In the year since his last promotion, Appius moved from Quaestor of House Ektrosis, to Proconsul of Clan Taldryan, and has now spent the past three months as the clan's Consul. His energy and attitude have had a significant positive impact on the clan, helping to revitalize it and build a new core of young leaders for the clan's future. He has been actively engaged in discussions on DB-wide policies and ensured that his members are properly and timely recognized for their accomplishments.

His personal activity has also been remarkable: he has organized 40 competitions, including two multi-comp events with corresponding clan plot development, participated in 79 competitions earning a number of crescents and a bronze nova, and picked up 2 CFs, 3 CEs, 44 CGs, and 225 (!) CIs for his astounding 74,000 words of fiction. He also graded 23 courses in his capacity as Magistrate to the Headmistress and earned a Sapphire Blade, a Grand Cross, an Anteian Cross, and a Dark Cross for all of his hard work.

He has done more than enough to earn his promotion to Equite 3. Congratulations, Appius!

Zappius! The Magistrate I never wanted to let go, but was so excited to see him move on to the position of Consul.

As I gushed in the recommendation for his Sapphire Blade, Appius went above and beyond as a Magistrate. He was the first to take up the mantle of regular Shadow Academy trivia on Telegram – learning the bot we used there, running and hyping trivia like only he could. He also gave us the content for two Mandalorian Shadow Academy courses (shocker, right?) and was a sounding board and support for me throughout his term, including providing valuable feedback and ideas on the Aurora Collegium in its early stages.

Appius is truly nonstop in the dizzying amount of effort he puts in to make this club a better place for everyone, and he does it all while thoroughly enjoying the club as a member himself, taking part in as many activities and competitions as he creates. It's a contagious energy that makes everything he gets involved in just ... better. I'm sincerely honored to add my support to this recommendation for his promotion.

Congratulations, Appius!
