Since becoming Aedile almost five months ago, Rasilvenaira StormRaven has been a major part of this House, helping with projects, guiding new members and answering questions to members new and old. Several times in her tenure as Aedile, she has been left to keep the House in order without a Quaestor, and she has done so quite successfully.<br> <br> Although Ras and I don't see "eye-to-eye" all the time, I have grown accustomed to working with her and I have not seen a greater member in my three years and three months in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Of course, there have been several activity bombs who eventually fizzle out, but Ras has maintained extremely high activity levels her entire career and has reached well past the one thousand Clusters of Fire mark (something that took the most dedicated gamers at least a year) even with all the duties that have been piled up on her including Clan Envoy and ACC Judge.<br> <br> She has helped with the Antenora: In-Depth project (a House project that expands the details of HAD’s homeworld) by creating a map of the oasis in which the House Headquarters resides and has recently shown that she can handle whatever’s thrown at her through her activity and leadership in the House Feud against House Caliburnus. Ras participated in nearly every event and placed high in several of them to boot.<br> <br> For being a role model (especially when it comes to activity) and serving HAD with dedication and unsurpassed loyalty over an extended period of time (her entire DJB career), I recommend a Steel Cross to be added to Rasilvenaira’s ever-growing medal collection.<br> <br> RevengeX Palpatine<br> Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco<br> <br> -----------------<br> <br> Since my time as Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco, I have watched Rasilvenaira blossom from an ordinary, active member into a solid pillar of the Clan. Her participation is a highly effective tool to motivate members – even if it is through Cluster Envy – and she never backs down from an opportunity to test her skills in Gaming. This provides a highly valuable asset as Silver has, over the past several months, participated in at least one Gaming Night a week and a high majority of SITs. For this I applaud her as the Gaming Role Model with the Clan, for sheer dedication if not brilliance. <br> <br> Additionally, Silver has maintained the post of Knight Class Envoy and Aedile with great vigor. Not only did she participate in a number of RevengeX’s projects, but she continued to help the Envoy system branch out by creating an Envoy web site (that holds ALL of the Clan’s Envoy materials), dutifully training five Envoys through the course of her time as Clan Envoy, diligently hosting competitions to help build the fundamental skills of her House Envoys as future House Leaders and helped prepare a number of competitions at the Clan Level (Four Character Development Competitions & a DB Wiki Upload project, code named: Character Development we are clever!). <br> <br> Lastly, I would like to highlight her excellent participation in the House Feud – I can only hope this medal stands above the common ones I hope to award after the Event. She has continually encouraged her House to activity, participated in 13 of 13 events (in a short time: one month), 18 competitions, 11 crescents, 54 Clusters of Fire… accruing 20.5 points. And was a major factor in her House’s performance.<br> <br> I am hard pressed to find a better role model for overall activity in Scholae Palatinae. Please award her this Merit medal.<br> <br> Braecen Kunar<br> Consul of Scholae Palatinae

To whom it may concern;<br> <br> Rasilvenaira StormRaven is basically the lifeblood of House Caliburnus. She does everything from her duties as Aedile to Gaming with clan members to helping me get by in everyday tasks. Ras is punctual with reporting and always eager to do something else for me. I say in all earnestness, I would not have accomplish one tenth of the feats I have without Ras at my side. Most recently she has personally undertaken a massive project of creating images for House Caliburnus' Fictional Backdrop. These images are for the House's Compound and require large amounts of time to complete. In this project there are upwards of 30 images of a relatively large size, all of which Ras completed herself.<br> <br> Above that, Rasilvenaira maintains a level of personal activity that is not matched by any, near or far. She games, (like every game) She trains in the ACC, she writes fictions, all without any prompting from anyone. Though I think she works too hard sometimes, her vigor has not waned at all. In the recent CSP Summer Games she completed 7 events, placing in most of them. Also, she created the website for the event.<br> <br> Rasilvenaira also aided greatly in the creation and production of House Caliburnus' “Golden Iris Conflict”, a series of short competitions with a fiction background. She created the website and invented some interesting NPCs that the house is using as an enemy. Even with all this work, Rasilvenaira still takes time to make sure I am having fun and still living. She also does extensive mentoring for the younger members of the clan. Her students in the MSP are some of the most active in the clan because she is so active herself.<br> <br> There are not enough medals in the world to express how appreciative I am for all her hard work, kind words, and accomplishments. However, since I am writing a reccomendation, I think this will suffice.<br> Congratulations Ras. Thank you for everything you do, every day. Keep up the killer work!<br> <br> -SBM Thran Occasus

I am glad to award a Steel Cross to Ras for her amazing work on the two Fiction Tribune sites. She has, from scratch, designed and kept updated the new Writers Corner site and has taken over the maintaining of the Fiction site adding new parts and taking out others. She has also been a great help with the reviewing for the WC and also on new fiction competition ideas. She has worked with enthusiasm and respect and fully deserves this award if not more. Thanks Ras keep up the good work,

Ricco

As the Codex indicates, the Steel Cross is awarded to an individual for their extended service to one’s House or Clan. Such duties include aiding one’s Quaestor or Aedile, as well as being a mentor to others.

Upon the discloser of Caliburnus, members were split and placed into the two remaining Houses. Rasilvenaira was a Rogue member at the time but upon her return, she decided to join up with Dorimad Sol. She was very interested in becoming active again and immediately did so.

As a senior member, she is not required to compete in some of the lower level competitions made specifically for Journeymen. Unlike for them, it doesn’t really enhance her dossier, but she competed all the same, allowing the reward benefits to be greater for the journeymen of her House.

With her experience in the past, in the ACC, I asked Ras to help out some of the younger Journeymen looking to qualify. She got to work, helping pre-train them for the ACC and copying me on the mock-battles. In the end she became Clan trainer.

As Quaestor of Dorimad Sol I would like to recommend Rasilvenaira StormRaven a Steel Cross for all the great work she has done for the House and the appreciation for all the work she has done in assisting to train Journeymen in the ACC.

Robin Hawk Quaestor of Dorimad Sol, Magistrate to the Herald
