Another Tradition that we have on Exodus day is the rewarding of one exceptional member with one of our rarest awards, the silver Sash. Awarded only once a year, this sacrament is given onlyto those who have bled for the Brotherhood to keep it strong, to keep it running, and to help ensure that it survives beyond even our time here.

This year, the one who deserves such an honor has gone well above and beyond what was expected of him. Beyond advising the Dark Council, beyond toiling on a seemingly endless parade of improvements for the club, beyond his visionary ideas to expand the Brotherhood even further, he has returned to active duty with an almost masochistic drive. The Sith Lord known as Sarin has been an almost constant voice among the Dark Council since his tenure as Consul of Plagueis began, and his wisdom, experience, and work ethic has helped propel us forward. Eve in 'retirement', Sarin has helped form the first independent house in this club in years, and his guidance has helped them achieve beyond even their own expectations. Returning to the Dark Council but only rcently, his hand has been felt even stronger still as he embraces and attacks our projects and expansions to our club. This fervor and love for our Brotherhood is exceptional and worthy of more praise, but he would probably tell me not to waste any more time on him, and focus more on what else needs to be done.

Sarin, Thank you for all that you do and have done. Enjoy your reward. You have more than earned it.
