Since the start of the year, Armags has amassed a staggering amount of personal awards: crescents, clusters, pendants of blood, this man has it all. However, these awards are only a minuscule part of his activity. Armags has been an absolute monster when it comes to the gaming side of things. Being one of the two members that is personally responsible for the renewed vigor experienced by our ToR-playing members. Armags had been actively and constructively utilizing his officer role in the Brotherhood guild to help members find their way in the game, whether by getting their characters up to speed and ready for end-game content or by gathering players together to tackle said end-game content. Mind you, he does this all on his own initiative with very little input from superiors. This independence and proactive attitude is a key point in the Brotherhood's "leaders of tomorrow". One could even say that Armags has become one of the central pillars of the ToR-guild, and that it would have probably have been shut down without his constant presence and helpful attitude.

Armags not only shows activity for his unit, but contributes to the club as a whole by being there as a guiding light for our gaming community, I feel that it is appropriate that we see Armags being awarded with a Steel Cross as a small token of our appreciation for his efforts.

Private words from Kazmir: Armags, it is always good to see a former apprentice flourish and become a pillar of our community. I am happy to have had a hand in your continued growth in this club, and I am proud that my name is associated with yours. Keep doing what you do.

Sadly, I'm always pretty bad at getting these recommendations out on time, and all too often they end up being seen as parting gifts. This award is not a parting gift. This is something that Armags earned time and time again in his time as Aedile of House Dinaari. Something that I always try to preach whenever someone asked me about leadership in the Brotherhood is to know your own limitations. Know your skill set, and know what you can and can't handle. Armags is an extremely busy man, and when Rax resigned from Quaestor, I asked Armags if he wanted to take over as Quaestor. Armags said he'd love to, but he didn't have the time to devote to the position. He turned down advancement in the DB, in his "career" for the good of the Clan.

Anyone who knows Armags knows that he's exactly that type of person. An unashamed gamer who had a penchant for supporting the poorer of the console gaming systems, he none the less had been working hard to become acquainted with the fictional side of the DB, because he knew how important it had become to the club. Armags worked outside of his comfort zone, while maintaining an excellend standard of activity. He was involved in the running of 15 competitions, and participated in twice that number. He was extremely active in gaming, earning over 600 gaming Clusters since his promotion, and also chalked up some crescents and pendants of blood along the way.

Unfortunately Armags recently had to resign his place as Aedile, and while I will miss having his skills and presence on Taldryan's summit, more than anything I will miss his honesty and integrity. Armags has always known what it meant to be a member of Taldryan, and Taldryan waits in great anticipation for his return.

In recognition of all his efforts for Taldryan, I hereby award Armags C'Hiesa a Steel Cross. Thank you Armags.
