Ka Tarvitz has been an exceptional member of Odan-Urr for quite some time. In terms of pure activity he has been a consistent and solid rock for House Hoth, whether it be large scale events (GJW, RoS, Clan) or normal everyday events. Since his last recognition in march, he has participated in 76 competitions, all of which are a wide variety of types. Simply put, he does whatever is needed to help the clan regardless of type, something that we greatly appreciate. Whilst doing these competitions he racked up an impressive tally of awards. They include the following: 2 Gold Nova, 24 Seals of Fury, 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 4 Crescents with Ruby Star, 13 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 9 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 4 Crescents with Topaz Star, 91 Clusters of Fire, 86 Clusters of Ice, and 32 Clusters of Graphite. Note that if you add up these awards for placement, Tarvitz has placed in a staggering 34/76 competitions. Even more impressive, he had full participation during the recent Rite of Supremacy and worked extra hard to acquire 2 Gold Nova, beating out the rest of the Dark Brotherhood.

In addition to his competitions, he has completed a number of other diverse activities. He has completed 3 PvP matches, 7 PvE matches, 1 ACC battle, 17 fiction activities, 33319 words of fiction, 9033 words for run on posts, 6 shadow academy courses, and 18 news post comments. Besides numbers, which are quite impressive by themselves, it’s important to note that they tell a story of a member who has done almost everything he can do to support Odan-Urr. He’s been there for every event, hit every bin, answered every call for increased activity, and put forth 200% for any events solidly in his skill zone. That’s exaggeration but if you’ve ever worked on a team with him you’ll know why I used that number. From the Rite of Supremacy example, he already had several pages worth of well thought out draft material for a competition that asked for very few. If you’ve ever seen his battleplans, their detail and complexity are legendary and more often than always place high, if not first place. He’s never merely content to do the bare minimum but instead uses the vast depth of his Star Wars knowledge in its fullness to present the best possible strategies. Last example for now, though there are certainly more, he once put together and painted a model ship for an art competition in exquisite detail. He could have simply opened notepad and doodled but instead he chose to painstakingly paint and construct small pieces with accuracy and dedication to final product that few can rival.

Lastly, Tarvitz does more for his clan than simply numbers of competition submissions. I’d like to point out a few and leave the rest for my fellow clan leaders below. First and foremost, Tarvitz is an excellent helper to his fellow clanmates. He is whatever we need him to be. At times he has been a wonderful cheerleader, prompting his fellow clanmates to participate more in both the recent GJW and the Rite of Supremacy. He readily helped his fellow clanmates with any questions or concerns they might have on competitions or official events. This also took the form of much needed Star Wars advice, such as which ships to pick or lightsaber forms or historical knowledge on past events (clan lore, SW lore). Tarvitz also helped willingly, to the full breadth of his knowledge, and unless time prevented him from doing so with his full dedication. None of this should be taken lightly. On behalf on Odan-Urr and the help he has offered myself, we are greatly indebted to his advice and assistance. Secondly, Tarvitz has always actively engaged in the Odan-Urr community. Whenever I’ve hosted Cards against Humanity events or related ones he almost always showed up, even if the time wasn’t the most convenient. Whenever clan fiction questions were brought up, he would would take the time to answer them.

In short, Tarvitz is a great multi-faced asset for the clan. I haven’t listed everything or it would go on for several pages so I’ll let you read it in more readable chunks below. Based on everything above and below, I highly recommend that Ka Tarvitz receive a Sapphire Blade for his service, dedication, and achievements. My friend, you more than deserve it.

Essik Lyccane is a pillar of both House Sunrider as well as Battle Team Tython Squadron. He is always ready to respond when you need him, on every server the club uses. Essik has participated in 48 competitions, organized 2 of his own unprompted, is an active member of our community events participating in 10 events ranging from roleplay to gaming. While doing this, he earned three Crescents with Ruby Star, four Crescents with Amethyst Star, two Crescents with Sapphire Star, two Crescents with Emerald Star, two Pendants of Blood, five Clusters of Fire, sixty-two Clusters of Ice, twenty-six Clusters of Earth, thirty-four Clusters of Graphite, one Seal of Loyalty, twenty-five Seals of Vision, one Scroll of the Master, two Gold Novae, two Silver Novae, one Bronze Novae.

Since joining Tython Squadron, Essik has been a godsend in helping keep the storyline active, with reliable run-on posts and actively joining our discussion for where the team goes next. In addition, he has written 22852 words of fiction in ten fiction activities.

One of his most frequent and significant, contributions, however, is that he is one of the most active editors of our wiki pages I’ve ever met keeping Odan-Urr’s pages up to date and accurate, so that we all have that information at our fingertips, providing a key service to the clan. Since his last recognition in April, Essik has performed 530 picture category/tag updates for the entire club. He’s also updated the pages on the Severian Principate, Tenixir Revenants, Starblade Hangar, TAW-6A Autopistol, Valheru, Shi, Kaiburr (Planet), Explosives, for 241 words. He also performed 15 Minor edits to Clan Odan-Urr History, House Satele Shan, Vauzem Dominion, Vatali Unsettled, House Sunrider, Trepus Mine, and Major edits: Clan Odan-Urr History, House Sunrider, Quorahi, Kiast (Planet), Vauzem Dominion, Vatali Unsettled, Trepus Mine for 8081 words.

Essik Lycane has proven himself an invaluable part of our Clan, and for these reasons the Summit has seen fit to award him with a Sapphire Blade. Well done, Lieutenant. Thank you for your service.

Essik is a consistent powerhouse when it comes to this club. His behind-the-scenes work, which he does without anyone asking is unmatched. His most recent endeavor, taking it upon himself to backup all of the COU stories and content from discourse without even being asked. He saw the importance in salvaging over 10 years worth of work and wanted to preserve this history. This speaks of his mentality when going into projects, many of which he gives himself. His interests are in what's best for this club and his Clan. You would be hard-pressed to find someone more passionate and concerned with the overall well being of this club. This is one of the main reasons I hired him as my Aedile. Just in the month that he has been back in a leadership position he has helped me organize a parent competition, created three competitions, has helped me in the back end with tracking membership progress, is helping me develop a new Storyline for the HGC, and is currently running our House RO on Discord where he can always be found dropping messages to stir activity and pushing to maintain our community vibe (so far producing 622 words in addition to the staggering 16352 words he's written for various competitions).

But his achievements extend beyond the Clan as well. Essik was recently awarded 1 Anteian and 1 Steel Cross for proofing page after page of new item prototypes after he noticed a few discrepancies. He took it upon himself to ensure the items would roll out without a hitch. Additionally, and one of the things he is known the most for, are his Wiki contributions. Since his last award he received 4 Dark Side Scrolls for being Wikipedian of the Month for October '21, November '21, January '22 and March '22 with a combined 154 edits and 10744 overall words.

Essik has also participated in 80 competitions and has earned, 3 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 14 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 19 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 9 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 6 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 2 Crescents with Topaz Stars, and 1 Crescent with Quartz Star. He also has 34 Clusters of Ice and 102 Clusters of Graphite.

A good friend, a hard worker, and an earner/big brother to the Clan, Essik is a shining example of what it means to do work because it needs to be done over working for recognition. I am honored to write this recommendation and know that he will continue to do what he does best, being awesome!

My lord, what can I say about Essik?

The man is a workhorse who diligently works behind the scenes and is consistently earning Wikipedian of the month for his work on articles. Where some sit back and complain about doing work. This is what Essik does for fun, because to him, it’s something that needs to be done. This act is greatly appreciated and a task he takes on himself without anyone asking him to do it. On top of this, he remains one of Clan Odan-Urr’s elites in terms of overall activity. Since his last recognition he has participated in 36 competitions earning - 15 Crescent with Ruby Stars, 4 Crescent with Amethyst Stars, 5 Crescent with Sapphire Stars, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 7 Clusters of Ice, 2 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Darkside Scroll, 1 Scroll of Foundation, and 14 Seals of Transcendence. He has also written 3360 words of fiction. It is my honor to award him with yet another sacramental award to further encourage and thank him for his service and dedication. Well done, my friend!
