Terrorism in COU

"Have you seen what the people are writing about the officers coming from your people? They're saying that the representative for House Sunrider condones literal terrorism!" Empress Kaltani Anasaye barked at the pair of, rather bemused, Councilors as they scanned the imagery before them, turned to one another, and shook their heads stifling laughter.

"The Governess is a powerful woman, bringing order to a once lawless region in the abyssal trench of Tythas. Do you really think she's not going to be without her detractors? Have you not had your own through the years, I recall attempts to usurp your throne, after all." The High Councilor chuckled as he turned off the holo display, patted the War Councilor's shoulder, and stood before crossing the room to look out over the vistas of Voraskel Palace.

"Besides, considering everything the Governess has done in the interest of our peoples, do you really think she'd jeopardize it all by enabling terrorists? Just look at her community involvement, ten events organized in recent history, and participation in fifty-one competitions. They've managed to bring home many accolades for their work throughout the Galactic Core, including a Gold and Silver Nova, and a plethora of Crescents." The Jedi pointed out as he flicked over her career service vitae.

"You know, maybe we should let her have the occasional explosion, or threat, as a treat?" Mihoshi spoke up, a monotone joke as she cut Masahiro's thought process off.



I don't even know where to begin with this one, Tierra or Vyr as most know them, has been a regular voice of reason on our Summit. Over the last six months, there's been routine discourse, back and forth over various plots, plans, and decisions on how we would run the Clan and Vyr has through them all been a stalwart voice of reason with experience, a unique perspective, and a strong counterpoint to offer. As the Summit has worked to train our new Battleteam Leaders in the early stages of Leadership and prepare them to take greater roles in the future of The Brotherhood, Vyr has been a staunch voice, offering guidance, reassurance, and holding the hands of our newest members as sought help finding their footing. Far beyond this, Vyr has helped breathe life into the various projects surrounding the rebirth of Odan-Urr's House Sunrider, from designing the competitions, architecture, and settlement arrangement of Tythas City, to working hand-in-hand with the member base to discern what kind of schemes and storylines would best represent the future of the House, watching their work and the rebirth of the House has been an adventure, and one I look forward to enjoying over the months to come.

As Magistrate to the Herald, Vyr has recently completed 3 custom weapons, 2 warbanners, 1 possession icon, 3 site graphics, generating a total of 11 unique, quality images.

As always, Vyr is a key member of our staff, always willing to help and ever ready to offer their opinion when needed. He is quick to work on member requests and never says no. Such talent and devotion to the club’s membership is an inspiration!

Well done, Vyr, and thank you!

Primary reason

Quentin has transitioned into one of our “Steady as she goes” members, because this young man is as solid as they come. Quentin, being the Clan’s lone Quaestor has been the steady as she goes rock for House Shar Dakhan. He is a valued member of the Clan and just a rock star of a member to have around. Not enough can be said about this guy, but we are going to do our best to showcase what kind of a rock star he is.

Quentin’s relentless dedication to both the Club and his personal growth is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the course of his journey, he has participated in an impressive 156 competitions, earning an array of accolades that showcase his commitment and skill. Among his achievements are 37 Crescents, 81 Clusters, Scrolls of Indoctrination and Foundation, a Seal of Loyalty, and 11 Seals of Transcendence—each a testament to his unwavering effort. Beyond competitions, Quentin has devoted himself to intellectual growth at the Shadow Academy, earning four prestigious degrees: Maven Leadership, Maven Societies, Savant Leadership and Communication, and Maven Writing. His drive for excellence doesn’t stop there—he’s also achieved an outstanding 20 Society rank-ups, solidifying his status as a paragon of achievement and inspiration.

As Quaestor, Quentin has been a driving force in promoting the Club's legacy and expanding its reach. Through striking recruitment campaigns, he has successfully drawn new members into the fold while championing the Club within his community. His creative contributions have enriched House Shar Dakhan's fictional tapestry, notably with the addition of the Regatta Royale Casino & Resort, a vibrant symbol of the House’s growing legacy. Beyond these achievements, Quentin is a cornerstone of support for his fellow Darkanians—guiding them through challenges like crafting compelling character sheets or weaving intricate backstories. Whether charting new horizons or lending a helping hand, Quentin embodies the spirit of camaraderie that defines the Club.

Quentin embodies the unwavering spirit and dedication that are vital to the Clan’s morale and success. With his lead-from-the-front attitude, he has become a beacon of inspiration for others. His commitment to broadening his knowledge and elevating the Club's mission sets a standard that others strive to follow. Today, we celebrate a milestone in his journey: Archpriest Quentinshadows has achieved the remarkable 11,533 Medal XP required to earn his first Amethyst Kukri. It is with immense pride and honor that we present this prestigious Sacramental award. This is undoubtedly just the beginning of many accolades to come. Congratulations, Quentin—you’ve earned it!

Additional reasons

In ages past, the Amethyst Kukri was awarded for a single-minded devotion to a specific task, an undertaking of remarkable worthiness. While the old definitions have been set aside by the Brotherhood's thirtieth year, I feel that this still rings true for Quentin.

His devotion to Clan Naga Sadow, his dedication to his members, and his drive to ever improve the experience that our corner of the internet has to offer are all credits to this. His stalwart advice and his willingness to get into the trenches and do the grunt work himself prove him to be a great asset to the clan. The ever-lengthening list of his achievements stands for itself, and proves that he has earned this Amethyst Kukri.

Please accept this as a token of our esteem, and as thanks for all that you have done so far. I look forward to writing many more of these reccs in the future. We appreciate all that you do, Quentin. Thank you.

Primary reason

Throughout his time as Fist, I always knew I could trust Turel to get the job done. Over his last seven months in the role, he added support for several new games, worked with his staff to keep the cluster queue moving and ensure that there were always Fist-sponsored gaming events happening, and was an active participant in DC discussions up to and including his last day on the job.

His most significant accomplishment in the last half year was his proposal for a new GMRG battle pass system, which received this glowing review from James: "This seems doable". Turel stepped down before seeing the project through to completion, but his proposal will be the basis for the system when it launches.

Thanks for all of your hard work, Turel!

Lord Dacien Victae, 2025-01-13 19:30:25 UTC

Turel has always looked at things from the perspective of "is this good for the members" when it comes to his time as Fist. That's something to be proud of and something he championed each and every day. He was always an active voice in discussions even up to and including his last day before stepping out of the room.

I'm glad to have been able to work alongside him for the duration of his term. I saw the growth of gaming, but also the heavy burden it places on the Fist. It's one of the toughest positions in the club with some of the most passionate advocates. For good or ill. Turel accomplished much, even proposing an expansion to the GMRG system with battlepasses that ended up coinciding with my own needs for seasons, which made my life easier from the perspective of potential automation rather than forever wallowing in spreadsheets. I can never thank him enough for that.

Darth Renatus, 2025-01-08 13:19:21 UTC

Where Turel goes, gaming follows; Turel has made a sizeable impact on the GMRG and always aimed to make decisions around the various interests and drives of the member base, reached out to get the community actively involved in gaming, and spoken directly to clarify any and all issues that plagued members new and old as they tried to toe-in to the Gaming side of The Brotherhood. His dedication to gaming has been seen coming home to Odan-Urr, as well, as he's kept at it and shaken up our gaming community and helped to drive more of our members to activity.

For the last two and a half years he has been a pillar of the community, nesting in Gaming Chat and throwing down against everyone as he asserted his dominance, an energy which I know he'll carry on going forward, but now he'll be competing against us.

High Councillor Wolfe, 2025-01-09 15:11:52 UTC

Turel has been a leader in this society long before stepping into the role of Fist. As Fist, he introduced new ideas, implemented innovative concepts, and demonstrated resilience when faced with challenges. Under his leadership, the team of Magistrates thrived, working cohesively and effectively. Serving as his Praetor was a privilege I deeply value.

During his tenure, Turel cultivated an environment where staff felt empowered to ask questions, seek his guidance on submissions, and learn from his insights. His thoughtful advice on gaming and his unwavering commitment to inclusivity left a lasting impact on the community, setting a high standard for leadership and collaboration.

As a mentor, Turel was instrumental in teaching me the intricacies of the role, preparing me to step into his position, and ensuring the continued growth and success of the gaming community. His efforts not only strengthened the foundation of our team but also paved the way for future leaders.

Envoy Zuza Lottson
Primary reason

It has been a minute since we last awarded Bril-bee and its about damn time! Since then, he's been busy as ever, participating in 36 competitions, earning 2 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 3 Amethyst, 3 Sapphire and 2 Emerald which is a damn good placement ratio! He's also completed 32 gaming activities, for an astounding 223 Clusters of Fire; As well as 13 Roleplays 3 of which he organised, writing up 32 Clusters of Ice for his efforts. This has earned Bril a rank up in the GMRG, the ACC as a participant and the Envoy Corps as a DM! All of this put together raked in 172,820 credits for Clan Arcona.

Not that his Xp is the most impressive piece of Bril's activity since his last award.

In his time as BTL Bril created 1 primary recc and supported 3 others, drafting and posting up a report for his BT though is far from his impact as a leader. Across his 8 months as the head, Bril created rosters for the DMs and one for their Allies, including pictures and info for each character utilizied. He updated their missions/RP table, any affiliations, ship, and base location to Blindshot to ensure everything relevant for his members was up to date, including creating a section for an encrypted USENET comm program the team uses for fictional flavour. As well as that, Bril reached into the past, reviving the retired BT ship Nighthawk with a wiki page including an entire npc crew, descriptions made by himself and Marshals. These members were encouraged and organized by him, bringing together the team in a community effort. He also worked hard on other wiki pages, creating a page for the Battle of Brimstone event and for Korda, a city of Selen that he filled with locales he created. He also made and added the Skyview Amphitheater to the Estle City page while updating Fort Blindshot's page and that of multiple celestial bodies in Dajorra Space to the correct Galactic location. This came after realising an issue where several of these locations contradicted each other, so he brought it to summit, discussed and implemented the necessary fix. He was also unafraid to point out pages that needded archiving, slimming down Arcona's mass collection.

Bril was a good leader, set on ensuring his member's had a strong anchor point to work from and dedicated to ensuring they could leap with confidence into any activity. This award is long overdue, so I'm more than glad to reccommend him this Amethyst Kukri.

I do not think I have met anyone in the Brotherhood that had so much inspiration, passion, and love for their work and creations as Bril Teg Arga. Every second he put into a project was done so with intent, pride, and such skillful creativity. From intriguing characters to invigorating plots, detailed and inticing worldbuilding. Bril is a wonderful person to talk to, fantastic humor, open minded, kind. He cares about the community and his friends.

Bril took the time to personally reach out and individually engage with not just his teammates nor his fellow clanmates, but his Brotherhood peers. He went out of his way to encourage them to roleplay and write, to flush out and make their own stories and adventures with their characters. All out of just a pure passion for collaboration and seeing others enjoy exploring the fictional galaxy we’ve created here. A galaxy Bril was endlessly inspired to build out farther. As Zuza mentioned, this man brought life to one of our Selenian cities, creating locales for others to partake in as much as he did. His work with the Dajorra Marshals and the Nighthawk gave some much needed flushing out and love, truly creating a group members were inspired by. And he encouraged and facilitated their added involvement with shaping the Nighthawk to their liking.

I could go on and write so much more on this fellow. For now, I congratulate you on your Amethyst Kukri. Well done! I wish you luck on your ventures and may the stars guide your way!

Primary reason

Mune! Our pool-filtration blocking Shista of the year, they have been doing more than just increasing maintanance costs. In fact, they might've earned back that amount with the 707290 credits earned for the clan since their last award back in June! How did they do this? Well...

227 competitions participated in is a hell of a start. Across those comps, they earned 1 Crescent with a Ruby Star, 10 Amethyst, 17 Sapphire, 21 Emerla,dd 13 Topaz and 4 Quartz. As well as a Gold Nova from the Probowl! This has been alongside 3 gaming activities for 35 Clusters of Fire, 6 Clusters of Graphite and a Dark Side Scroll, as well as finishing 3 ACC battles and judging 1. For 30 Clusters of Ice, Mune participated in 8 fiction activities, regular fiction as well as rps, some of which ran by Mune themself! Their efforts awarded them with 3 society rank ups, though the xp earned through the site is far from Mune's solitary efforts.

In September Mune became Battleteam Leader of the Voidbreaker II, though it'd be hard to say their contributions are only due to that. They have made large additions and edits to the VB wiki, creating ship templates, graphics and adding/maintaining a roster of member's character's rooms in it. This has been an ongoing project to help the team maintain its community, as well as encouraging other members to parktake and build an emotional anchor within the crew. They've also already completed their first AC and DC award for their members as BTL this run around.

It's wonderful to see members engaging with their communities, with or without the label of leader and Mune has always been one of these members. It may be another pink stabby to add to the pile, but it's one well earned and deserved.

I can think of no better term to refer to Mune than "a shining example." As long as I have been back, I have seen Mune be a constant flurry of activity and enthusiasm for virtually all aspects of life in the Brotherhood. Taking part in competitions and activities across a wide swath of types - gaming, fiction, RP, graphics... you name it, it seems like Mune has done it!

When the time came to choose our next BTL for Voidbreaker there was no other option in my mind than Mune, and these past few months have borne out that choice. Between a massive revamp and revitalization of the Voidbreaker wiki page, being a constant presence in our Discord spaces to check in and spark conversation with our members, and a seemingly endless font of ideas for activities they want to try out, Mune is an absolute core of Qel-Droma leadership.

It could not be with greater joy that I lend my recommendation to granting this Amethyst Kukri to Mune!

J'kast has that fire in him to go far and it's been wonderful to watch his accomplishments pour in to our email boxes. As a member, he has been absolutely ravenous in his pursuit of advancement in the DB as a whole. He embodies the best that our members have to offer and it's an honor to thank him once more for all his hard work with this Amethyst Kukri.

He won 2nd place overall for the recent DB wide competitions from the Regent's Life Day comps and the Voice's Resource Rush and also our own Clan's Sithmas comp. Three times he was putting in the effort to earn 2nd place! He is indeed a well-oiled machine and he has demonstrated interest beyond general membership. I will do everything I can to make that goal happen, even if we don't have an official leadership role available just yet. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate J'kast's efforts, but the least I can do is award him his first purple sacramental award.

Congrats J'kast! You've earned this! Drinks are on you!

Empress Rayne Palpatine, 2025-01-03 19:40:20 UTC
Additional reasons

Look, all leaders like to pump up their members' activity. J'kast, however, needs none of that. This dude is a machine, and having been blessed to have some of the most active members in DB history under me in the past, I can 1000% say J'Kast belongs among them.

Let's put this activity in perspective. J'Kast was awarded a Sapphire Blade two months ago. In two months, he earned enough non-site XP for an Amythyst Kukri. That is just insane levels of activity on any metric. Some members work a year or more to get an AK and he did it in 2 months. I am at a loss for how to describe this properly.

Congrats J'Kast on your AK. I can't wait to sit here typing more recommendations for you. Drinks are on you, Sir!

Korvyn, 2025-01-03 01:55:42 UTC

J'Kast continues to impress at every opportunity. The roll that he is on is absolutely legendary. He received his first Sapphire Blade on 11/18/2024. Here we are just after the New Year in 2025 and he has earned the XP to be awarded with his first Amethyst Kukri. That's amazing in and of itself, but that only tells part of the story.

J'Kast has been one of the nicest and most eager members of CSP that I have seen since I have returned. He is a constant presence on Discord. He's always quick to offer his services when someone is looking for a game. He also has a great sense of humor and attitude in general.

I could do what I usually do and list all of his achievements since his last medal, but I challenge anyone reading this to just take a look at his Activity Assessment. It speaks for itself, and once you take a look at it, I think you're going to be as astonished as we all in the Summit are.

On top of that, J'Kast badly wants to be in a leadership position and has been working to find a roll that he fits into. It would be simple for him to simply lean on his activity levels, but instead, he's out here searching for more that he can do. It really is amazing.

Congratulations J'Kast! You continue to turn heads and make a name for yourself. You've earned every bit of this Amethyst Kukri, and I look forward to seeing where you go from here. Keep up the great work!

Primary reason

Ikarri aka Donny probably the best right-hand log man a leader in the club could ask for. His stellar work ethic and wise, measured counsel quickly made him the cornerstone of the Fist office over the past seven months. He directly and substantially contributed to proposals to expand activities in Diablo 4, add Pokemon Unite, Star Wars Hunters and the Finals as supported platforms as well as expanding the looking for group tool on discord to include more platforms. His biggest project contribution was working extensively with me on developing the battlepass proposal which will be integrated into the upcoming council-wide seasons initiative and provide a much-needed “endgame” for the GMRG.

Aside from his direct contributions to office projects and every staff discussion, Donny is an impeccable leader. He not only motivated the staff and myself toward excellence but most notably stepped in to mediate and defuse a conflict between myself and a segment of the gaming community. As I stated in my final report I had developed a blind spot regarding the needs of certain segments of the gaming community but Donny mitigated that weakness with calm, thoughtful counsel and skillful mediation. In doing so he improved the Fist office’s level of service and helped unify the gaming community. Soft skills like that will not show up on any site report but they are so crucial to an office as community-facing as the Fist office.

On behalf of the Fist staff and the gaming community thank you for everything you do,

Master Turel Sorenn, 2024-12-15 00:53:22 UTC

I'm not sure what to say about Donny that I haven't already said...but I'll do it anyway.

Donny is a motivated gamer that desperately seeks the success of our community within the Brotherhood. He looks at it with a critical eye while also driving things himself, not shying away from hosting gaming groups or exploring new games. At the same time, he makes sure everyone is covered and getting their participation when he submits his screenshots (because he knows I won't be taking any). He takes a measured approach at all times. This could be mistaken for a lack of haste, but it is a strength instead. He allows for time to think, review, and then act. It's a great skill to see.

It's great to see any pillar of the community get recognized. This one is no different. Congratulations Donny, for everything you have brought to the Fist staff and our gaming community itself.

Requested by
High Councillor Wolfe
Primary reason

This is an award I've had trouble beginning to wrap my hands around, I've been trying to put to words and totality everything we should be awarding Nikora (known by most as Tarvitz) for since I came back around Odan-Urr last year and I think I've finally gotten to a point where I can describe his list of the accomplishments, achievements, and developments for COU. Before I delve into these, I want to address just how much of a beneficial figure Tarvitz has been during my tenure, how much he has shaped the landscape of adjustments within Odan-Urr, and how much their input has been valued, from helping educate and track down specific instances of events, tracking items belonging to the Clan, understanding systems both new and old, and comprehending the political climate, both the fictional and actual of The Brotherhood old and new, even when there have been differences in perception. Where others have helped me piece together the day-to-day, Tarvitz's work has given me a comprehensive and functional understanding of the backbone of the history I lost during my years of absence from the community, the lost stories, the narratives, and the struggles the Clan has gone through during different periods.

This work doesn't just extend to me, however, they're one of the most prodigious wiki editors, with many Wikipedian of the Month awards under their belt, many of which come from updates to Odan-Urr articles, ranging from the simple errant grammar, historical checks, and faction clean-ups, to the creation of entire factions of ours including the Templar Jensaarai I mentioned in their last recommendation, a faction which serves as one of our very own Battle Teams now. And while real-world limitations and concerns may often limit their time, they've continued to divert and spend much of the time they do have on Brotherhood concerns, helping our newer members understand the comprehensive lore of Clan Odan-Urr where possible, without a complaint.

His continuous and concentrated efforts to teach and assist our newer members in understanding our history made him a prime candidate to replace the leadership of our now-defunct Proving Grounds Battle Team, to help integrate and teach our newest members while helping drive their initial engagement, knowing his current limits he gracefully turned down the position but offered to still assist in the endeavors where he was capable, and he has done so, frequently and gracefully, over the last several months.

Beyond just helping our newer members (and the Consul) Tarvitz has made himself the Odanite project coordinator, often jumping in to help anyone and everyone who has an idea, concept, or wiki page they need help developing, several times offering to take on the task so the Summit who had offered to help can focus on the larger projects we were currently committed to, others just to give himself something to do and help the community. His latest example of such work was helping design The Fang venue for the Antei Combat Center.

In all honestly, I feel up to this point I have failed to reward Tarvitz adequately for the amount of work he has put in for the amount of hats he has worn for us just in this last year. Wikipedian, teacher, historian, project coordinator, and designer, these would be the five I most frequently associate him with.

On top of this, he has continued to be an active member of the community, competing and placing in many competitions and driving other members of Odan-Urr to challenge him as he does so. Oftentimes directing his challenge when participation in a particular challenge is low with a kind of 'Rolling up my sleeves' mentality which challenges the others to dare and beat him, since he's going to have to do it and obviously no one can be better than him, often bringing more to the table to compete with him.

Ever onward, Tarvitz, no matter the challenge.

Few members in the House are as active and ever present as Nikora, from being one one the Club's most active wiki editors to being incredibly active on Discord and engaged with the new House plotline and lore.

He has participated in 32 competitions, written 4222 words of fiction, earned 16 Crescents, 24 Clusters, 3 Dark side scrolls, an ACC rank and earned the Clan 153,910 credits.

Primary reason

I've said it before and I'll continue to praise these facts, Tisto is and always has been dedicated to increasing activity and keeping people invested, his attitude about this singular detail is infectious and his planning around doing so is meticulous. I touched on this during his last award, but his efforts only redoubled in that time as he helped expand the scope and means of the Western Marches, member inclusion, training programs within Odan-Urr to help our new members get their feet on the ground, and after becoming Quaestor of the reformed House Hoth, driving a new storyline and doubling down, again, on efforts to expand the lore and designs of Odan-Urr and its functionaries through contests and aggregate member input. Tisto goes above and beyond to prepare, plan, and help others succeed, even if the windfall may not immediately, if at all, benefit himself. His desire to help teach, underpin the foundations, and pursue the betterment of others has made Odan-Urr a better place for everyone since he's returned to the fold, both before and since he joined us upon the Summit.

Despite his massive time obligations outside of The Brotherhood, from collegiate activities to local community events, Tisto has been a driven member of Odan-Urr, dedicating personal time to help create and organize the events keeping the Clan running, he's also been responsible for helping increase our RP activity at large, between co-DMing our monthly RPs, running House-Level RPs, and helping teach new members the ins-and-outs of our systems to get them hooked and keep them invested. He's also been a routine advocate of interclan relations and getting our members to take part in DB-Wide competitions as well as reaching out to plan events with other clans (a warning to other Consuls/PCONs, if he comes knocking on your door be ready for a longwinded and ultimately fun idea).

The last six months, with you serving as our Quaestor, have been a rush of activity, planning, and teaching with endeavors that had been planned between Jack, Myself, and my predecessor reaching goals ahead of pace due to your timely intervention and willingness to push, offer assistance, and question the state of current affairs. Where Jack has served as Odan-Urr's patience and temperance, you've often served as ambition, pushing and reminding me that we have the means and ability to act for more within reason.

Since your last medal, you've done a lot: You've organized 8 competitions, Co-Organized another 47 (Hello Western Marches!), Participated in 53 competitions, 13 of which were containers. Completed two ACC matches with a total word count of 3,649, been a DM for 3 RPs with a word count of 2,542 (excluding our current ongoing series), participated in another RP with a word count of 310, you've completed 15 Shadow Academy Courses (earning yourself 5 more Degrees and a rank in the Academy), you've gained a rank in the Shroud Syndicate, you've gained 4 in the Antei Combat Center as a Participant, and 3 in the Envoy Corps as an Organizer. You've also earned a Crescent with an Emerald Star, 3 Crescents with Topaz Stars, 13 Clusters of Fire, and 15 Clusters of Ice. Beyond this, you've helped train Eechee, Jovian, and now Syrena on their path toward leadership, setting their sights as they took on the challenges of Battle Team leadership, and offering them a hand whenever they've asked for one. When life isn't dragging you across the textbooks by the teeth, or throwing you down into the mud on the pitch at your latest LARP, you're also unrepentant about how diligently you smack your House with the attention button and throw lovely competitions and plans at them, or just ask them how they're doing.

You're another example of COU's best, leading from the front, and I'm proud you chose to rejoin us and pester me about your variety of ideas, each one has been a hit, and you've been a great friend.

Ever onward, Tisto, to many great adventures!

He is a shining example of what everyone should aspire to in terms of being a leader. And then you turn around and he's planned out something like the Western Marches, working on other cross-clan activities, participating in everything he can get in his little paddy-paws, and generally being more awesome than 90% of the clan including yourself.

Remember back to when Tisto first join us, if someone had told me this is where he would end up, I'd have believed it. The raw potential, the drive to see things change, the ability to make those changes happen, they are a perfect storm in the form of this one member. I'm proud to know him and prouder still that I get the chance to serve alongside him in the Clan and count him among my friends. It's been a long road, Tisto, and now I'm wondering where you'll take Hoth and the rest of COU. You've more than earned this award, my friend. Keep on, keepin' on and I'll do my best to keep up.

Primary reason

Since earning the Sapphire Blade back in June, Wade has been a constant source of activity. He has participated in 259 competitions, earning himself a Gold Nova and 38 Crescents (1 Diamond, 7 Ruby, 13 Amethyst, 10 Sapphire, 6 Emerald, & 1 Topaz). Specifically, he has participated in 10 Fiction Events and 1 Roleplaying session and wrote almost 11.000 words while doing so. This netted him 22 Clusters of Ice. He has also passed 35 Shadow Academy Courses and collected a further 8 degrees. On the side of the Societies, he’s elevated his rank across the various societies 9 times. On top of this, he has been promoted twice in the last five months.

As an artist, Wade has been shining brightly. He earned himself 161 Clusters of Graphite by participating in just about every GFX competition that was offered in the last five months.

On the social side, Wade has been an active member of Taldryan and has been a solidly active presence on Discord. Always willing to join in, he is one of the reasons our clan is such a warm place to reside.

Wade, I told you ten days ago, while promoting you, that you weren’t one to sit still as far as I was aware. You’ve been proving me right. Congratulations on your first Amethyst Kukri! Keep up the good work and I’ll be writing you another recc before too long. Enjoy the purple stabby!
