Darkblade has spent the last 9 months, serving as Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan. While doing this, he has run 22 competitions, which had a combined total of 148 participants. That's almost 7 entries per competition.

Darkblade has also participated in 86 competitions, which garnered him 5 Crescents with Ruby Star, 10 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 5 Crescents with Sapphire Star and 1 Crescent with Emerald Star.

He has also earned a Grand Cross for his work as Quaestor over the past few months, as well as a Steel Cross and an Anteian Cross.

Darkblade has also worked as a Professor in the Shadow Academy, overseeing the Novitiate Hall for 8 months, where he was one of the first to complete the audit of the Shadow Academy's departments that led to the eventual restructure of the Shadow Academy that saw Darkblade lose his position. While there, Darkblade earned 3 Scrolls of Foundation.

Darkblade is also a force in gaming, earning 10 Pendants of Blood, 75 Clusters of Fire and 392 Clusters of Earth. DB has undertaken creating fictional story lines and pieces of work for his House, despite claiming he's rubbish at such things, having written 11,446 words in various fictions in competitions and event fiction for House events. Combine this with 4,188 words written for Run Ons, earning a total of 35 Clusters of Ice and Darkblade shows why Locke hired him as Quaestor. He leads from the front, demands the best from his members and provides them with opportunities to excel and have fun, all the while overcoming his weaknesses.

His time with us as a Savant has seen Darkblade be rewarded for a massive edit of CNS wiki articles, ensuring our articles were properly tagged and updating hundreds of our pages and NPCs. All without being asked! Darkblade undertook this on his own initiative and was rewarded for it as part of his recent Grand Cross. He has also recently earned Wikipedian of the Month for his efforts, being recognised by Selikah Roh, the Wiki Tribune and earning a Dark Side Scroll.

Darkblade has worked hard as a Quaestor to ensure that House Shar Dakhan is in the best possible situation summit wise. He's crafted an excellent team that is currently made up of Evelynn/Aexod and Lilith, and I can see that they will be able to replace Darkblade in the future, which is a positive thing, as it speaks well that Darkblade has enabled them to progress and develop their skills.

Darkblade has overcome a lot of initial distrust and judgement from members because of his past, yet through it all, Darkblade has never given up, nor ever demanded less than 100% from himself. I can't complain about Darkblade's drive, nor willingness to help his members. He has grown and developed himself over the past 9 months into an even better Quaestor and leader of his House. His ability to draw out the best of Lilith, who originally didn't want to serve in a summit position, thinking that she wasn't good enough, is fantastic. It's great to see Lilith working hard as BTL of Devil's Shroud even now. Combine that to the fact that Darkblade has gone through 3 Aediles during his time as Quaestor, each one an excellent candidate for future leadership.

Shar Dakhan has done well under Darkblade's watch, having had several events run and is even now running a new slice of life RO that is allowing our members to capitalise on the recent change in Consul and the fiction update.

His hard work these past 9 months as Quaestor is more than deserving of a promotion to the rank of Seer. Congratulations on your promotion, Darkblade.

Darkblade is a person who works his behind off for his House. He is so selfless that most of his activity can easily go unnoticed, as it is in the form of numerous wiki pages, e-mails, telegram discussions and spreadsheets.

Now when I say most of his activity can go unnoticed, this doesn't mean it's the only thing he does. He's created more content for his House than any Quaestor I've had the opportunity to serve under. Even a year after his Master duties have ended, since I've become a Knight, he still continues to instruct me to the best of his abilities, doing his best to make me (and I speak for myself, but I'm sure every single person of Shar Dakhan thinks the same) into a future leader, capable of standing my own ground through any obstacles the Club may send my way.

Thank you for being a wonderful Master, Quaestor, but most of all an amazing person. Congratulations on EQ3 buddy!

When Sang asked me to write a supporting document for Darkblade’s promotion to Equite 3, I unhesitatingly said yes for several reasons.

I have had the pleasure of working with Savant Morax Darkblade in a couple of different capacities. First I was his BlackGuard when I won the competition to be such last summer and second I am the Battleteam Leader for Devil’s Shroud which operates through House Shar Dakhan of which Darkblade is the Quaestor. I can truly say that he is a pleasure to work for and with.

Darkblade is always ready to help with any question that anyone has. He is very fair in his dealings with everyone. He has been a great teacher to me as I have learned the ropes of being a BTL, always showing patience whenever I haven’t understood something, pointing me in the direction that I need to go.

Thanks to Darkblade and his successful tutelage of this nervous, at the time Mystic, I feel that I will be more than able to accomplish what ever role I find myself in in my future with the Brotherhood. I will not hesitate to throw my hat in the ring for greater positions than what I currently hold, many thanks, Darkblade.

Darkblade is very deserving of this promotion as I believe that he is a well rounded individual who takes pride in doing good for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and Clan Naga Sadow.

I've been looking for a different Clan for quiet some time, having settled on Taldryan since early November. With the current shift in leadership in CNS and my agenda finished for HSD, I feel that I can no longer be of any worthy assistance or value to the House or Clan with the new direction it's going to take. As stated in my resignation request, the past 13,5 months were an excellent opportunity which I thoroughly enjoyed. Yet I feel it's time to truly pursue the unique opportunities other Clans have to offer its members, in particular Taldryan. Thanks.

After a few hours of research I've finally settled with a first name that seems befitting of the new direction I've taken Darkblade the past few months.

I hope this isn't wasting precious DC time. xoxo
