Alethia, better known as Arch, has been a stead fast and reliable part of the Satele Shan summit team. Arch dropped into the position of Aedile with the Odan-Urr v. Plagueis Feud right around the corner, and hit the ground running. With the Feud fast approaching we as a summit were tasked with creating a new planet for the house to inhabit after the Feud. While the planet is still in the tail end of development Arch has been instrumental in continuing and containing the House conversation in a more visible and realistic direction over various forms of communication. He has played a ying to my yang and has helped ground some of my more extreme ideas and bring me back to the task at hand. During the recent Feud Arch was the only member of the entire Clan to participate in every competition offered during the event. He has helped keep lines of communication open with our Battle Teams during all of this to facilitate their incorporation into our future plans. I have come to rely upon Arch as my primary proofer and for assistance on drafting and pushing out the monthly House report as well as putting out his own monthly report. With patience he has played interactive idea board for me as we develop plans for the future of the house. Most recently he has taken a large role in writing recommendations as we trudged through the post Feud awarding phase. If it was not for Arch I do not know where the awards would be now as the last few weeks I have been preoccupied with real life and finishing the last bits of school work before graduation. To say Arch has become essential and irreplaceable to the daily running of Satele Shan would be an understatement.

Arch, You have done much to further the betterment of the house and Clan since becoming my Aedile. I greatly appreciate all you have done and hopefully this Grand Cross is a small way in which I can thank you. Keep up the great work brother.

When I put out a call for new ACC Judges from the newer generation of members, I was elated to read over Archen’s application. Once hired, he wasted no time blasting through the mandatory training all ACC Judges go through--he shadowed a few ACC Matches and Qualification exams before taking on 2 Qualification Exams on his own (with oversight), and then 2 ACC Matches on his own (with oversight).

Since establishing himself as an ACC Judge, Archen has been the most active Judge on the ACC staff. At the time of this writing, he has Graded 10 ACC matches on his own. He has also graded 5 ACC Qualification Exams. Archen handles his duties as a judge in a timely manner and has yet to let down.

On top of his work as a Judge, Archen is an active contributor to ACC Staff discussions. Most recently, he was vocal on the Martial Arts Form discussion, working through some hurdles to help come up with better names for our Martial Arts Forms.

Combined with his stellar work as a Leader in Clan Odan Urr, I think that Archen has more than earned this merit medal. Congratulations, Archen, I appreciate having you on my team.
