Catmatui has been a wonderful example of what Taldryan hopes for from its Journeymen. Despite joining us later in the Crusade, she has been an example of someone that the Summit can count on for participation and activity. Having participated in a third of all the events she could have, Cat has also managed to earn her first Nova in the final round, a Gold Nova for the Advertising event.

Cat is a member who the Summit expects great things from, and I'm extremely proud to be awarding her a Steel Cross for her efforts on behalf of Taldryan.

Ah, Ben. What can you say about Benevolent Taldrya Whiner beyond the fact that is a man who clearly knows what is best for Taldryan, and then does it without hesitation. As the leader of the most talented, deadliest, and controversial Battle Team in the entire Dark Brotherhood, Benevolent constantly has his work cut out for him, managing the wildly rampant personas and activities of such an elite group. He does it without any spotlight, and he does it with a light hand. Despite all that extracurricular management he does, Benevolent managed to participate in half of all the events in the Dark Crusades, earning medals for a fifth of his entries. For that, I am happy to be awarding him this Anteian Cross.

Shaz'air Taldrya, otherwise and henceforth known as Sid, started off the Dark Crusades in the position I am currently in now, second in command of Taldryan. For the first few rounds of the Dark Crusades, Sid pushed Taldryan forward, finding ways to compete despite what can be at best be called a dodgy computer. Sid was the epitome of leading by example then, and even since his retirement from leadership, he has continued leading in the only way he knows how: by example.

Since stepping down from Leadership Sid has only stepped up his game, participating in more events, and encouraging the members even more. In total, Sid has participated in over three quarters of the events in the Dark Crusades, including near perfect participation on Taldryan's A-Team, and earning himself 8 Nova, placing in a full third of the events he participated in. For this, I am proud to award him a Steel Cross.

Part of me started to think of the song "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" when I decided to begin writing this award for Shadow. Here's the bottom line with this insane maven of DBness that is Shadow. He's been in seclusion from the main body of the Dark Brotherhood for well over half a year. Even before that, he wasn't the most social of people. But everyone knows who he is. Everyone knows that he's basically the finest writer that we currently have in the Dark Brotherhood, because he is. He's quite simply a force in the Dark Brotherhood.

Despite having to withdraw from the DB for a period during the Crusades, Shadow Taldrya still managed to participate in over two thirds of the events he was around for, and managed to earn a basically unheard of amount of nova for his efforts, earning medals in over half of all the events he submitted to, and winning exactly half of them. For being simply the best, I am happy to award Shadow Taldrya this Steel Cross.

Raist is what we call an old bastard in Taldryan. He's been with us in the good times, and the bad times. He's never left our side, and always supported Taldryan in everything it does. The Dark Crusades have been no different. Participating in a full third of the events available to him, and earning himself a gold nova in the process, Raist has continually been helping and guiding his young apprentice on, instilling the love and devotion for Taldryan that he himself has. For all he's done, and continues to do for Taldryan, I am proud to award him an Anteian Cross.

Carissus is yet another example that defines why Taldryan's future is glowing brighter and brighter all the time. Car's not the most vocal of members of Taldryan, but what he lacks in showmanship, he makes up for in great dedication and reliability. Carissus has been with us since the very start of the Crusades, and has managed to distinguish himself during the hectic pace to complete his trials and rise to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Despite that, he has never missed participating in a round of the Dark Crusades, participating in over a third of all events and earning a Nova for his efforts. Car's truly someone who I think of when I ponder the future of Taldryan, and the strength of our young Equite core. For all of his labours on behalf of Taldryan during the Dark Crusades, I am pleased to award him an Anteian Cross.

For his efforts in the Dark Crusades, participating in a quarter of the available events and placing in over a quarter of the events he participated in, I am hereby awarding Nero Inferni a Dark Cross.

Bubbsy has been fantastic during the Dark Crusades, pushing herself to ever greater levels of activity. Bubbsy is as close to an institution Taldryan has, and as such, has begun to shine as one of our brightest hopes. It's not just because she participated in half of the possible events in the Dark Crusades, and placed in a third of the events she submitted to, its because Bubbs has taken over the guidance and teaching of Taldryan's Journeymen as our Rollmaster. The performance of Taldryan's new members, is down to the sole fact that Bubbs has taken over, and is guiding our members forward, and for that, we are awarding her an Anteian Cross.
