Kazmir has been, by far, Taldryan's most active member. His mind is a never ending pit of activity, that ranges on all levels; brain storming Competitions, bringing up edits that need to be made on the DJB Wikipedia (Including Taldryan articles), to helping the SCL staff finding a bug in the ACC website. Kaz haas been a fantastic asset to Taldryan, and since he has come back to Tal he's not stopped his work-load! During Horizons, he participated in 19 events - the highest participation in Taldryan - and placed in one of them, securing himself a Silver Nova for his hard work! These events weren't one style or one-hit-wonders, rather they varied from Graphics, to Gaming, to Fiction, to Misc. events and back again! Kazmir really has made his place known in Taldryan, and has shown himself as having what it takes to be among Taldryanites! During the War, Kazmir found himself being a bit bored, actually, and even designed a whole new audit for the Taldryan Wiki system. That system in itself is currently being implemented into Taldryan right now, and we are currently running signups House-wide to get this show rolling! This system will completely revamp Taldryan's wiki presence, and update articles that have been long-over due an update. This is no small project and will take time and effort. Kaz has been a steam-roller of activity, and it's inspiring to see. Kaz's mindset is on par with many Unit-leaders, and is one of the reasons why it is so easy to work with him on getting stuff done. He is knowledgable in a ton of areas that other members are foggy in, and his resolve to get things done is incredible. It's rare Kaz takes a moment for himself, and he's constantly working on bettering himself, Taldryan and the Brotherhood. This can be found in the numerous competitions he's competed in, and the amount of effort he puts in on the numerous fronts. There are many Leaders within the Brotherhood that know who Kazmir is, from the Gaming staff, to the Herald's office, to the Voice's office, and for good reason. Kaz is an up and comer, and it's time he be rewarded for his efforts!

Overall since August until now (roughly 3 months), he has earned 10 Crescents ranging in various levels, 32 Clusters of Fire, a Legion of the Scholar and 2 Pendants of Blood and a Silver Nova for placing in a TOR event during Horizons. Through that he has also been hired by the Herald's office as a Magistrate, for his stellar work in the Graphics area of things. Kazmir is exceptionally active on IRC in #taldryan and #db, as well as being active on the Taldryan mailing list and being active on the Message Boards. He is acive in almost every sense of the word, and this recommendation could go on for a while longer. I've served as a leader in Taldryan for years now, and there is something special about Kazmir that is beyond an average member and sets him apart from other members of the DB. His great work now is only setting up for the work he is going to do for the Brotherhood. He's growing, and will continue to grow. A Grand Cross of the Dark Side now will look like peanuts compared to the things he will do in the future. For now, though, I think a Grand Cross will have to suffice. ;)

As Aedile of Taldryan, I humbly request the Dark Council bestow upon Obelisk Templar Kazmir Natas the honor of bearing a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Congratulations Kaz! Freakin' well done! -OE Shaz'air Taldrya, Aedile of House Taldryan

I've had the privilege of working with Kazmir in the past so when I looked for potential Magistrates, I was surprised to see his name in the selection. Since he's joined my Staff, he's helped in developing two fictions for the Herald's Report, purchased graphic programs used by myself and Muz, began training in these programs, gone through the entire selector tools to look for any discrepancies in them, bringing the issues to the attention of myself and the Seneschal, and brought one of the most positive attitudes I could hope for in a Staff member. In addition to his contributions to the Herald's Staff, his work in the Horizons vendetta speaks for itself. His graphic submissions and multimedia entry were astounding and going above and beyond the expectations placed in those events. For his strong work ethic, unwavering devotion to the job, and quality of performance for his House, I'd like to recommend Kazmir Natas for a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Congratulations!

During the course of the recent Vendetta, Kazmir Natas was one of the most active participants in Taldryan. He overall participated in 19 separate events; which makes him the top most in the House. But eventually it wasn’t just his participation that set him apart, not even part of the Summit he acted like he was part of it, constantly pushing other members on e-mail, getting them to submit to events.

Even before Horizons, Kazmir has been nothing short of a blessing to Taldryan since his return. As a leader, it was my joy to have someone who could be counted on to not only do a project, but come up with ideas of his own in times. This commitment to sacrificing his own time so that the members of our House can benefit is exemplified in the amount of work he has shown not only on our projects but that of the entire Dark Brotherhood!

For his work in aiding and furthering Taldryan’s spirit, for his trepid desire to work for others, and for the leadership he’s shown over the past time, I recommend that a Grand Cross of the Dark Side be awarded to Obelisk Templar Kazmir Natas. Congratulations Kaz.
