Primary reason

For the better part of my first year as Herald, Maximus Alvinius (aka Landon) was a major contributor to the Office and a critical part of our quarterly release schedule. Working often times under extremely tight deadlines, Landon delivered a quality of work that was often unparalleled over the history of the office. His first major release was for the Quarter 2 of 2018, corresponding to the release of the film Solo: A Star Wars Story. Despite being given the assignment in mid-May with a release date target of the first week of June while having very little in the way of reference materials (given that the movie would not itself be released until a week before the release was due to go live), Landon delivered 20 robe images for the Mudtrooper armor for the Q2 release. Then, for our Quarter 3 release the theme that was chosen was The Clone Wars following the announcement of the upcoming new season of the revived show. Landon delivered 50 individual robe images across three unique item variants, all of Clone trooper armor. Suffice it to say without those items and Landon's skill in creating them, the Clone Wars release would likely not have happened. In addition to the items he created for the two quarterly releases he contributed to, he also worked closely with members on custom skin requests and delivered three custom weapons and a custom set of robes as well. Landon is responsible for some of the finest work I've had the pleasure of delivering to the Brotherhood under my tenure, and has more than earned this recognition through his efforts. Well done!

Additional reasons

It is my pleasure to acknowledge the energy and hard work put forth by Maximus Alvinius since his last recognition. Whether it be competitions or the occasional community chatter, he continues to contribute to Odan-Urr despite his busy schedule. He has participated in 20 competitions, organized 7 competitions, 12 PvP matches, 1 PvE matches, 1 Fiction Activity worth 558 words, 1 SA course passed, 1 news post, and 6 news comments. During that time, he obtained 1 Bronze Nova, 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 1 Pendant of Blood, 49 Clusters of Fire, 1 Cluster of Ice, 16 Clusters of Graphite, 9 Seals of Fury and 3 Seals of Discord. Of note, his Phase I efforts during this recent GJW earned him two placements: 3rd place in the Hearthstone PvP Ladder and 9th in the Phase I Graphics calling card.

In addition, Maximus served two months as Quaestor, successfully continuing to lead Satele Shan. A few things of note. First, he ran a successful house event called Shadow of the Kesaret, a 9 competition event covering trivia, PvP, comics, run-on, fiction, PvE, Mobile/Flash gaming, and graphics. In addition, he got a good number of his House to participate. Second, he also created a competition to award the most active Shanite, which got high participation. Third, he continued to update House wiki pages, his contributions totaling 4 minor updates for awards and member updates.This was the tail end of his term of Quaestor but he remained strong till the end of his term. I’m incredibly proud of his contributions to his House while he was a Quaestor.

Thank you so much for the energy you put in your Clan, whether it be a leader or a regular member. On behalf of each and every Odanite, I recommend that Maximus receive a Sapphire Blade as a token of our appreciation. Congratulations and well done! :D

Maximus Alvinis, when I hear that name I think of strong leadership and high activity. I had the pleasure of being Maximus' Aedile during his term as Quaestor and while we did not always see eye to eye on everything he worked hard to make sure that the members had the best experience possible and were active. The Shadow of the Kesaret event was a great example of his leadership commanding a house and generating that activity that kept giving more momentum. He gave everyone including himself a task and frequently checked in on progress during the design and implementation of the event and the event was a hit. It was one of the most successful House events I can recall. It is my pleasure to recommend Maximus Alvinis for a Sapphire Blade. Congratulations my friend well earned!
