Consistent. Dedicated. Driven. These are the words I use to define one of Scholae Palatinae's most vocal, visual leaders and role models. And today, I hope to reward her efforts in generating activity, creating a positive environment and guiding those whom prosper under the banner of the triumvirate dragon. <br> <br> She has made selfless sacrifices on behalf of this Clan time and time again. Her first sacrifice was for Caliburnus, leaving her position of Aedile of Acclivis Draco to assume the same duties under Quaestor Thran Occasus. This tandem, or pairing, has created positive direction and helped the traditionally Sith House find its stability and prosperity. Her second sacrifice was the position of Clan Envoy, to further the efforts of the Knight's Society as the Knight Adjutant. This move was made to help strengthen the Brotherhood, and I believe her time under the KCB provided valuable insight into the Dark Brotherhood's overall structure; knowledge she applies to Scholae Palatinae.<br> <br> As both an Aedile and Adjutant, Rasilvenaira acted on the orders of her commander. She has compiled countless reports, done tasks of great import and some trivial, pursued ideas towards success or dead end... and done an outstanding job as a support leader. These tasks are often considered the 'heavy lifting' of maintenance and she does it all with considerable ease. <br> <br> You combine this with the outstanding level of activity she exhibits, and you have to wonder how one member can generate so much activity. What activity, exactly? Silver maintains success as an ACC Trainer/Judge, source of direction in mentorship, accrued over 2,100 cluster of fire in her career, prospered during her short tenure in the Grand Master's Royal Guard, six crescents (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald x3 & Quarts), six Pendants of Blood, submissions in 9 Clan Feud events against Arcona (a Clan best), a masterful part of the House Caliburnus Artifact run-on, participant of CSP's SIT dominance (CSP played more matches than the rest of the DB at one point) and Thran's everlasting aide in his fictional expanding of Caliburnus. <br> <br> Lastly, and most unnoticed by outside factions, is Silver's role in the CSP JA Training Program. She works, tirelessly, with Cethgus to ensure program integrity. As part of this, the team is in the final stages of a JA Guide & creation of a 12 week lesson plan for their course to provide rigidity. She hosts a class every Friday (without complaint) and participates in Cethgus' lessons every Monday! A tremendous feat in of its own!<br> <br> I believe this wide array of personal and professional activity, in conjunction with Thran's written point of view, merits the highest of honors: a Grand Cross.<br> <br> I know this token of appreciation does not cover all that you do, or the hassles Thran and I put you through... but consider it a down payment for the work you do in the name of the Clan. We hope you will continue to aspire for greater and greater heights - you truly are a special member and hold a special place in CSP... and our hearts.<br> <br> Krath Epis Braecen Kunar<br> Consul of Scholae Palatinae<br> <br> ------------------------------------------------------------<br> <br> I have worked with Rasilvenaira consistently since August of 2006. Though I do not wish to demean her current prowess, I took on a role as a mentor for her. She was an Aedile who had little guidance. Instantly, she took to lessons and worked openly with me. In the months that have passed since we first met, she has made gigantic strides in her leadership prowess. To begin with, she is a concise and dependable reporter. This task alone is something that is very difficult to accomplish. However, the improvements and work she has accomplished exceeds the praise of good reporting skills by a great margin. <br> <br> Rasilvenaira man-handled the House Wikipedia Page, earning it a place in the Featured Articles. The piece is well composed and details all the knowledge we have about the House. As a fun side-task, she completed portions of several more pages relating to her character history. This in itself is what really makes her stand out above the rest of the pack. Not only can she tackle large projects, but they are done in a timely fashion and she still manages to advance her character status without any slowing. I am often awestruck by what she can accomplish. As her Superior, I am half temped to use my political weight to make sure I always work with her from now on. She is diligent and extremely dedicated, but above all she is a confident and reliable Sith. I can not describe how little stress I get when working with her. The papers fly off my desk like they were in a gale. When ever a task is issued to her, it gets back to you in a flash. <br> <br> In one case, she helped me with the creation of the background information for the Caliburnus Run-on. Because of her work, I could easily compile all the documents and sent it for approval. Not only was it approved, the GM was so impressed it happened about 8 hours after I sent it in. She contributed many different pieces and went to great detail to describe the exact description of the image. Her work was spectacular and helped the house in an unfathomable way. This is only one example among many others, where she has made my life one million times easier.<br> <br> Above the domination of office management she displays, Rasilvenaira works hard in the ACC. As any of the ACC Staff would tell you, that is a task. Posting in multiple battles during any given time frame is a very difficult thing to manage. Yet, she can handle it. She routinely completes battles and is almost always punctual about it. Again, enjoying some free time, she often competes in other engagements for points. I am awestruck at her talent in writing complete posts.<br> <br> In relation to her writing skills, she has posted in all of the recent run-ons and has contributed greatly to the development of the plot. Her adventures include the House Caliburnus Quest for the Caliburnus blade and the Clan Feud with Arcona. She also routinely submits fictions and other competition entries. <br> <br> In short, Rasilvenaira is with out a doubt the biggest outside contributing factor to my own personal advancement. She makes every task simple and still finds time for fun. She is an excellent partner and one of the most dedicated members of the Clan. I would not be able to function as a Quaestor if it were not for her working along side me. She handles every task with skill and grace and for that I could not thank her enough. Congratulations Ras. I owe you one (or more). <br> <br> Sith Battlemaster Thran Occasus<br> Quaestor of House Caliburnus
