Former Responsibilities
The position of Herald has had quite a few duties that have either been abandoned or passed on to other Dark Council or Tribune members. Some of these duties include:
- Editor of the Dark Voice
- Providing Star Wars related news
- Head of the SWGN
Rule of Three
The Rule of Three was a policy created to limit numerous request in order to dedicate more time to other requests, as well as projects assigned to the Herald’s Staff from the Grand Master. The Rule of Three states that a member may request up to 3 times for a warbanner or custom lightsaber, (rank permitting), under the following rank groups:
- Guardian / Jedi Hunter
- Dark Jedi Knight / Equite 1
- Equite 2 / Equite 3
- Equite 4
- Elder
- Grand Master
Once a member has reached their maximum number of requests per item and rank, they cannot request until they reach they next bracket. Any requests that come in after that point will be denied immediately.
The Rule of Three was placed under effect by Shikyo Keibatsu, Tyren Atema, and Jeric Cyrin on 6/5/2008.
Fictional Role
The Herald serves as the Emissary of the Dark Council and the public ambassador for the Antei Sector. In may ways, the Herald is the public face of the Dark Brotherhood, liaising with outside parties to preserve and protect the secret of our organization. The Herald is also one of the main liaisons between the Dark Council and the Clans and is rarely seen at the Dark Hall, always away on business elsewhere.
