Battlemaster Ra’gnar is a plank holder in Clan Vizsla. For the uninitiated, this means he helped build the ship that is now our Clan. He joined our efforts prior to becoming an official House and he was instrumental in seeing Vizsla become a reality.

In the Spring I’d 2019, members of the initial Vizsla 20 were tasked with creating a Clan Proposal, a fictional history, a Clan systems and processes document, and a “roadmap to war” detailing the Vizsla’s initial year. Ra’gnar was tasked to support all of these efforts and his contributions were integral to Clan Vizsla acquiring approval from the Star Chamber, GM, and DC. This should not be undervalued in terms of projects as this was just the third approval for a new Clan in over 15 years. Within these projects were Ra’gnar’s supported Battle Team development, functions, and fleet support. Ra’gnar was a key contributor and editor on Vizsla’s governing documents found here: Vizsla Proposal. Within these documents Ra’gnar was particularly helpful on Vizsla’s first year pacing (detailed on timeline) and initial Clan events to include the proposed internal Clan competitions. Ra’gnar was also a key contributor to our proposal in the battle team fiction/ooc, BT member expectations, and member recognition sections. All told, this work, and these sections were instrumental in our Clanning.

Beyond Ra’gnar’s dedication and work in the creation of Clan Vizsla, he has also had a consistent and high level of activity since his previous promotion over four years ago. This activity includes participation in 286 (!) competitions, 18 gaming submissions, 6500 words of fiction, and four shadow academy courses. He has earned a Grand Cross, 2 Steel Crosses, 3 Anteian Crosses, 26 competition placement crescents, 18 Pendants of Blood, 790 various clusters, and 31 Vendetta Seals. 10 of these Seals coming from our most recent GJW and helping to secure Vizsla’s second place finish!

Ra’gnar is also a common feature in our Vizsla chat rooms and contributes to our unique culture. Within the Chats Ra’gnar is always ready to support on any project ranging from what events we run in our Great Hunts to the make up and composition of our Fleet.

Ra’gnar, you have been a great member and leader in the Clan. Thanks for all you have done!
