There is little that I can't say about Alaisy that wouldn't speak to the efforts and contributions that she has contributed to Taldryan both since her arrival as well as her eager appointment as my Magistrate. From the very first moments, she reminded me of myself when I joined Taldryan and became a Quaestor; always eager to push the story, develop our lore, and get her little non-ewok hands all over everything she could even if that took away from things that myself or the Pecan could do leaving us with naught but crumbs.

Just in this last quarter, she has completed a staggering 256 competitions while organizing 44, and co-organizing 4 of those; bringing in from that 115 (!) Crescents, 5 Clusters of Fire, 128 Clusters of Ice, 108 Clusters of Graphite, 17 society rank-ups, and contributing nearly 1.5 million in credits for us. Which in a three month span is an IMPRESSIVE endeavor.

In her spare time when she isnt doing competitions, she spear-headed the Fortress Cloudhaven Roleplay with myself as a backup in case she needed it but unsurprisingly ended up not, orchestrating and running the story over two massive sessions spanning well over the end of the event due to its popularity and the random needed improv when things would start to go off the rails. Since then, she has been diving head-first into the Dalicron Prelude; Sins of an Empire, and the following Phase 1 development due out later this year. Where Meleu has been backbone focusing the worlds and environments, she has been the architect behind the lead organizations and groups that will be further defining and fleshing out those creations. Anders, as the one who worked with her on those, went into more detail so I won't touch on them as directly.

She has also been working on NPCs for both campaigns, updating our NPC rosters, characters, and upcoming for release; revised population count numbers to account for expansion with Dalicron refugees and the raising of the Caelus system to a major population center in the outer rim. This also includes numerous expansions on our capital world of Kasiya itself, where she has actively been working on fleshing things out even further than they had already been with incredible detail; both through RPs as a participant in her role as Governor, as well as district-focused work during the RPs ran by our Emissary Erinyes that saw members of nearly all the Clans visit Port Kasiya itself.

Not even just that, but her discord presence each and every day like clockwork has been the highest out of the entire summit; rivaling that of even Discord addict Anders, helping to make sure that the summit is constantly visible both for our members in terms of social engagement, as well as to the brotherhood at large. Even those who aren't our members, she gladly socializes with and helps when they have questions or need help. Her efforts easily ensure that we have a warm and welcoming environment for all members of the Brotherhood, which is something I am proud to see.

For everything you have done over this last quarter, I want to extend this very special thank you Alaisy in the form of a Ruby Scepter. You truly help define Taldryan, both in name and our ideals, as well as what it means to be one of us. You've earned this easily.

Thank you Alaisy.

So, here's a funny story. When we were going over the award review, we get down to Alaisy and discover that in the space of a few short months, she has nearly acquired all the XP necessary for a Ruby Scepter. This, did not surprise us.

Since she arrived in Taldryan, Alaisy has been a hurricane of never-ending activity. Whether that be competition participation or hosting, engaging in the various #TalQuestions, or working on the summit, Alaisy has made herself at home in Taldryan and we couldn't be happier to have her with us, not for her skillset (of which there are many. I'm not jealous. Nope.) But because of who she is as a person and a member of the Club. Yes, her character is a highly dangerous Sith, but OOC, she's approachable , kind, and always willing to help.

I know Cassandra/Teebs is covering the majority of Alaisy’s activity, so instead, I'll cover the work she did with me in regards to the Taldryan Storyline. Alaisy worked with me to help design the various sub factions/groups for the Dalicron Campaign. Infusing, but nor limited to;

The A.F.A (Aliens For Acceptance)

The Anti-Human League

The Rodian Lidgo Works

The Dalicron Banking Clan.

The Ithorian Animal Group

And the Dalicron Excavation Conglomerate, all of which will be featuring in the upcoming Taldryan Storyline.

Alaisy is well deserving of a Ruby Scepter, and I couldn't be happier to offer some words for her award recommendation. Congratulations, Alaisy! I can oy imagine the evil shenanigans you may or may not commit with it!

Staff Work

Since joining the Herald's staff as Praetor, Alaisy has completed 2 GMRG items, 1 robe as part of a two person team, and 5 possession icons, generating a total of 9 website images. She has also assisted members in uploading and setting up their own work on the website. She created the resources for the new Lightwhip saber effect used by the Herald staff and made available to the membership in the Herald Resources.

Interim Herald

Within days of taking on the role of Praetor, Alaisy was thrust into the spotlight as “interim” Herald while I was forced to take an unplanned LoA. Over the course of two months, Alaisy liaised with me on office matters, coordinated workload within the office ensuring member and DC requests were met in a timely manner, answered questions from both staff and membership, and made on-the-spot decisions where policies left room for interpretation. She helped the new Headmaster for an art project. She also covered the departure of two staff members during my absence and was involved in coordinating the ensuing recruitment process.

Warbanner 3.2.1

Alaisy worked with me to review and fix outstanding issues with the warbanner system and update its companion wiki page. This includes software compatibility issues, missing elements, folder hierarchy and improved visuals. Alaisy poured over and reorganized dozens of folders, reviewed compatibility with various software such as Clip Studio Paint, Krita, and Photoea, and relayed her findings. She replaced missing elements with new art. She gave the file an improved coat of paint, adding new lighting effects to the tassets, rails and the medallion. The work she did on this project allowed us to offer improved visual quality and ensure superior compatibility between software.

Thank You!

What can I say? Alaisy is, as always, a powerhouse of activity and a pivotal member in this club. Her involvement in the Herald’s office is a blessing I am grateful for each day. She has proven herself to be an incomparable partner in crime and only reaffirms her impressive artistic talents each and every time she picks up her proverbial brush.

Please accept your new medal as a deep, heartfelt appreciation of your services to this club and the Herald’s office.

In the last 3 months, Alaisy has not been sitting still. She’s managed to participate in 307 competitions. This earned her 259 Crescents (67 Diamond, 75 Ruby, 75 Amethyst, 39 Sapphire, 2 Emerald, & 1 Topaz). Alaisy has also earned 4 Clusters of Fire for gaming and 17 Clusters of Ice, having written 7.887 words. She’s also participated in 3 RP sessions and organized another 3 more. She has also managed to elevate her rank across the various societies 4 times.

However, as always, Alaisy has been thriving in her artwork. Spread out across 26 graphics competitions, she’s managed to collect 176 Clusters of Graphite.

Alaisy is a constant within the Clan. She’s always in the list of participants for any competition you end up hosting, always willing to offer advice and feedback when requested. In this regard I am adding on 750 in non-site experience for the simple fact that her well thought out points and remarks in regards to several pressing Clan issues, have been of significant influence in determining the best way forward as a Unit. She’s a social constant for the Clan on Discord, the first to laugh at a funny picture or wordplay. Her presence and overarching advising and mentoring of newer members is truly something to watch (and it’s adding another 500 non-site xp for the various interactions of such a nature she’s had since I joined Taldryan.

Alaisy, you’ve toTALly earned this if I’m bruTALly honest. Keep up the good work and I’ll end up writing you another recc before too long!
