Rian Aslar. By far one of the most active members Taldryan has to offer, he makes me happy to be a leader of Taldryan. Having served as Battle Team Leader under me once before, I know what kind of a drive he brings to the table; and it's an amazing one, at that. Rian participated in several events during the vendetta, bringing his Order that much closer to victory. He placed in a single event, earning himself a Silver Novae. Always out and about, it's rare that you will not be able to reach Rian via IRC or email. Even before Disorder took place, he recieved both a Ruby Crescent as well as an Emerald Crescent for placing in the 'Load the Can(n)ons!' events run by The Voice of the Brotherhood, Halcyon Taldrya. In my time as his Aedile (two seperate occasions actually), I've come to consider him a friend to me. Already, he is shaping up to be one of the finest leaders Taldryan has produced, and that will only grow in time as he reaches new heights. I believe it is rare for a Battle Team Leader to show the promise this Knight has. Keep up the great work Rian, both as a participant and a leader. You're a hell of an example.<br> Anubis Annedu, Aedile of House Taldryan, Tribune<br>

Now this guy here is where the real money is. Rian participated over the course of September in 2 Fiction competitions, Load the Cannons and Load the Cannons #2, each of which he placed in earning an Emerald Crescent and a Ruby Crescent for his outstanding work. Shortly afterward he came into the Vendetta Disorder swinging for a knockout. Participating in 7 total events Rian secured his spot as one of the most active members within Taldryan, placing 3rd place in one of those events to give himself a Silver Nova. <br> As if activity were not enough for Rian, he also performed his duties as Battleteam leader. Running competitions and emailing his members are mere second nature to him, and is something that every leader should be accustomed too, something that Rian capitalizes on without effort. Every member has rough spots when it comes to balancing real life efforts and the Brotherhood, most of which are the leaders. This member balances a hectic work schedule to come home and lead his Battleteam as if he had all of the time in the world; I feat only a true leader manages. <br> His ideas of leading by example on the battlefront are more than stellar, and I hope this award will help show the members in his BT exactly what a true leader should be like. I have remained stunned at just how productive Rian has remained, and I will not be surprised if he moves onto the Dark Council in the next few years. Rian, take this Grand Cross of the Dark Side from your Brothers and Sisters in Taldryan with open arms, you’ve earned it. <br> -Quaestor Shaz’air Taldrya

Anubis has been nothing short of a blessing to Taldryan since his return. As a leader, it was my joy to have someone who could be counted on to not only do a project, but get it done on time, satisfactorily, and above all reasonable expectations! This commitment to sacrificing his own time so that the members of our Clan can benefit is exemplified in the amount of work he has completed not only on my wiki projects but that of the entire DB’s! Normally, the completion of a project warrants a merit award, but I am asking that you consider some of the following.<b> While Consul, it was my sole goal to update, revitalize, and revamp the planets and planetary systems that Taldryan possesses. I wrote up a short document for system detailing each planet and then assigned the work to my then Proconsul Vorion and my then Aedile of House Ektrosis, Anubis. Anubis jumped at the chance, took to the work with much enthusiasm and had the Proconsul asking me for specific assignments he could do that Anubis hadn’t already taken care of. Over the course of my tenure as Consul, the Rybanloth and Kr’Tal projects came together piece by piece with his meticulous efforts. Images, information, and pages all come to and through him and became one. Without his work on these projects, I would not have seen their completion!<br> Also, just as the Clans became houses, Anubis of his own accord compiled the Taldryan Security Service’s OOB into several useful and helpful wiki pages, revamping the existing OOB but also assigning the ground forces into units, brigades, companies and the like. His work in organizing the ground forces, it was pointed out to me by the Justicar and former Taldryan Consul, that it rivaled the amount of work he himself put into the Naval forces years ago after the Tempest Bravo reset. <br> Mind you that Anubis has been, and continues to be, the Aedile and second-in-command to House Taldryan while he completed these projects. As a leader, I found him to be very responsible, highly motivated, and of a higher caliber than most members. Anubis is sharp, vocal, and intelligent; a nice counter-balance to the Proconsul I had for much of my term as Consul. <br> For his work in aiding and furthering Taldryan’s considerable fictional background, for his trepid desire to work for others, and for the leadership he’s shown over the past year, I recommend that this Sapphire Blade be awarded to Anubis Aneddu. Congratulations Anbu.<br> ~Vodo Biask Taldrya<br> <br> Here is where I get right into it. Anubis Annedu is by far the most active member in Taldryan, and even more assuredly one of the most dedicated members and/or leaders this Brotherhood has seen in recent years. His dedication to fulfilling projects and seeing members to find their niche in this club is hardly paired by anyone I’ve seen in action. I’ve heard stories of the greats in the past and what they’ve done for the Brotherhood, and looking at the direction Anubis is going, he too will be one of those members people look back on in the future as one of those “greats”. <br> As such, it is only right that I give an example(s) as to what exactly he has done to merit this award, and I hope it will be used by other members reading this recommendation who wish to be a productive, outstanding member and leader. <br> Before becoming Wiki Tribune, and well before being appointed Aedile of Taldryan Anubis was tasked with by the then CON of Taldryan, Vodo Biask Taldrya to help with updating the well outdated Kr’Tal system information via the wiki. Vodo supplied details for Anbu and his PCON to get working on the project; Anubis dug right in. Tirelessly Anubis worked through this project in a fast-paced fashion, his work load being close to doubled as he ended up working on the rest of the Kr’Tal system and Rybanloth system revamps/edits by himself, a sign of his true dedication to a project that when started appeared as a dismal/daunting task that was not going to end shortly. Nearly a couple of months later, the brotherhood had shifted its way of leadership, and I stepped up to the spot of QUA of Taldryan. Anubis shortly came knocking on my door with a finished and ready-to-launch Newly Revamped Kr’Tal system. I sent it to select members within Taldryan, and they approved it within a heartbeat. <br> One large-scale project completed, Anubis began to work on other small projects I had tasked him with, and shortly thereafter I received the blessing of Grand Master Muz to appoint Anubis to Aedile of Taldryan after hosting applications. Anubis eagerly stepped up and quickly began work on the newly released Ground-Forces Reset, turning it from mere text on a spreadsheet to full on Regiments, Companies, Battalions, etc. on the DJB Wiki. Once again I submitted his work to Select Taldryan members, and once more they approved, this time making mention of the sheer professionalism that the documents held. <br> As if his two accomplishments for his House were not enough, Anubis continues to push forward with his duties as Aedile (And now Tribune of the Wiki). Reports are found near-every two weeks, emails spew across the Tal’ mailing list, and IRC is constantly flooded with his name on the nicklist and it is rare that an event on the Message Boards go unnoticed by Anubis’s prowling eyes. <br> During the Vendetta “Disorder” Anubis brought pride to his home by competing in 7 events for his Order. Though he did not place in any of the events he participated in, it’s not the placement that counts the most, rather the effort. During the war Anubis kept his house updated on the events that were ongoing for their respective weeks. He was also found on IRC pumping up activity where necessary, along with conversing with other members in his Order to work out events. It was clear that Anubis knew his role in leading by example.<br> Over the course of August-September Anubis earned himself 9 Dark Side Scrolls for work done on the Dark Jedi Brotherhood Wiki. This included edits, fixing links, images, official Taldryan House articles, along with his Character Article being nominated for DJBWikipedian of the month. It’s no wonder why Anubis was chosen as Tribune of the Wiki, as he clearly knows it inside-and-out. I feel overshadowed sometimes with the knowledge about some of the various aspects of the DJB that he knows. <br> Anubis is constantly being one of the lead factors to how we rule over our House and home, House Taldryan. Running competitions and writing reports are second nature to him, and being there for his members and other members of the Brotherhood are just some of the things he capitalizes on during a daily basis. I could not be the leader I am without my Aedile, and Anubis is the perfect example of what a good Aedile is and should be. Other Houses aren’t fortunate enough to have such an active, competent AED leading them. Anubis displays his love for this club day in and day out, whether it be running a DJB wide Bryar Bowl, or opening up the option for members to create report graphics for him, or just hanging out on IRC with other members who share the same love. To be honest, I am surprised Anubis has not received an award like this before. Other Houses neglected what special qualities he has, so I hope that this award displays a small bit as to what Anubis truly is worth. <br> Anubis man, this has been a long time coming, and each time I wanted to award you for your hard work you kept starting more things. Finally, I bit the bullet. You deserve this bro, and don’t let all of that text above puff up your head anymore than it is already. ;)<br> -Quaestor Shaz’air Taldryan

Reiden offered his services and time to me for wiki work, and I suggested he take on my own wiki, spell checking it and checking grammar. He spent several days and multiple hours doing it. After he was done, my wiki has never looked so neat and correct. Thanks Reiden!

To Whom it May Concern: DJK Reiden Karr has shown some outstanding loyalty and dedication over the last several weeks. As defined by the wikipedia entry, the Anteian Cross is award to those who have shown a consistent and dedicated service to one’s Battleteam or House. This statement perfectly defines Reiden. First off, Reiden is a very active member of the IRC community we have, something we try to instill in members but often falls short. In the house channel it is not uncommon to see Reiden participating in any number of discussions as well as asking for ways to help out.

That brings me to the main reason for this recommendation. Reiden has run multiple competitions for both the battleteam he is in (where he is a member and not the BTL) as well as a few for the house, including a follow up fiction to the most recent Vendetta, Disorder. It IS uncommon to see a member go above and beyond to create competitions and events for his follow housemates with out being in a leadership position. This is incredibly admirable and Reiden sets a great example.

Leading off from him looking for ways to help out, Reiden took the incredible task of editing and proof reading the character wikis of several members of the house. These include the character articles of Kael Fayne, Archangel and myself. My article alone in a word processor is at over 10 pages single spaces. And when you look at both Kael’s and Archangel’s wikis you may understand what a long and difficult task this was. Both of those articles are so long they had to be split up into multiple sections.

I believe all this clearly illustrates the high level of commitment and service Reiden has. He is more then deserving of this Anteian Cross. Drinks are on you Reiden, Congrats!
