Janus Stormwind is most strongly recommended for his first Sapphire Blade. Janus is simply put, an exemplar within Clan Odan-Urr and the backbone of the unit. In terms of participation the numbers are staggering. Since his last merit award Janus has participated in 119 competitions, and organized 1. He has taken part in 4 PVP activities and 2 ACC matches. He wrote 6504 words of fiction and passed 4 SA courses. A prolific commenter, he has written 30 comments on news posts. For his efforts, he has earned a staggering array of 47 Crescents, 19 COI, 12 COF, 10 COE, 85 COG, 1 SOI, and 11 SOW.

Now, those are just metrics and are not what truly makes Janus shine, however staggering and impressive those plaudits may be. Janus is the embodiment of the strong and silent type. No politics, no drama, never a bad word from Janus. He is active in email traffic and Telegram and is a guiding force within Satele Shan specifically, but the Clan as a whole.

Furthermore, Janus truly is the ideal Odanite. Every event, no matter at the House, Clan, or DJB wide Janus ALWAYS steps up to help his unit and participates in nearly every event. Not for glory, not for personal gain, but for a true and ardent desire to help others and not let his team down. Janus is an example of a member that goes unsung, tragically, because he simply causes no waves while helping to steer the ship of leadership. Every tasking asked, every undertaking, every single thing he can do for us he has done without hesitation. Janus is a pillar of the Clan and has been so for years. This award is long in the making and is utterly well deserved.

Janus isn't a showboater, so it's easy to overlook the full breadth of his activity. And that's a shame, because it's staggering. Look at those numbers again. 120 comp participations in an award rec is crazy, even moreso when to stop to appreciate that those were 120 times when someone, maybe a unit leader or just another member, asked to see what their fellow members could do. And 120 times, Janus showed up. Art competitions, in particular, tend to languish without many submissions, so I personally delighted every time I see a member like Janus submit to one, especially when to entry shows the level of thought and effort that he puts into his work.

Janus, I don't know why you came over to Odan-Urr, but we're very happy to have you here and I hope we'll provide you with a wonderful home for many years to come. Keep up the excellent work!

One of Odan-Urr’s most active and consistent members. Benn Nevis is a man of few words but much action. Since his last recognition, Benn has participated in an impressive 79 competitions which earned him - 2 Crescent with Diamond Stars, 2 Crescent with Ruby Stars, 9 Crescent with Amethyst Stars, 4 Crescent with Sapphire Stars, 9 Crescent with Emerald Stars, 2 Crescent with Topaz Stars, 1 Cluster of Ice, 36 Clusters of Graphite, and 1 Seal of Transcendence. He has also passed 5 SA courses and written over 900 words of fiction. Well done Benn Nevis and keep up the great work. We know that we will continue to see great things from you my friend!

If I were to find a member of Odan-Urr to whom I would ascribe the adage of "Slow and steady wins the race" it would be our own Benn, routine activity, paced throughout the year, without drawing any attention to themselves, before occasionally giving the Clan a sporadic boom of activity and returning to their steady pace. Benn's activity has shown, by routine participation and continual pressure you can leave a lasting imprint on your unit. I'm glad to see this Sapphire Blade to its new owner, and hope you'll find it rewarding for the effort you've given The Brotherhood and Clan Odan-Urr, Benn.

Ever Onwards!

Benn is another of our members who always has something cooking. Consistently active, whether he's pushing out a bunch of competitions at once, or going through a couple of small competitions in a week, there hasn't yet been a period where I've checked the report and not seen his name somewhere, waiting, on the Odan-Urr activity tracker.

I don't know Benn too well, at least not yet, but I can tell a lot from a person's activity. Benn has been very active since his last recognition. He organized one competition and participated in nearly thirty. He has won 6 Crescents and 39 Clusters, ranked in the Aurora Collegium of Sciences, and earned a degree. Congrats. Now keep it up! :D ~Vyr
