Whether you call him Vodo, Shanree, Ghostboy, or V.O.D.O 2: electric boogaloo, one thing is for certain; he is a part of Taldryan's genetic makeup. He's been part of Taldryan for so long that he's pretty much part of the furniture.

And that is not a bad thing. I remember when I joined Taldryan a couple of years ago, he was one of the first to greet me, offering any assistance if I needed it. That offer extended when I became Consul, when I became a Scion of Taldryan, and when I had to take a sudden leave of anscence, which led to his 4 month tenure as Quaestor in 2020. He took over for no other reason than he was asked too, because he cared about Taldryan, and he cared about Ektrosis. When I returned, I came back as his Aedile, and he took every measure to ensure I was OK. That's the kind of member he is, and I've remembered that to this day.

His last promotion was nearly 8 years ago now. In that time, he's participated in 163 competitions and has organised 21. He has earned the following awards;

Grand Cross x1

Steel Cross x2

Anteian Cross x2

Dark Cross x2

Gold Nova x1

Silver Nova x1

Bronze Nova x1

Crescent with a Diamond Star x1

Crescent with a Ruby Star x5

Crescent with a Amethyst Star x10

Crescent with a Sapphire Star x11

Crescent with a Emerald Star x15

Crescent with a Topaz Star x3

SA courses passed x5

On top of this, the idea for Taldryan becoming a Republic was inspired by an idea of his. He shared with the Clan the ideas behind a Roman Republic, which would eventually evolve and turn into what is now the Taldryan Republic.

Vodo, thank you for everything. I am proud to request your promotion to Elder. Congratulations!

I know Vodo literally from day one as a member of the Brotherhood. Back then he was an inspirational source who led me to strive for more and who, over time, became a close friend and a great source of advice whenever I was in need of some. It is a great honor to know him and have him around as the club would surely not be as it is right now if he wasn't part of it. Congratulations my friend!

Mystic Kadrol Hauen has reached the required 10000 XP to reach the rank of Savant.

Kadrol, while recently departed from Scholae Palatinae, joined us with the desire of making an impact on the long-term state of Scholae Palatinae. Since his last promotion he helped with the simplification of the Wiki in October 2020, engagement within the Headmistresses office, and for his most recent recognition participation in ProBowl V which included a couple Diamond Star crescents while continuing his self-improvement within the Shadow Academy.

I hope this promotion encourages him to rejoin Scholae Palatinae!

Bexa’s lively and friendly personality helped nurture new joins to the Club in her nine months as Rollmaster of Odan-Urr. She not only encouraged them to participate in our community and events but was a constant presence herself and would join in with us and even volunteered to host numerous times. The Master chat channel she created allowed those paired with a student to discuss better ways to guide the member through the Club and up the rank ladder while also allowing her to actively keep track of the relationship between Masters and their students.

Since her last promotion, she has been awarded 1 Grand Cross and 1 Dark cross for outstanding contributions to the Clan. Bexa has participated in 53 competitions, earning herself 2 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 2 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 4 Crescents with Emerald Stars, and 1 Crescent with Topaz Star. She has also earned 1 Cluster of Ice for 404 words of fiction, 5 Clusters of Earth for gaming, and 39 Clusters of Graphite for graphics submissions. She has also passed 6 Shadow Academy courses and was awarded 3 Seals of Ascension for participating in the last Club-wide event.

For all this, Bexa has reached the required 5000 XP to reach the rank of Peacekeeper.

Thank you, Bexa, for being a good friend to me and for your contributions to this Clan and the Club! Congratulations on your promotion to Equite 1!
