Event History

What can I say, Braecen Isradia Kunar is by far the most active member of any club I have ever been a part of. Braecen's motor runs at a level that others only dream of. I always worry that he will burn out, but amazingly he just continues to drive on being more and more active.

Over the past several months Braecen has served as PCON of Plagueis, QUA of House Exar Kun, AED of House Exar Kun, and Envoy of Exar Kun. During this time he has coordinated or led projects that have improved Clan Plagueis beyond imagination. These projects included the Creation of the Clan Plagueis Planetary System. This document is a massive description totaling 44 pages of 11 font times new roman type. Braecen coordinated this effort with a group of writers with the goal of creating a Clan System that was more detailed and longer than the rest of the Dark Brotherhood combined. His mission was accomplished!

On top of Braecen's planetary system opus, he has created the Clan Plagueis DJK+ promotion guideline, contributed to the Clan Fleet, Contributed to the Clan Possessions, authored the Prodigy of Plagueis document, co-authored the Clan History, and contributed to the Clan family name ceremony.

Braecen has also taken on the task of serving as the Plagueis Chronicle Editor. The Plagueis Chronicle is Clan Plagueis monthly newspaper that includes articles created from members all over the Dark Brotherhood. This very popular and detailed newspaper has been a source of activity and pride for the Clan for the past several months.

As I stated in the beginning, What can I say about Braecen Isradia Kunar....he is the most active member I have ever met and he is well deserving of this award! Congrats Braecen!

At the very end of October, 2005, Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae has shown the commitment and effort that few members of either the Clan or the Dark Brotherhood can match. The job of a Proconsul can be a thankless one, the “glory” as it were going mainly to the Consul of a Clan. Strategos has now been the PCON to two Consuls, and has maintained the same drive and dedication throughout.

For a time Arcona was not in the best of shape, a massive re-building needing to take place. During this time, Consul Denath had to go on an extended LoA due to some RL issues. As such, Strategos was named acting-Consul, and during that brief “reign”, he led Arcona and provided both guidance and leadership, keeping the houses in line, ensuring the House Summit were active, or removing them if necessary and replacing them with leaders who would continue on the work that was needed. It was he who began to re-shape the Clan, so that the foundation was already in place when a new Consul would come in. He was the one who created and ran the Clan-wide competitions while the Consul was on leave. He would be the one on IRC or through e-mail who would help smother and flames of dissent that may arise. During this period of time, I was named an advisor through more “unofficial” means, to help Strategos should it be needed. However, he was clearly the leader of the Clan for that time, as well as for much of the period after, his face becoming the “face” of the Clan.

As I ascended to become Consul, Strategos remained on as Proconsul. Since I’ve been Consul, his work has been exemplary. I use my PCONs as close advisor’s, bouncing ideas and programs off them. He has seen to offer all the advice he could, bring his experience to bare. He has watched out over the Clan, guiding me and advising me on competitions, awarding and the direction the Clan should take. During my own sudden LoA, Strategos was once again thrust into the role of acting-CON, and was once again successful. Arcona is a clan that has always had personalities that clashed. During this time, Strategos was alone, having to deal with these personalities and successful eased any tensions that they had been causing. He is respected and listened to by the Clan at large, his words carrying weight behind them. One could not ask for more in a PCON.

However, Strategos has also continued to be an active member of the DB during his time as PCON, continuing to participate in the various MP gaming nights (earning dozens of CFs); constant IRC presence and continually posts and keeps up on the forums. He is also the Clan Envoy for Arcona, and has ensured that our newest members are taken care of, our current crop of Envoys doing a fantastic job.

Overall, Strategos has done everything asked of him and more, his work dedicated to helping Arcona. For all that he has done, this reward is but a token of thanks

With this particular recommendation, one that I take a great deal of pleasure in writing, it is hard to know where to start. But, I will do my best. I have always said that it is never easy on my assistants, as I do a lot of work myself. But Welshman has stepped up the plate and worked hard no matter what, and he has been a great asset to his clan, and a great assistant.

I got to know Welshman back when Tarentum switched to the multi-order system and he became my Aedile. He and I got along very well, and he took on his share of the burden of running the new house Gladius. He helped keep the house active, filled in for me when I was on leave, and he became a valuable, and virtually indispensable, advisor and friend. When I stepped down from Quaestor, and then moved up to PCON, I knew that the house was in good hands.

Welshman proved himself a competent and excellent Quaestor. He continued what I had put in place, but he added his own touches to it, improving where he could. He ran competitions and helped design clan competitions. Welshman remained an advisor to me and a friend as well. When I moved up to Consul, there was little doubt that Welshman would be my Proconsul. His Aedile, whom Welshman had selected and helped train for the job, is still the Quaestor of Gladius to this day, thus showing how good of a job he did in doing in preparing and training the next leader.

As Proconsul, Welshman has become my go to guy in the clan. Award recommendations, commenting on the status of the clan as a whole and individual members, and helping me select leaders and plan competitions are just a good summary of what he has done. Welshman also took over running the master-student program as proconsul, keeping records of the master-student pairings and working to match people up. Welshman has also been charged with ensuring that all Trials for Knighthood operate well and he has also done this.

Welshman is a friendly, helpful, and active member of this clan. He constantly leads in word and deed. I have seen Welshman grow into his role in the clan, one that he has accepted and taken to heart.

When I was looking at his dossier, I was surprised that this had not been awarded a long time ago. It should be noted that Welshman was given the name Tarentae some time ago, a sign of true dedication to the clan. In short, this entire thing can be summed up that Welshman has shown long term dedication and service to the clan. Welshman has performed multiple services for this clan, in a variety of positions, over a long period of time. It is with great pleasure that I present him with this Sapphire Blade. ~Anshar

In his office of Special Magistrate to the Headmaster Smoke grades multiple exams and for months toiled grading Tests of Lore as they came in. He has also taken on a large part of approving members histories. For His dedication to the Shadow Academy, and doing a remarkable job in helping the SA reach 5,000+ exams graded in One Year, I award Ma`ar-Tyrius Ga-Tir this medal.

Sato does an amazing job working within both the SA and with the Envoys. He is a true asset to this club and alot of what goes on with the Envoys would not go nearly as smoothly without Sato. For his dedication to the Shadow Academy and Envoys, and doing a remarkable job in helping the SA reach 5,000+ exams graded in One Year, I award Sato this medal.

I was going to recommend this award for Ma'ar before he stepped down as QUA of Tridens, but now it makes it even more important. There's a lot one could say about Ma'ar and I hope that I do him justice with this recommendation. When Ma'ar became QUA of Tridens, the house was arguably in a rather uneasy state. It was going through various house summit changes rather quickly. Ma'ar was a stabalizing force for the house. His take no prisoners leadership helped ensure that Tridens remained a force to be reckoned with. He kept the house in tip-top shape: He encouraged older members to stay active and his work with the new members, both in the capacity of QUA and Envoy was top rate work. It is not often that someone gets to be someone's superior in three aspects of the Brotherhood, but I have done so with Ma'ar. I was his PCON, the KCB, and the Praetor to the Headmaster. I have seen Ma'ar excel in everything that was thrown his way and then some.

Ma'ar's personal activity level, especially in the Obelisk RoS, has also been outstanding, constantly on IRC, e-mail, and gaming. He led both in word and deed. In his own words, Ma'ar may have stepped on some toes in his time as Questor, but it was part of what made him a great leader. He didn't accept "no" from those under his command, or from himself, and he is without a doubt one of the most active, dedicated members of Clan Tarentum. When one person does so much, it is sometimes hard to see it all when you are in the middle of it. Having taken a step back, I can look at everything as a whole. This award is specifically for consistent service that is recognized on the whole, and Ma'ar most certainly has earned it.
