Event History

Talon is by far one of the most active members Taldryan has to offer, and was a key player in our victory in the first round of the Dark Crusade.. He managed to snag himself 9 Seals of Reminiscence for his participation in the tenth Independence Games (with 5 placings) - he also participated in 7 Events of the Dark Crusade, receiving a Bronze Nova for placing second in the Krayiss II Run-On Event. Additionally Talon has passed a dozen of Shadow Academy courses which granted him the Maven of Flight, and continues to speak his mind freely with ideas to increase activity within the house after taking his first Apprentice. For being an extremely awesome asset to Taldryan, I request that Talon Drear be awarded a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Obelisk Prelate Rian Aslar Quaestor of House Taldryan

Talon Drear has been my master for only a short time - but I am proud to have him at my side, aiding me along the Taldryan Summit. Talon’s being a really good master. Keeping me in track and harassing me when I need harassing. Guardian Nero Inferni

Member of House Taldryan

During the course of the Dark Crusade’s first Phase, Talon Drear has shown exemplary team work and extraordinary effort for his House Taldryan. This member takes his time spent in this club seriously, managing a total of 7 completed event submissions through the first 3 months of the Crusade, snagging 9 Seals for his strong participation in the Independence Games. In that time he has earned a Bronze Nova and 5 Crescents, ranging from Amethyst to Sapphire stars.

Talon’s inspiration was a driving force in Taldryan during the first two months of the Crusade, being one of the most outspoken members in Taldryan during that time. Leading off his Run-On team in Chapter 1 of the Crusade, he was on IRC daily and has been highly active over the mailing list the entire time. His efforts as a member of Taldryan and the Brotherhood warranted his promotion to Equite 1 recently, and is no surprise that he is up for a big Merit Award.

This member is deserving of much high praise, and many Tally’s have made their wishes known to see this member awarded with the best. Talon has been working closely with his Apprentice, Nero, in making sure he reaches the coveted rank of Dark Jedi Knight, and has done a magnificent job at seeing him through the Journeymen ranks.

For a great ethic, high activity and awesome presence, I hereby add my recommendation for Templar Talon Drear to be awarded a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Well done, my friend!

- Aedile of House Taldryan, Exarch Shaz’air Taldrya

Talon Drear is one of the finest examples of a member that a House could ask for. Since the beginning of the Dark Crusades, Tally has been an active participant in well over half of the available events. His activity in the recent Independance Games was also stellar, participating in 9 events. Throughout the whole time since this series of competitions has begun, Tally has been an active and outspoken member on IRC, and over the mailing lists, encouraging other members to step up, and be more active for the betterment of Taldryan. His leadership and fervor was instrumental in forming, planning, and executing a Runon in Phase Two that placed in the top five.

Despite the heavy workload that has been put upon us all, Talon has also stepped up to begin mentoring Nero Inferni, one of Taldryan’s up and coming members, as well as completed quite a few Shadow Academy courses, and has also stepped up in offering suggestions to the Taldryan leadership in the hopes of helping Taldryan further.

For this, and so much more, I recommend that Talon Drear receive a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Dossier #83

Tally has been a great force in Taldryan’s ranks in these last few months, he has taken on Nero as his apprentice, and has successfully pestered of him to get to Guardian (and I believe Nero has only a task or two left to hit Jedi Hunter). Moreover, he has been a solid participant in the Dark Crusades and the Independence Games, and will continue to do so in the future. All this, from a guy that refused promotions for years - because he wanted to be one of the guys at Dark Jedi Knight. Talon Drear, like many of Taldryan’s finest does things for the betterment of his unit (and his friends). Someone once crafted Taldryan’s motto: A Brotherhood within a Brotherhood - and Tally’s intent (and his equally important actions) throughout the last few months show us that this spirit still exists. I strongly recommend Talon Drear be awarded the Grand Cross of the Dark Side to recognize his consistent efforts to further House Taldryan.

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor for your most awesome work during the first Phase of the Dark Crusade I am hereby requesting you to be awarded with a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. You have pushed yourself beyond what dedication to your House should look like, participating in every event of the Crusade in the last three rounds as well as being a great asset to Sid and myself at keeping track of member activities and sending out e-mails to the rest of the House reminding them to give all their best they can. Thank you Yacks. Obelisk Prelate Rian Aslar Quaestor of House Taldryan

#10701

When I came back from my hiatus, I was met with two interesting characters in Taldryan: Howie and Yacks. This isn’t about Howie, so let’s move on. Yacks and I clicked immediately, so I knew he deserved a Grand Cross. However, it helped that he has been one of, if not the main, driving force behind Taldryan’s recent successes and accomplishments on the DB stage. He initiated and completed most of the revamped Taldryan Military Wiki articles, corrected an erroneous DC-made fleet points sheet, stood up for wrongfully punished members, encouraged new blood to become a part of Taldryan culture, along with the OFH promoted and pushed all of Taldryan beyond the finish line in all chapters of the first phase of the Crusades, and still continues to drive every aspect of the House towards a standard of excellence with such passion some might mistake for a mental illness.

I do not hesitate to say that Yacks is the backbone of Taldryan, and for his work during and around the Crusades deserves nothing less than a Grand Cross. While you’re at it, promote him to Dark Prophet!

- Tarax

Yacks is an interesting guy. I would like to say I don’t understand his motivation after fifteen years in this place, but that would be a lie - because I’ve known him for just as long. What I mean to say is that his motivation makes no sense. This is a guy that more or less topped out on the DB’s honours nearly a decade ago, there is no where left to go for him - unless some damn fool makes him Grand Master (that said, if someone wants to promote his ass to Dark Jedi Primarch, please do!). Yet he remains as Taldryan’s heart, soul and left kidney. He has an obsessive need to see Taldryan do well, and his actions on both an individual (participating in all the Crusade events and placing in many) and group (motivation of Taldryan’s younger members, and pestering and guilting her older or ancient ones) level. As a token of my (and Taldryan’s) appreciation for all that he does - I recommend Yacko for the Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

-Howie

I know some people wonder why you still hang around and fight for this place, Yacks; but I'd like think that I know why.

Lately, Yacks and I have been saying the same things; and often time it's kind of odd. I definitely, thought it was odd; for a while at least. Yacks never trained me; he was never around for long periods of time while I was leading in Taldryan. In fact, I didn't know Yacks extremely well until the time of the tenth GJW; at least that's what I had thought. However, I'm now fairly confident we came back to Taldryan for the same reasons.

During the Crusade, Yacks has been an exemplary standard to measure one's self by. He has had perfect participation, he has placed in many events, he given advice to many people, he has reworked a vast majority of Taldryan's military fleet, and he has encouraged members to push themselves higher through direct communication and over the mailing list. Yacks ability to give everything he has on a personal level, and push those around to higher levels is amazing. It reminds me of 2004 when I was new and Kir would drive this clan to claim its place as king of the proverbial hill; and that's just one of many examples of the many things Taldryan's leadership has done that resembles Yacks' effort.

While all of this seems winding and rambling, it has a point. There is a reason for this resemblance, and I've only recently figured it out. Yacks is one of Taldryan's founders, and his will is forever apart of our clans identity. It has been passed down through the leadership for years now, and without it I wouldn't be who I am. His love for Taldryan pushes him to do everything he can for its sake; and that is the reason why Yacks still fights as hard as he does. That's the reason I came back, and it's the reason I have stayed around; and because of that I am more than happy to write all of this. Seriously, I'm just happy that they've let me give this recommendation; if only to show my gratitude for everything. I'd like to hereby recommend Keirdagh Taldrya for a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.
