Inarya swept through the majority of the Dark Crusade before real life got a hold of her. She snagged herself a gold nova on Svolten for the run on competition, a silver on Krayiss II for the wiki, and a pair of bronze novae; one on Svolten for the Infectious Madness fiction, and another on Kalsunor for the Battle Plan.

She's also been extremely active in gaming, especially on the Old Republic guild, running Operations and Flashpoints with the guild on a regular basis, racking up nearly one hundred Clusters of Fire in the last month alone. As the resident gamer of Dark Forge, and for her hard work during the Crusade, I'm happy to award Inarya with an Steel Cross.

Battleteam Leader of Dark Forge

Few members are as stable or dedicated as Inarya. She’s been nothing but a brilliant comrade and sister-in-arms in all the time I’ve known her. Throughout the Crusade, she was a constant presence of activity, mentorship, and support; and even when, as it always tends to, her life got a bit busy for competitions, she was still always there for her fellow clanmates. Specifically, she aided her Clan in the Crusade in her participation in fourteen unique events, spanning planets and months of time. Her efforts not only earned her several Novae, but placed her in the top twenty for standing within the Clan. Yet perhaps more importantly than her strict participation was her advances in motivating her teammates to engage as well. Inarya has been an energetic and encouraging member of Dark Forge for about nine months now, and in that time, she’s always pushed her teammates and lead by example. Whether it was putting together a team for the Vendetta Run-Ons, being present and actively interacting on IRC, or responding to emails, she was always vocal in her inspiration of her fellow Battleteam members, as well as her fellow clanmates and friends around the Brotherhood. Furthermore, she had a hand in nurturing her Clan’s future and taking on the role of a teacher during the Crusade: in these last months, she took on three different students, and guided one to Dark Jedi Knight as the war raged around them; and even then, she still offered help to all Arcona’s young ones that needed advice, myself included. Between her additions to Arcona’s prosperous Crusade run and her general rallying of her brethren, Inarya’s achievements are simply outstanding.

Let it never be said that Inarya does not represent this brotherhood’s spirit, because nothing could be further from the truth. She fought for Arcona in the Vendetta, took many journeymen under her wing when they needed guidance, and continued to bolster the clan in any way that she could. While notable for her gaming activity, there’s so much more, and not enough can be said for her contributions. I can only hope this award shows our appreciation.

Congratulations on the Steel Cross, Sarah. You’ve earned it and more. Keep going, because I have no doubt you’ll go far.
