Event History

Inspirational, dedicated, and steadfast; these are just some of the adjectives I could use to describe Kora but it still feels like it's coming up short on how best to describe her. Quite simply, I haven't seen a member like Kora before in my 20+ years of this club. She's a competition juggernaut, easily in the top 5 of our clan's most active if not the club itself. Yet, she's remained grounded and often helps motivate others through a kindness and compassion that I find inspiration when I'm not awestruck. As such, today's token of appreciation, is just a drop in the bucket of how much thanks the clan owes her but alas it is an opportunity for us to celebrate the magnitude of efforts she's contributed to our community.

Since her last award, five months ago, Kora has participated in an astounding 195 competitions, 297 gaming activities, 3 fiction activities with a total of 2334 words. Kora has also pass 9 Shadow Academy courses while gaining 7 degrees. And she has earned 9 society rank-ups (5 Aurora Collegium, 1 GMRG, 1 Chroud, and 2 Envoy. In addition, she's earned 2 Silver Nova, 1 Broze Nova, 68 Crescents (6 Diamond, 5 Ruby, 9 Amethyst, 13 Sapphire, 15 Emerald, 12 Topaz, 8 Quartz) along with 1556 clusters of fire, 6 clusters of ice, 96 clusters of graphite, and 21 Seals of Animosity - which reflect the 425 points she contributed to Vizsla's GJWXVII efforts.

Merits are helpful when it comes to awards like these, but they don't always showcase the best parts of what a member contributes to our community. Vizsla is bettered by Kora in it, not just because of her activity, but in how through her normal operation it pulls others to compete, participate, and join in. There's a gravitational pull with her presence that brings others long with it and I have no doubt that Kora will be defining what it means to be a member of Vizsla for a long time. Thank you for your contributions and congrats on the RS, its the least we can offer you for all the great contributions you have made.

What I'd give to be able to clone Haro. Not only is he a force to be reckoned with as a content consumer, but Haro is also an active content provider for the clan and club. He's an absolute unit when it comes to contributing to our community and, today, I'd like to recognize his efforts and actions with a well deserved Ruby Scepter.

Since his last award, nearly a year ago, Haro has organized 32 (and co-organized 2) competitions while participating in an astounding 282 competitions. He's also participated in 51 gaming activities, completed 3 ACC battles with a total of 2344 words, participated in 10 fiction activities with 3733 words in regular fiction and 1318 words in roleplay sessions. Haro has also passed 10 Shadow Academy courses while gaining 4 degrees and blown up the societies with 17 total rank ups ( 2 Aurora Collegium, 6 GMRG, 3 Inquisitorius, 3 Shroud, 1 ACC, and 2 Envoy). Yet, Haro hasn't stopped there, as his competition placements have earned a mindblowing 177 Crescents (25 Diamond, 41 Ruby, 37 Amethyst, 30 Sapphire, 24 Emerald, 10 Topaz, and 10 Quartz) and 1 Gold Nova. On top of this he has earned 1008 clusters of fire, 17 clusters of ice, 84 clusters of graphite, 2 scrolls of foundation, 1 seal of loyalty, and 15 Seals of Animosity reflective of the 256 points Haro earned for Vizsla during the recent GJWXII. Throughout all of this, he's contributed 2,176,100 credits to the clan coffers.

Haro, as Ad Vizsla, you already were known as a pillar of our community. However, this metrics above reflect that no only are an active and participating member of our community but you are THE gold standard. Thank you for continuing to contribute to our community, Vizsla is bettered by your presence. Congrats on the RS, its well deserved and earned while being a small token of the clan's thanks for all your efforts.

Over the course of the last year, no one has contributed to Vizsla and its community as much as Azler has. The staggering amount of activity he has contributed is astounding, add to this the amount of new members he's recruited to our community and he's easily a pillar of the community, but then to take the weight of work he has done for Vizsla as Proconsul and it's time to make an example of this man...by pinning a new award to his dossier.

To start with, since his last award, Azler has organized 32 competitions, co-organized 5 more, and participated in 413 competition as a skilled competitor. He's completed an astounding 838 gaming activities, judged 2 ACC battles, and participated in 7 fiction activites; 4 fictions with a total of 6,236 words and 3 RP sessions, with 2414 words. To add to this, he's earned 4 bronze nova and a total of 127 Crescents (14 CR-D, 21 CR-R, 23-CR-A, 24 Cr-S, 16 Cr-E, 14 Cr-T, and 15 Cr-Q) throughout these activities, meriting a 15.6% placement rate along with 5847 clusters of fire, 22 clusters of ice, and 116 clusters of graphite. As pointed out above, his recruitment efforts have earned him 2 scrolls of the master, while his efforts in the Shadow Academy have led to 17 courses passed, 9 degrees gained, and 3 scrolls of foundation awarded for his corrections. In total, this has netted 2,773,720 credits for the clan's coffers.

Alas, while the above has greatly contributed to Azler obtaining the 25949MXP needed for a Ruby Scepter, I'd like to also address the 8,000 non-site XP that'd been added to his ledger. For nearly a year now, Azler has been my righthand man and Proconsul of Vizsla. Before that, he served 3 months as Quaestor and throughout all of this, he's been a boon to us by proving himself as an exceptional leader for Clan Vizsla. Throughout that time, he has been a reliable, energetic, and dedicated presence, providing the guidance and support needed to keep both myself and our Clan moving forward. Whether working behind the scenes as Proconsul or taking the lead as a participant, Azler has consistently demonstrated the passion and commitment expected of a top-tier Clan leader. An example of this was last fall for the ProBowl event, Azler was the first to step up and served as a Vizsla team captain during Pro Bowl, which required participation in our clan draft and ongoing promotion of the events. Not only did he champion his team forward to victory, but he was also a high placing individual. Again during the most recent GJW, on top of his Proconsul duties rallying the clan to participate, Azler also earned 4 bronze nova which did well to further Vizsla's GJW efforts where he earned 56 participation points and 214 placement points for a grand total of 270 points he contributed to the Vizsla war effort. As a result of his efforts, Clan Vizsla recorded 36 unique participants, averaging more than 45% participation across each phase and earning an impressive 2,607.96 points; which demonstrates that even while managing the responsibilities of Clan leadership, he remained committed to participating and supporting the Clan's success.

Aside from the war and major event efforts, on a daily basis Azler is also a great leader. To start, Azler has been a consistent and welcoming presence in the Vizsla channels on Discord. He's also grown our community from his efforts in Vizlsa by developing a strong Where Winds Meet community in the club and bringing new members to the guild into Vizsla. Always present and always willing to interact with others while encouraging conversations about star wars, our supported games and providing guidance to new folks in our community, Azler is also a big contributor to our daily conversations and getting folks interested in competition opportunities that may be of interested to him. Frankly, I see this as one of Azler’s great features - he is a discord champion, starting or continuing conversations, helping or welcoming others, and stepping up to help hype events for the clan. No doubt this is how we continue to have so many new folks try different competitions.

It's an incredible pleasure to make this recommendation today. Vizsla is home to a variety of notable members, yet each any list would be incomplete without the inclusion of Azler. It's been just shy of a year since Azler took over the Proconsul office and we've been blessed with his contributions ever since. While this token is a way of saying thanks for that, it's also a mark of just how much Azler had put into our community. We are better because of you, thank you for your work, my friend.

Over the past year, Vincent has continued to be one of the cornerstones of Clan Scholae Palatinae. As my Hand and PCON, he has consistently gone above and beyond to support the clan. Whether he's helping organize our efforts, lending a hand to someone who needs guidance, or simply bringing humor to everyday conversations, Vincent has made an immeasurable impact on our community.

Since receiving his last award, Vincent's level of activity has been nothing short of exceptional. He has participated in over 350 competitions, earned 27 rank advancements within all the Societies, accumulated an incredible 5360 Clusters of Fire, 155 Clusters of Ice, 114 Clusters of Granite, and 84 Crescents across multiple activities. His efforts have also generated more than 2 million credits for CSP.

One of Vincent's greatest contributions has been his dedication to RP. The roleplay campaigns he has created for CSP have been a tremendous boon to the clan, providing engaging stories that have consistently been well received by our members. Organizing and running these events requires an immense amount of planning, creativity, and time, and Vincent has repeatedly delivered experiences that bring our community together. He has written over 53,000 words for roleplay activities, served as DM for six campaigns, and been an active participant in fourteen others. That level of commitment is remarkable, and I deeply appreciate the countless hours he has invested in making our clan and the Brotherhood a more engaging and enjoyable place for everyone.

Beyond the numbers, what I appreciate most is the kind of person Vincent is. He creates an environment where members feel comfortable getting involved, asking questions, and enjoying their time in the Brotherhood. His positivity, sense of humor, and willingness to help never go unnoticed. And he leads by example every single day.

Vincent's efforts over the past year have strengthened CSP in countless ways, both through his leadership and the example he sets for others. His dedication, consistency, and passion for our community are second to none. I am incredibly grateful for all that he has done, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for another bonking stick. Congrats Brujah!

When you look at the staggering amount of activity that Jenni is able to produce, you’d be hard-pressed to believe she achieves all that while battling illness constantly. I truly mean it when I say she is the heart of Clan Taldryan; I can hardly remember what it was like before she transferred here. Though her last award was less than a year ago, quite a bit has happened. First, she was promoted to Elder! She also has served as both Magistrate and Praetor to the Voice, Magistrate to the Fist, Wiki Tribune, Magistrate to the Consul for one Consul and Proconsul for another. Her list of achievements is longer than a CVS receipt, so buckle up.

Since her last award, Jenni participated in 158 competitions across every category, as well as organizing 10 and co-organizing another 9. For her efforts she has earned an impressive haul of awards; 2 Gold Novae, 2 Silver Novae, 1 Bronze Nova, 14 Crescents with Diamond Star, 14 Crescents with Ruby Star, 12 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 6 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 6 Crescents with Emerald Star, 5 Crescents with Topaz Star, 4 Crescents with Quartz Star, and 22 Seals of Animosity. Jenni is a prolific roleplayer, participating in 29 sessions and tallying up over 57,000 words! Combined with the 17,000 words from her many fiction submissions and another 4,000 words from her two completed ACC matches, she earned 185 Clusters of Ice! If you think that is a lot, then her 8,636 Clusters of Fire from 644 gaming activities will truly blow you away. Not to be outdone in any category, Jenni collected 72 Clusters of Graphite as well. In the Shadow Academy she completed 18 courses and earned 6 new degrees.She ranked up her Societies 8 times, including 5 in the Aurora Collegium of Sciences, 1 in the Shroud Syndicate, and a further 2 as an ACC Judge.

During the GJW Jenni organized competitions and groups for every category of activity within the Clan. She rallied the members everyday in the Discord and kept them motivated, both with her humor, and her continued efforts to be at the top of the gaming leaderboard every week. She earned an absolutely breathtaking 595 points during the GJW with her contributions, ⅙ of the total points earned by the Clan. I can say without a doubt we would not have achieved third place without her.

Jenni jumped in the role of Proconsul for Clan Taldryan headfirst, taking on the duties after I was abruptly promoted to Consul, and she has excelled in every way. She is always ready to write a fiction update or put together a spreadsheet, I swear sometimes she's got the fastest fingers in the Brotherhood. I work closely with her for everything on the Summit. She's not just my Proconsul and peer but also my partner, and she carries the relationship for sure. Even using this awards sweep as an example, she put together a full spreadsheet for every member and then went through and did every recommendation she was able to, to ease the workload that I had to complete and make the process as easy as possible. She has and continues to go far beyond what is asked of her, and I am eternally grateful to have her at my side.

Thank you Jenni for everything that you do, you deserve this award and many, many more! Congratulations!

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.

I am pleased to recommend Orv Dessrx for the Ruby Scepter in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood website. Over an extended period, Orv has consistently invested his own time and initiative into improving the codebase, regularly identifying opportunities for meaningful enhancements and implementing them, often without needing to be asked. His work has had a lasting impact on both the member experience and the long-term health of the club.

Orv has delivered major features across a wide range of systems. He implemented modern passkey authentication, bringing the Brotherhood's login experience in line with current security standards while maintaining compatibility with existing authentication methods. He completely redesigned the site's footer with a responsive, modern layout that improves navigation and usability across devices. He expanded the ACC to support multiple characters per combatant, requiring substantial changes across the data model, user interface, validations, integrations, and expansion of the automated test suite, all while preserving backward compatibility.

His work has also been instrumental in modernizing the Possessions system. Orv expanded the inventory management interface with drag-and-drop functionality, transforming what was once a cumbersome workflow into an intuitive experience through careful frontend and backend engineering. Likewise, he led the development of the new C-SIR Character Sheet Reference, replacing an aging tool with a mobile-friendly, character-aware resource that significantly improves how members access and navigate character sheet-related information. Both projects have been publicly recognized as major quality-of-life improvements for the membership.

Beyond these headline features, Orv has consistently contributed numerous smaller improvements, including performance optimizations, accessibility enhancements, expanded automated test coverage, and modernization of existing systems. These changes may be less visible individually, but collectively they improve the reliability, maintainability, and longevity of the Brotherhood's website.

Orv's willingness to identify problems, propose solutions, and see them through to completion without prompting exemplifies the initiative and technical excellence recognized by the Ruby Scepter. His contributions have meaningfully improved both the developer experience and the experience of every member who uses the website. Considering how much Ruby Orv has added to the Brotherhood's codebase, it seems only appropriate that his next award bears the same name.

Erinyes is a huge asset to Clan Taldryan, not just because of her many statistical contributions but also for her insight and knowledge. Since her last award she was promoted to Elder 2, served diligently as both Emissary and Magistrate to the Seneschal, and assisted the Taldryan Summit on several developments, which took up much of her time. Even still, Erinyes organized 3 competitions and co-organized another 16. She participated in 88 competitions and earned many shiny awards in the process: 1 Silver Nova, 1 Bronze Nova, 1 Crescent with Diamond Star , 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 2 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 2 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 4 Crescents with Emerald Star, 2 Crescents with Topaz Star, and 2 Crescents with Quartz Star. Across those competitions(and her many gaming activities - 268!) Erinyes also accumulated a massive 3854 Clusters of Fire, 151 Clusters of Ice, and 44 Clusters of Graphite. Additionally she earned 2 Scrolls of Foundation, 1 Seal of Loyalty, and 14 Seals of Animosity. She was also recently honored with the title of Taldryan Gatekeeper, awarded for her dominant points haul over a 6 month period, showcasing her activity and dedication to the Clan.

Erinyes participated in 18 Roleplaying sessions and DM’d 14 sessions which, combined with her 6 fiction activities and her 1 ACC match completed add up to over 70,000 words! She also judged 2 ACC matches during that time. Not neglecting any area, Erinyes completed 8 Shadow Academy courses and earned 8 degrees! She ranked up her Societies 11 times, once each in the Shroud Syndicate and as both an ACC participant and judge, as well as 3 times as an Envoy Corps participant and 5 times as an Envoy Corps organizer.

Erinyes has stepped up in many ways to help in the story development of Clan Taldryan. Specifically, under the previous Summit she helped plan and flesh out the Civil War arc to be more interactive with participants. After that, she was part of the decision to ultimately step away from the Civil War arc and assisted in setting up the foundations for a viable replacement storyline. Erinyes was also part of a select group who worked towards the creation and development of a new planet in the Caelus system.

During GJW XVII: Animus, Erinyes was crucial in assisting the Clan Summit in the planning and execution of the Clan’s third place finish. She gave me invaluable advice on how to motivate the members of the Clan and keep them active throughout the war, as well as organizing group based activities and competitions, even making a dedicated GJW Gaming matchmaking thread to consolidate the gaming activity to one channel and keep the members updated with points totals. I’m confident without her efforts Taldryan would not have been able to achieve the success it has.

It’s my honor and privilege to be one of the many people contributing towards this well deserved Ruby Scepter! Congratulations!

Supreme Chancellor Narman Losa Taldrya, 2026-07-27 01:21:21 UTC

Wolfe has served within my hierarchy as both Consul and now Voice. In this time, he has demonstrated himself to be intensely passionate when it comes to the story of the experience within the club. Whether it be individual characters, clan fiction, or club-wide, he takes to it all as something important to both tell and consume. This is an excellent passion to have, especially now that he is responsible for crafting and understanding the club-wide narrative and how clans impact it. Thankfully, this is also tempered in two ways: he indulges in jokes and knows when to be serious. This is so important to make it so the fictional experience is not draining and levity is still available. A trait we’ve all seen in Star Wars.

Since his last recognition, Wolfe has served 10 months as Consul for Odan-Urr and 6 months now as Voice of the Brotherhood. While he is awarded CIs for the various chapters (during and prior to the Wars and other Vendettas and events) released as Voice, this doesn’t truly encompass the sheer work effort that goes into it. There’s a reason the “Story Group” exists. So much planning and coordination goes into those fictions. At the same time, he has demonstrated his desire for streamlining our systems. This is best shown in the push and eventual release of the Character Sheet Reference interface that replaces both C-D4WG and our Wiki to create a single source of truth when it comes to the Voice systems. No more making the same update in multiple places! This is a huge win. Beyond that, his tenure has seen a variety of Feat rework passes, Species reviews and approvals, as well as an ever growing list of office changes and system reworks.

I look forward to the work to come, but can only speak to what has been completed. With the above, I am happy to recommend Wolfe for a Ruby Scepter in recognition. Thank you, Wolfe. Being the Voice puts a lot of visibility on not only your work within the office, but your narrative voice itself. And everyone has an opinion there. My opinion is that you should be rewarded and I’m glad to do it.

Donny is a workhorse wrapped in the bark of sass and the art of trolling. Not one to be felled, or to cry timber, he has constantly worked within the gaming community sharing interesting new products and encouraging people to play together. I honestly can’t think of a time where he wasn’t one of the clubs more prevalent gamers. But he also serves as an important voice in Council level discussions. He absolutely won’t hesitate to identify bull and call it out. There’s a stubbornness there. An unwillingness to yield on who he is and what he’s passionate about. And he translates that passion into success.

The Fist is a position within the Brotherhood that is deceptive. It seems quiet. Unassuming. It’s just paperwork right? Focused on the approval of games and CFs? Wrong. It's community. And Donny has pushed for community throughout his service as Fist. Often suffering the passions of that community, Donny has taken to the office of Fist to ensure continuing and lasting collaboration in play and experience. Notably, he took the Battlepass project through its entirety as a replacement for the aging leaderboard system and made it complete. Now in the wild, members have engaged with the Battlepass and known exactly where and how they stood in their path to unlocking the awards it provides and the specialized items that Councillors have designed over the years. As well, he’s held a constant finger to the pulse of the gaming community, looking at constant balancing passes in a never-ending battle against the “grind” and ensuring the value of our Crescents remain.

For all those reasons, and the community fostered that includes multiple chat threads dedicated to specific games that constantly yells at me to read them, I am happy to recommend Donny for a Ruby Scepter in recognition. Thank you, Donny. You have given of yourself to this club even to the detriment of your sanity time and time again. The least I can do is recognize that.

Side note: don't you dare hand me a physical letter addressing me as Grand Master again!
