I gladly recommend Werdna Elbee of House Dinaari, Clan Taldryan for promotion to the rank of Krath Archpriest. It has been nearly two years (4/02/2006) since Werdna was last promoted and since that time he has contributed much to the First Clan of the Brotherhood, although one would have to dig a fair bit to find what he has done. In terms of gaming Werdna has racked up a ton of activity by earning 319 Clusters of Fire since his last promotion - that is more gaming than many members of the Brotherhood will do in their entire careers - and just imagine how many games he had to play to earn all of them! In addition to his extensive gaming, Werdna has earned several merit awards and helped Taldryan retain their title of First Clan by participating in several Brotherhood Vendettas (earning much coveted Novae along the way). He has participated in a large amount of competitions in which he earned a fair few Crescents and on top of all that he served brief stints as a staff member of both the Fiction and Gaming departments of the Brotherhood. I'm sure there are a lot of other things Werdna has done for Taldryan and the Brotherhood since he was last promoted although I've only been around for half of that time myself.

In terms of communication Werdna has a steady (if not slightly irregular) presence on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) in addition to random activity on the forums and through e-mail. Werdna has been a constant presence in both Clan Taldryan and the Brotherhood for a long time now (his PIN is #293 if that tells you anything). Loyalty is a tough thing to find in this environment and Werdna has certainly proved that he's full of it - in fact I'm surprised he's gone this long without recognition. As is well known, Clan Taldryan has some of the most stringent award criteria in the entire Brotherhood and a lesser person would have jumped ship. In recognition for long-term contributions to Clan Taldryan (and the Brotherhood) I am proud to help elevate Werdna Elbee to the rank of Krath Archpriest. Congratulations!

I still remember Werdna's work within Dinaari; in the end I'm still very thankful for that. After he stepped down from Aedile I wasn't sure if he would stick with us or just fizzle out, but here we are nearly two years later and the man has stepped up for the Clan in a Clan Feud with Arcona, in two Great Jedi Wars, and the Rite of Supremacy: Second Darkness event. In and out he's been active on IRC, on the forums, participated in numerous competitions and trivia events, then of course the already mentioned Vendettas which he took home 11 Nova. In this time I've seen only loyal dedication and support for his Clan, it's about time we recognize that with an elevation to the rank of Archpriest. Congratulations on this well earned promotion!

For Taldryan,
