I actually get to do this one from both sides of the coin so to speak. When I came back from the rogues in 2020 Farrin was the first to greet me. He helped get me back up to speed and active again. It was a tremendous help to me not just in terms of hey here is what to do but in feeling welcomed back. He remained Aedile until shortly after I became Consul. When Queastor of House Wren opened up Farrin was the easiest choice and first on my list to take up the mantle. He continued his work as a quaestor for another 4 months before life, as it sometimes does, force him to step aside.

Farrin’s reach is far more than just Clan Vizsla, however. He served as Headmaster for just over two years. Six months of which have been since his last promotion, which I will let Dacien cover. He served as the Right Hand of Justice and during his long career has held every single position in a clan some of which don’t even exist anymore. He also served over a year as Magistrate to the Regent where according to the Regent “he's been one of the hardest working Magistrates on the staff. Dependable, reliable, honest, and above all else consistent with his quality of work” and “He's poured hours and hours into our team.”

Activity wise Farrin has participated in:

• 112 competitions
• 239 Gaming activities

He has earned:

• 1 Amethyst Kukri
• 1 Sapphire Blade
• 1 Anteian Cross
• 1 Dark Cross

Not to mention nearly 2000 Clusters of Fire and a slew of Seals and Crescents since his last Promotion

Farrin is a valuable member of not just Clan Vizsla but of the Brotherhood. If you run through the Shadow Academy you have seen his work and likely benefited from it in some way. That I think says a lot about Farrin, He works hard, does fantastic work, and most importantly does what he says he will do. Congrats Farrin!

I've had the pleasure to know Farrin for many years now. We first worked together when I was HM and he rewrote the entire History Department from scratch, significantly reworked the old CORE courses, and edited the then-new Leadership Courses. He earned his first Sapphire Blade for all of that as a DJK and didn't slow down.

Fast forward a year or so and I appointed him my Praetor. From there on, he had a hand in everything the SA did: every course revision, every little edit, every PROF or Magistrate hiring decision, as well as projects intended to improve the structure of the SA. He succeeded me as HM and was such a solid, reliable Dark Councilor that Mav literally would not let him resign.

When he did finally step down, he spent a year as RHoJ and then had a successful stint in leadership of the new Clan Vizsla. All considered, Farrin has had a remarkable DB career and has more than earned this promotion. Congratulations!
