Atra is an indispensable member of Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood. Since his last major recognition (being promoted to Seer in September), he has been an awesome Quaestor for House Shar Dakhan. He also put a hand in the ACC and the Voice office, as a judge and Praetor, and has only recently stepped down from Quaestor to focus on those. (I'm guessing 'cause he ran out of hands.) In each of these roles, Atra has done an excellent job.
I'll focus on his role of Quaestor and let supporting recs talk about other things. Since his promotion, Atra has continued to keep up with reports and released one every month. He also was an integral part of clan story discussions and aligned Shar Dakhan with these. He always thought of how his House could fit and how the clan could benefit. Atra has participated in a total of 17 competitions over this time, and he has had a strong presence on the clan's Telegram channel. As a leader, Atra frequently reminded members of ongoing competitions and events, and encouraged them to participate. He set the example by participating himself, including participating in every single December Celebration competition, which he placed 2nd overall in.
Atra also helped run a major event for Naga Sadow during this time. "Ashes Fall" had a total of ten competitions, including a runon that was guided with fiction updates before, during, and after it. This event saw a total of 18 individual participants, who created a total of 99 individual competition entries over 9 competitions (not counting the parent competition). In so doing, he helped provide quite a bit of fun to the members of Naga Sadow.
In general participation, Atra has written over 10,000 words of fiction, he has earned numerous crescents, including two Diamond, two Ruby, and three Amethyst. His awards show that he dabbles in a bit of many different competition types,m as he also has 2 Pendants of Blood, 339 Clusters of Fire, and 31 of Ice. Finally, he's earned three Scrolls of Foundation for Shadow Academy work, in which he has graded 15 courses. He has also passed 20 course and earned four degrees, including the Dark Savant in Writing and Philosophy, the Maven in Philosophy, and the Pundits in Essentials and Vendetta.
Overall, this recommendation and the others show that Atra is a highly active member, as well as a great leader, both in supporting roles for the DJB and in leading a House and helping to guide a clan.
For this I'd like to award Atra this Sapphire Blade in recognition of his efforts.
Congratulations, Atra!
P.S. Bro, will you be my valentine? <3

- Additional reasons
-
As a member of the ACC staff, Atra has Judged a total of 12 matches since I last contributed to a Merit Award recommendation for his efforts. This puts him as the most active Judge over the past three months. On top of this, he has graded 10 Qualification Exams, and helped with the training of our latest two judges by sharing his knowledge and notes on a match that they shadowed him on. He has been my go to right-hand man for managing the ACC, and takes time to talk to any member who has questions about the ACC and the mechanics that are involved with it.
Congratulations, Atra. Keep up the great work!

Atra's dedication is simply-put: Awe-inspiring. He has managed to balance the workloads of 3 full-time offices: The Clan's summit, ACC Judge and Praetor to the Voice. His work only improved, and he still managed to host several competitions, go for the 100% completion on most of the events he entered, and till managed to train a new member. I would be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated member of this club.
Atra, you are an inspiration to us all. Keep up the amazing work, and congratulations!

Atra has been an inspiration to me as Quaestor. Despite being a violent Canadian, Atra is one of those in Naga Sadow that people naturally gravitate to. His members, when Quaestor, could always get hold of him and rely on him to give them advice and support.
Add to that the countless times he's helped me and given me a reason to keep on working at Quaestor and Atra is one of those very special people who brings gold to every occasion.
I could think of no one else that deserves this Sapphire Blade.
Congrats, Atra. Ignore Locke, be my valentine. He sucks. :P

Atra is a delightful person to work with. His patience towards members when explaining things is something I definitely look up to and hope to one day equal. He is a great role model and a highly active member who contributes a lot to the Brotherhood community. Were it not for Atra, I would have been at a loss when I assumed the position of Quaestor after he stepped down. Looking at what Atra has done these past few months it is no wonder he is being awarded with the Sapphire Blade. Well deserved buddy! I am humbled to be a part of the recommendation for such an awesome person!
Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan

I am honoured to be recommending Atra for this Sapphire Blade, dude has been a pillar of activity and stability inside of Clan Naga Sadow and the brotherhood since I have been around, and during his time in office as QUA of House Shar Dakhan.
During his time as Quaestor Atra had to forge a new summit team, helping teach them and guide them in the ways of leading from Battleteam Leaders to the Aedile alike. He put a lot of time and effort into this work and the effort was clearly shown with the activity produced by the House. We had active members discussing fiction updates with one another, summits running competitions for their members. And a stable line of communication in a telegram group built for the House to work with. He stepped up when the clan needed him and took the mantle of Quaestor seriously. Rewarding members and reviewing activity of his house on a weekly basis.
For all his hard work and effort I want to congratulate Atra on this Sapphire Blade. Thank you for what you have done for Clan Naga Sadow. I look forward to seeing you continue your work inside of the Brotherhood.

Atra was hired to the Voice staff with a specific project in mind, one he is still working, in addition to several others, and awards for all that will come in time. Aside from these specific projects, everyone on the Voice staff has daily interaction with membership to process competitions approvals, organizer a run competitions, clusters of ice, and help create and approve character sheets. He has stepped up quicking making sound decisions and contributing to more than his appropriate share of these individual decision on a daily basis for the past five months.
It became apparent early on, and carried forward for several months as a Magistrate and eventually Praetor that he was quick to comment on even the most complicated and facepalm worthy of Character Sheet requests, approaching each with a level of patience and helpful advice excepted of everyone who represents the office. He excited volunteered and and agreed to take on tasks as part of the brick wall that is possessions, and has an attitude and level of professionalism I have come to appreciate and feel fortunate I have a chance now to comment on and support with a recommendation for award.
While I don’t have statistics on how many decisions and approvals he made over the past five months, his attitude and effort for the past five months has not gone unnoticed and has an impact on the entire Brotherhood. For all this I agree with and put my own support behind their recommendation for a Sapphire Blade. Congratulations Atra.
