Dark Brotherhood Promotion Requirements

The following requirements have been set forth as the path for new members to follow on their journey to Dark Jedi Knight. Completing the tasks indicated in each of the following steps will qualify a member for promotion – however, these steps are not the only requirement, the Brotherhood also expects all of its members to be consistently active contributors. Once a member has completed the tasks indicated in any individual step, their leaders will determine if they have also met the activity standard - if so, the leader will then send a promotion recommendation to the Master at Arms. The activity standard threshold is very low: as long as a member is consistently active at an acceptable level (consistent being the key), this requirement will be met.

The purpose of these various requirements is to provide a solid base of knowledge for new members that will maintain the fun environment we strive to foster. The tasks should be completed naturally while members enjoying themselves, not merely sprinting through them as if they were a checklist.

Clan and House leaders: Please do not hesitate to consult with the Master at Arms if you need help with these requirements. However always get in touch with other leaders within your Clan first: they may be able to provide the assistance you're looking for.

  • Create your character history

These tasks should not artificially expand on the six week time-in-rank requirement.
