Rayne continues to be a shining star amongst Scholae Palatinae. No pants escape her sight, no sign left un-offical. Her recent placement in the ProBowl shows that she's a top contender amongst the wider DJB. Beyond her competitive activity she continues to work steadily on the Scholae Palatinae wiki updates coming out of our Dark Times Saga conclusion and, in some cases very long, overdue updates and simplifications.
In addition, she's found herself on the GMRG Top 10 quarterly finishers again (the DC must like her for some reason, I think it's cause it's an offical role).
Congratulations Rayne!

Teebu continues to prove himself to be what I am going to call a "Taldryan Workhorse." No matter what, he's always working on something, and that speaks volumes of his character not just as a member of Taldryan, but of the Brotherhood as a whole. Whether that is doing the copious amount of wiki work he volunteers to do, that I then also add onto (more on that below), hosting RP's, or hosting competitions of his own for the Clan.
Speaking of that, Teebu has hosted a total of 37 competitions since his last award. Those competitions included co-hosting the Project Vos: Senate City Edition series of comps with me, and hosting the Formation of the Taldryan Republic Fleet where members got to name ships in the fleet after Teebu, and a couple others, worked hard on reforming the fleet.
I mentioned Teebu's wiki work, and this little Ewok is a whizz at creating articles. He's been on a crusade updating, creating, rewording, and reworking Taldryan wiki pages so that they can be ready for the next major Taldryan events. This has been a long project. He has created pages such as the Jafan Sloven Wiki Page, the 19th Saber Imperial Remnant wiki page, updating the Chyron, Kasiya, Orth, Ostara and so much more! In the last few months alone, Teebu has made more than 500 edits or creations summing up hundreds of hours of work to ensure Taldryans wiki pages are the best they can be.
In terms of participation numbers, Teebu has participated in 82 competitions, including 100%ing the Pro Bowl, coming second overall! He's written OVER 9000 words of fiction, nearly 14,000 words in RP posts, and has passed 3 SA courses. In terms of awards, he has earned the following;
Gold Nova x1
Bronze Nova x1
Crescent with Diamond Star x2
Crescent with Ruby Star x5
Crescent with Amethyst Star x4
Crescent with Sapphire Star x2
Crescent with Emerald Star x1
Crescent with Topaz Star x2
Seal of the Master for getting Valkyrie to Knighthood.
To say Teebu is a busy little Ewok is an understatement. I thoroughly appreciate his hard work, and am proud to award him a Sapphire Blade for his efforts! Congratulations , Teebu!

Before I even accepted his application as Magistrate to the Regent, Teebu was instrumental in helping me put together the surprise "Capital" item booster to coincide with my post-GJW goodies and report, taking even my own staff (who are all clan summit members) by surprise, and a nice surprise at that. We completed that booster release in a staggering 48 hours time from start to finish, making it the fastest booster release we've ever put out and providing additional content for the clans to purchase.
Since then, Teebu has proposed 42 new CIS items that he is slowly working on filling out for system-addition-consideration for, and has been active in all of our systemic and item discussions along the way, the most recent being our discussion on lightsaber-proof materials and how (if at all) we wish to include them in the system.
Teebu did things, now Teebu gets reward.

You'd think that when one becomes an Elder of the Brotherhood, one would decide to slow down, chill out, reduce the number of duties and activity that they do.
I'm happy to say that this is not the case with Zentru’la. He's the type that will not go in unless he gives it his 110%, which is admirable for a member of the club that has been around as long as he has. My case in point? He holds two positions as Praetor to the Voice, and a Shadow Academy Proffesor, though there will be more on his work in those positions from the Voice and former Headmistress respectively.
In terms of activity; Zentru’la has competed in 40 competitions since his last award, and has earned the following;
Crescent with Ruby Star x4
Crescent with Amethyst Star x2
Crescent with Sapphire Star x3
Crescent with Emerald Star x3
Last from me, he was a big component on Taldryan gaining its identity as a Republic. He was one of the vocal voices that pushed for the Clan having a theme of its own to identify within our little pocket of the Brotherhood.
So, from me, Zen. Thank you for all your hardwork, and enjoy giving (I'm assuming Madakado) a new shiny stabby thing!

Zen jumped onto Voice Staff with much gusto, something I remain eternally grateful for. With our continued backlog of projects. Zen remains a driving voice in ensuring all of #TeamVoice continues to push forward in its many duties for this club. It is thanks to his help, several major projects have gotten completed, along side others still in progress.
In terms of general Voice Duties, Zen has been a helpful eye on all of our queues, and involved on the discussions for the many sheets that come through. For sheet reviews, he has processed 93 sheets for approval (~13% of all manual sheet approvals in this time) along side some 22 remands. He is also active on discussion threads even when the sheet isn't one he is maining for processing. His reviews also come in handy with the competition queue, verifying those word counts, and upon occasion helping process Role Playing clusters from discord.
His main strengths however remain in the realm of project work. Thanks to his efforts we were finally able to fill out the feats projects, and review all 463 active feats in our system. His efforts helped cut weeks of time it would have taken for me to do it alone.
His second major venture was the refresh of all of our club’s non-member NPC characters. This included reviewing old fiction for those deceased in the narrative, ensuring they each had proper and expected owners in our system (be it factions, clans, or voice staff owned for things like SA training). He also went and reviewed them for invalid sheets, helping ensure all of these NPCs were up to snuff with the current set of available options. This covers 201 faction/voice-owned sheets along with all of the Clan owned sheets.
While there are still many things still being worked on, Zen’s efforts on Voice Staff has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. He has truly helped improve the fiction related activities for this club, and has been a massive aid to my own sanity.
Congrats Zen, and thank you for your continued efforts!
Lord Idris Adenn, 2022-10-29 23:32:02 UTC
The nicest thing Ciara did for me was leave an excellent staff in place, with Zentru'la as one of the highlights. Although I have only worked with him for a month or so, Zen is already a model of the direction I want to take the Shadow Academy. He does his baseline professor job, grading 14 courses since his last recognition, but he also leaves the SA to take his subject area to the members. Zen is the only SA staff to issue reports, which cover writing advice and best practices, and the only one to run competitions for his subject area. He genuinely cares about writing in this club and is proactive about raising both the quality and quantity of it, as attested by his Voice work. Although I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute to an award just yet, I look forward to many more recommendations to come.

Centam is, quite frankly, an activity machine. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say he is Taldryan's most active member, and I say that with admiration and pride.
Why do I say that? Because his activity numbers are simply insane. In just over 3 months since he was promoted, he's managed to compete in 102 competitions, some of which were from the most recent Pro Bowl. He's an avid fiction writer, having fought an ACC battle against me. He's written in total 5551 words of fiction and a further 1566 words in RP posts.
In terms of awards for those competitions, here's what he has won;
Crescent with Diamond Star x1
Crescent with Ruby Star x5
Crescent with Amethyst Star x11
Crescent with Sapphire Star x12
Crescent with Emerald Star x3
Crescent with Quartz Star x1
On top of this, Centam has completed 11 Shadow Academy courses and earned 6 degrees! He organised a competition, The Good Old Days.
It's mind-blowing how much activity Centam has pulled together in the time since his promotion. I'm proud to be able to recommend him for a Sapphire Blade for his spectacular efforts!

My man Kanal is one of the most active members in Clan Vizsla. From running competitions to participation he doesn’t miss a beat. He has been Questor of House wren going on 12 months in total, 8 months of which are since his last recognition, a Promotion back in January of this year. His leadership ability is without question, mentoring first Brimstone and now Chrome as his Aediles not just to do their respective jobs but to be able to take over his spot. I will get to the rest of his accomplishments as a leader here in a bit but first his general activity.
In the past 8 months, he has competed in 36 competitions and organized or co-organized 21. A regular member in gaming he has earned 67 clusters of earth. Kanal is over 7000 words of fiction and has taken to the clan RP sessions with vigor totaling another 1692 words of fiction in them. He was one of Clan Vizsla’s top performers in the last Great Jedi War completing 16 events.
Always active in clan discussions he also ran the last Great Hunt which was a huge success and lasted nearly 3 full months. This was a huge effort with fiction prompts and a very nice storyline. On top of that, he has been one of my main guys for the creation of storylines and ideas for developing the clan. His input and help in the creation of the Vizsla main base on Daemunn have led to Vizsla finally having a true home.
Most important though he contacts his members regularly via email and has seen some nice growth in House Wren that I attribute to his efforts at engaging his members and encouraging them to do all the things. He is constantly looking for ways to improve his members and really all of the vizsla members' experience in this club. He awards members as they earn things not because I say it needs to be done but because he genuinely cares and takes his job seriously. In short, Vizsla is a better place because of him and I can find no higher praise to give someone than they make the clan and house better because they are here.
The Sapphire Blade is awarded for general activity but also for long-term service to one's Clan. Kanal has done both admirably. This is Kanals first Sacramental award. The first of many I hope and I am honored to recommend him for it. Thank you, Kanal for all you have done and will continue to do.

Raiju Kang, though a recent arrival to the Ascendant Clan (or recent returnee?) has demonstrated that he is the sort of consistent, reliable producer of activity in the seven months since his last recognition. With competitions both entered and hosted, he has driven activity personally and for other members, and he has been a positive and engaged contributor to our little corner of the Brotherhood community since landing feet first in Plaguies.
Individual activity wise, Raiju has entered 92 competitions since his last recognition, placing in 31 of them. Those placements netted him 3 Diamond, 7 Ruby, 9 Amethyst, 7 Sapphire, 4 Emerald, and 1 Topaz crescent (stopping short of the elusive Quartz!). His nine gaming activities earned him a total of 23 Clusters of Earth as well as 20 Clusters of five. His 1,936 words of fiction contained within 2 fiction activities also brought him 5 Clusters of Ice. He was, apparently, tearing it up in the realm of Brotherhood graphics, however, with 49 Clusters of Graphite for his work in that arena. A nearly fifteen year veteran, Raiju also proved that it is never too late to go back to school while passing 26 Shadow Academy Courses and earning 5 different Dark Side Degrees (2 Pundits, and then one each of Maven, Savant, and Sage). Additionally, he also hosted a warm up event for his former home of Clan Odan-Urr in the lead up to the recently Completed Great Jedi War, with nine sub-vents that helped his clanmates better prepare for the struggles of a Brotherhood Vendetta by offering things such as events like Battleplan rarely seen outside of the Vendetta setting. His ten total hosted competitions show that he is one to offer opportunities for his fellow members, not just one content to sit back and consume so to speak.
It is my great honor to recognize Raiju for his work in the Brotherhood as the current Consul tasked with the job. I know Odan-Urr must have felt lucky to have his contributions through the first half of 2022 as well, as I am sure they will expand upon. Thank you, Raiju, for your continued devotion to all the parts of our Dark Jedi Brotherhood!

Raiju is a powerhouse with his activity, as detailed above, and has consistently demonstrated a strong community mindset. Nothing had shown this more than when he came to me early on about organizing a series of competitions that would get the Clan geared up for GJW XV. COU Prepares For War ran for two weeks. Each week was a phase and included event-long competitions as well. Using trivia on the current war fictions, a puzzle, flash game, fiction, battleplan, and graphics, he presented the members with what they’d likely see once wartime began. The Clan hit the ground running due to his diligence, and with his help, we hit a record number of participants.
Additionally, Raiju took part in our weekend community events, but not just as a participant. He hosted a total of 4 gaming events in the months of April and May, mostly SWTOR heroics and flashpoints, and had also introduced us to a new one, One Night Werewolf, which had a pretty impressive turnout.
Thank you, Raiju, for your efforts while under our roof. Congratulations on your Sapphire Blade!
Ambassador Revak K'Urr, 2022-07-28 01:25:05 UTC
In addition to what has been covered by others I would like to highlight Raiju's contributions that the site does not necessarily track. I had the pleasure of serving as Raiju's proconsul during most of the period since his last recognition and I cannot echo Selika's comment about what an asset Raiju is to a unit enough. It's not every day a unit gets a wise and experienced leader like Raiju who is passionate about the member base and helping develop young leaders.
Proposals, by their very nature, do not always see the light of day but that does not diminish the thought and effort that go into them. Raiju stepped up to try to help mentor a relatively young house summit with content ideas, worldbuilding and more concrete initiatives like his war prep competition series. He will continue to be an asset to the membership of the Brotherhood as well as any staff or unit he is a part of.

Our most active Aussie, Darcy (Denath) is a prime example that being on the opposite schedule as most of the Brotherhood is no real obstacle. He gets on Discord and chats with us most days despite the time difference. He has served as Aedile for 9 months now and has never skipped a beat. I will go over his participation numbers below and outline the work he has done for Vizsla.
Since his last recognition, Darcy has competed in 65 competitions (76 including containers). During the latest GJW, he was the highest scoring member of the Clan and earned a Silver Nova. Aside from that he has earned 7 Crescents, 14 Clusters of Ice, and 6 Clusters of Graphite. And just because we are all about the credits here in Vizsla he has earned the clan 219800 credits during that time. Last is the 6 Shadow Academy courses he passed.
Aside from his stellar activity in participation in Competitions, he completed a huge project for Clan Vizsla in the development, writing, and implementation of the Kandosii Casino It’s level of quality is outstanding even down to fine details. It was a large undertaking and he executed it flawlessly.
Last but not least is the work he does as Aedile of House Deathwatch. He works hand in hand with his Quaestor to ensure the needs of his membership and really the entire clan is met. From writing recommendations to award members, to proofreading, not just Deathwatch’s recommendations but for the other leaders as well. He is engaged with the membership ever encouraging them to reach new heights and do new things.
Thank you Denath for all you do in Clan Vizsla, House Deathwatch, and the Brotherhood.

Ah, Rayne...the yang to Thran's yin in the Hoodrats. One of the Bureau Bandits. Burner of pants. Stealer of the Dreaded Holocron of Pantlessness. Rayne, is constant within Scholae Palatinae.
What has been great over the last few months has been both Rayne's consistency and her growth. She is a constant presence upon the GMRG Leadership board (currently #3 but having placed in the top 10 for the last two quarters). Since her last award she has a combined 1,106 clusters related to gaming.
She participated in all the GJW XV bins and earned an impressive Gold Nova for the Coop.
While this is an impressive level of engagement within our community; Rayne has been working behind the scenes to improve Scholae Palatinae's wiki. While this isn't as 'flashy' as some of the other activities she has brought a structured approach by setting up Trello and breaking the activity needed into sub-projects for ease of tracking and, most importantly, a consistent and continual process that we can leverage going forward for all who are interested in assisting with our wiki management.
To me the most important artifact within the Clan is our wiki as it is our shared history and, without it, who knows what we've done. I really appreciate that Rayne has been working on this continual activity for Scholae Palatinae.

Rayne is a cornerstone of the antics that go on in Clan Scholae Palatinae. Whether it be the traditional burning of pants, arson in general, or just contributing to the chaos, Rayne is one of the most present members of our community. Her continued engagement in Discord chat is but a beginning of the effect she has on the Clan. On top of her regular commitment to gaming, participation in clan events, competitions, and presence in Discord, Rayne has recently taken up assisting in some behind the scenes projects.
One such project has been the ongoing clean up of the Clan’s Wiki. During this project, Rayne has taken a hands-on approach by relocating more than 25 articles to their appropriate categories, creating an artifact article of one of CSP’s relics, updated the Clans templates. While there is still much work to do on this project, the effort she has already put in has earned her Wikipedian of the month. I am sure there will be more of that to come! Beyond updating pages, Rayne has also been instrumental in developing the roadmap for many future Wiki updates, many of which are already in the works as the Clan rebuilds the Caperion System after the Dark Times Event and the GJW.
Beyond the work she’s poured into the Clan wiki, Rayne takes a special place in our clan acting as a beacon of fun and positivity. She is always there to dump gasoline on the fires of our craziness. This contribution is hard to measure, but the entire Clan can agree that having her around greatly contributes to the fun atmosphere we have. Rayne is our “offical” sign holder and is always there to remind us that we are in a pants-free zone or to put out the most important sign of all #beatkam. To put it plainly, Clan Scholae Palatinae is the way it is because we have Rayne. We would not have it any other way.
Rayne has continually shown her dedication to the Clan through her activity and continued impact on the community. Her presence is so impactful that when the judges of the Co-op fiction in the Great Jedi War saw the group that was participating (Rayne, Kamjin, and Myself) they knew they were in for a real ride! The humor and lightheartedness she brings to the table carried that piece to winning 1st place and earning a Gold Nova. It is that humor and lightheartedness which makes Rayne so crucial to the success of the Clan. We are so privileged to have her as a member and the award of a Sapphire Blade is the least we can do to show our thanks.
Rayne, thank you for everything you do!

Dear Usurper, the following message has been reviewed and approved by K'vin and found to be free and clear of any liable comments.
Thran has continued to be an invaluable member of Scholae Palatinae, having recently assumed the position of Proconsul. Even before he assumed this role he has been a trusted advisor and sounding board for me to workshop items for the Clan and the Clan storyline.
The quality, and scope, of the Dark Times Saga - Civil War was influenced by Thran's guidance. To, probably no one's surprise, Thran's liberal use of the CSP Black Card has secured our new planetary and system based assets. I also enjoyed thoroughly our Coop fiction and shared Gold Nova. May we all learn the cautionary tale of Kam's Ham Sam.
While it is probably bad business giving him more sharp objects, he's definitely earn it and more!

Since his arrival in Plagueis last October, Mauro has established himself as a reliable source of activity in his new home. He has completed 79 competition entries in total, placing in 18 of them to earn 1 Diamond, 6 Ruby, 5 Amethyst, 4 Sapphire, and 2 Emerald Crescents. During the recent Great Jedi War XV Mauro was a major contributor to Phase I events, with a total of six entries over the course of the war effort to help secure fourth place overall for the Ascendant Clan. His activity has also earned him 8 Clusters of Ice for 11 fiction activities totaling 3,824 words a well as 91 Clusters of Graphite for his graphics entries. Mauro has also been a positive contributor to our Clan's community, being an active and engaged member on Discord since his arrival. It has been my pleasure to have him aboard as a member of the Ascendant Clan, and hope that he continues making a mark in the future!
