Since his last recognition (an Anteian Cross in October of 2019), Shanree—or as most of us still know him, Vodo— has participated in 29 competitions, earning 2 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 1 Crescent with Sapphire Star, and 2 Crescents with Emerald Stars. In GJW XIV in 2020, he also earned a Silver Nova for his participation in the Taldryan clan run-on team, and in RoS: Escalation he won a Bronze Nova for one of his fiction entries.

In overall gaming, Vodo has completed 1 PvP match and 17 PvE activities, earning him 90 Clusters of Fire. In fiction, he's submitted 37,531 words in fiction entries and a further 7187 words in run-on posts, earning him 106 Clusters of Ice. Vodo has also run 9 competitions in that time, being the main driver behind the Telegram incarnation of Tal Trivia.

On the leadership front, Vodo stepped up as Ektrosis Quaestor after Appius' abrupt departure last year, holding the position for a total of 4 months, including during GJW XIV. In his leadership role, he was a major contributor to Taldryan's war effort. He rallied the Clan's members to participate in GJW XIV events, helped me organise the Taldryan RO and served as one of its "anchoring" writers (which were key to Taldryan winning the Silver Nova in that event), and even went so far as to press Benevolent and Driftan/Taig into service. He also took Appius under his wing upon Appius' return to the DB, acting as some combination of mentor and probation officer to ensure that Appius was prepared to take on the challenges of Quaestor after his return from his sudden resignation.

To commend him for his service to Taldryan, I hereby nominate Shanree/Vodo/The Dead One for a Grand Cross. Congratulations!
