Turel got involved in leadership and as a content creator within our community to provide opportunities for others from his first days and has never looked back and has a collection of sacramental medals and merit medals to show for it on top of so many other awards he has earned. He has been a leader at the Battle Team, House and the highest levels of a Clan, been in charge of a society as Combat Master and the ACC, worked multiple times as a member of the Chamber of Justice as well as active in supporting gaming and any other opportunity that comes his way. In looking at the sum of the work across his career over the past six years and since his last promotion, it's clear that he has already given back to the community and been engaged at the level of an Elder. He's earned this promotion, congratulations Turel.

Where the GM and Turel’s Consul will speak to his metrics and accomplishments, I want to speak specifically to Turel’s contributions to the DB’s gaming community.

Over the three plus years I have served in the role of Fist, Turel has proven time and time again that he is a community builder and a person singularly focused on providing not only quality content, but a quality experience for our members.

Turel is a powerhouse in gaming activity. He currently holds the #2 spot for most Clusters of Fire earned in the DB, and is at #4 for the most Clusters of Earth. That in and of itself is a feat, but it doesn’t tell the full story. Those clusters were earned playing games with literally hundreds of DB members across thousands of activities. Turel is always inviting members to play supported games, non-supported games, he hosts Jackbox game events for fun, and so much more. Turel does not game with only himself and what he has to gain in mind; he plays with others to help them earn rewards and find enjoyment in the DBs main social activity.

To me personally, Turel has been a consistent advisor. He has provided his opinion (sometimes loudly) on things that the Fist should consider, he backs up his positions with data, and he always comes from the position of wanting to give more access to gaming for the members of this club.

Even though his time on staff has been short, he has continued to show that he wants nothing more than to provide quality activities for members. His recent proposal on the utilization of Discord Events led me to reinstate the monthly Gaming With the Fist event.

Turel already displays all the qualities we look for in our Elders, and I am honored to add my voice to this recommendation.

Congratulations, Turel. Thank you for all you have done and I know you will continue to do in the future.

I've had the pleasure of working directly with Turel in the Chamber of Justice, first as Right Hand and later as Justicar. During both of those terms, Turel demonstrated an unmatched commitment to protecting the rights and positive experiences of our members, and a remarkable passion for this club. We have not always agreed, but I have never doubted Turel's motivations or his sincerity. We're lucky to have him, and I'm very happy to add my recommendation for his promotion into the ranks of the Elders.

Congratulations, Turel! This has been a long time coming and is very well deserved.

Turel has been by my side as PCON for the past 8 months and has performed his duties with the same professionalism and drive as he has for all his previous times as a leader in Odan-Urr. Well-versed in the ways of the DB, Turel uses his time in other positions to craft a better user experience for our members, continually suggesting ways for us to improve as a Summit, as well as strongly advocating for our member’s rights outside of the Clan.

To summarise his activity since his last promotion, Turel has accumulated 1 Ruby Scepter, 1 Sapphire Blade, 1 Grand Cross, and 1 Anteian Cross. He's participated in 274 competitions earning himself 1 Gold Nova, 2 Silver Nova, 5 Bronze Nova, 17 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 16 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 35 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 21 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 12 Crescents with Emerald Stars, and 5 Crescents with Topaz Stars. Gaming wise, he's earned 18 Pendants of Blood, 8,767 Clusters of Fire, and 2,358 Clusters of Earth. His 27,550 words of fiction in 31 Activities have earned him 97 Clusters of Ice and he amassed 64 Clusters of Graphite. Additionally, he has 1 Scroll of Indoctrination, 11 Scrolls of Foundation, 2 Seals of Loyalty, 15 Seals of Wrath, 16 Seals of Fury, 13 Seals of Discord, 11 Seals of Visions, and 13 Seal of Enmity. In the Shadow Academy, he has passed 16 courses and has earned 4 degrees.

While not only a consumer, Turel has organized 32 competitions, co-organized 16, judged 37 Acc battles, graded 15 Shadow Academy courses and produced 10 news posts.

Over the past 4 years, Turel has worn a lot of hats as well. Those include Consul, Proconsul, Quaestor, Left Hand of Justice, ACC Judge, Combat Master, Shadow Academy: Docent, Magistrate to the Regent, and Magistrate to the Fist.

I’d like to thank you for your continued support and dedication to the Clan and for making this Club feel like a home.

Congratulations on your promotion to Elder, you’ve more than earned it!
