I am honoured to be recommending Nadrin for this Grand Cross of the Darkside. His hard work and dedication to Clan Arcona and both House Qel-Droma and House Galeres. Since his last reward he has been an active and dedicated member on the front lines for all of the Dark Crusades inspiring others to both join in and get involved in helping the clan achieve dominance recently.

Since receiving any merit medal he has managed to participate in a total of sixteen competitions, ranging from Kalsunor, Svolten, Bhargebba. An Impressive amount of competition on its own, but as well as this he has managed to take a huge amount of medals during this time frame, these include three Gold Nova, three Silver Nova and a Bronze Nova for his work during the Dark Crusade. As well as having one Seal of Reminiscences, eight clusters of fire and six clusters of Ice, an impressive amount of medals over the period of time he has been able to achieve them in.

Though if this wasn't enough on its own when Galeres needed an experienced member to step up to the plate and help the House out he was the one to step up. Assuming the mantle of Battleteam Leader of Soulfire Strike Team. A team that needed a strong hand to continue to make it work hard, as well as the guidance of an experienced leader. He jumped at the chance with little time before a Dark Crusade we found ourselves in, through his motivation, presence on IRC and constant drive we saw Soulfire become the best performing Battleteam this round of the Dark Crusade. An impressive feat for someone in the position for such a short period of time. He has already got a report out and been in contact with his members to see if there is anything they wanted to do.

His hard work and dedication and devotion to this club has not gone unnoticed. I am proud to be giving such a member this Grand Cross. Congratulation Nadrin well deserved mate. Keep up the hard work I look forward to seeing what you do next.

Quaestor of House Galeres

Having Chris with us has been a boon and a revitalizing force inside of Galeres. I'm unsure we could be flourishing so much without him. Our BT's are a big part of the House, and he stepped up to bring Soulfire into the limelight (and not kicking and screaming, either).

Chris took what was becoming a largely unresponsive team and rallied them into activity. Soulfire displayed some of the best participation of all the Clan's BT's this last round, and I can speak at length of the talkative email chains we've seen. But more than that, his attitude has been wonderful. He's energetic, personable, and funny, all while being firm, and it's been a pleasure to work with him.

I'm delighted to see him reaping some reward for all that effort. He's certainly earned it. Enjoy the Grand Cross, bro!

Aedile of House Galeres

Nadrin has managed to participate in five out of the six events in the third chapter of Phase I. Nadrin also went above and beyond by running the ACB for Qel'Droma's 'House Divided' event, allowing for members to develop their characters while resting from the Crusade. Not only did Nadrin do this, but he was also one of the rare few to have full participation in Svolten's General Forces events. Over the past few months, Nadrin has been a great support figure for members of Void and of Arcona in general.
