Sith Battlemaster, Obelisk Prelate, or Krath Archpriest (commonly known as Equite 2 or EQ2) is the tenth rank in the Dark Brotherhood, which is awarded after demonstrating above and beyond performance as a 1st level Equite. At this rank members may request a Custom Lightsaber.
It is the second rank in the Equite class, the second step down the path to Dark Side Adept.
Promotion past this rank is determined by your Clan Summit when a promotion is warranted based on performance and activity. In addition, you must meet the following requirements:
- Have trained at least one member to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. If the member in question is not in a position to train members (including, but not limited to, being on the Dark Council), there must be at least a comparable amount of activity relating to the training of others.
Upon promotion by your Clan Summit, you will reach one of three Equite ranks based on your Order.
History
The rank of EQ2 has undergone name changes for both the Sith and Obelisk order. The Sith name for the rank became Sith Warmaster for a few years, before returning to being the present Sith Battlemaster, while the Obelisk rank, originally named Obelisk Battlemaster first became the unpopular Obelisk Sentinel, which was replaced within weeks by the current Obelisk Prelate.
