rite of Supremacy.

Since beginning with us in Revan, Tek's dedication has been outstanding. In the middle of the recent Rite of Supremacy he made the time to compete in nearly every event including Round 2's Graphics and Fiction, and the Finals Fiction event. He also aided us in Round 2's Antei Combat Center victory. All this was done in the midst of him purchasing a home and moving. He gave his best effort each time he competed on our behalf and did not time-out of a single ACC match despite his hectic personal circumstances. This is again a classic example of the Sacrifice of Revan members for the greater good.

We of Revan are honored to have a member like Tek among us and would like very much for him to know that he is appreciated and valued.

Have you ever met the best XVT and XWA pilot in the Dark Brotherhood? Have you ever met the best XVT and XWA pilot in the Star Wars community. I have. His name is Tek and you and many others might be surprised to know he has beaten tens of thousands of people in the platform that our club and so many other clubs were founded upon. Tek is a legend. The fact that you don't know he is a legend is what makes him so special. Here is a member who was the pinnacle of all that our clubs were founded on. A member who had the opportunity to play with the best of the best on the internet, yet remained a part of our clubs. Yet, no one has ever heard him mention it.

No, our Tek has rewritten himself as a ACC guru and a fiction writer that places and excels in Dark Brotherhood level events. A writer who has supplied backstory for the creation of House Revan and for the future of House Revan. A man who volunteers his time to teach new members how to compete and participate in events all the while competing and participating in those same events. A leader who leads from the front by deeds, not words.

It has been three years since Tek was promoted. In that time he created time saving devices for the ACC that are now considered the norm, he has mentored subordinates who now serve in leadership positions, and he has participated in major events with major success. Battlelord is a fitting title for someone who has won so many battles on behalf of our club in the past and someone who will continue to provide in the future. Grats buddy.
