One of my first responders & military folks in the Clan. That right there deserves the highest amount of accolade in my book. For now though I would like to point out that despite military obligations Warlord Pel Tarentae has been able to compete in fifty seven comps, knocked out fifty one Shadow Academy courses earning twelve degrees. He contributed towards the CNS War efforts by knocking out two competition bins, bolstering the CNS overall total. His participation helped CNS to maintain a lead in overall participation rate throughout the War. I wholeheartedly recommend this award for all your contributions. Thank you for everything and congratulations on this accomplishment!

My trusted Magistrate and Guv'na,

There is not a day that goes by where I am not beyond thankful or happy that I selected you to be a part of the Taldryan summit. You have done nothing but prove my decision to be the correct one, with everything you have contributed towards the betterment of both your moon, Kasiya, and the Taldryan Republic at large.

You always chime in every opportunity you get, and you are never afraid to voice your opinion even when it directly contradicts the thoughts of others. Your contributions both in the Pro Bowl and the Great Jedi War have been amazing as well, bringing home both a Silver Novae and a Crescent with an Amethyst Star from the latter. You've also participated in 55 competitions, with more Crescents and clusters to boot, and contributed almost 150k credits to the Republic's cause!

On behalf of both myself and my trusty Pecan, we want to thank you for your contributions with this Sapphire Blade.

Congratulations, Celevon! Drinks are on you.

~Signed,
Lady Second Cassandra Oriana Tyris
Supreme Chancellor of the Taldryan Republic

Over the past 3 Months, Gui has been a major contributor to the Clan’s mission to bring everyone together and provide them with a family as they progress through their DB career. His continuous flow of ideas has kept things interesting and I look forward to seeing where he takes the Clan in the future. He is one of our biggest assets and more deserving of an award than anyone I know.

Since his last recognition, Gui has participated in 42 competitions earning himself 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 3 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 2 Crescents with Topaz Star, and 1 Crescent with Quartz Star. Additionally, he has run a successful RP mission where he contributed a total of 6235 words of fiction. He has posted 3 news posts and commented on 2, and accumulated 18 Clusters of Ice, 35 Clusters of Earth, 6 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Dark Side Scroll, and 2 Scroll of Indoctrination.

On top of all this, I would like to thank you for your contributions during the last war where you participated in 9 competitions.

As our most active contributor to the community, good friend, and even better leader I thank you for your efforts and congratulate you on this Sapphire Blade!

We are once again proud to award Jaftis with another monumental award for his performance since his last recognition. Having been dominating the Scimitar competitions for a total of 9 months and having 109 competitions (many of those from the ProBowl and GJW) under his belt, he is very deserving of this award. Over the past few months, Jaftis has been awarded 9 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 12 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 14 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 18 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 2 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 1 Crescent with Topaz Star and 3 Crescents with Quartz Star. Additionally he's earned 240 Clusters of Fire, 1 Cluster of Ice, 1022 Clusters of Earth, 55 Clusters of Graphite and passed 4 Shadow Academy Courses.

On top of all this, we would like to thank you for your contributions during the last war where you participated in 23 competitions and took home 4 Bronze Nova.

Thank you Jafits for all that you do! Congratulations on your Sapphire Blade!

Ricmore is like the gift that keeps on giving.... the clan credits that is. Since his last award, Ricmore has participated in 52 competitions, and 41 gaming events and earned 24 crescents. In the latest Vendetta, he earned a silver nova and was the third-highest-scoring member of the clan. Aside from that he is always ready to help member with his knowledge of the possessions system and assist me as Consul in fleet and military-related possessions questions. Congrats on your Sapphire Blade Ricmore.

Supposedly, Augustus bragged that he had found Rome a city of brick, and left it a city of marble. And that’s more or less where Zen is heading with regards to the Department of Writing. That department was in rough shape when he took it over. Most courses dated back years, over a decade in at least a few cases, and they had received minimal updates. Ciara and Erinyes had big plans for the department but real life removed them from the SA before they get could get very far along. Zen took on responsibility for the project, developed his own take on that plan, revised it again for the new HM, and has kept pace with my evolving megalomania vision for the SA.

In addition to the two courses recognized by his last Sapphire Blade, Zen was the sole author on Character Development. He developed an outline and wrote the 2041-word course notes and the exam with minimal assistance from me. On the contrary, Zen had to navigate our differing ideas and expectations for a Character Development course and revise his initial draft accordingly. The resulting course provides general principles and actionable advice that apply to almost every solo fiction, co-op fiction, run-on, or ACC match that a member would want to write. The quality of the course notes and the exercise-drive exam both reflect Zen’s professional experience as an educator and his personal experience with the subject matter and his extensive research through books, articles, and videos written by professional authors and screenwriters.

I like to think that every course we release is polished and professional, but sometimes it takes a while to get there from the first draft. Zen’s drafts, however, are always within a few Markdown tags of publishable, significantly reducing my workload as HM and allowing me to focus my energy on SA-level innovations. A mixed blessing, perhaps, as he would be getting an award for two new courses if not for one of Arch’s bright ideas bogging down the process. I suppose I’ll have to save that for my fourth SB rec for him.

Jenni is like a force of nature. Sure, you might be able to stem the tide and maybe put some space between you and her (like by using two spaces after each sentence as I am here), but inevitably she will come around and batter down your door to play Halo Infinite or start an RP. And now that she's truly gotten her feet wet with a Great Jedi War under her belt, she's starting to step up for more and more within Arcona and the Brotherhood as a whole. Even before XP, these were the marks of folks that deserved the sacramental awards, of which the Sapphire Blade was the first step.

So to our wonderful funderful Sagi, I hope that you enjoy this new shiny stabbin' implement and put it to good use. Just like I put all these post-sentence spaces to good use. Enjoy your Sapphire Blade!

I swear I could do this nearly once a month. Zoron remains as active as ever with 44 competitions participated in since his last award. This includes being the second-highest-scoring member of Clan Vizsla in the latest Vendetta. He has doubled up on everyone else the Clan Credits and honestly at this point I am running out of different ways to sing his praises. Congrats yet again Zoron on your Stabby!

Scientist Titius Osseus has reached the required 5125 Medal XP to earn their first Sapphire Blade.

Titius has really done a bang up job. He exploded onto the scene and has been the bomb ever since. I know that we can lob him into any situation and he’ll never give a fragmented job.

He’s a bomb. It’s a bomb pun. Cause everything explodes.

Moving on, Titius has been a force to be reckoned with ever since he joined. He’s always looking for ways to engage, especially finding his niche in the ACC and RPing. His studious actions in the SA put me to shame. Plus, he’s holding Ellac to task as I prepare to depart and I need to know someone is gonna get the rest of those limbs.

I’m very proud of all his accomplished and his continued growth in the clan!
