Since her arrival in the clan, Ronovi has been a very active member. She asked questions and dove right into things. This included jumping into a clan run-on as a fairly new journeyman, but she made her presence known. It was in this run-on that the clan leadership identified her as a potential top rate member, though we were hesitant because many journeymen, regardless of skill, burn out quickly. Ronovi’s service to the clan has been extremely active and productive. She is dedicated to this clan and has served as a battleteam leader, an aedile, and now quaestor. She has excelled in these positions, working to improve overall activity and the story of her units.<br><br> Ronovi’s service in the Ninth Great Jedi War is the best example of her overall service. She was personally active herself in numerous events, placing in several events, including winning two bronze novas, one silver nova, and a gold nova. She was part of the run-on guidance team, helping the clan to construct a decent story, and helping it place third in that event. She helped solve one of the puzzle events. All this time, as Aedile of House Cestus, she was constantly in communication with them, and having to pick up a lot of the regular quaestor duties as well because her quaestor at the time got caught up with real life. During the war, Ronovi was one of only two clan members who received battlefield promotions from the Grand Master. All in all, not bad at all for her first Great Jedi War; I am confident that it will not be her last.<br><br> Ronovi and I talk a lot about the clan and the direction things are going. We can bounce ideas off of each other, and she readily and easily serves as an advisor for me. She is always willing to help others, but she won’t be pushed around, either. It is my pleasure to say that Ronovi is one of those who have made it, and however far she goes from here will be of her own choice. It has been a pleasure working with her so far, and I hope to continue working with her in the future. <br>~DJM Anshar Kahn Tarentae, Consul of Clan Tarentum <br>*** <br>It is a rare feat indeed for anyone to devote themselves so willingly and willfully to any endeavor, and yet Templar Ronovi Tavisaen has done just that. Her service to Clan and His Most Royal Majesty, Justinian Khyron, has manifested itself in a multitude of ways. Her willingness to shoulder burden after burden beyond her station and years has led her to become a much relied upon resource by myself and the other agents of the Sith King. In the most recent action upon Antei, when other members of the Clan waxed verbose over their own grandeur and produced little useful suggestions, instead impeding the Clan in their attempts at self aggrandizement, Templar Tavisaen charged to the fore and took command of situations as they arose before myself or Master Anshar Kahn Tarentae could. This willingness to shoulder true responsibility, rather than the vascillating, bluster of her would-be contemporaries, set her apart, earning her commendations from her fellow Summits, her superiors and those members who recognized the machinations of a true leader and not the hollow posturings of pretenders.<br><br> But her impetus goes back beyond the retaking of Antei. In Tavisaen, you have the makings of someone truly invested within the welfare of the Clan - a rarity within our august fraternity. More often, one sees a raw hunger for their own immediate glory in a member. This leads to constant jumping between Houses, Clans and through hoops, hoping that the action will benefit them, not realizing the loss of long term gain. Gain that results in the higher rank they desired, but no real roots or contacts to work with and through.<br><br> The Templar has instead dedicated herself to making herself a part of the Clan, instead of standing apart from any Clan. In Ronovi you have someone who realizes that we ultimately form a team. Some of us are lousy team players, others are great players. Ronovi is the rare member who gets those who hate working with others to work. She elevates those around her, and makes them feel important so that they're willing to work. But, make no mistake, she is not some sycophant out to appease those around her. She is just as capable of popping an overly inflated ego as she is working to inflate a terribly deprived one. And so her service to My Master requires compensation. Such high service, in His Name requires the utmost humility of us, His servants. That on His behalf, I do extends His Majesty's thanks for services rendered unto His Realm, <br>Rex Gratia <br>Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae, Marshal <br>***<br> What can I say about Ronovi? What words can I use to express how truly remarkable she is and what an impact to bring upon the entire Dark Jedi Brotherhood and Clan Tarentum in particular. Devotion is one word that comes to mind as she is very devoted to her house and clan; giving endlessly of herself to better everyone. Inspiring is another powerful word that describes her. She lifts the membership up and shows us that there is so much that can be done with the right mindset. In addition to these two words, there is much more that could be said to describe how critical of a member Ronovi is to the Brotherhood, but alas people don’t read three page long citations. Needless to say, Ronovi Tavisaen is dynamic and inspiring leader of Tarentum who puts her clan & her house above herself and gave so much during the 9th Great Jedi War, and continues to do so yet today. Congratulations Ronovi and thank you for everything you have done, you most definitely deserve this honor. <br>Sincerely, <br>Vai Azexel, Aedile of House Cestus
