Medal Request: Steel Cross Siyavash Kaida (6390)

A Steel Cross is awarded to a member whom aids their Quaestor or Aedile or provides mentorship, acting as a role model. In this instance, Siyavash did not aide her Quaestor, but her Consul. Through the turbulence of wide-sweeping changes in the Brotherhood, she has found a niche in Scholae Palatinae where she can excel as a mentor and role model.

Clan Scholae Palatinae recently attained the honor of Second Clan in the Brotherhood Vendetta "Rites of Supremacy: Second Darkness" compiling 330 Clan points - outstripping four rival Clans to affirm their right as an Elite Clan. For contributions, participation and tenacity to ensure the Clan's wartime efforts... I award Siyvash this Merit Award. Compiling 154 individual points in the Fiction & ACC Events and taking the rank of 24th Overall in the Vendetta.

Additionally, she has accrued a Seal of Loyalty, four (4) Seals of Darkness and a Topaz Crescent. But it is not just individual activity I wish to highlight. Since coming to Scholae Palatinae, Siyavash has been inquisitive, helpful and shown a desire to explore the Star Wars universe. She has helped in the mentorship of Xen as our Clan ACC Trainer - explaining to him the mechanics of instruction and leading a writer along a path from average writing to exceptional writing. She has made general, unobtrusive observations to our own Envoy System & Master-Student Program - helping with efficiency.

All of this, of course, during her tenure as Knight Commander of the Brotherhood. While I cannot quantify her work with the Brotherhood as a whole, I can attest to her impact on Scholae Palatinae during that time. While the Clan was thrust through a series of ups and downs at the position of Knight Class Envoy, Siya helped us maintain status quo until a suitable replacement was found. Along with this, she worked with, then Knight Adjutant, Rasilvenaira to help her grasp the complexities of balancing a diverse group of individuals (the collective KCEs of six Clans).

For individual contributions in the Vendetta, her work as a mentor to Xen & Silver, and her willingness to engage new, and old, members of the Clan to make a better community for everyone... I wish to present her with a Steel Cross.
