Primary reason

Shadow Nighthunter is a true asset to Excidium, Clan Scholae Palatinae and the Brotherhood as a whole. This founding mother of Tacitus Athanasius, since her last recognition, has co-organized one competition, organized 9 competitions, and has participated in 56 competitions herself. Through this she has gained herself 1 Crescent with a Ruby Star, 2 Crescents with an Amethyst Star, 5 Crescents with a Sapphire Star, 6 Crescents with an Emerald Star, 3 Crescents with a Topaz Star, 3 Crescents with a Quartz star, 23 Clusters of Graphite, and 2 Legions of the Scholar. She has served as Battle Team Leader exceptionally for the last three months and is continuing on the storyline and fiction of Tacitus Athanasius by working one-on-one with members through initiation ceremonies that she writes herself for every member -- 11 thus far averaging 1600 words each -- that joins Tacitus Athanasius, run-ons, and keeping up-to-date with members via Telegram and email. Shadow, you are one of the shining stars of our Clan and I am so thankful to have served you over my time here with the DJB. It is my honor to award you with this well-earned, well-deserved very first Grand Cross. Congratulations, Master!

Additional reasons

I’ve been very honored to watch Shadow Nighthunter’s continued contributions to the welfare of Tacitus Athanasius and Scholae Palatinae. She has held this position continuously for over 18 months - providing stability to House Excidium through several Quaestor changes. She has done this by building a family first mentality amongst her members that she supports with initiative and effort; scribing induction fictions for her members, hosting team run-ons, penning ceremonial rites for the Battle Team (Her merry band of assassins). This combination of commitment and her constant dialogue and conversation with members has been a formula for success. In the past 3 months, she has hosted competitions but also enabled others - members of her Battle Team - to also run events. This has helped them gain valuable leadership experience and continue their individual growth in the Brotherhood. She has also been vital in the development of future House initiatives: Fiction Updates, Award Recommendations, House Direction/Wiki conversations, House logo conversations, House Fleet composition, and so much more. A Grand Cross is about being a contributor to the whole. And I believe I have witnessed Shadow at her best by developing her members and giving them the courage, and skills, to become vital, active members and future leaders. While providing leadership to a Clan that has literally turned over every leadership position in the past several weeks. Keep up the effort, Shadow. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Shadow has been a stable presence on the CSP leadership team for the 18 months she has run Tacitus Athanasius. Shadow is the exemplary battle team leader, utilising the small team she has at her disposal to establish a personal connection with every member under her command. Shadow’s focus on member inclusivity, maintaining constant dialogue with her members and working with them personally on fictional development is a fantastic ethos and one of the inspirations for how we are starting to make decisions at the clan level. Throughout this, Shadow’s personal activity record has never dropped, and she’s continued to participate in numerous competitions across the clan while maintaining a constant presence at the head of her team. Despite numerous changes at every other level of the clan, Shadow and the bond she has with her team members remains constant, and we’re very lucky to have her as part of the CSP leadership team.
