Ah yes, Vodo. My slave, cabana boy, whatever you want to call it.

Vodo has been my Aedile since I was Quaestor of Ektrosis, and I would certainly have it no other way. While we may have different views regarding some issues, we have no problem reaching a consensus 100% of the time. Consistently active and always putting ideas out in the air, Vodo picks up any slack I leave plus more. His reports are always on time, his competitions are generally successful, and he's one of the best members of Ektrosis I've ever had the privilege to be with.

The promotion to Archpriest is considerably more difficult than the path to Priest, but this is of little concern to our friend Mr. Biask. Vodo is the stereotypical Krath – he writes, loves fiction, has a penchant for learning, and smells funny. Without him, Ektrosis would not have the fictional developments it has today, particularly the Library of Lears. While he may have been rewarded for his work on that project some time ago, he was the organizer, master-mind, and major influence behind its completion.

I congratulate Vodo on his hard work and dedication to his friends, House and Clan, and I hope his superior attitude that he consistently maintains continues to bring light to our beloved House. Good work, Archpriest, you've earned this!

Vodo has been a member of Taldryan for a long time, about the same time I've been here, and he has always been there for his House. They have been lucky enough to have him in a leadership position now for the last 8 months.

During the time since his promotion to Krath Priest, Vodo has filed 16 reports, ran a continuous competition in the AED's Challenge for his members, helped Sklib on projects and larger events in House, done some graphic work for Chaos and I, and has continued to be an active member in his own right. He's just as active in normal activities as he is in leadership, which I think is very important, considering him winning 6 Crescents, a Legion of the Scholar, and a few Clusters of Fire. He stepped down from a SA spot last month after serving well there as well.

His contributions to his Clan and House are heavily valued and with a promotion to Krath Archpriest we thank him. Congratulations and thank you for your continued loyalty and service!

This has been an award waiting for Vodo for so long, and it's my pleasure to finally give my Aedile the recognition he deserves for his service in Ektrosis and Taldryan. When I first joined the Brotherhood, Vodo was a guide of sorts to me, and helped me through a lot of my initial struggles as a leader in Battleteam Hex. I had little idea what I was doing, and he coached me up and gave me pointers on the best way to raise activity and prove I was a dedicated member of the House. After building Hex to its pinnacle of activity and domination, I was appointed Aedile of Dinaari and left my beloved House Ektrosis for a few months before returning again to fill a vacancy of QUA due to some Summit position shifting. Vodo had sprung in activity over this period of time, and left Hex himself to become BTL of Phoenix, a struggling Battleteam.

During this time period, Vodo organized the Ektrosis Olympics under QUA Chaosrain's approval, and the Battleteams had a series of events that tested each member against their brothers and sisters in other Battleteams. The competition was beautifully organized, and went fairly well than most anticipated. His eagerness to raise activity and engage other members of his House has been a constant theme in his years in Ektrosis, and was recognized by his appointment to Aedile as I transferred back to Ektrosis. I was more than delighted to work with Vodo, and really wouldn't have it any other way. He's friendly, good-natured, and always in a positive mood, something that I occasionally have trouble with :P

Vodo has been an engaged and active leader in Ektrosis, always finding some way we could make the House better, boost morale, or just have more fun. His ideas are creative and witty, although sometimes a little too creative :P . He was an active member of the Seventh Great Jedi War, participating in the run on, three poetry/gfx events, four fiction events, and fought in the ACC. His dedication and loyalty to Taldryan deserves recognition, and I believe an elevation to the Equite ranks serves him justice. Congratulations, Priest Biask, you've earned this one!

This promotion has been held over a week longer than I hoped so I won’t waste more time with a huge recommendation when Sklib has put it so well. Vodo has been in Taldryan for years and over the past say year and a half he has really stood out in House Ektrosis and scored well for us in two Great Jedi Wars, a Rite of Supremacy, and many other things including leadership spots and competition participation. Congratulations on this well earned award Vodo.

Vodo did a great job as Ektrosis’ Aedile ever since he was given the job. He did two fictions earning the clan bonus points with one; he did three graphics earning extra points for the clan with two of them; he had six wins in the ACC, and made twelve posts in the run on earning the clan major participation points in that event. Vodo also helped lead Ektrosis during the war. The encouragement he gave to his members was greatly appreciated and needed. Vodo’s term as Aedile of Ektrosis has been a productive one. He does everything he needs to and often goes beyond the call to help his members. He is a true leader, and someday will be a big part of the DB. Congratulations Vodo, you earned this!
