Medal Request: Steel Cross
Prelate Etah d'Tana (8075)

The Steel Cross is earned, not given. Recipients of the award are often forged by their experiences as a leader or refined by the rigors of the tasks assigned to them. In Etah's case, the value of leadership does not have price tag, but one can be rewarded for the merit of their position.

Serving as a newly minted "Docent" within the Shadow Academy, Etah has earned marks from the Headmaster in the form of both Scrolls of Indoctrination and Scrolls of Foundation. Fundamentally, he does a lot for our club by working as a member of the Shadow Academy staff as it continues to refine its courses, bring new ones online and change its operating model. In addition to this workload, Etah also has served - for over five months - as both Aedile and then Quaestor of House Galeres.

During this time he has posted seven reports, hosted on competition and facilitated many more through his Aedile. He has also worked to breathe life into the Clan and House Prospectuses by reviewing, and drafting, edits for both pieces. These parts relate to both history of the units, as well as the general details of the planets. Last, but not least, he has served as a reminder - for his Aedile - as to what path to follow in leadership. His time with Ninj (Zakath) has done great things to guide the young Aedile on the proper path of leadership as Ninj continues to develop.

For the Competition: N/A

I would hereby to like to award Etah with a Steel Cross for his contribution to Arcona’s domination in Horizons by participating in seven events. These events were: Week 1 Poem, Week 1 Multimedia, Week 1 ID Scan, Week 1 Trivia, the Week 2 Battleplan, the Wiki event and the Run-On Etah helped his RO team to first place, putting out two posts, as well as securing third place for his team in the wiki event and fourth place for his team in the Battleplan event.

Etah has also created several documents that will be forming the basis of updating Galeres’ history and background. Having over 10,000 words easily in these articles will help the project members immensely and give them a starting point on future projects. Etah has also taken time out to create graphics for Galeres and Spectre Cell, despite not being in the Battleteam. Etah is one of my stalwarts in Galeres. Whenever I need something done, Etah is there, volunteering his services and making my life easier. Whenever an event occurs, Etah is there, participating and drumming up activity. I can’t picture Galeres without Etah and I’m sure Etah can’t either. Congratulations on your Steel Cross, Etah.

For the Competition: N/A

I'm writing this recommendation for Etah to receive a Steel Cross for his work in 'Beyond the Horizons', the Feud between Arcona and Plagueis. Etah placed 4th in the Battleplan, as well as participating in [Week 1] Acronyms, [Week 1] Graphics, [Week 1] Poetry, [Week 1] Flash Game (QWOP), [Week 1] Trivia, [Week 2] Trivia, [Week 2] Graphics and he also helped his team to 4th place in the Run-on. Etah's hard work extended further than just participating in the Feud. He also encouraged members of his Battleteam to participate, both of whom assisted their teams greatly, as well as contributing to the overall activity and score of House Galeres. Etah has shown his ability to encourage others and I wish to show my appreciate for his dedication to the Shadow Clan and the Brotherhood at large with this Steel Cross. Congratulations, Etah.

Quaestor of House Galeres

I am proud to be writing a recommendation for Etah to receive a Steel Cross. His participation in the feud was outstanding as well as his hard work and willingness to get the job done. He was given a team that he didn’t know an asked to work with them, a task that he got straight onto by emailing the whole team, as the email chain grew so did the direction of the Run-on as well as the participation that the whole team undertook. He helped his team secure third place and made himself a valued member of the team, giving input and participating as much as possible. From this he learned a new set of skills as well as participating he was also driving his own Battleteam to do the very best they could, leading by example as well as staying in touch with them. For all of his hard work and as Sang mentioned above, effort I am happy to be giving him this medal. Congratulations Etah and keep up the hard work.
