Darkness entombed the corridors of the Arconan Citadel as rain pounded against the building. It was a cold and long night, for those up at least. Sabers could be heard locking together from one of the training rooms inside of the mighty building, a white blade connecting with an opposing blue blade. As the two sparing combatants broke away from each other, it was clear that one of them was far superior to the other.

“You still need to pick up your skills, though you have come a long way.” He told him, his voice calm even in the violent situation he was putting his opponent in.

Before the Journeyman even had a chance to speak, the Primarch was bounding forward, his two blades aiming to decapitate his opponent straight away. Forced onto his back foot, the Jedi Hunter brought his blade up to block. Before he could realise what was happening, the Equite’s saber dropped out of his grip, his hand making contact with the Ryn’s nose, hearing a wet, shattering crack as the bone snapped, sending blood dripping down the man’s face as he reeled back.

“Again, you left yourself open.” The Zabrak admonished, his eyes darting to the door before it even opened. Atyiru, the House Aedile, stepped through, coming towards the men, summoned to speak by the Quaestor. He waited for her words.

“They are ready for you.” She informed him. It seemed that Cethgus had not been telling the Ryn the whole truth about this little training session from the outset.

Nodding, his hands quickly put his sabers away, summoning the one that now lay useless on the floor with nothing but a simple flick of his wrist as he clipped the blade to his belt. Giving the Ryn but a spare second to do the same, he motioned for Kordath to follow his two superiors out the door.

Walking down the corridors, it soon dawned on the Jedi Hunter that he had never been into this area of the Citadel, although for a Journeyman that isn't that surprising at all. Finally, the two of them reached a dark door with the Arcona symbol engraved into it, the wood gleamingly clean, as if it had been polished every day since its creation.

Atyiru allowed her hand to extend knocking on the door clearly as she waited for a reply to her inquiry about entering this place. She got the response as the door creaked open, allowing the three of them to enter the mysterious office.

“Kordath, you have been summoned here for your recent action in the Crusades, as well as in response to the studies you have undertaken.” The voice that greeted him from the darkness was clear as day, belonging to none other than Marick, the Consul of Arcona.

“Due to all of your work and devotion, we see it fit to elevate you into the ranks of the Dark Jedi Knights. Welcome to Knighthood. Savor this moment, and know that your true test to this Clan has only just begun.” With these seemingly simple words, it was over, all the work, all the pain he endured, all the terrifying and life-threatening encounters. He had finally made it.

Kordath was finally a Knight of Clan Arcona.

..........

I am honoured to see Kordath finally reach the rank of Knighthood his hard work and dedication to the Brotherhood and Clan Arcona has seen him finally achieve the end goal for any Journeymen inside of the club. He is a constant presence in the Dark Crusades as well as outside of them becoming a friendly and known member of Arcona.

Though others have spoken about what he has done since his last promotion I am going to take the time to tell you about him and what work he does outside of the trials. Since Kordath joined he was a quiet member of Clan Arcona but that soon changed. He has got involved straight away inside of the Dark Crusades being a regular member in events and showing his support to the clan in its previous victories. He is always offering his help out to others as well as not being afraid to ask for help when it is needed. He has often spoken to myself and others about any work that is required and has been welcomed with open arms in doing such. He works hard and keeps himself driven in anything he does, for this he expects nothing in return. He is a true asset of both House Galeres and Clan Arcona.

Congratulations Kordath I see you finally made it to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, your hard work recently is truly appreciated keep it up and keep driving to achieve higher inside the club. I look forward to seeing what you do.

The time’s finally come, and I couldn’t be happier for it. I’m honestly delighted to be recommending Kordath Bleu for his promotion from Jedi Hunter to Dark Jedi Knight. Kordath has been a beacon of activity, hard work, and good laughs among the Clan, and in doing so, has bettered the entirety of the Brotherhood.

Kordath, much like his character, hit the ground running (although for different reasons). He’s been a majorly active member since the beginning and went flying up through the ranks. Since his last promotion, he’s been especially busy, and has completed all the requirements for his next rank as designated by the Master at Arms office. He was awarded a merit medal, an Anteian Cross for his efforts and placement in Galeres’ Homcoming events, as well as his dedication to advancing in the Shadow Academy. In the same fold, he’s collected plenty of competition awards, from both House-run events and from participation in the Dark Crusade events. He has also submitted to eighteen different competitions, including [Homecoming] The Death Walkers, [Homecoming] Run-On, Homecoming: Trivia, Homecoming: Poetry, Homecoming: Caption Comp, [Homecoming] The Butterfly Effect, [Homecoming] Survive the Horde!, [Homecoming] Did I Stay at a Holidy Inn Express Last Night...?, [Homecoming] A Galeres event, Crusade P2C1 Svolten: (Poetry) Inspiration in War, Crusade P2C1 Svolten: (Run-on) The Chain of Duty, Svolten (General Forces) - Gaming, [Dark Crusade P2:C1] Svolten - Valuable Resources (General Forces), Crusade P2C1 Svolten: (Fiction 1) Assault, Crusade P2C1 Svolten: (Fiction 2) Infectious Madness, Crusade P2C2 Kalsunor: (MultiMedia) These things before, Crusade P2C2 Kalsunor: (Fiction) Gravity, and Crusade P2C2 Kalsunor: (Gaming) The Swarm). And, besides participating in all these competitions, he also ran one for his fellow members, a Trivia event on IRC.

Furthermore, Kordath has also been hard at work studying at the Shadow Academy and displaying his fictional abilities as he expanded his knowledge of the Brotherhood and worked to help his Clan, managing to earn a Dark Maven in Philosophy. He has completed a quality character wiki article, providing a detailed history for his slightly-less-cowardly and humorous character. In the same vein, he helped the Clan by completing further wiki work for his House Summit Task. Despite being busy doing all this, he also managed to turn out a brilliant, truly entertaining fifteen-page fiction assignment as designated by his House Summit. And, while eagerly committing to all this work, he was also patient (as any Knight should be) and waited the designated time requirement of forty-two days as a Jedi Hunter. Now, at least, his patience had paid off.

I will let the accomplishments above and any other accolades he receives speak for themselves; but suffice to say, Kordath has more than earned the title of Dark Jedi Knight. A huge congratulations, my friend, and very well done. You’re a gem, and a brilliant one. Remember that when you’re chasing even higher goals among the Brotherhood in the future, because we can’t wait to see what’s next.

Welcome to Knighthood.

Kordath Bleu is the latest of our Dark Jedi Knight candidates. Like the others before him, he has shown the diligence needed to achieve this milestone and, as Clan Rollmaster, I am delighted to see him ready to claim his lightsaber.

As my colleagues Cethgus and Atyiru have already said, Kordath has shown himself to be one of the many jewels in the crown that is Clan Arcona.

Good work, Kordath. Enjoy your lightsaber.

<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>

I am honoured to be giving Kordath Bleu his promotion to the rank of Guardian. He has continued to be a stellar example of activity and devotion inside of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He has been constantly active since joining Clan Arcona and House Galeres meeting the requirement set by the Master at Arms Office.

Since his last promotion he has been awarded a merit medal in the form of a Anteian Cross. This was due to this hard work inside of the House Galeres Homecoming event in which he managed to participate the following competitions: [Homecoming] The Butterfly Effect, [Homecoming] Survive the Horde!, [Homecoming] Poetry, [Homecoming] Trivia, [Homecoming] Caption Comp, [Homecoming] A Galeres event, [Homecoming] The Death Walkers, [Homecoming] Run-On.

As well as doing this amazing list of things he has managed to write up a two page character fiction which was approved by the House summit. He continues to progress inside the Brotherhood learning different parts by taking the GMRG History Exam, as well as the ACC Basics Exam and creating an approved character sheet. He has continued to take exams as well as completing the Krath Order exam.

Kordath continues to work hard, but he also takes the time to interact with other members of the Brotherhood, being a regular site in #Arcona. He chats away to members within Arcona as well as those that are outside of the unit. He also has visited and talked on the Ventrilo server getting to know those gamers that actively raid.

His hard work recently has seen him take first place overall in homecoming and dominating the event. Your hard work and dedication is appreciated Kordath, Congratulations on making Guardian and keep up the hard work in the future.
