Essik Lyccane has been fairly busy since his last sacramental award. He has participated in 68 competitions, organized 1 competition, completed 2 PvE activities, 15 fiction activities for 55,355 words, 3 runon posts for 1,670 words, 13 Shadow Academy courses, and 6 Shadow Academy degrees. In addition, during our most recent [COU-PLA] clan feud, he was one of the few who fully participated in all bins. He also was the 1st feud hero, scoring the most individual points during the event!

During these activities he racked up 1 Gold Nova, 2 Crescents with Diamond Star, 11 Crescents with Ruby Star, 10 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 7 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 4 Crescents with Emerald Star, 3 Crescents with Topaz Star, 1 Crescent with Quartz Star, 1 Pendant of Blood, 123 Clusters of Ice, 4 Clusters of Earth, 24 Clusters of Graphite, 6 Dark Side Scrolls, 1 Scroll of Indoctrination, and 1 Legion of Scholar. Very impressive indeed!

But I’m not done yet. He was Wikipedian of the Month for October 2020, November 2020, January 2021, and March 2021. After digging into his wiki edits log from August 18th 2020 to current day he has performed ~885 edits in pages that aren’t related to his own. These span the entire DB gamut from individual character pages to clan level pages to core DB pages. Of those ~885 edits, he performed 555 image edits, 241 minor edits, and 89 edits that ranged from average to major edits. Not counting words for either image edits or minor edits, he has racked up 29,544 words. Only counting clan level pages and core DB pages, these cover 19 Odan-Urr pages, 22 DB-wide pages, and 65 Other Clans’ pages. I’ve listed them all below in their own paragraph for readability.

The following Odan-Urr pages were updated: House Sunrider, The Myrkr Crusade, The Scimitar of Lord Hoth, Quorahi, Seven Pillars, Desired One, Vatali Unsettled, Scars You Don’t See, Kiast (Planet), Vatali Empire, Tides of Change: an Arcona-Odan-Urr Event, Vauzem Dominion, Solari (MC80 Star Cruiser), Odanite Expeditionary Force, Clan Odan-Urr history, Sentinel Network: Sanctuary, and Dajorra-Yhi Concordat, Trepus Mine, and The Fang.

The following DB-wide pages were updated: DJBWiki: Featured Article, Category:Images-Pau’an, Shadow (disambiguation), DJBCoding:infobox Colors, 30 ABY to 39 ABY, The Severian Principate, Nythaspir, Nancora, Meridian Prime space station, Category:Images-Falleen, Category:Images-Iktotchi, Category:Images-Zeltron, Great Jedi War, Thirteenth Great Jedi War, Twelfth Great Jedi War, Arx, 20 ABY to 29 ABY, 50 BBY to 26 BBY, 0 BBY to 9 ABY, Explosives, TAW-8GP Combat Rifle, and Sweetums.

The following Other clans’ pages were updated: Arcona Fiction Hub, Arias Lewin, OathMaster, Ascendant Fleet, Ascendancy (Imperial I-class), ‎Formidable, Audacious, Template:PlagueisFleet, ‎Indefatigable, Implacable,‎ ‎Monitor, Anvil, Borath, Eris, Axios, Taldryan's Military, Clan Taldryan's Military, Taldryan Military Information, TalEx, Orthanc, Relentless (destroyer), Bastion (destroyer), Template:TalNavy, Taldryan Army/Archived, Taldryan Auxiliary Divisions, The Fall of Scepter, Obsidian Palace, ‎Ravager (corvette), Outcast, Wrath (Acclamator-class), Termagant, Flux Squadron, Vigilant, Dominant, Ambition (Consular-class), Kumori Training Center, Falger Mining Company, Phoenix Crest, Ballista (CR90 corvette), Solace (DP20 frigate), Scylla (DP20 frigate), A Nightmare Before Sithmas, Hell's Iris (Hammerhead corvette), Brigand (Raider II-class), Perdition (Raider II-class), Heretic (Raider II-class), Hunter (Raider II-class), Baron, The Empty Eyes, Calm Sea (GR-75 medium transport), Pacifica (GR-75 medium transport), Nebula Strider (GR-75 medium transport), Rebels and Ruins, Clan Scholae Palatinae History, Shroud Squadron, Absolution, 27's, Lost Tribe of Tarthos, Dajorran Health Insurance, Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae, Kyataru, Venku Range, Sundowner Wing, Leviathan, and Nighthawk (Carrack-class).

This is incredibly impressive not only for its sheer numbers but because of the breadth and depth of its impact across the club’s wiki pages. That said, I’d like to especially thank Essik Lyccane for his work on Odan-Urr pages and call out a few of them. First, his work on the ‘Desired One’ page, which was the feud object that was being fought over. I was unsure how to code it in the wiki properly and he stepped in to do that. Second, his work on ‘The Myrkr Crusade’ page, which was greatly appreciated during a very busy post feud grading. He even left room for growth so others can fill out the page as well. Lastly, all the other pages that aren’t always on the top of one’s mind but are important to maintain, like updates to past events and ‘The Scimitar of Lord Hoth’. Wiki work tracks our history and keeping it up to date is a lot of work. On behalf of Odan-urr, thank you for working so hard at it.

In short, Essik Lyccane has focused on DB wiki work to an exceptional degree. In addition, his activity was wonderful as well. Therefore I recommend that he receive an Amethyst Kukri. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put not only into Odan-Urr but into the rest of the DB as well. Congratulations!

We are once again proud to award Essik with another monumental award for his performance since his last recognition. Claiming a Scimitar competition win for the month of June and the current Scimitar holder he has a total of 94 competitions under his belt, he is very deserving of this award. Over the past few months, Essik has been awarded 7 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 53 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 8 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 4 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, and 3 Crescents with Emerald Stars. Additionally, he's earned 12 Clusters of Ice, 14 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Dark Side Scroll, and 1 Seal of Loyalty. On top of it all has a total of 5462 words of fiction, passed 1 Shadow Academy Course, and has served us well in the Clan as our Quaestor.

On top of all this, we would like to thank you for your contributions during the last war where you participated in 14 competitions.

There have been a lot of contributing elements within Odan-Urr's history, undoubtedly so, we are a Clan built upon a history of hardship, dedication, and rebuilding from the ground up several times over, through the years we've had many hands come and go, leaving indelible prints on the tapestry that defines who we are, a weaving fine elements throughout, helping craft and curate, and designing elements to exist in the background of our shared Galaxy, if only to make it feel a little more vibrant, which have ended up becoming a much more focal point of the community because of the amount of love and craftsmanship poured into them. Tarvitz, your contributions to making Odan-Urr what it is today, to helping drive it forward, and being a part of the ongoing community, even with life continuously pulling you away from general activity has been an inspiration.

Since your last award you've done much, taking part in 69 competitions of which 14 were containers, written 4,492 words over three fiction submissions, and earned yourself 3 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 23 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 6 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 4 Crescents with Emerald Stars, and another 9 Clusters of Ice.

You've joined the very Battle Team formed from a narrative faction you designed amongst COU's borders, the Templar Jensaarai, and offered to give Guidance to your new BTL as he learns not only the ropes of Clan Leadership, but the Lore behind the it as well, and have often given sage advice to many of our members. This Amethyst Kukri is a well deserved honor, not only in the experience earned from your day-to-day activities, but as a reminder of how you've helped carve the path ahead for all of Clan Odan-Urr.

Ever Onwards, Tarvitz.

This is an award I've had trouble beginning to wrap my hands around, I've been trying to put to words and totality everything we should be awarding Nikora (known by most as Tarvitz) for since I came back around Odan-Urr last year and I think I've finally gotten to a point where I can describe his list of the accomplishments, achievements, and developments for COU. Before I delve into these, I want to address just how much of a beneficial figure Tarvitz has been during my tenure, how much he has shaped the landscape of adjustments within Odan-Urr, and how much their input has been valued, from helping educate and track down specific instances of events, tracking items belonging to the Clan, understanding systems both new and old, and comprehending the political climate, both the fictional and actual of The Brotherhood old and new, even when there have been differences in perception. Where others have helped me piece together the day-to-day, Tarvitz's work has given me a comprehensive and functional understanding of the backbone of the history I lost during my years of absence from the community, the lost stories, the narratives, and the struggles the Clan has gone through during different periods.

This work doesn't just extend to me, however, they're one of the most prodigious wiki editors, with many Wikipedian of the Month awards under their belt, many of which come from updates to Odan-Urr articles, ranging from the simple errant grammar, historical checks, and faction clean-ups, to the creation of entire factions of ours including the Templar Jensaarai I mentioned in their last recommendation, a faction which serves as one of our very own Battle Teams now. And while real-world limitations and concerns may often limit their time, they've continued to divert and spend much of the time they do have on Brotherhood concerns, helping our newer members understand the comprehensive lore of Clan Odan-Urr where possible, without a complaint.

His continuous and concentrated efforts to teach and assist our newer members in understanding our history made him a prime candidate to replace the leadership of our now-defunct Proving Grounds Battle Team, to help integrate and teach our newest members while helping drive their initial engagement, knowing his current limits he gracefully turned down the position but offered to still assist in the endeavors where he was capable, and he has done so, frequently and gracefully, over the last several months.

Beyond just helping our newer members (and the Consul) Tarvitz has made himself the Odanite project coordinator, often jumping in to help anyone and everyone who has an idea, concept, or wiki page they need help developing, several times offering to take on the task so the Summit who had offered to help can focus on the larger projects we were currently committed to, others just to give himself something to do and help the community. His latest example of such work was helping design The Fang venue for the Antei Combat Center.

In all honestly, I feel up to this point I have failed to reward Tarvitz adequately for the amount of work he has put in for the amount of hats he has worn for us just in this last year. Wikipedian, teacher, historian, project coordinator, and designer, these would be the five I most frequently associate him with.

On top of this, he has continued to be an active member of the community, competing and placing in many competitions and driving other members of Odan-Urr to challenge him as he does so. Oftentimes directing his challenge when participation in a particular challenge is low with a kind of 'Rolling up my sleeves' mentality which challenges the others to dare and beat him, since he's going to have to do it and obviously no one can be better than him, often bringing more to the table to compete with him.

Ever onward, Tarvitz, no matter the challenge.
