Xolarin might not be one who has spent a long time in the Dark Brotherhood as yet, but he is already one of the best members and leaders Clan Plagueis could have hoped for. He has been active as member while also making the shift from pure consumer to producer, even having only been in the Brotherhood for six months.

On a personal activity level, Xolarin submitted to 14 competitions during our recent Plagueis Winter Trials event, and placed in three of those competitions. In total, he has participated in 15 competitions and earned 3 crescents (1 Sapphire and 2 Emerald) since his last promotion. In addition he participated in 3 fiction activities and generated 5,974 words of fiction, earning him 10 Clusters of Ice. To top that off, he has passed 16 Shadow Academy courses while earning 4 degrees (3 Mavens and 1 Savant). Additionally he has become a fixture of the Plagueis Telegram group since his arrival from Odan-Urr as an active contributor to Clan discussions.

As a leader, however, Xolarin has also shined. Since his promotion, he has organized 7 competitions while serving as a co-organizer on 2 more. Three of those competitions were part of the recent Plagueis Winter Trials event, where he got his first taste of helping administer a Clan-wide event. He has maintained better than a 2:1 competition participation to competition organizer ratio, something that few leaders in the Brotherhood have managed. He has been prompt with all three of his reports since his Knighting, always providing a plethora of useful information while plugging ongoing competition events as well. Switching hats from Proconsul to Wiki Tribune for a moment, Xolarin has also been an invaluable addition to the Wiki Staff ever since he joined us. One of his first tasks was designing the new graphical navigation layout for the Clan Categories, work that produced a far more interesting and engaging layout targeted at newer members. As a follow-on from that project, he also assisted in manually recategorizing pages across the Clans to conform to the new, more intuitive Clan category structure.

I've never seen a member at such a "young" Brotherhood age make contributions like Xolarin's across both his own unit and the Brotherhood's infrastructure as a whole. It gives me great pleasure to recommend his first merit award. Good work, sir!
