Arvalis Raith is one of those diligent members that are the true backbone of any Clan, standing to up to what ever his Summit calls for without hesitation. Sadly with such members like Arvalis, it comes easily that we miss to reward them appropriately for their hard work; but not today:

Over the course of the recent five years, Arvalis has served in a multitude of positions from Quaestor of Dinaari over Magistrate to the Herald to being a member of the Wiki Staff of Assistants. Combined his time in leadership positions largely excels over two years of active service while maintaining a high level of personal activity at the same time.

Speaking of which, his personal activity chart is flawless, a breaking twohundred fifty one competitions stand against a total of eighty three Crescents of varying Levels, bringing his participation to placement ration to a one out of three. Similar can be said about his performance during Vendettas where Arvalis collected six Novae, including four Gold Novae, from forty Vendetta events.

Most recently Arvalis excelled as one of the top gamers of the clan, working himself up through the ranks of the Grandmasters Royal Guard from Rank X up to Rank XII while over time collecting almost two thousand Clusters of Fire (1979), more than one thousand five hundred Clusters of Earth (1554) and fifteen Pendants of Blood.

Likewise Arvalis Raith is proficient in both Writing and in the fields of Graphics where he regularily constributes to the growth of both communities by participating in available competitions for which he snagged eighty two Clusters of Ice and thirty five Clusters of Graphite But he not only participates in available competitions, he also adds to their pool iof activities by running competitions of his own. Not to be outdone, he is usually also one of the first to offer his help when it comes to proofing another members of the Clan.

Talking about running competitions, Arvalis ran a total of twenty two competitions, most notably his Cipher series and published a total of ten Newsposts as both Quaestor of Dinaari and Magistrate to the Herald. He also earned two Dark Side Scrolls during his time as Wiki staff member, one for writing a featured article and one for having designed an official venue for the Antei Combat Centre.

Again and again Arvalis has proved himself before his House and Clan Summit and yet he always finds something more to focus on and become more skilled, for example at one point the Shadow Academy where he passed sixty nine Exams in order to gain four Dark Mavens, five Dark Savants and two Dark Sages.

Of course this hasn't gone unnoticed by his superiors, whom in return rewarded him with five Dark Crosses, three Anteian Crosses, one Steel Cross and one Grand Cross of the Dark Side as well as an Sapphire Blade and two Seals of Loyalty.

While all the above focus on Arvalis personal achievements, it also needs to be stated that he puts great effort in the growth of his Clan and the Brotherhood as shown through the two Scrolls of the Master for mentoring two members of Taldryan up to the rank of Journeyman 4 and six Scrolls of Indoctrination which he received for Twitter activities revolving around the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

He also played a major role in the construction of Taldryan's new Dominion after the Clan was forced to create a new system for its own in the course of the official Brotherhood Canon fiction.

Through his diligence and dedication to his Clan and the Brotherhood Arvalis has time and time again earned his promotion for which it is my greates honour to recommend that Arvalis Raith be elevated to the rank of Equite 3.

Congratz Kaz!

Rian Taldrya, 2018-07-24 17:59:16 UTC

Kaz has been a guide to me as I was finding my way as a newly appointed Quaestor. He is not afraid to provide me with honest and constructive feedback. It is exactly this type of candor that has helped me grow in my own position. Kaz did not need to stick his neck out to help me along the way but I appreciate that he did very much. Kaz was also a very early supporter of the Sphere of Research and Intelligence, an on-going series of events within House Ektrosis. His support didn't simply come in the form of participation in the events, although that was also integral, he also has volunteered to help me updated SRI related wiki items. It is the support from veteran members like Kaz that helped get this fledgling concept off of the ground. It is because of this, and the other reasons I mention, that I am happy to lend my support to this promotion.

Raiheaux, 2018-07-17 23:15:17 UTC

Kaz's activity level of late has been nothing short of stellar. He seems to take part in virtually everything, and is also incredibly active on Telegram. This kind of presence, especially for a member who does not currently hold a leadership role, is exactly the kind of member that Taldryan is in need of. He has, along with a few others, been a vital part of our recent resurgence.

Congrats, Kaz!

As a character witness I have watched Arvalis become one of the most active members of Taldryan. He is loyal to his Clan and is always there if you need him. I know this because he’s helped me personally with a myriad of projects, most notably he has helped me setup the Gatekeeper and Lore keeper challenges and has tweaked and created the Wiki Articles which correspond with said competitions. He has also gone as far as to offer advice on my ideas for the Master/Student program of Taldryan. He has been there for me to bounce ideas off of and is definitely not afraid to tell you if he thinks an idea needs work while offering sound ideas of his own. A very goal oriented individual, he approaches the DB with a rare excitement and when he sets his mind to something, he will stick it out until he has achieved it. This has been shown with his stellar performance in gaming, competitions (both running and participating), graphics, and Projects; proficient in many avenues of the DB. He has proven to be more than worthy of this elevation and it’s a great honor for me to push for this. He has become a friend and a true ally. Without him I can say, with honesty, that Taldryan wouldn’t be where it is now. We appreciate you, Kaz. Now, continue to do all the things!!!

It has been a true pleasure to see Kaz return to Taldryan and become an active force within the Clan. His activity speaks for itself, and while not on the summit at the moment, I do see Kaz as a leader in the Clan. He has taken it upon himself to try and help out in any way possible, and he is a big reason why Taldryan has begun to pull itself out of its downward spiral.

I am more than happy to recommend Kaz to the next Equite rank, and I am hoping he continues to play a big part in Taldryan!

Lord Halcyon, 2018-07-24 14:51:05 UTC

Justinios Drake is one of the finest Taldryan has brought up in some time. He is a stellar asset to the Clan, emphazising what it means to be a true Tally. Not afraid, he stands his ground in front of any other member even those higher up the chain of command to point out at things that doesn't work as they should while at the same time being the hell of an active member who is not only successfully running a House within Taldryan where his monthly Research Projects draw a good amount of interest from members from all around the Clan but keeps to amaze me by the sheer and constant amount of personal activity he constributes to the Brotherhood.

With his activity, quantity meets quality. Out of ninety competitions, Justinios placed in nearly every third of them, collecting a total of twenty-six Crescents of varying Levels. While Justinios shines in all different sorts of Competitions no matter if Graphics or Fiction, it is Gaming where Justinios really excels. Gamingwise, Justinios collected well over one thousand Clusters of Earth (1732 Clusters of Earth) as well as 138 Clusters of Fire and 6 Pendants of Blood.

But Justinios activity doesn't stop at gaming or participating in competitions. The Shadow Academy too, isn't something unknown to him. Since his last elevation in rank, Justinios passed almost twenty different Exams, gained 2 Dark Maven Degrees (Historical Legends and Leadership) as well as one Dark Savant Degree (History and Lore).

And yet there is more Justinios shines. Serving as the Quaestor of the only House of Taldryan, he made it his personal goal to bring Ektrosis back to its former glory by utilizing a unique way to incorporate the moral decisions made by the members of Ektrosis in competitions revolving around his Research Projects into the fictional development of the House.

On top of that Justinios has recently assisted the Grandmaster in cataloged more than two hundred events and releases related to the Brotherhood or Star Wars in general while most recently having joined the Fist staff as Magistrate where he has already run several Gaming competitions.

All this has happened since his last promotion seven month ago and proves the awesomeness that defines Justinios Drake. For this it is my greatest honor to submit this recommendation for you to be promoted to the second rank of Equites: Savant. Congratulations Justinios.

Rian Taldrya Consul of Clan Taldryan

Rian Taldrya, 2018-07-24 17:59:18 UTC

Rian's excellent recommendation says a lot, but I'd like to add my piece.

As soon as Justinios joined Taldryan, I knew we had a special one. He took part in every single type of activity, but, more importantly, he also joined in with discussions across the DB's many communications channels. In doing this, he has helped bring Taldryan back into the forefront of the DB's culture. Once again, the clan is racking up clusters and winning competitions, and this is thanks in no small part to Justinios.

Since he's stepped up as Quaestor, he's only improved further. Under his leadership, House Ektrosis has been completely revitalised, and, even though I've been in the club for many, many years, I am still learning from him every day as his Aedile. Every single member of Ektrosis, from the grizzly old veterans, to the newest members, know exactly who Justinios is and what he does. To me, that typifies exactly what a Quaestor should be.

Enjoy the custom lightsaber, weird blue science guy.

As already noted, Justinios' activity has been well beyond the norm. However, one of the reasons he truly deserves this promotion is for his continued dedication to the Clan and the club as a whole. Until I re-joined Taldryan, I was not overtly familiar with Justinios. However, I quickly came to see the drive that he had for this club. I joined Ektrosis specifically because of the work he was doing on the fictional front, with the creation of the SRI and the series of competitions around it. The competitions were fun and original, and we were creating something unique for the Clan.

Jumping into Proconsul allowed me to work closer with him, and my appreciation only grew. He wanted the Clan to succeed. He is a consummate leader and professional, in constant communication with both those under him as well as with the rest of the Summit. He is also looking for new and better ways to help the Clan grow and prosper. On top of that he has jumped into the wider world of the DB, specifically in gaming, wanting to help grow SW games once more. It's a daunting task, but his willingness to do the necessary work should be commended.

Congratulations on moving up the next rung, and I am hoping to see much much more from you!

Lord Halcyon, 2018-07-09 13:13:35 UTC

Justinios Drake, what can I say about our tiny Aleena. He is one of Taldryan’s finest members and is overall an amazing person both in and out of character. While others have listed his specific activity, allow me to speak of the person. When I rejoined the DB, Justinios was a stranger to me, but the more we spoke, the more I realized just how good he is at what he does. He has vital real life experience that carries over very well to the Brotherhood and when I served as his Aedile for a brief period we were able to discuss and work with each other right off the bat. He is easy to work with and willing to stand up for what he believes in, passionate to the core. Since he walked into the DB he has been able to improve and inspire everyone around him, including myself. That is a special trait that not everyone has. He brings to the table a unique style that we could not do without and has been diligent in making Ektrosis and Taldryan a better place for new members and veterans alike. He has brought us the SRI (Sphere of Reasearch and Intelligence) and has been pivotal in creating countless competitions to correspond with the branch. Of course that is just the tip of the Iceberg of his accomplishments. He creates and promotes activity whenever and wherever he can and is always ready to aid his House and Clan with an unrelenting loyalty and dedication. He is extremely active in all walks of the DB, even stepping up in the gaming community as a Magistrate and working in the Shadow Academy as a Docent. He has earned a slew of awards, created and participated in countless competitions and is always there on Telegram, even if you just need someone to talk to. While most would look at this recommendation as fluffery, I assure you everything I said is true and from the heart. He’s become, not just a member of our Clan, but a friend. There is no one more deserving of this elevation. Congrats, brother. I look forward to working with you for a long long time.
