Sapphire Blade events for Mandalorian Vailhanz

Vailhanz (aka Bruno) has been an invaluable member of the Herald staff ever since he joined. Even under the previous Herald he was one of the keystones to quality in our little group. That has not changed. He offers advice and help freely and in every case he offers it with dignity and politeness. He works on requests and tasks with enthusiasm and always makes his work look effortlessly marvelous, and he keeps pushing the bar on his skills as well as challenging the rest of us to keep up, which is an excellent mentality for an artist to have. His critiques are fair and helpful, and with a good dose of teacher mentality, he enjoys helping other staffers in their work.

That's just a few of his qualities, but I will also list his work: Vailhanz has created 2 custom robes and 5 custom weapons for individual members, as well as 20 weapons for the selector during the 2025 Holiday Special, updating the 10-year old Armory Saber design to a modern look and style.

Great job, I'm beyond happy with your work, and I'm proud to request this award. Congratulations! :)

Vailhanz, aka Bruno, has been one of my most dependable Magistrates in both of my terms. His worth ethic is impeccable and he does his work quickly, efficiently, to a high quality standard and without much prodding. He has completed 5 custom weapons for members, 5 Howie knives for Taldryan for GJW XVI which the Clan loved, another 15 selector weapons and has done some decent work promoting art and being active in the art chat.

I'm very pleased with his work so far and hope he stays on as Magistrate and helps grow our Club's art community with his work.

Thank you, Bruno and congratulations :)
