There are times when the systems just miss us and events of antiquity have failed us, here is one such case, when I first came to Clan Odan-Urr, years ago, you had recently resigned as the Proconsul. Your CSV shows a record of a man who has danced around where you could best serve and act in the interests of both Clan and The Brotherhood, serving various posts through the years, and despite it all, are only now earning your First Sapphire Blade. Words alone cannot convey the services you offered the community, nor can they make up for the egregious failing in how long it has taken to award you this fine reward. But, as the current Proconsul of Clan Odan-Urr, alongside updated systems throughout The Brotherhood, I am happy to make sure we right that wrong in giving you this reward.

Ever onward, Mar.

I am sure there is little that I could say that would truly encapsulate the reasons why Vyr has earned this and many other accolades over the years. This is another case of the system catching up to the great things a person has done and giving them their due rewards. Vyr has been a solid figure in our history for years, offering council, leadership, and support to the Clan through some of its best and worst times, beyond that, Vyr is no stranger to The Council, having served numerous positions throughout. So, today, Vyr, take this small token for everything you've done, and everything you keep doing for Clan and Club.

Ever onwards!

It feels like only weeks ago I stepped into the shoes of your former PCON as they ascended your role, and here I am, offering up another reward to you as the paradigms shift once more. You helped lay the ground floor for everything we're working toward now, while still taking some time out of your day to hang around, get your own credits in, and take the time to enjoy things from the bleachers. In the last couple of months you've joined us for a handful of competitions, 7 to be precise, and thrown down for some gaming. And while I haven't had much to ask, you've been available the few times I have with quick answers, something I appreciate greatly.

Ever onwards!

Well, what a welcome back to the Clan this is, eh. Armags? Since you've returned, and despite IRL circumstances, you've been active within the Taldryan chat, letting your personality shine and answering questions as they came.

I don't know how you haven't had a Sapphire Blade yet, but you do now! Congratulations on your Sapphire Blade, Armags!

The Bully Bunny. The Mando with the hops. A feisty, spirited worded warrior who’s all about family, even if it may seem they want to kill each other at times. But that strong sense of family echoes Asani Armis’ sense of community. She is an active and integral part of not only Arcona but of the Art community as well, always present, engaging and encouraging her fellow members. If anyone needs aid, she is willing to help. For example, Asani aided Soufila “Sagitta” Douve Armis, a Magistrate of the Fist, with testing out a pokemon game for possible competition making. While the game was not suitable for our formats, the near hour dedicated by Asani was greatly appreciated!

Since her last medal, Asani has earned the 5125 Medal XP required for her first Sapphire Blade! She has done 53 competitions; netting her 1 Diamond, 3 Ruby, 2 Amethyst, 5 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, 2 Topaz and 1 Quarts Star Crescents. The kushiban mandalorian has participated in 16 gaming trials, earning 102 Clusters of Fire. She has been an active roleplayer, writing 20,708 words over the course of 11 roleplays and gaining 41 Clusters of Ice. Her 8 art competitions earned her a total of 25 Clusters of Graphite. And she passed a Shadow Academy Course, keeping up with her studies. These activities helped her rank up in the GMRG and Shroud syndicate twice, and the Inquisitorius once and advance four times with the Envoy Corps as a rp participant.

Congratulations, Asani Armis, on your first Sapphire Blade! I await to see what other challenges you accomplish in the future. May the stars guide your path!

Since his last formal recognition, which is apparently a Sapphire Blade I wrote in 2013, to show my age, Dark Jedi Master Troutooper has actually earned enough experience to give me the honor of writing a follow up award. While Trouty is off in the sea of life, living his best life, it is fun to be able to look over his dossier and remember how much joy having him in the club and in Arcona was.

That said, since that Sapphire Blade, Trouty has been documented as having participated in 46 competitions, written 5,098 words of ACC fiction, done 5 fiction activities such as a Run-On, three Fiction comps, and by process of elimination and my art-school level math 1 ACC match. Nice. He also ranked up 16 times in the different socities, earned a Silver Nova, 33 Clusters of (r)Ice, 34 Seals of the Crusader (I think those came after the Dark Crusades ended, so it's good we're cataloging those since that was 2 years of getting to write with Trouty every other month on a schedule), 11 Seal of Revelation, 3 Clusters of Fire, some Crescents with stars of different kinds, 28 news post comments, 3 courses, 1 degree, and co-organized 1 whole competition.

Hooray, numbers!

Anyway, with all the other old people getting their dues, I'm honored to be able to reach into the vaults of the Underdark to drege this award up.

Enjoy another thing to hypothetically stab people with. Just remember that flippers require extra grip and attention.

Blub.
