Sith Warrior, Obelisk Templar, Krath Priest, Consular Savant, Guardian Duelist or Sentinel Scout (commonly known as Equite 1 or EQ1) is the ninth rank in the Dark Brotherhood, which is awarded after demonstrating above and beyond performance as a Dark Jedi Knight. It is the first rank in the Equite class, the first step down the path to Dark Side Adept.
House Summits, Rollmasters and Proconsuls have the authority to promote members up to this rank. There is the expectation of at least five to six months of sustained activity as a Dark Jedi Knight before you can be promoted to Equite 1.
Upon promotion by your Clan Summit, you will reach one of six Equite ranks based on your Order.
History
The first Equite rank has a stable history in terms of the Sith and Krath names for the rank. However, the Obelisk name began as Obelisk Warrior, which got replaced briefly by the unpopular Obelisk Champion. It was replaced only weeks later by the present Obelisk Templar, which began existence as the Obelisk name for the fourth Equite rank.
