Tra’an Reith is one of the bastions of Plagueis, befitting his status as di Plagia. During our recent feud with Clan Odan-Urr, Between Light and Dark, Tra’an submitted to six of the eleven events possible and took a solo 8th place in the prologue puzzle. More importantly, however, was bringing his trademark leadership and panache to our first place Battleplan entry, a major contribution to our overall victory. Tra'an will probably be known forever as the battleplan-whisperer in Clan Plagueis, given that his animated, voiced briefings are some of the best battleplan entries one might see anywhere. Tra'an is the one who takes all the disparate pieces of the plan and works them into a synchronized masterpiece.

All told since his last award in August, Tra’an has twent-five competitions and earned for crescents (one diamond, two amethyst, and one emerald). Gaming wise, he’s earned a staggering nine pendants of blood to go along with one hundred and sixty clusters of fire and three hundred and thirty-two clusters of earth. Additionally, as a writer he’s amassed eleven clusters of ice between fiction activities and the ACC battle he completed.

In addition to his personal successes, Tra’an has continued to demonstrate the leadership qualities he cultivated during his time as Quaestor even now that he’s just a regular joe. His guidance was instrumental during the recent feud as Plagueis found itself with a slew of new members who had never experienced a true vendetta-style event before. Tra’an stepped into the role of vendetta sherpa, helping our members through the trials and tribulations of high intensity competition. He’s also been co-organizing the smash hit “Twelve Weeks a Haiku” competition, serving as not only a comp runner but also as it’s biggest cheer leader to the Brotherhood at large.

The other area of Tra'an's leadership is as the ACC sherpa for Clan Plagueis (and elsewhere, more on that later). During the last 8 months, Tra'an has provided his services as a proof reader and adviser for more than 30 individual ACC posts outside of the GMIT. Within that high-stakes tournament, however, Tra'an was a primary proof reader for myself, Kz'set, and even Timeros in Arcona and he proofed 15 of the most dense, high quality posts the ACC has ever seen. I have not doubt, at least personally, that the success of those competitors in the tournament was at least helped along by Tra'an's great stash of ACC wisdom. As an long tenured former member of the ACC staff, Plagueis is lucky to have his assistance in navigating the sometimes treacherous waters of the combat center.

Without his continual presence, activity, and leadership, I can say without a doubt that Plagueis would not be in the strong, healthy position it is today.
