Primary reason

There are many members within House Hoth that I look to for their leadership and ability to drive forth and inspire the rest. They are consistently active, always offering their ideas and making sure those working beneath them are well taken care of. There is one, however, that stands out above the rest. That person, to me, is Edgar Drachen, and so today, I wish to thank Edgar for all of his hard work up to this point.

In the time since Edgar’s last moment of recognition, he has achieved some impressive stats. Having participated in a staggering ninety-one (91) competitions, he has managed to attain four (4) Crescents w/Diamond Star, ten (10) Crescents w/Ruby Star, seven (7) Crescents w/Amethyst Star, four (4) Crescents w/Sapphire Star, one (1) Crescent w/Emerald Star and one (1) Crescent w/Topaz Star, showing off that he targets those large competitions that include more individuals so he can better his own skills as an active member of the Brotherhood. In line with his competition activity, his gaming and writing have brought even more awards to his medal case in the form of one (1) Pendant of Blood, eight-hundred eighty (880) Clusters of Fire, sixteen (16) Clusters of Ice and five-hundred twelve (512) Clusters of Earth. The numbers Edgar is able to attain is simply astounding. The awards and competitions he has received and participated in can be reflected through his completion of thirty-seven (37) PvP matches, one-hundred forty-eight (148) PvE matches and four (4) fiction activities — composed of over eight-thousand (8,000) words. He doesn’t stop there, though. He continues to expand his knowledge of the Brotherhood by having successfully passed twelve (12) Shadow Academy courses and earning one (1) SA Degree.

For the past five (5) months since previous recognition, Edgar has been serving as Aedile for House Hoth, and continued to serve in that position after I came in as Quaestor in May. He is the leadership type this Clan needs, always promoting, thanking, giving and building. He has successfully submitted two (2) news posts in the form of House reports, which typically contain detailed statistics of the House from recent news and awards, to what current competitions are out and what projects the members can contribute to. And speaking of competitions, Edgar has also successfully organized, either alone or with someone else, ten (10) competitions for others to take part of. Edgar has been here all along throwing idea after idea at me for approval, all in the light of giving the members something to do and to make sure they are justly rewarded for their efforts. He doesn’t ask for anything as a reward, and his favorite comment is usually “It’s for Hoth” or “I do it for them.” It’s this kind of leader that we need more of in this day and age of the Brotherhood: someone that looks out for the little guy and doesn’t ask for much, if anything, in return.

Edgar, I don’t know where Hoth would be without you and I cannot thank you enough for the level of dedication you put towards your unit. You make me proud to be leading Hoth with you and I only expect you to rapidly rise in the near future. Please accept this Grand Cross as a heartfelt “thanks” for everything you do, but know that not even an award can properly express how much we appreciate all your efforts. Congratulations, Drachen. Keep up the amazing work.

Additional reasons

Edgar and both started working in the Hoth Summit back in December, and when he did he let me know that he intended to lead by example. His work has been inspiring, and he backs up his activity by organizing puzzle and flash game comps regularly for the House and Clan to participate in. His work ethic has been inspiring, and he has always offered to help, whether it's getting clusters to rank up in the GMRG or just being supportive to members of the Clan as a whole. It has been an immense on honor to work along side him from the beginning, and it has been great seeing him stick to his convictions from day one.

In the nine months of working with Edgar I have seen him put in a lot of time simply for the House, without a second thought. Whether it is coming up with ideas for comps, helping others advance in the organization, or his constant reminders on competitions, he has dedicated quite a large amount of time to the club. His effort is also quite contagious, and has inspired many members to be more active. Edgar definitely deserves this Grand Cross.

Tisto Kingang, Battle Team Leader of the Knights of Allusis

I’m going to skip the fluff and formal introductions and just straight to it, Edgar is one of the finest leaders in the Brotherhood today. Few care more for their members, or are as willing to go to bat for them as Edgar is for not just his House but all of Odan-Urr. Fewer leaders still have his unbridled enthusiasm for all forms of activity and as set strong of an example for their members as he does. If there’s a better activity promoter in the DB than Edgar, I have yet to meet them. But Ed doesn’t just push activity for the members to do, he leads from the front lines, where the rubber meets the road. He went an impressive 9/11 competitions in the COU/PLA feud and was one of two members in Clan to go 9/9 compeitions in our recent Clan event Homecoming. He is currently 4th in the 3rd quarter GMRG rankings.

Edgar’s record speaks for itself, and it speaks volumes. It’s hard to imagine COU without him, he’s the closest thing we have to a mascot/cheerleader/beating heart (and I mean that in the best possible way). So on behalf of the Clan I thank Ed for everything he does and generally just being awesome.

Congrats Bro! You are an invaluable member of the summit and someone I’m proud to call my friend.
