I have not know him for long, but since his arrival he has already thought of ways to improve House Imperium. In addition to his Grey Wolf work, I must simply clap my hands to this initiative. These sorts of ideas help drive the DJB forward and I give you my sincerest congratulations on your work so far.

Congrats on your Steel Cross and keep it up. I look forward to working with you in future. Well deserved!!

Caesar’s been a solid addition to CSP. He is an upstanding, good-hearted fellow with a great presence online. We are only newly acquainted but I know he was instrumental in a cross-clan cross-BTL alliance and competition that involved CSP’s Shadow Guard. These are the makings of a strong member and a promising future leader.

A hearty congratulations on your award, my friend!

When Caesar moved into Imperium and Shadow Guard in order to try a change of pace, he added a new perspective and strength that this battlemteam needed. He became a fruitful and inspiring member, rallying others to participate more. Despite not being a high-participating force in the CSP/CNS Feud, Caesar was still an inspiring and pleasant friend for his BT comrades.

Congratulations, Caesar! The drinks are on you!

Quaestor of House Imperium

In CSP, we all knew of Caesar before he joined the clan due to his work in co-hosting the joint event between Shadow Guard and Grey Wolf. Since coming here Caesar has constantly been looking for ways to improve the way we work, and has started a gaming channel to help co-ordinate our efforts in this area. It's great to have Caesar with us, and I look forward to seeing the other ideas he has coming to fruition in the future.

Congratulations Caesar!

Caesar. Leader, founder, innovator. It is thanks to him that Grey Wolf exists. His work put the team where it is today. Frankly, I think he should have gotten this a long time ago. I'm glad to see he is finally getting the recognition that he greatly deserves. I look forward to seeing what he manages in the future.

He was a great leader and will always be remembered in the history of the Grey Wolf Battle Team. Also, he was a part of why I choose to move into the position of Battle Team Leader, as he gave me one of the pushes I needed and gave me hope that anyone can move forward and lead no matter how inexperienced they may be.

Caesar has been a passionate and dedicated member since joining Scholae Palatinae several months ago. I had the pleasure of first getting to know Caesar when he expressed interest in fully utilizing his battle team, Grey Wolf, by having an alliance with another team. He and Delak hit it off and together planned quite the event for the two teams. It isn’t common to see someone constantly look for new ways to push the status quo and take their job so seriously and professionally. Thank you Caesar, and congratulations!

He was also instrumental in helping us bridge the gap and form the Shadow-Wolf Alliance between Shadow Guard and Greywolf. Good on ya boss.

In the years I’ve known Warp, I’ve found him to be a man of many talents. As Battleteam Leader of the Nighthawk, he has kept his members consistently engaged and active, supplying a slew of activities that leaves no one missing out on the opportunity to participate in the activities available to Dark Brotherhood members.

But one thing that Warp is passionate about is being a contributing member of the DB Gaming Community, and in that capacity, he has provided numerous competitions, not just for the Nighthawk, but for all of Arcona and the Dark Brotherhood itself to enjoy. I will let others speak about Warp’s contributions to the DB-wide Gaming Community. It is his impact on Arcona that I want to talk about today.

In every major DB-wide or Clan versus Clan event, there is one sphere of activity that always features in it, and those are the gaming competitions. With this in mind, Warp has created a series of competitions for his fellow members to participate in and sharpen their gaming skills at various platforms; Arcona Gaming Dominance.

The AGD event is a series of competitions that run for eight weeks and features various gaming platforms that is supported by the Dark Brotherhood in two parallel series, allowing our members to participate in virtually any platform they desire in the Free Play series of the competition; a Cluster Race in which all platforms are supported. The second series focuses specifically on various games for each week, oftentimes focusing on certain settings and modes that members might be weak in, other times favored settings in which fun is the ultimate goal.

The numbers speak for themselves. In AGD #1, there was a grand total of 17 participants, 16 competitions hosted, and 104 unique submissions! By any standard, this is an excellent outcome for a major Clan competition! AGD #2 is now under way, with 16 competitions currently set up!. I am very excited to see the results and everyone having fun with it! What I do know, though, is that due to his passion and ability to rally members, Clan Arcona continues to have over 2/3rds of the GMRG Top 9 each Quarter over the past Year.

A Sacrificial Blade is a recognition of one’s outstanding service to their Clan and/or to the Dark Brotherhood. For Rulvak ‘Warp’ Qurroc, it is in recognition for his hard work and passionate service for both Arcona and the Dark Brotherhood. And it is very well deserved! Congratulations, Warp! I look forward to seeing you reach even greater heights!

When I first met Warp I didn’t know how much of an impact he would have on my day to day life. Another member I was playing Destiny with (Esca/Arcia) grabbed his friend so we could play one of the weekly strikes. My first impression was “damn, this guy is good.” Time passed on and he had helped us finish an incredible amount of activities. He finally joined the Brotherhood and even then I still underestimated him. I thought he would just be there so we could submit clusters and not really participate in much else. How wrong I truly was. While Warp is one of the best gamers, especially in shooters, that we’ve got in the Brotherhood he has shone as a leader and producer.

On top of nonstop Telegram activity and grooming his Battleteam for success he recently ran an extremely successful Destiny event which had 19 unique participants across 8 competitions. This was a great help to the Fist Office, because of it’s popularity and our ability to focus on promoting additional games.

Warp is one of the most patient and helpful guys you’ll ever play with. He’s always willing to help you accomplish your goals. Since he was last recognized he has completed a multitude of Raids, Strikes, Crucible matches, and other activities that don’t award clusters. He has impacted an astounding 29 members within the Brotherhood including: Sarin, Turel. Celahir, Dracaryis, Mako, myself, and many others. This adds up to hundreds of hours helping us all gear up, reach that next light level, improve our skills, or just have fun.

We can’t thank you enough for all your contributions, Warp. I’m honored to help add this Sapphire Blade to your plethora of medals. Congratulations!

I don’t get to really chat with Warp much, don’t have too many chances to just sit down with the guy — but that’s not a bad thing. I don’t much chat with Warp because he’s always working on something. He’s always working to improve the gaming community and promote gaming activity somewhere and somehow. He’s not the type to be loud about this work, except to invite others to join him, participate, and find friends. He’s not the type to ask for or expect anything, except to see his fellow Brethren logging into Destiny or whatever other game, with their DJB gamer tag live, ready and raring to play and advertise our club. He’s the type of person who, at the end of the day, has quietly accomplished multitudes, whether it’s in bringing home Clusters, running his gaming competitions, or discussing specific gaming training and scheduled gaming nights in a thirty-something email chain. I don’t get to chat with Warp much, but when I do, it’s always to see him doing more of the same — good work, and dedicated work. We could ask for no more, and could give no less than is appropriate.

Congratulations on this Sacramental, my friend. And thank you.

The Sapphire Blade is awarded to those who show long term commitment and loyalty to their unit. Warp does this in a quiet way, letting his actions and consistency speak for themselves. On paper, his statistics support everything you look for in both a leader and battleteam leader. His reports are always informative, on time, and thoughtful. Beyond that, he is an invaluable facet of some of the DB’s most popular platforms. As a fellow Destiny player, Warp is always the first person to offer a hand to any member looking to get into Destiny. This willingness to help others adds to his stellar activity record, and leads him to have an endearing and positive impact on the Brotherhood Gaming community on the whole. When you think of gaming in Arcona, Warp has been the poster child and forerunner. He leads by example, and encourages others around him to do the same. And that’s what you look for when awarding a Sacramental.

Congratulations, Warp. I’m so proud of how you’ve grown as a member and leader from the time you decided it would be cool to join this crazy club just to get credit for Destiny. You’ve become a big part of the unit, and the larger club, and I’m proud to serve alongside you in Clan Arcona as a classmate and friend.
