It takes a lot of work to rally people to partake in a war. It's easy to get lost in the little details, or get stuck on your own submissions and forget that you have those folks relying on you to pump them up, get them excited, let alone they myriad proofing, suggesting, and other help that leaders give our members. On the other side of that, it takes a deft hand to sooth hurt feelings, when someone puts a lot of work into a submission, only to have it not place. It stings when that happens, and it takes a strong leader to help that member dust themselves off and learn from the experience rather than wallow in it. Vivackus in Plagueis and Rian in Taldryan both found themselves doing just that over the course of this last war and during Fading Light. For their efforts, I am awarding them both Sapphire Blades. ~Muz Ashen, the Lion of Tarthos

Since his last recognition (an Amethyst Kukri in February), Rian has participated in 18 competitions, earning himself a Crescent with Amethyst Star, a Crescent with Sapphire Star, 3 Clusters of Ice, and 6 Clusters of Graphite. In addition, Alaisy has informed me that he's completed an enormous amount of work in his capacities as Magistrate and later Praetor to the Herald, the details of which are included in her portion of the recommendation.
In light of his continued activity within Taldryan and his dedication to the HRLD Office, Alaisy and I hereby recommend Rian for the Sapphire Blade. Congratulations!

Rian is the veteran in the Herald office. He possesses a vast amount of knowledge in making custom graphics, especially weapon graphics. He produces so much work just by himself that it almost feels bad to ask him to do more. He has single-handedly kept the weapons request queue on Trello down and prevented the office from being overwhelmed. Aside from being a literal weapons factory he also helped instruct the newly hired Magistrates and me, providing step-by-step tutorials, guidance, and quality control on custom weapon graphics. He also assisted with getting me more familiar with the tasks the Herald is responsible for, how the mailing list works, and sharing some very good ideas.
It has only been 5 months since he was last rewarded, but in that short amount of time, he has created a staggering 131! graphics, consisting of 6 unique weapons, for May the 4th. This was all on his initiative. Meanwhile, he held the fort and created 7 completely custom lightsaber hilts, and eliminated the seemingly endless queue of requests. At the same time, he helped approve many art competitions and avatars.
I am fairly certain that there are things I might have missed, that he helps within the background, so many smaller and larger projects that happen behind the scenes. Without Rian, we wouldn't nearly have as many toys and they would certainly not look nearly as good as they do now. Hopefully, this reward will at least keep track of some of the things he does for this community because we are very very thankful to have him.

Since earning his last award, Rian has been a steady source of activity. He participated in 51 competitions, earning himself 10 Crescents (1 Amethyst, 3 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, & 1 Quartz). On top of this, Rian managed to acquire a Dark Side Scroll for contributing to improving the Club’s social media presence. He also managed to pass 5 Shadow Academy Courses and attain another Degree.
Overall, Rian is one of those active Elders who are always around to provide advice and share knowledge when asked but who are happy to sit back while other members make their mark on the Clan and Club.
Rian, Taldryan is lucky to have you. Congratulations on the Sapphire Blade. Happy stabbing!
