I am hereby recommending Xathia for a Dark Cross for her efforts during the RoS and overall activity which include; Stepping into the position of Aedile and ran Galeres as de-facto QUA during Etah's extended absence, advised/tasked BTL Celahir on various competitions, regarding length, medal awarding, etc. Also communicated with Etah on numerous occasions to urge him to communicate and be more active, acting as a leader, so to speak.

Promoted to full Quaestor, creating the three battle teams now functioning within Galeres, and setting expectations for the BTLs to follow, communicating with them on a daily to weekly basis, encouraging and praising them as appropriate.

Helped function as a feedback board to everyone who wants my opinion on how to improve their RPing/graphics/etc. Re: Xathia's graphics, Arack (Talos') character development.

Helped develop together a proposal for the usage of Shadesworn pairs. Helped give feedback on Project Reb00t, assisting Braecen with developing leadership ideas, currently putting together a collection of slides from management courses to help Braecen develop the concept further.

This good participation and effort is thoroughly deserving of recognition. Arcona thanks you for your hard work.

Medal Request: Steel Cross KP Xathia (8396)

It is my distinct honor to present a Grand Cross to Xathia for her respective achievements in several arenas of Brotherhood and Arcona activity. The Grand Cross is the last medal to be rewarded before moving to the honored sacrificial blades and it speaks of a members initiative, dedication and desire to better the Brotherhood and their fellow members.

One of the hardest skills to measure for award within the Brotherhood is in the arena of graphic achievement. Indeed, we possess an Dark Council position dedicated to the feat, but rarely do we honor the little people whom labor at the clan level. Xathia has, with no reward in mind, created personal images for several individuals across numerous clans: Desdemona, Xuthen, Celahir, Rayne, Maaks (twice), Juda, Octavia, Phoenix, Sanguinius (twice), Sasher, Zandro and Archer. In addition, she has created several pieces of artwork that have been included in Clan Arcona projects and uploaded to our Wiki pages. Each piece involved several renditions until it met the demands of the individuals or project captains. A culmination of twenty images for Brotherhood members and lore.

Another area where Xathia has excelled over the past year is in the area of mentorship; specifically, with writing and combat writing. Collecting an impressive 25-0 record in the ACC is no small feat, nor are the countless hours she has spent mentoring Arcona's new members before the Ninth GJW or, simply, writers looking to improve their skill set. All in all, I can trace Xathia's contributions to getting five people prepared for Arcona's eventual win, compiling a guide for the GJW and providing tweaks and suggestions throughout the first half of the war for those seeking advice. In addition, Xathia helped several members with their Character Histories to an extremely advanced point (inception to the DB to present - Timeros & Zakath).

Each of these DB facets requires extreme patience and exceptional skill (to know and to teach are entirely different concepts). And her dedication to improving both the Brotherhood and members is admirable and a skill we seek in all of our Equites. For this, her prolonged service should be recognized with a Grand Cross.

For compiling a truly excellent listing of the Force Powers, and the variables at work in determining the effectiveness of each.

Congratulations, Xathia, on a very well-earneed reward.

For participation in the Ninth Great Jedi War.

Xathia successfully served as Quaestor of the House Galeres for five months during which time she wrote nine insightful and informative reports, personally ran five successful competitions while overseeing her subordinates run many others. She led her house through fully half of the 9th Great Jedi War, a war in which her house would prove pivotal to Arcona’s gaming victories and ultimately its first place finish, before she became a casualty of that elusive demon known as real life. Her leadership laid the groundwork for her house and clan’s eventual victory and in addition she managed to participate in the events Battlefield Objectives and ACC 1v1 in a war where first and third place are separated by less than sixty points. This medal is well deserved and is a token of our undying appreciation.
