Xantros’ latest six-month term in the Shadow Academy has been extremely valuable to both the Academy and the Brotherhood, as a whole. Xantros came to the position with the idea to host the monthly Mysteries Explained competition series and helped ensure that those ran faithfully – including five parent competitions, each with three smaller competitions of fiction, graphics and a puzzle. He also went the extra mile to create the prompts and rules for a sixth parent and its sub-competitions to make it easier for his replacement to hit the ground running.
Xantros also took on the role of creating and hosting the live Shadow Academy trivia on Discord, which involved selecting topics, writing 20 questions and multiple-choice answers around that topic and finding and formatting a few images for each round to use with the trivia. While these were initially planned as monthly competitions, he stepped up as it became more popular and helped us run them more frequently, for a total of eight during his term.
In addition to running competitions, Xantros also worked to lay the groundwork for six new courses, some of which will ultimately become a new intel-focused combat degree (one he even started prior to his term in a non-staff role just to help the SA). Those six course drafts include a great deal of research and synthesis of information on some niche topics, over 10,000 words of course notes, 86 exam questions and a ton of links to relevant material!
Though he would modestly deflect and call it simply “madness,” this kind of initiative and effort, some of which he completed in the final days of his term simply due to inspiration and motivation, exemplify Xantros’ commitment to help better the Brotherhood by continuing to produce new and interesting content for its members. It is for this reason that I am honored to recommend Xantros for his third Amethyst Kukri, and thank him again for his faithful and exceptional service to the Shadow Academy.
Congratulations, Xantros!

Xantros contributions to Clan leadership in Scholae Palatinae at the highest summit levels is something I personally was a part of, having succeeded him in the role after years of his time supporting the Clan. Yet he has sought opportunities to support the Shadow Academy, or just run on his own many competitions over the years that provide an opportunity for other members to do something as well. He is truly a content creator in this community and just reading through his multiple sacramental medals and all his merit medals speaks to his contributions and the role he has played over all these years. He truly stands apart among Equites and should stand among Elders. Congratulations Xantros on your promotion to Elder.

Recommendation:
It is an absolutely pleasure to bring Xantros forth to join the Elder ranks. As you'll see below from the metrics he's been a powerhouse of activity both in terms of participating and organizing since his last elevation on May 17th, 2017.
Xantros was one of the first people I met when I rejoined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and I was impressed with his effortless way of poking in and smiling mischievously into the void and sparking conversations. As an individual who exists on the other side of the world I'm sure timing to communicate with us all was a challenge and yet he is as constant a presence as anyone else in the clan.
If Reiden is our Puzzle Master, Xantros is our Puzzle Keeper (Ghostbuster reference). His puzzles are torturously wonderful. There's something uniquely fun about trying to put together a puzzle of a Taun-taun on Hoth with nearly all white on the screen.
His time as Aedile oversaw several large competitions, specifically the Dark Times Saga which he coordinated with Dek and the rest of the Summit. Since rejoining the Headmistress's staff he's coordinate the lives trivia sessions and unique competitions on her behalf. While grading 72 Shadow Academy courses!
When you look at his activity contributions, just since his last promotion, he's written a novel's worth of words and continues to be one of the consistent PvP players of Hearthstone!
I'm extremely proud of Xantro's long contribution to the Brotherhood and I look forward to his continued engagement as an Elder!

Since his last recognition (August, 2020), Xantros has participated in 131 total competitions. Of this amazing showing, 25 of these competitions were for the Plagueis Pro Bowl which is an impressive 100% participation rate. He earned a Top 10 overall placement in this event and earned 161 points for his team. For his efforts, Xantros has earned 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 3 Crescents with Ruby Star, 9 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 14 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 9 Crescents with Emerald Star and 2 Crescents with Topaz Star. These crescents are in recognition for a variety of activities! For gaming, Xantros has participated in 83 PvP matches, being a staple of the DJB Hearthstone community. For his gaming efforts he has earned 603 Clusters of Fire. On the fictional front, Xantros has participated in 27 fiction activities excluding the ACC, and has earned 55 Clusters of Ice for writing 23,424 words of fiction and 2,344 Run On words. He has also earned 26 Clusters of Graphite for his artistic endeavors.
In the last year, Xantros has also organized or co-organized 19 competitions, including an incredibly popular puzzle series which is ongoing as of writing. Xantros has also passed 8 Shadow Academy courses and gained one degree, and was also awarded 1 Scroll of Foundation for their admirable service to the Shadow Academy.
Beyond his recognition for SA service, I must return to Xantros’s leadership - both formal, and informal. Between August 2020 to July 2021, Xantros served 11 months as an Aedile. In this role, he was a pillar of the Scholae Palatinae community. As has already been remarked, Xantros consistently leads by example with his high level of activity, communicated regularly with his House members together and one-on-one via e-mail, and worked with the Clan Summit to develop Clan lore and completed other administrative tasks. And though he resigned from the position of Aedile, Xantros continues to lead by example through his high rates of activity, and by positively encouraging members to communicate and do more through consistent and polite chat engagement.
For their ongoing contributions to Clan Scholae Palatinae and this club, I hereby nominate Xantros for an Amethyst Kukiri. Congratulations, and keep up the amazing work.
