My jaw just about hit the floor when I saw that Strask has not been awarded a merit award in seven years. Since returning from the Rogues last August he has amassed a steady stream of activity including 320 Clusters of Earth, 34 Clusters of Fire, 6 Pendants of Blood, 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 2 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, and 1 Scroll of Indoctrination. He is easily one of the most active members of our House.

The Equite ranks are not just about individual activity. They are also about taking an active role in your unit, engaging with other members and forging your own path. Strask is a regular fixture in our Telegram channel. He recruited Sul Ip in November and has taken an active role with him as his Master. Strask is fast returning to his status as a core member of Tarentum, and we are proud to have him. His elevation into the ranks of the Equites is overdue recognition of his hard work over the past months as well as a commitment to continuing to grow as a friend, a leader and a Tarenti. Congratulations, Strask!

It has been almost 7 years since Strask's last promotion. In that time he has been Quaestor of House Tridens and Aedile of House Tarentum but most importantly he has been the Battle Team Seargent of Nekros Syndicate. He has helped Solas Night-Thorn turn the Battleteam into an active unit in little time.

He also provided various units of the Clan with cool 3D graphics for their logos which required 200+ man hours of meticulous work. He even found time to game with us in Diablo 3, helping me and Dox powerlevel to success.

Strask also earned two Dark Pundits in the Shadow Academy (Essentials and Vendetta) and has organized no less than 11 competitions and has participated in 20 competitions.

Strask just recently returned to Tarentum but despite some health issues and his new born baby just being born he has fulfilled his duties for Tarentum as he did in the past. Congratulations, Warrior Strask Rurra'bek!

Though his name is now Strask, I will forever call him Elols. I've seen him as a new member, as my one-time Aedile of House Tarentum, and as a returning core member of all that we are. Many of his most-selfless acts come in the form of amazing graphics; if all you see is "Ooh, shiny," then you ignore the already-mentioned hundreds of hours he puts into those. Elols is a giving man, and Tarentum is blessed of his generosity.

Elols is active, dedicated, and exhibits all of the quality traits we want to encourage and cultivate in all of our members. He is definitely one of our greatest examples. We love him, we are edified by his presence, and he absolutely deserves this promotion.

Congrats, pally!
