Primary reason

Zentru'la has always been one of our shining members, and even now continues to excel and demonstrate the values which define both him and his mercenary unit. This is clearly evident and shown through his earning of a Seal of Loyalty this past month. Since his last medal just over 4 months ago, he has participated in 91 competitions with an ever impressive Crescent split of 50 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 20 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, and 7 Crescents with Sapphire Stars; 77 total out of the 91 competitions he has taken part in. Amazingly well done, and phenomenal work!

He has also earned 2 GMRG ranks since then as well, and participated in two separate RPs with just under 5000 words total between them, in addition to 10 Clusters of Ice, and 7 Scrolls of Foundation.

Because of your continued efforts, I am proud to award you with this Amethyst Kukri on behalf of the Clan.

Congratulations, Zen! And thank you for everything you do.

Well it's been quite a journey hasn't it? And wonderful timing too for these to come together for you Sivall. I'll start with the numbers as I always do, though it's the least impressive part of what Siv has been up to these last months.

She has organised 21 Competitions, Co-organizing 12, participated in 165 (33 of which containers). This has earned her 1 Crescent with a Diamond Star, 11 with ruby, 7 with Amethyst, 9 with Sapphire, 1 with Topaz and 3 with Quartz. Not only that, but Siv has completed 36 gaming acitivities for 288 Clusters of Fire, and 24 Fiction activities for 70 Clusters of Ice across 17 roleplays, 1 of which she gm'ed as well as 6 typical fictions. But of course it doesn't stop there, as she's earned 42 Clusters of Graphite, 4 Dark Side Scrolls, passed 8 SA courses for 4 Degrees and in doing all of this gained 12 society rank ups and earned 647,470 credits for Arcona!

That's a lot for what, 7 months? Espeically considering that for 5 months Siv has been AED of Galeres and QUA for the last 3 weeks. She has been an exceptional leader, taking the mantle with ease. From encouraging activity with her members through posting regular questions and updates to gathering data on what her members want to do, she's been the fresh breath of air in Galeres that was dearly needed. Siv has created multiple wiki articles, and spent hours of her time researching Selen and the locations appearances to getting her members accurate information about the location that they're playing in. She's also done surveys, ensuring that events and activity reflect what people actually want to do. Reports (5 of which since last award) have been on time, filled with useful information and new graphics that she designs herself.

She also has been a wonderful addition to the summit internally, to being part of the transition in January as a source of non-stop help. Whether it was proofing reports, helping in admin documents and organisation or being on the ground with worried members to provide not only a soundboard, but a source of comfort and information. She played a large part in how smoothly everything went and that alone is huge as it was often hours of effort being put into it. The entire summit can speak to how much effort she puts in every day to keeping up with what's going on, being informed and acting accordingly. It's a pleasure watching Siv work and while sometimes Siv needs to be reminded of this, I have no concerns of Galeres' future under her care and guiding hand.

And I seriously need to catch on to the next Cards Against Humanity night Siv sets up. Make it soon blue-berry, and enjoy the stabby while you've got it. (Maybe carve your initials into Ood, he won't notice!)

Additional reasons

The Amethyst Kukri was originally meant to reward exceptional dedication towards improving your unit or the club as a whole. Recipients had shown their dedication and focus on furthering a specific aspect of the Brotherhood far beyond what was expected of them.

These days, the Amethyst Kukri is awarded to those who have earned a large amount of XP through activity as well as dedicated service to their unit and/or club.

Under both of these definitions and systems, I would be writing a recommendation to award this medal to Zosi’val’ria. Her work to revitalize the Galerean and Arconan DBWiki presence, her dedication to support the members of the House she is leading, her massively impressive social presence on Discord, her desire to deliver anything she works on to an exceptional level of quality would merit the Amethyst Kukri being given out. Add onto that the extremely impressive amount of activity she partakes in and I think I don’t need to explain further why I am writing this supporting recommendation.

Siv, enjoy your first Amethyst Kukri. You’re now no longer on the medal rails either, congratulations on moving beyond that system! Try not to use the big pink stabby item to carve your name into Ood’s bark ok?

Supreme Chancellor Ood Bnar, 2024-05-25 17:48:13 UTC

Congratulations, Zosi’val’ria! Not for the fact that when I read Miss Siv’s name I do so in the tune of ‘Beata Maria’ in Hellfire from the Hunchback of Notre Damn, and it brings the nostalgia back in full force of one of my favorite movies. No, congratulations for your hard work and commitment to this club earning you an Amethyst Kukri! Dominating out here in graphic comps, collaborating and weaving stories in roleplays and fictions, gaming with peers. And on top of all that, being a solid mantle of a leader within not only Galeres but Arcona as well. Checking on and hearing out your members, providing engaging competitions and questions, ensuring they receive and understand changes in clan and brotherhood. You are a beacon of guidance, support, and community. When faced with a challenge, you are unafraid to roll up your sleeves and hop into the thick of information, to ask questions and seek advice. Resourceful is the word I’m looking for.

So congratulations, Siv, on your Amethyst Kukri. Please explain to Ood when you converse about carving initials that a pinkish amethyst is a ‘raspberry’ and you are most definitely ‘The Blueberry.’ <3

Primarch Yuki Suoh has reached the required 11533 Medal XP to earn their first Amethyst Kukri.

Captain Jim Nova, 2024-05-24 00:35:56 UTC
Additional reasons

When I first returned to Odan-Urr things took... acclimation, for lack of better phrasing. I had spent 9 months in Arcona, preparing for and in the aftermath of War, in a sea of voices where often I would find myself lost in discussions if I looked away from my screen for more than a few moments. My first few weeks back home in COU were quiet, comparatively, but one of the first members to reach out to me personally and who has been a regular in my daily conversations has been Yuki. Whether it's making time to answer questions, reaching out to check about what's going on, general banter, or just a daily vibe check, he's been quick to make a joke, report back the situations around The Clan, or just showcase something new going down.

As a long-term member of The Brotherhood, with 24 years under his belt and a forward-thinking mentality, Yuki quickly became an advisor for me, and when we reformed the Knights of Allusis battle team, his experience with people and his forward outlook were defining elements in the decision for me.

In the time since then, as he's been a member of our Summit, Yuki has helped develop some of the new projects we've been slowly working into existence, served time and again to remind me to get my various projects out on time, and on a handful of occasions shouldered the burden of things I did not have the mindfulness at the time to handle, and helped our Proving Grounds BTL with the gaggle of new recruits COU has had, bringing them in line and working with them, at their pace, and helping them find their way in The Brotherhood a step at a time.

Drinks on you, tonight, Jack. Ever Onwards!

High Councillor Wolfe, 2024-05-21 06:46:01 UTC

There's a lot to say about Jack, some of which definitely isn't general public appropriate. While he might come off as the grumpy old man, he really does care about the member of COU and will actively go out of his way to help members if they need it. While he isn't, on paper, the most active of members he's always around in the discord talking in the channel. Before coming back to COU, I was close to just quitting the DB again as a whole and he was one of the main people to keep me here. I'm not the best at writing recommendations, but I had to chime in for Jack because this award is honestly a long time coming and he's a solid rock for the clan.

Reaper Ryuu Suoh has reached the required 11533 Medal XP to earn their first Amethyst Kukri.

Captain Jim Nova, 2024-05-24 00:35:46 UTC
Additional reasons

Ryuu Suoh, or as most of us know him, Nero, has been a part of my Brotherhood experience since the beginning, casually dragging me from another community to The Brotherhood into Clan Odan-Urr seven years ago, telling me about a good fiction writing community and gaming haven, failing to tell me about the (at the time) lack of standardized Roleplay (despite bringing me from a roleplay community) and throwing me into the maw of the Gaming Centric COU, where I was handily beaten in Jedi Academy by Blade, every available weekend until life pulled me from The Brotherhood.

Over the next few years, Nero would occasionally reach out to me and try and bring me back to the Brotherhood, occasionally I would pop in, and check the community out for a few weeks without rejoining a Clan because nowhere felt as homey as before. When I did finally alight, Nero was the one who set my feet on the ground and reintroduced me to The Brotherhood at large again, helped me regain my bearings, and got me settled with our friends back in Arcona.

Now, a year and a half later, he serves as our Magistrate in charge of COU's Gaming run, full circle with the ultimate reason he brought me to COU nearly a decade ago, bring friends, game with friends, get more people in the Clan Gaming. Something he has been proficient at.

Since he came to us as Magistrate he spun up competition after competition, following gaming trends, and keeping our boards loaded with activities for our members to partake of. The response was nearly immediate, faces we hadn't seen in some time began to stir, others began to add gaming to their regular activity log the program established has been widely successful.

Nero has proven to us that if you provide activities, members will join them, and routinely performed outreach within the Clan to stir those who had been quiet, to make sure they knew that the activities were there.

You've definitely earned this, Ever Onwards, Nero!

Brujah is an absolute unit.

Since his last medal on March 3rd, he has participated in 175 Competitions. That is 81 days, more than 2 competitions a day! He has written two fictions, gamed 15 times, completed 2 ACC battles, Passed 4 SA courses, ranked up in societies 10 times, earned 4 Diamond Crescents, 11 ruby, 13 amethyst 12 sapphire, 4 emerald, 197 CFs, 48 CGs, 12 CIs, and a scroll of the Master.

My man is literally doing ALL the things!

The amount of work he's put in the last couple of months is absolutely staggering. My inbox is just FULL of things with his name on them. He's out here doing the dang thang!

I am having such a hard time wrapping my head around the mountain of effort he's put in that I'm basically at a loss for words. Look at those numbers! In just under 3 months! INSANE! On top of the personal activity, he's helped his apprentice reach Knighthood and remains an active member of our Clan chat, how he has the time for Discord, I don't know. But, color me impressed. Brujah, you've more than earned this medal. You have been out there on the grind. It is so awesome to see the ferocity with which you have attacked. Keep up the fantastic work!

Additional reasons

Adept Malisane Sadow is one of our pillars within the Clan. When you speak of House Shar Dakhan, Malisane will always be a topic of that conversation. Although he has taken a well deserved reprieve from Summit duties, he still serves as a mentor to the current Quaestor. If one wants to know about expanding House territories, Malisane is your world building subject matter expert.

SInce his last recognition Malisane has bagged two hundred forty seven comps, twenty eight crescents, fifty four Crescents, thirteen Seals of Ascension and fourteen Seals of Transcendence.

Adept Malisane Sadow, you have reached the required Medal XP to earn your very first Amethyst Kukri. It is with great pleasure to be a part of this award and I am sure it will not be your last! Congrats Sir!!

Adept DarkHawk Sadow, 2024-05-20 20:18:32 UTC

Malisane has been a quiet pillar in the Clan for years at this point. He's not the type to draw attention to his accomplishments, but he has been grinding away at activities for as long as I can remember. Always coming out to support events, be it clan or club-wide, he's there to help encourage members and leaders alike to do more.

Malisane is also invaluable as an advisor, a sounding board for new ideas and concepts, and a steady hand to help new leaders keep at what can sometimes be an opaque and challenging role. All around, we are quite lucky to have Malisane as a pillar here in Clan Naga Sadow, and I am more than grateful to be able to add my words to his most recent (and third) Sapphire Blade.

Congratulations, and thank you for all that you have done, Malisane.

Requested by
Master Selika Roh di Plagia
Primary reason

Since his last medal award in October of 2023, Titius Osseus has continued to produce an absolute whirlwind of activity. On the score sheet, he's submitted entries to 201 non-container competitions. For those entries, he has netted placements to earn him the following crescents: 2 Ruby, 8 Amethyst, 5 Sapphire, 9 Emerald, 4 Topaz, and 2 Quartz. More impressively, he has brought home a combined total of 869 gaming crescents, showing an impressive level of gaming over the intervening months. Additionally, he has earned 24 Clusters of Ice for his writing, divided between two ACC battles, 1 fiction activity, and 7 roleplaying sessions. Rounding things out, he has also been granted 12 Clusters of Graphite, 4 Scrolls of Foundation for recruitment activity, and 14 Vendetta seals for his entries in the last Great Jedi War. Finally, he's even managed 10 Society rank increases across all six Brotherhood societies.

Beyond his exceptional level of trackable activity, Titius has also recently stepped up in a leadership capacity in the Ascendant Clan. Since assuming his current Quaestor role on the penultimate day in March he has demonstrated an admirable level of activity and engagement on behalf of his house members. He has completed both of his monthly reports so far, the first with only just over a week on the job. He's also been on the ball when it comes to site-generated medal and promotion requests, jumping on those in a timely manner to ensure members are rewarded promptly once they cross their required XP thresholds. Add that to his excellent efforts in the area of direct member outreach and activity generation, and you've got one of the stand out summit members in the Brotherhood.

For all of his efforts, I take great pleasure in recommending Titius Osseus for his first Amethyst Kukri. May it be just another step on his progression and advancement through the Brotherhood.

Sage Cassandra Oriana Taldrya
Primary reason

Since joining the Taldryan Summit, Meleu has been a powerhouse of a summit member and for that we are ever thankful. Having hosted 19 different competitions, and participated in another 15, he has managed to bring in 6 Crescents, 11 Clusters of Ice, 3 Clusters of Graphite, in addition to a Dark Side Scroll. He has also participated in three different RPs, with nearly 5,100 words between them; also pulling in 3 separate rank ups within the Envoy Society due to that; and an impressive 4 separate Shroud Syndicate rank ups in addition.

In January shortly after joining the summit, Meleu completed the arduous task of going through the entirety of the Taldryan wiki to create a spreadsheet detailing everything from top to bottom; the last time the page had been edited, our fictionally up to date pages, to pages that he felt needed updating, needed to be archived, were actively under construction (or were being constructed but had been left idle for an extended period of time), and obsolete pages that needed to be deleted. This detail included our military pages, former houses and our active assets, our current and older territories, non-playable characters (to which we've identified five separate ones that are being updated to be used once again, thanks to his efforts), and our auxiliary divisions. In total, he went through 105 different pages; and has currently made changes and contributions to 35 of those himself.

For our upcoming campaign, Sins of an Empire, he has been a critical asset in developing the fine details surrounding the environments in which it is going to be set. While we were busy at work writing the core story of which I can't go into much detail yet due to it yet having to have taken place to avoid spoilers getting out, he was busy creating the system itself; the Frelos System. Within the system, seven different worlds were created along with the main capital world; Trexxa. It is on Trexxa that the core of the first event is going to take place, and to facilitate its usefulness to members, Meleu went into deep detail on even its most miniscule of details.

Those being; Trexxa's strategic importance, the internal struggles and role that the DEC is going to play on Trexxa, the core impact that the Human League's efforts and iron-fisted rule of the Dalicron Sector have been having on Trexxa and its environment, how due to those efforts it has quickly been becoming a flashpoint and symbol of resistance within not just the Frelos system; but the sector as a whole; and the repercussions of this through both Dalicron and the surrounding sectors including our own.

He has also created several wiki pages for the Frelos System, Trexxa, and Palikir City; all completed and in final draft status approved by myself and Anders; ready to go onto the site itself in the coming weeks as we approach the event at the end of the month.

Even in summit chat, Meleu has been a constant presence giving ideas and thoughts into not just Sins of an Empire, but the direction of our clan narrative at large; story contributions into the Fortress Cloudhaven, and upcoming developments on Kasiya; our main homeworld.

You've done an amazing job so far, Meleu, and it is with great pleasure that I am able to bestow upon you your first Amethyst Kukri. Congratulations on behalf of myself, Anders, the rest of the summit, and Taldryan as a whole.

Drinks are on you!

Since his last medal, Teebu has organized 12 comps, including the Talydrithmas and Fortress Cloudhaven events, participated in 51, and DMed seven RP sessions for a total of over 20k words. Teebu has built a strong summit with the additions of Appius and Alaisy, and their hard work shows: for the first quarter of 2024, Taldryan saw an impressive 96% of its members participate in competitions.

Teebu is a constant and encouraging presence on Discord and has made a strong effort to build Tal's community while constantly looking for ways to improve the club as a whole. Congratulations, Teebu!

If there's one thing I know about Cassandra, (formerly known as Tiddles the Ewok before that character was eaten by our Justicar,) its that he likes to plan ahead.

Currently, the Taldryan Summit is in the process of preparing for the next major Clan event to take place sometime in the summer. Teebu has had us working since the start of the year in preparation for it. Whether it is aiding Meleu in updating/creating gods only know how many wiki pages, writing fiction updates himself, or assigning myself and Alaisy to faction and lore creation. He very much is the brain of the operation sending the commands to the other organs of the summit.

Weird metaphor aside, Cassandra developed the fictional background for the most recent Taldryan event, planning competitions, and developing story beats for the RP that run alongside it.

He's also a big proponent of the #OneBrotherhood initiative. We recently finished a joint Clan event with Arcona, Odan-Urr, and Naga Sadow. He brought it before the summit and voiced his approval of doing such an event with members all across the club.

Cassandra, Teebu, Tibbles, congratulations on your AK! You earned it!

Grand Inquisitor "Aequitas" Anderson, 2024-04-14 15:38:19 UTC

Since rejoining my staff in the fall as Magistrate to the Regent, Teebu (Cassandra) has been a force to be reckoned with; he’s handled a large portion of the QoL fixes that have gone on behind the scene with clan unit possessions, including description edits to several items to bring them in line with Wookieepedia, completing full stock rules audits on all five types of clan land vehicle unit possessions (which included at minimum adding an un-stock rule for Antrophos Military Academy), and decommissioned seventy four of those items from AMA’s inventory. He performed the same sort of audit on all clan space vehicle unit possessions.

Like all of my staff members Teebu was integral in the inception and deployment of our first step towards a refined crafting system, participating frequently in the mountainous talks, thresholds and costs and other factors we needed to take into consideration. He worked on the development of Member Corvette costs and pricing, added seven Member Corvette crafting material prototypes of his own, and worked to provide both pre and post-crafting framework launch support. He conducted two quality control passes on member corvette crafting materials, helped add both lightsaber and member corvette blueprints to the site, and went through the task of creating all of the clone “disassemble” recipes required to uncraft an item. He continued to spot check items post-launch by making sure crafting materials were not running empty why we investigated why they were not stocking correctly.

Once a year for the two previous years we have run our Life Day Celebration Series competition, and like other members of my staff Teebu helped both plan and execute that competition series run club-wide, personally participating as a judge on several of the competitions and ensuring a smooth event overall.

For his continued service to the Brotherhood at large, often from behind the scenes, I hereby append this recommendation. Thanks for all the hard work, Teebu.
