Once a year, the Council of Urr gathers together to cast lots and read auguries to decide who has earned the honor of joining the ranks of those who bear the title of our Clan. These members are always above the rank and file, exemplars of the Odanite Code, leaders, mentors, those dedicated to selfless service to the Clan.

This year, we honor two such members. Wolfe has been given the honor of a clan title and Turel Sorenn has regained his title.

If I were to recount the reasons for these members, it would read like a technical manual because writing these things isn't a strong suit of mine. So, I leave it to those who are better versed at pretty word things.

For Turel, our very own Bird had some things to say.

“After surrendering his clan title to help stand up Clan Vizsla, Turel was adamant that he felt he needed to reearn it instead of being reinstated as a matter of course. Since returning to Odan-Urr in 2021, Turel's service to the clan has been interrupted only by service to the club as a whole, as a society leader, member of multiple staffs, and work in two different Council positions.

Within COU, he served as Proconsul and contributed to a major reorganization of the clan's subunits. He's consistently been one of the most active members per the Scimitar leaderboard, to the degree that he's earned an Amethyst Kukri and a Ruby Scepter just off site XP this year alone. He is, as always, an enthusiastic mentor to the latest generation of summit members and equally dedicated to holding senior leaders accountable to the highest standards of conduct.”

And as for Wolfe, I spent a week trying to come up with anything that didn't sound like I was a knock-off Ben Stein (for dry red eyes) and kept failing rather spectacularly. So, I enlisted the help of Tarvitz. Here is what he had to say about Wolfe.

“Has anyone given more to Clan Odan-Urr in the last two years than Wolfe? I ask this truly, as he ranks among our best members, and certainly our greatest leaders since the clan was founded. There's barely an area of the Brotherhood he hasn't had some role in. Recruitment? Definitely. Gaming? Certainly. Art? Just look at the glorious campaign maps in his reports. Storytelling? Far, far more than anyone would ever ask of him, both on personal tales and official fictions.

Wolfe is the one who has pushed Odan-Urr to new heights, and his leadership has seen a revitalisation of the clan. A massive sweeping narrative of wars across the system, making use of past story ideas, events, a Game of Thrones style plotline of subterfuge, treachery, and bloodshed. He made sure to have a clear and very distinct direction in his stories, great narrative updates, but gave every opportunity for members who took part to get their time in the sun, frequently including no shortage of our characters in major and minor scenes alike.

Wolfe has given everything to push Odan-Urr to be a great community, with a clear identity in fiction, plenty of events to sink their teeth into, and supported any activity people could ask for. Beyond even this, he has proven exceptional at recruiting new blood to the clan's and give them every incentive to stick around.

It would be an insult if he were given anything short of the title of Councillor of Urr for his efforts, and we are proud to now count him among the council's number.”

These two members have been chosen among the many as true exemplars of what it means to be an Odanite, a leader, a mentor and a role model. It is my honor and my pleasure to be the one posting this news message for two members that I myself view with the highest levels of respect and friendship.

Welcome to Wolfe and welcome back to Turel.

The Master at Arms has already fulfilled the request that these two members be named and registered.
