The journey to Knighthood is a very individualized one with no two members taking the same path. Ryan Neale’s path has been one of perseverance, but he certainly finished strong and the day has finally arrived. Since his last promotion Ryan has participated in 10 competitions, passed 4 Shadow Academy courses, received a Crescent with Sapphire Star, a Crescent with Emerald Star, a Pendant of Blood, 11 Clusters of Ice and a Dark Side Scroll for authoring an ACC venue. He has completed all the requirements for Knighthood.

Since his most recent return to active service in the Clan Ryan has become a vocal and enthusiastic part of the Odan-Urr community both on Telegram and the mailing list. I’m certain that this is only the beginning for him. So, congrats on your Knight saber brother and Sons of Vorsa for life!

Adem Bol’era has been an exemplary member of House Qel-Droma since his return to activity. Today I am honoured to be rewarding his hard work with his promotion to Equite I, welcoming him into the Equite ranks. Congratulation, Adem. This is very well earned.

Since his last promotion Adem has participated in 48 Competitions. In this time he has submitted 76 PvE Activities and 6 Fiction Activities. Collecting 11 Crescents (4 Cr-S, 6 Cr-E 1 Cr-T), 1 Pendant of Blood, 172 Clusters of Fire, 481 Crescents of Earth and 88 Clusters of Ice. He has written 24932 Words of Fiction, excluding ROs and any work done on project basis.

Adem has been an active participant in character development discussions on Telegram, helping others by asking questions while learning things about his own character. This resurgence has lead him to get back into the Brotherhood. He did this by volunteering to participate in the Journeyman Tournament, where he made it to the second round. Despite being eliminated, he completed two full matches with each post near-to-cap at 1,000 words each. Even in defeat, he has shown a positive reaction to the judgement and is, in my opinion, a prime example of what we look for in Equite members of our club.

In addition to his activity as part of general membership he has also server as Battle Team Leader for 7 Months and Battle Team Sergeant for 6 Months. Aside from his work in Leadership he has been very involved in the development of Qel-Droma’s new Battle Team, Styx. Adem is a breath of fresh air and his ideas and feedback has been and will always be both welcome and valuable.

Adem also earned a Dark Cross for his contributions to Venues 2.0, specifically with his re-writing and working of the Kamino Landing platform venue.

Combined with his aforementioned time as a leader in Arcona and general activity, I am happy to see Adem take the step from Knighthood to Equite. Here’s to more great things to come.

When one looks back on all the Aidens who have been in the Brotherhood, one can say without a doubt that Aiden Lee Deshra is definitely #BestAiden. Mind you, his competition isn't too strong, so I'll elaborate below.

Aiden has been in his position with Taldryan for a few short months now. Since he's taken on the Aedile leadership role, he has produced 15 competitions at the Clan- and DJB-wide levels. When I look at leaders, I consider encouraging and providing activity outlets to be one of the great jobs that falls on their shoulders. With the sheer volume of competitions in the few months since taking on the role, I'd say that Aiden has more than fulfilled that responsibility.

One of the other things I look at when judging leaders is how accessible they are to their members. He has a quick email response time. He is also a mainstay in our Telegram channel, contributing to conversations and debates - he manages this without flooding the channel with stickers and GIFs!

While I feel that his leadership can stand on its own to earn this promotion, his personal efforts over that span are just as impressive. He's been credited with participation in 74 competitions, pulling in 29 crescents, including even Cr-D! He's earned more than 250 clusters, both of Fire and of Ice. He's finished 11 SA courses to earn himself another 4 degrees. The personal stuff is just icing on the cake!

So, without further ado, promote #BestAiden today!

Best Aiden continues to be the best - and a model for all other Aidens in Taldryan and the Brotherhood. He’s an extremely well rounded member, looking to try anything and everything - and he’s moving towards being a great leader and administrator too! Since his last promotion in November he’s organized 15 competitions (ranking in the 1% of organizers in the Brotherhood in the last quarter, according to the Deputy Grand Master), and participated in 66 (plus 8 container competitions), and when you pair that with the 28 crescents he’s earned, that’s a placement rate of about 33% - which ain’t too shabby if you ask me. Additionally, the Best Aiden (I think Bestest might be a better term, frankly) has also completed four Dark Side Degrees (Mavens in Writing and Lore, Savants in Writing and Philosophy, and Tactics), earned himself 209 Clusters of Fire, a damn impressive 44 Clusters of Ice, and oh yeah - a Steel Cross and Dark Cross.

Bestest Aiden is going to be one of the heroes that Taldryan needs, and this is the next step in his journey! Congratulations on your promotion to Mystic!
