I literally could not ask for a better Aedile than Ernordeth. This guy is incredible. He has consistently gone far above and beyond my expectations both in the things I've asked him to do, and the things he has undertaken on his own initiative. I asked him to help me keep our activity tracker Google Doc up to date, and he has consistently had it updated before I could get to it including several times when there were multiple dozens of medals awarded all at once. He took it upon himself to email each member on Tarentum's roster each week and has successfully brought back several members including Frosty and Dox. He has been a constant positive presence in our IRC channel, helping me to mentor our younger members and rally them to participate in last month's competitions. He has racked up a crazy amount of gaming over the past month. He has also been in constant contact with each new member and although it's still a small sample size, our retention rate has become absolutely stellar as a result. One new member just submitted an advancement survey with perfect marks and I believe it is in large part due to Ernordeth's efforts to remain in constant contact. More than all of that, however, I want to recognize Ernordeth because over the past few weeks I've been going through some family issues in real life and have been unavailable for a few days. Despite being new to the position and relatively new to the Brotherhood, Ernordeth stepped up to the plate and kept everything running perfectly when I couldn't. It has been a huge weight off my shoulders to know I can rely on and trust Ernordeth as my second in command. Tarentum already owes him a debt, and I hope this can begin to show my appreciation for all he has done.

Teu has recently taken over the role of Department of CORE Studies Professor, the busiest department the Shadow Academy maintains. Despite taking on this high traffic job, she has also retained responsibility over the Wiki Courses until a suitable Docent is found.

In all aspects of this new role, Teu is excelling. She maintains a very fast turnaround time, some times as quick as a couple of minutes but never longer than a day.

This performance in and of itself is impressive - and above what I ask of Shadow Academy staff - but Teu also took up the task of assisting the transition of the Shadow Academy from its current home to the new website.

In completing this task, Teu took 14 courses and changed their notes from the old (and very messy) HTML structure and converted it over to the new Markdown system being used. She also took the opportunity to make sure all the links are still up to date and valid.

It’s thanks to Teu’s efforts that I can now say that the Shadow Academy is ready for the full switch to the new DJB website.
