Primary reason

V'yr has been a consistent hard worker since the day Orv hired him as a Magistrate to help out with creating lightsabers. Since Orv stepped down V'yr has nearly been our sole lightsaber designer, with an incredible 14 of them under his belt. It takes anywhere from a day to several weeks to do a single lightsaber, not counting the other stuff he is working on at the same time. Some are much more difficult than others and require learning new techniques before even getting started. On top of that he asks for feedback from the member and sometimes goes through many rounds of changes, much more than he is required to, for the sake of delivering a fantastic experience and a satisfied member. To help in teaching the Herald staff how to make them, he created a lightsaber tutorial video that can be found on youtube, which garnered a lot of views that sent visitors to the DJB website. When searching for "photoshop lightsaber tutorial" on Google, his video can be found on the very front page as part of a G+ post by the DJB profile. His is only one of a very few videos I've found on creating the hilt, versus the giant amount of tuts on the glow effect, which makes it incredibly unique.

On top of that he has also helped out with various miscellaneous tasks around the Herald office, such as many Avatar approvals or denials, which also includes taking the time to image hunt for copywritten GFX as well as back and forth member interaction to verify sources. He also updates the Activity sheet and participates in all Herald policy discussions that have led to important changes like the new warbanner rules. He designed the Matriarch Robes for Herald Style Hannukah and the new female paper doll that we now use for robes, inked lines for the Sith and Jedi join form characters, created several graphics for HOU as well as for a BT event, and of course he is responsible for adding Muzfasa to Mirus' rolling Herald banner, which I have to credit him for because it left us all in stitches.

After I became Herald I promoted V'yr to Praetor, and between the two positions he has nearly 8 months under his belt of actual full-time work worthy of a Praetor position and more. This wasn't his first Herald staff rodeo though, and it shows in the quality of his work, the attention to detail, and the insistence of working with the members regarding their lightsaber or images needed for their projects. V'yr actively participates in critiques, which is a very important aspect of the current Herald staff. He's taught all of us some great graphics lessons and his own skills have increased exponentially since coming aboard due to his willingness to listen to feedback and the work and re-work he puts into the graphics, always striving to make them as best as possible and then some.

V'yr is an integral part of the Herald staff and I know for fact that it wouldn't have run as well without him during these past 8 months. He's been an exemplary member and is so much fun to work with. Thank you, V'yr, for your hard work, dedication, and positivity!

Additional reasons

If there is one thing we can say about V'yr Vorsa it is that he is one of the most dedicated graphics artists in the Brotherhood, a group of people that, more often than not, are very sorely misunderstood. Their work, however, is some of the most important. They design warbanners, robes, lightsabers, accessories, the bread and butter of our club for we view it on a daily basis - and then beyond this they make a variety of images that go above and beyond, that give our club flavour. It is with great honour that I would add this recommendation to the list for this award for a great artist.

The Herald staff keeps a list of tasks done over time by its staffers. One look at V'yr's list and you see, immediately, that a lot of work that he does is of high quality. A lot of his projects have been mentioned by Socks, but I will detail a small handful of his work for House Odan-Urr and Clan Naga Sadow to prove a point. Once upon a time, V'yr (then known as Tyren) designed the original Tenebrae battleteam logo, with little to no prompting. Since then we have seen him perform a wide variety of tasks, most recently including four beautiful maps for House Odan-Urr and a wide variety of logos for military units, battleteam works and event imagery. These images have provided a House with a graphical base with which it can inspire its members. Looking beyond this, to his impact on the Club - he has provided a myriad works that can be seen on members' dossiers. His contributions to the Herald staff cannot possibly be understated. Some examples? Slagar's beautiful double-snake lightsaber. Shirai's incredible gold filigree dragon-head saber. Kah's wonderfully gritty tribal claw saber. His work is peerless. It's unique, has its own style. We speak of Muz and Orv and Socks being unique in their own arts, with talent beyond the scope that we mere mortals can aspire to.

V'yr is so prolific that his name sits on that list, too, and he has never been Herald himself.

He's also a great mentor to myself and others; not only does he provide feedback on graphics work whether you catch him in IRC or email, he does so thoughtfully and with constructive feedback, as well as suggestions for improvements. These suggestions have improved the quality of my own work, including how my custom lightsaber turned out. He's provided feedback on almost every project I've worked on, from the Dark Crusade ribbons to the warbanner rails/medallion changes recently implemented to include Order works. He made the custom saber tutorial, which as we all know was such a development for the club that not only Herald staffers could access but even others could work on, helping us train a new generation of graphics designers. In fact, without him, I would not be designing as much and to the quality I do for the club. I rely on his feedback, his input, his inspiring presence and his ability to put out some of the most breathtaking work this club has ever seen. He's inspired me to be a better leader, a better artist and a better person, and for that I can never be truly thankful enough.

From a grateful fellow Praetor, please accept this recommendation with my thanks. You're one of the best we've ever had.

Not long ago, House Odan-Urr was nearing the brink of collapse. In a valiant effort to restore out House to its former glory, V'yr Vorsa has taken on one of our most daunting tasks - The reinvisioning of our Battleteams. Working closely alongside Revak Kur, V'yr Vorsa has completely revitalized our membership's activity through the usage of extremely high-quality reports, motivational messages and a constant flow of competitions. In addition, Vorsa works with our Rollmaster, Evant, to ensure that every new member finds a home in one of our two Battleteams, and is paired up with their masters approapriately within the same Battleteam. Having done this, not only is V'yr directly managing half of our membership, but play a pivotal role in the mentorship of our Journeymen. Leading by example, V'yr Vorsa had participated in no less than eleven events in the Crusades, earning a top placement in the participation of House Odan-Urr. Retaining her abilities as a former assistant to the Herald, V'yr was also responsible for a number of high-quality graphics, such as the Martiarch robes, or a number of character portraits for members in the House. Other examples of these can be seen on House Odan-Urr's wiki pages, which Vorsa had also editied countless times, adding material and correcting grammatical errors. In addition to having earned a Sapphire Blade since her last promotion for her services as a Praetor to the Herald, Vorsa has earned countless medals and awards, the most notable rewards (in addition to the Sapphire Blade) consisting of 1 Steel Cross, 2 Anetian Crosses, 6 Dark Crosses, 2 Dark Side Scrolls, 1 Bronze Nova, 2 Silver Novae and 4 Seals of Unity. Working tirelessly in the Shadow Academy, Vorsa has also earned no less than three degrees and completed twenty-five total Shadow Academy exams since her last Promotion. All of this stated, V'yr Vorsa has been more than a pleasure to work with, and has in every way exceeded my expectations. I believe this Promotion to be long overdue. Congratulations to the second rank of the Equites!
