It has been almost six years since Darcy Avarik has received any sort of recognition for his work in the Dark Brotherhood, and that is far too long for the level of consistent activity that he has put forth in that time period. His activity hits practically every facet of our club: he's participated in 92 total competitions since his last recognition, earning four Crescents, 39 Seals, and most importantly a Silver Nova in GJW XIV; he's written over 9,000 words of fiction and over 2,000 words in Runons; and he's earned multiple Clusters and Pendants of Blood. He's also served capably in leadership as a Battleteam Leader in Vizsla for nine months and a Quaestor in Odan Urr for six months, filing unit reports and even more importantly organizing/co-organizing 20 competitions. I'm proud to recognize Darcy for all of his efforts, and want to be the first to congratulate him on this deserved, if somewhat tardy, Sapphire Blade. Congrats!
