The recent CNS-HSP-PLA Feud would have not occurred had it not been for the efforts of Tra’an. It was he who got the ball rolling between the units for the feud to begin, and it was he who kept it on track while preparing for the feud. Tra’an made sure people were focused on what was to come.

The Feud was in all ways, Tra’an baby. After getting the participating units involved, he led the discussion on the plot. He was the one who took on the increcibly heavy task of writing the fictional accompaniment of the 3 week long feud. It was Tra’an who went to Halc and Ronovi to get assistance for grading the Runons and Wikipedia competitions. Nearly all the competitions of the feud also began as Tra’an’s ideas with revisions based on what the rest of us participating leaders thought.

Even through all of this, it was also Tra’an who led the grading efforts and keeping score for each of the three units. Running and keeping track of a single unit event is hard work. Add two more units and it gets much more complicated. Tra’an did everything he could to insure a good fun and well run Feud.

Tra’an sacrificed a lot of time and effort not only over the three weeks of the feud, but in the weeks leading up to it and once the feud was finished to fully round out the event. I am glad to help award him this Grand Cross for his tremendous efforts.

Running an inter-House feud is no easy task. It requires a lot of work and dedication. Recently, Tra’an Reith has shown that he has the dedication and ability to organize a feud and run it. For the recent feud between House Plagueis, House Scholae Palatinae, and Clan Naga Sadow, Tra’an originally came up with the idea. He reached out to other unit leaders and proposed the feud. Tra’an presided over the initial communications within the group as we devised the fiction.

During the actual feud, Tra’an took charge and led our group in the bulk of the judging. He handled each fiction update himself for each week, which was a lot of work. I personally am thankful that we had Tra’an working on this project. It’s important to note that none of us had ever done an event like this before, and Tra’an took care of a lot of unforeseen work and issues that came up. He was always around and frequently available for any questions, and handled any issues quickly and efficiently. Tra’an demonstrates admirable cool-headedness, reasoning, and punctuality, and these traits help make him a great example for his peers.

Without Tra’an’s leadership and determination, this feud might never have been a reality and may have never succeeded. I would like to recognize Tra’an for the work he has done and say thank you for all the effort he has put into this by helping to award him this Grand Cross. Thanks, Tra’an!
