In order to properly identify Dark Jedi in Knights' communiqué, the following system of Identification (ID) Lines has been established.

Full ID lines are to be used in all official communication (messages to the Shadow Chamber or other superiors, and in official reports) but in informal settings (personal emails, unit mailing list conversations) shortened versions may be used.

---

The following format should be used for all Brotherhood ID Lines:

Position/Rank & Name/Cohort/House/Clan [Envoy/Guard Status], Medal1/Medal2/Medal3

Position

A member's position in the Dark Brotherhood. This ranges from Battle Team members to the Dark Council.

Rank

This is your rank in the Brotherhood, such as Apprentice, Guardian, etc

Name

Obviously, your Dark Jedi name. However, if you are displaying your Brotherhood ID line underneath another ID line which states your name, you omit the name again to avoid redundancy.

House

This is the House to which you belong, for example, 'Tridens'.

Clan

This is the Clan to which you belong, for example, 'Tarentum'.

Status

Those members who have been initiated into the Praetorian Guard or other elite societies are granted permission to display such status in their ID lines.

Medals

These are the medals you have earned in the Brothrhood, in order of highest of importance to lowest, separated by a front slash (/).

Here is an example of how an ID line would look for a normal member of a House:

TYR/KP Arckon/Qel-Droma of Arcona, (SC-SoA)/DC-KC
