Hello,

There are few in this organization who do as much as Kaiann Yetaru Entar. I see all that he does, and it's time to let him know that we all appreciate it.

Kaiann has been at the position of Lord Hegemon since it was created ten months ago. In that time, he has displayed an initiative that is like no other. Kaiann sees a problem and goes after it. When there is something that needs to be done, he does it and does it well. That is the quality I look for most in any aspiring Dark Council member -- initiative.

Kaiann's work on the RPG project has been immaculate. He has, largely on his own, designed a system that is going to play a huge role in the future of the Dark Brotherhood. What has impressed me is his in-depth knowledge of it all. He knows the system in and out and has been steadily moving his thoughts and ideas into documents for the rest of us. Some of you may not know the extent of Kaiann's dedication; almost a month ago, he spent a day meeting with CG and Jam3z in real life to go over details of the website functions for the RPG. That is the type of activity that gets us places.

This is all without even mentioning the Independance Games. I didn't award Kaiann immediately following that event because I knew about this plan -- but he does deserve a lot of credit for those games. Like them or not, the IGs are a gigantic task that takes hours and hours of work from Kaiann. He did a great job on them this year and deserves praise for that.

Personally, I like that Kaiann is reliable. I can send him something to do with the confidence that it will be done. Sure, we disagree on a lot -- but that doesn't stand in the way of the fact that we are able to work well together. Kaiann has an intense drive to see things done right and that is something that we can all learn from.

Kaiann, today we honor you by giving you your very own Diamond Sword. Congratulations, and thanks.
