This award is long overdue. Raiju put his heart and soul into Tarentum as its Aedile. He pitched the idea for Ravaged, our long-running competition series. Then he planned out the story line, wrote the prologue and the first chapter, and organized the competitions. It went smoothly for the most part, and it was one of the first big cohesive events we've done in a long time. While doing all of that he also managed our Master/Student Program, took the initiative to email some of our old friends in the Rogues and tried successfully in a couple of cases to convince them to come back, emailed new members as they came in, and helped keep up on advancement for our Journeymen. Many of these things he did on his own initiative, which is one of the things I admire the most about him: he notices something that needs to be done and he just goes and does it. He has a strong leadership sense and the experience to back it up. It's a terrific quality in an Aedile, although at times I felt he was giving me a run for my money. For his several months of sustained, intensive and above-the-call-of-duty efforts as our Aedile I am proud to award a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.
