Emerald Dagger events for Blade Mistress Tahiri Thorn Morte Tarentae

Tahiri was an absolute rock throughout her tenure as Quaestor in Clan Plagueis, giving stellar service to the Clan over the last year plus prior to her move to Clan Arcona to serve as Proconsul. She was a constant activity motivator via her strong presence in Clan communication channels, social interactions, and personalized outreach to her members. The proof was in the pudding, especially with what levels of activity she was able to motivate out of the members during major scheduled events such as Ascending Conspiracy, Ascending Convergence, and the Ninth iteration of the Pro Bowl. House Ventress under her leadership was able to emerge victorious in both Ascending Conspiracy and Ascending Convergence. Ascending Conspiracy saw House Ventress manage 72 individual entries across 16 competitions, with 8 of 12 Ventress members managing submissions. In Ascending Convergence the story was much the same level of success, with 97 total submissions across 27 competitions and 8 of 13 members submitting entries to the event. I always maintained as Consul that the best metric to judge a leader by is to measure both their level of unit activity and the consistency with which they maintain it, and Tahiri was able to consistently year over year have her House showing up to the tune of over 60% participation rates. For Pro Bowl IX, she was also instrumental in working as part of a leadership team that saw Clan Plagueis able to generate a club high 269 total entries across the 33 Pro Bowl competitions. Tahiri wasn't just able to work as the leader of her own unit, but was able to seamlessly blend her efforts with the Clan's leadership team as a whole to drive the same sort of activity and engagement. This adaptability to work with subordinates below and superiors above were critical factors in her success as a leader and the success of Plagueis during her time there. In addition, Tahiri made critical contributions to the House Ventress Wiki project in late 2025. According to our tracking data, Tahiri averaged a contribution of 25% across the entire project, with contributions and work totalling over half of the articles for both the Azorian Citadel and Ice Station Zerek. This project was more than just writing down content, as instead it mostly involved taking information and ideas that was maybe a few sentences of basic guidance and form from me that had been knocking around in my head for years and then working through multiple brainstorming sessions to flesh them out and then write and format the articles themselves. Essentially, the entire fictional presence and structure of House Ventress would still be an imagined notion that I'd been kicking around for years without Tahiri's work as part of the team on this project. Nora has detailed Tahiri's raw numbers on the activity front, but I can say without a doubt that, even as impressive as those statistics may be, Tahiri's less quantifiable contributions to Clan Plagueis as a leader are even more impressive.

Thank you, Tahiri, for your years of tireless service!
