All good things come to end. A lot of people see that as bad, but bear with me. Since joining the Brotherhood, Q had made a great impact. I am not talking only of the previously awarded things like the Celebration comps or his recognition by Pravus. Despite his real-life obligations, Qyreia has continued to be a fun and positive influence within Clan Naga Sadow.

Energetic, talkative and encouraging, he has served as a worthy successor in leading the Devil's Shroud Battleteam for another month since his last recognition. His previous efforts were recognized by a Steel Cross, but he has lost none of his zeal. His reports are both zany and fun, and his efforts to engage his memberbase have been shown in the excellent activity within the Battleteam. Though this may be in part due to all the time spent in Telegram when he is able, continuing to join in on and even sometimes even instigate Clan antics and fun. Hell, he even got a Dark Cross from the Grand Master for contributing positively to the club in communications! Qyreia continues to lead his team from the front in terms of activity, having participated in forty-one competitions. He has also created and run another five competitions himself. All these things even led to him getting a Steel Cross this February.

Though his activities may be well-varied, this Mercenary still strives for excellence, having gathered six Crescents with Diamond Star, four Crescents with a Ruby Star, nine Crescents with a Amethyst Star, two Crescent with a Sapphire Star, another two Crescents with Emerald Star, an impressive (given his RL commitments especially) three hundred and seventeen Clusters of Fire, a Pendant of Blood, and sixty-four Clusters of Ice since his last recognition. He also helped to mentor Leeadra up to the rank of Knight, netting him a Scroll of the Master. So needless to say this man has been building his own little trove of shinies.

His efforts in fiction have been especially extraordinary: over twenty-nine thousand words of fiction in the thirteen fiction activities he has participated in. There are also the one thousand eight hundred and five words he has written in RO posts. Though writing is an obvious strength- haven won his one ACC match- he has also completed twelve PvP matches and five PvE activities. He also continues his efforts in the Shadow Academy, showing the importance of contining to learn after you hit JM4: completing six classes and netting himself another degree.

Based on these things, and given the continued fun that Qyreia continues to generate within the Clan and club, I think that all good things come to and end. The times as Journeyman were great fun for many of us, but it is time for this Mercenary to step up and join the ranks of our Equite members. Welcome to the Equites, Privateer Qyreia. I hope you keep up the good work. Enjoy the shinies of your new rank, try not to overload on the sugar, and I hope to be writing the next recommendation soon.

Although Qyreia has been leading an extremely busy real life, with being gone most of the weekday and only being able to have some downtown during the weekends, the past few weeks have seen him lead his Battle Team to the best of his capabilities.

During Operation: Firestorm he has ensured that his team participated in the event, accounting for an activity rate of over 70%. Just before the event Qyreia also ran his first BT level event, which turned out to be well received.

Despite not always being on even terms with each other, Qyreia has brought valuable input to situations and has improved the communication line within the House Summit. He is not afraid to speak up when he notices something that he thinks is unfair or incorrect, nor is he incapable of admitting fault. This is a valuable attribute to have as a leader and team player.

Whilst still a little rough on the edges (as are we all), the decision to see Qyreia step up as BTL has not been a mistake and I am glad to have seen him grow into his position the last few months.

Welcome to the Equites, I hope you enjoy being one!

Despite the fact that his military training keeps demanding more and more of him, Qyreia hasn't slowed down much at all. He keeps on being a vibrant and bubbly personality, both inside Telegram and competitions. Always available for a chat, or giving advice, Q makes one of those members that you hope to get when you're helping lead a clan. Dedicated, full of ideas, extremely active, and always willing to lend a hand.

As the person who brought him into the fold, I'm extremely proud of what he has, and is, accomplishing. As such I am honored to see him risen up to the ranks of the Equite.

Congratulations Q, bloody good work old boy!

I'll leave the metrics to the current summit of Shar Dakhan. What I will be discussing is Qyreia's character, as a person. Promotion requests like this one are easy to write, because the member makes their own case for themself, leaving little need for justification. What Qyreia does so well is embody the personality you look for in this club.

As a member, Qyreia is supremely enthusiastic and energetic, bringing everything to the table for each task. This is an infectious thing to witness and be a part of. This also translates into a perfectionist streak. Not once have I seen a fiction submission from Qyreia that is less than 4000 words. To top that number, there is rarely wasted space in those words! Everything contributes to the story Qyreia is creating. That same care of detail and skill translates into Qyreia's leadership and drive. Despite my departure from Naga Sadow, I still sit in the chat groups for Qyreia's battleteam, and the Clan itself. From there, I see Qyreia's continued performance, despite the obligations of real life drastically reducing his ability to participate.

Seeing that fire still burning, no matter the situation, makes it easy for me to append a recommendation among the others here. A truly deserved promotion.

Qyreia is our well-loved Merc.

He was our first member to join as a Mercenary, he was the first to reach the rank of Professional within the Brotherhood and I'm pleased to see him as the first (new) member to reach the rank of Privateer.

His work, his dedication, his drive and his personality have all been covered amply by others. Q-ball, as I like to call him, has been one of many new members that have flourished in Naga Sadow and have contributed greatly to the growth of the Clan over these past 12 months.

I'd hate to think what Telegram would be like without him and I hate to think what Naga Sadow would be like also. Qyreia has, despite recent heavy rl commitments, continued to fulfil his duty as BTL, running a BTL event and participating well in the recent Clan event, Operation: Firestorm.

Qyreia is one of reliable Journeymen and will now become one of our reliable Equites.

Congratulations on joining the big boys, soldier.
