Primary reason

It is a great honor to recommend that Alara Deathbane be awarded a Grand Cross for her continued exemplary service as a leader, mentor, member, and clan mate. Since her last recognition, Alara has continued to be a most stellar Aedile for House Excidium, keeping in constant contact with her members, working with Shadow on the TA BT, and running a smooth ship. With 29 different competitions organized, and a further 3 co-organized, there is little doubt about Alara's passion and drive to generate fun activities for her members. She is always pushing out new ideas for competitions, and of all of the leadership in the clan, I know I never ever have to reminder to have things being run.

She has also gone on to help develop the new House Excidium sub-floatilla, a section of our fleet specifically designed around Excidium's expanding lore and role in the clan. That role itself continues to be pushed forward by the efforts between herself and Braecen. It has been very awesome to see just how quickly Alara has jumped into the leadership life, taking to it like a fish to water. Anytime any member has voiced anything resembling an issue or complaint, Alara has been the first to reach out to them, often settling issues before the rest of us step in.

As a member Alara has gone on to participate in 44 competitions, play 15 PvP matches, 1 PvE, 5 ACC Battles, and 5 different fiction events. This has netted her 2 Ruby Stars, 4 Amethyst Stars, 4 Sapphire Stars, 2 Emerald Stars, 1 Topaz Star, 1 Quartz Star, 105 Clusters of Fire, 12 Clusters of Earth, 31 Clusters of Ice, and 13 Clusters of Graphite.

Congratulations Alara! Drinks are on you!

I am honored to support Alara Deathbane as she continues her progression in this club as both an amazing member and aspiring leader. It is my distinct pleasure to award her a Grand Cross of the Dark Side to complete her merit medal collection. You have served your Clan and House admirably; thus, serving the Brotherhood as a whole. Keep your focus and dedication and you will know no limits as a mentor and leader.

Since her last recognition, Alara has participated in 44 competitions, (co)organized 32 competitions, submitted 15 PvP Matches, logged 1 PvE Activity, finished 5 ACC Battles, penned 5 Fiction Acitiviites (4882 words!), passed 4 Shadow Academy courses, and gained 1 Dark Side Degree. In addition to her excellent activity, she has collected numerous awards: 13 Crescents (2 Cr-R, 4 Cr-A, 4 Cr-S, 2 Cr-E, 1 Cr-T), 105 Clusters of Fire, 31 Clusters of Ice, 12 Clusters of Earth, 13 Clusters of Graphite, and 1 Seal of Loyalty. In addition, she oversaw the architecture and proofreading of our most recent House Fiction Updates in May and June; she helped breath life into other's visions and directed others whom helped write by providing quality control. She is constantly seeking to find new ways to engage her members and it shows up. Every. Single. Day. This is evident in her monthly organization of competitions that are then ran by her or members of House Excidium. She facilitates so that she can share her experience with younger members, engage members who are wandering, and empower the aspiring. She does this each month and pours countless hours into setting up events and working with others.

Not only has she been an activity dynamo, Alara serves as the Aedile, and Heir, to House Excidium. Her work ethic is relentless on behalf of her members. She is constantly working with members to develop competitions, reporting regularly (or releasing relevant information to aid her members), proofreading their work, auditing their activity, or honing her leadership skills as she progresses towards Quaestor. Most importantly, she is stepping up to audit the House activity on a regular basis. She combs through each dossier to capture their activity, so we can make determinations on who should be awarded and promoted. This requires several hours of detail work each month.

I am honored to have you as my protégé, Alara. Keep up the tremendous effort for your fellow members. You make me exceptionally proud.

Primary reason

I am proud to present Alara Deathbane a Grand Cross Cross for her exemplary efforts as a role model for both her House and Clan. There are few members that work as diligently or as hard as Alara. She is someone that our members should - and do - look up to.

Since her last recognition, Alara has participated in 40 competitions, organized 19 competitions, submitted 7 PVP Matches, penned 3 Fiction Activities (2711 words!), passed 4 Shadow Academy courses, and gained 2 Dark Side Degrees. In that same time, she has collected numerous awards: 7 Crescents (1 Cr-R, 1 Cr-A, 4 Cr-S, 1 Cr-T), 16 Clusters of Fire, 5 Clusters of Ice, and 24 Clusters of Graphite. She has also held the position of Aedile before transition to the role of Quaestor of House Excidium. Her efforts as a leader continue to impress as both an individual consumer of activity and a high-level producer of content that excites our membership. This includes two House Fiction Updates that total well over ten pages: The Empty Chalice and Starving Gods.

Keep up the effort, kiddo. You are a wonder to watch at work and I anticipate even greater things from you in the future. Very proud of your achievements.

Exceptionally active both in terms of her own activity record and her contribution to the clan leadership, Alara is everything we hoped she would be when she joined the summit team. She brings with her an excellent combination of work rate and pragmatism, and has done a great job of organising her house and her leadership team.

Her recent creation of a House Excidium Leadership Calendar, which contains all the major events, reporting days, competitions, project deadlines, etc. for the house and its subunits outlines her organised approach to leadership. Furthermore, Alara never forgets her members and is very quick to recognise those who deserve it.

When Alara joined the clan and made her way through the journeyman ranks everyone spoke about how she would be a future leader of the clan. She has surpassed all expectations. Thanks for everything you do for us.
