VEDJ
Effective Immediately:

All members of the VEDJ with the rank of Dark Jedi Master may recruit 1 apprentice. The apprentices will stay at the lowest rank for a minimum of 1 month and they must pass all of the Academy tests at the DJM's speed. Here is a quick example:

DJM Atrus wants an apprentice to train. He searched the Vast Empire for the best/most active person he can find. Once he finds that person he makes him/her his apprentice. That apprentice will be taught by DJM Atrus and he/she must pass all of the tests as quickly as DJM Atrus gives them to he/she. Once the tests are completed the apprentice must make his/her lightsaber before being promoted to the rank of DJK. At that point DJM Atrus places his apprentice wherever DJM Atrus wants.

DJM's may only have 1 apprentice at a time unless specific approval is given by the Head of the High Council and even then no more than 2 apprentices. The benefit of having a DJM train people is that it is MUCH quicker than going through the normal VEDJ Academy. All DJM's wanting to have their own apprentices WILL go through a quick training session by the VEDJ Academy Instructor prior to being allowed by the Grand Master (the GM and DGM can also give this training) to having their own apprentices. This insures that all DJM's know where the tests, manuals, etc are at.

If you know of a DJM with no apprentice you may e-mail them asking if you can be their apprentice.

You may also apply for the VEDJ normally by e-mailing the Grand Master (Atrus) and being placed in our Academy.

This decision was made by myself to hopefully get people to work harder within the VEDJ and perhaps get more recruits for the VEDJ. Any questions let me know. I will ask GM/DJM Atrus to make the ammendment to the VEDJ Manual as soon as possible.
