Event History

Kav is supernatural, a shining beacon of the purest light who gives so freely to those around her. It’s infectious; her uplifting spirit makes you almost forget all your cuts and scrapes and hurts from life and the friction of being in a club like this with strong personalities. Her presence fills with hope and inspiration. When I first returned to the clan after my Fist term, I was in a rough place. My demons got the better of me and I had to step back and leave so much unfinished. When I rolled into Kav’s battleteam I was at a low point. But Kav reminded me of everything I loved about this place, about these people. Her light rekindled mine, her shine gave me permission to shine again and I wanted to be the best member I could just from being around her.

What was true then, is true now. Coming back to the Clan now, at this critical moment, I see the echoes of Kav’s light reverberating throughout the entire Clan and beyond. She gives so much to those around her, through organizing, rallying, encouraging, sharing her creativity or even just being a friend to listen to some absolutely unhinged gaming banter in voice chat. I’m more inspired than I’ve ever been to do whatever this old tiger can do to help patch up the foundation of the Clan and hand off the baton to Kav and her generation. I want to be the very best I can be because Kav, and members like her, deserve nothing less.

The numbers do not do Kav’s impact justice, but I will give it a try. Since her last award, Kav has participated in 81 Competitions where she took home 8 Gold Novae, 3 Silver Novae, 3 Bronze Novae and 25 Crescents for placing in those competitions. Kav is a prolific gamer, patiently learning whatever game people are playing so she can hang out with us, as evidenced by her 2216 Cluster of Fire. She has made her mark on the clan and club lore through over 100,000 words of fiction and roleplay, resulting in 268 Clusters of Ice. And of course, she inspires and shares her art talent with the club for which she earned 60 Clusters of Graphite.

First Heroine of the War. First place. First out of 173 members of the club who participated in the last GJW. Kav submitted 28 war entries and got full bin participation. Those achievements are enough to secure Kav’s place in the history of COU for all time. But they alone do not capture what I believe is what really makes her the First Heroine of our Hearts, how she gave and gave to other members of the clan in all the ways I’ve talked about behind the scenes. Bringing out the best in us all and shining as an impeccable example for members of this clan young and old.

Kav, honey, not only are you worthy of every title, award, possession and honor we can bestow as a Clan and as a Club but all those things, they are unworthy of you. They fall short of everything you have done and everything you have so freely given. Please accept this wholly inadequate gesture of our thanks for making this place brighter and inspiring us all to be our best selves….even when we’re having the big feels.

There are few members who embody the soul of Odan-Urr quite like Seals does. Her name should be etched in stone alongside every legendary member we have. Even watching from the Dark Council level it was indisputably clear that Seals and her equally talented partner in crime Kav were the beating heart of the clan during the last GJW. Not just the submissions and the talent and the wins, I’ll get to those in a minute. But the behind-the-scenes organizing, the encouragement, the cheerleading the lifting other members up. Seals doesn’t just bring her best in everything she does, she brings out the best in everyone around her. That is what it means to be an Odanite, Seals embodies the very best of us.

Since her last award Seals has participated in 191 Competitions with takes a breath 2 Gold Novae, 1 Silver Nova, 1 Bronze Nova and 117 Crescents for placing in those competitions. She showed her breadth of activity through 994 Clusters of Fire, 43 Clusters of Ice and 92 Clusters of Graphite. She received a Scroll of the Master for mentoring Raeken to Knight, investing in the future of the club. She even knocked out 7 courses and 1 degree in the Shadow Academy.

All of this pales in comparison to Seals’ herculean efforts during the war. Third Heroine of the War is simply amazing when you realize that out of the 173 members who participated in the war Seals was on the podium with her close friend and war-partner Kav and a member with almost twenty years of experience in the club, Alaris, as the only two who placed higher. However, simply saying Third Heroine doesn’t quite capture her contributions. Seals submitted 31 war entries, getting full participation in all bins. But as I said earlier, the real heroics was all the things she did in the background to prop up those around her.

Seals, all the dossier titles, credits, xp and stabbies in the world do not do you or what you give to this clan justice. Please accept this small token of our gratitude.

Tarvitz is simply a force of nature. He can be as quiet and constant in the background as a river carving through a mountain over eons or as impactful and immediate as a hurricane. He is both and he has always been what the clan needed him to be, when we needed him to be it. Whether it is being a constant river of positive contributions on the wiki or leading our younger members into battle with the ferocity of a tempest, Tarvitz shapes the geography of the clan and its culture.

Since his last award Tarvitz has participated in 113 competitions, gaining 2 Gold Novae, 2 Silver Novae, and 52 Crescents for placing in those competitions. He dabbled in some gaming with 90 Clusters of Fire and absolutely went ham on fiction and graphics with 121 Clusters of Ice and 108 Clusters of Graphite! He even found time to squeeze in 5 Shadow Academy courses.

Most impressively, Tarvitz led our younger members into battle in the GJW, submitting 23 entries to war competitions, getting full participation in all bins and placing 5th out of 173 participants overall in the GJW. All with the most humility and impeccable sportsmanship. I’m astounded. Words fail me. With a clan roster that is not shy on talent by any means, Tarvitz quietly and professionally showed up and just obliterated the competition. Only 4 people in the entire club outscored him and two of those were young Odanites who fought alongside him.

Tarvitz, forgive me here, but thank you for being as swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great Typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the moon.

One of my favorite aspects of Odan-Urr is our inter-generational unity. Young or old, every Odanite can make their mark on our home and in our community. It was something I experienced as a new join and something as a bit of an older member myself now I'm thrilled to continue. It's something that A'lora, better known as Moro to most, has fully embodied the entire time I've known him.

Since his last award Moro has participated in 26 competitions, where he gained 8 Crescents and a Gold nova and 22 Clusters of Ice. He stood shoulder to shoulder with our younger members in the GJW where he participated in 5 competitions. He even received a Dark Side Scroll for his contributions to key clan wiki pages.

Since I've returned to Odan-Urr Moro has been a key resource for both myself and the clan. Making significant contributions to Clan-wide discussions on our lore direction and reform of our clan title requirements. He not only offers detailed thoughts and proposals of his own but lifts up the younger members and helps them refine and bring their ideas forward as well.

Please accept this small token of gratitude for embodying all that is best about Odan-Urr

There are heroes in every clan and then there are the inter-generational champions who become Legends. Windos is very much the latter for COU. One of the founding fathers of the Clan who blazed a trail as Jedi Headmaster during a time when we were very much still in our Dark Brotherhood era as a club, Windos has certainly earned his retirement. But he continues to give to the clan, inspire our younger members and most recently in the GJW lead from the front.

Since his last award Windos has participated in 217 competitions, garnering 2 Gold Nova, 1 Silver Nova, 1 Bronze Nova and 66 Crescents for placing in those competitions. He showed his breadth of activity by gaining 404 Clusters of Fire, 37 Clusters of Ice and 94! Clusters of Graphite. He blew up my mailbox as HM by completing 26 Shadow Academy courses and gaining 10 Degrees! He even suited up and got back into the ACC, completing 7 matches, one of which where he kicked my tiger butt and judging 2. However, if all that wasn’t impressive enough Windos dominated in the GJW with 27 entries to war competitions, participation in all bins and placing 8th out of the entire club of 173 participants in the GJW. Absolute Legend.

Now you’d think someone with that kind of record would brag or have some swagger. No one would blame him. But no, Windos is one of the most chill, humble and down to earth people you will ever meet in the club. I can think of no better example for our young Odanites to look up to. I certainly do. On behalf of the clan, please accept this token of our thanks.

Remalia, or Remy, has been an absolute powerhouse in COU, especially in the realms of fiction and roleplay. Whether it’s chiming in for the #Fiction-Chat question of the day or showing up in RPs and stealing everyone’s hearts with a character I’d like to personally see more of Remalia, Remy has a strong presence in lore both in COU and abroad.

Since his last award Remy has participated in 125 competitions, garnering 1 Nova and 47 Crescents for placement in those competitions. He also showed a breadth of activity by getting 245 Clusters of Fire, 79 Clusters of Ice and 52 Clusters of Graphite. In the last GJW Remy stepped up for the clan in a big way, submitting to 18 war competitions and getting full participation in all bins! That is simply heroic, epic even. Words can barely do justice to how inspiring of a showing that is in the war. Remy truly left it all out on the field and deserves the deepest congratulations from the entire clan.

Please accept this small token of our gratitude and keep being awesome!

If there is anyone who has earned a relaxing retirement, it’s Magda, aka Ji. Ji helped found COU and has never stopped giving to the Clan over the years.

Since his last award Ji has participated in 45 competitions, securing 12 Crescents for placement in those competitions. He also secured 12 Clusters of Ice and 16 Clusters of Graphite for fiction and graphics activity. During the GJW Ji managed 9 submissions across a variety of bins, proving that no matter how old you are, in COU we all lift as one. Ji even found time to tear up the Shadow Academy a little bit with 7 courses and 4 degrees.

Aside from site-tracked activities, Ji has been an invaluable elder statesman for the Clan, whether it’s helping advise and prop up our young leaders or more specifically taking the initiative to prepare a detailed clan climate survey after the war which proved invaluable in collecting data for the current and incoming summits to hone in on what we were doing well and what we could, as a clan, do better to improve the experience of our members. I’ve had several younger members reach out to me to give thanks for the opportunity to have their voices heard by the summit and that positive impact on our clan morale only happened because of Ji’s initiative.

Please accept this small token of gratitude on behalf of the Clan that you continue to give so much for. You are among the best of us and continue to inspire future generations of Odanites.
