Event ID: 20912
Award: Emerald Dagger
Quantity: 1
Requested by: Jac Cotelin
Primary reason: As Grand Master, I always look for competent, self-driven and innovative leaders to help in the efforts of the Dark Council. In my time here I have been absolutely blessed to have a great series of DC members. Anshar Kahn is no exception to this. Since the day he was appointed to Praetor to the Headmaster through today where he serves with distinction as Headmaster, Anshar has been an amazing driving force in the Shadow Academy. Today, I gladly award him with an Emerald Dagger. Anshar has always impressed me with his quiet attention to detail and drive for excellence. As Headmaster, his job is often unseen by the older members of the Brotherhood, but the newest members appreciate it so much. Anshars efforts in leading the SA and overseeing the Society of Envoys is what keeps this club alive the new members he teaches are our lifeblood. Anshar constantly takes time to help the new members get accustomed to the DB without him many would be lost. Anshar has also expanded upon the Shadow Academy since taking over. We have seen a variety of new courses added to the site, and the staff works diligently as ever. Recently, the number of people that have passed exams since Anshar took office surpassed 1000, a great achievement indeed. The SA Site continues development and soon the whole Academy will have a new look. What I like most about Anshar is that he puts effort into making sure things are going in the right direction. He does not like the status quo and always pushes for more. He always has his EPs going back and revamping their courses. Things like the Big Envoy report, too, are essential for knowing how well the DB is doing. Anshar is a big asset to the DB I am grateful that he is on the Dark Council and working day in and day out to improve our club. Thank you for all that you do, Anshar. We appreciate you. Grand Master Jac Cotelin ___________________ What can be said about Anshar Kahn Tarentae that hasnt already been said? Anshar is the driving force behind all the recent improvement and expansion of the Shadow Academy. He is constantly looking for new ways for the Shadow Academy to reach out to the members of the Brotherhood. During his career in the Brotherhood hes served with distinction in many important posts; Consul of Tarentum, Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, and now Headmaster of the Brotherhood. With each new position came new challenges and he rose to the task and not only performed as he was expected, but went above and beyond and excelled in the positions. Anshar has a work ethic that Ive not seen duplicated by many members of the Brotherhood. He does his duty because he has a genuine desire to make the club a better place, not because he knows its a way to get more promotions or shiny little baubles to put in his medal case. His focus has always been improvement of the club for others, something I find very admirable. I believe wholeheartedly that Anshar deserves this award, for the Brotherhood is most definitely a better place in many areas due to his work. Please give this recommendation all due consideration and consider bestowing this esteemed award upon him. Dark Jedi Knight Kromtal Stormfyld SC/StA/DC/Cr-2S-1E/CF/LSS/SI

I remember seeing his name, first as an Envoy and then later when I became an EP under Spears. I have always found him to be thoughtful and respectful of everyone. This fellow gets things done, and I have seen the results of his hard work. The current advancement survey is a fine example. His work as KCB was outstanding. I saw constant emails, and things like the Clan Envoy challenges that awarded fictional vessels. Anshar has gone well beyond what one might expect from a Headmaster. The Shadow Academy is abuzz with activity. He truly deserves to be awarded for his strenuous efforts for the DB. SBM Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu-Goura (Sith)/FM-EP-T:DSC/Ludo Kressh of Naga Sadow, Alchemist, Dark Maven, Echani Master, Gladiator Prime DSC Tribune Fifth Caste of the Inner Order of CNS Quaestor Emeritus Free Envoy Black Guard of the Quaestor of Ludo Kressh Keibatsu Samurai and General Anshar is by far a capable leader and friend. It pleases me to know of him and to know him. I feel that his abilities more than merit an Emerald Dagger. In this matter, my utmost support is given. Signed this day July 5th of year 2006 Krath Priestess Sylvana Katase Ever since Anshar took over Spear's former position as Headmaster of the Shadow Academy, he knew that he would have to live up to the high standards members were setting for him. Even though he's from Tarentum (:P), he has done a wonderful job making sure that new members are moving along in the halls of the Shadow Academy as well as talking with the EPs, making sure that jobs are being done and taking any suggestions extremely well. Anshar's enthusiasm and great work ethic have truly made the Shadow Academy Staff and the Society of Envoys work extremely hard to get new members involved and interested. He has done an incredible job trying to boost new member's interests to get them through the ranks by helping the Envoys get their jobs done in a more efficient and timely manner. Although the Envoys are no longer under his direct control, he still keeps in touch with us, offering suggestions if needed and supervising Siyavash's work. I wholeheartedly believe that he deserves such an award as an Emerald Dagger. Obelisk Templar RevengeX Palpatine The award criterion for the Emerald Dagger is reserved for members who have: "contributed to the growth and functionality of their Order or the Brotherhood as a whole in the form of competitions or activities." It is my humble opinion that Anshar has fully met the standard for this award during his tenure at the head of the Shadow Academy. Anshar has encouraged the continuing growth of that venerable institution in several ways: by incorporating his staff in decisions of policy; by encouraging the expansion of the current curriculum; and the sponsorship of Envoy competitions. Sith Warrior Sato Bruth'Kothae Dark Maven, Aedile of Gladius, Ecclectic Pedagouge: The Test of Wisdom, SB / GC / SC-SoA / StA-LS / DC-KC-O-CS / Cr-3S-1E-5T / LSS / SI-SoW-SoL / SoL / S:-1Al I usually am not the man to be writing speeches or other things of the sort. But when I look at all the work done by our beloved Headmaster I know nobody deserves this more than him. He is, according to me, one of the most hardworking and dedicated members of the brotherhood. In my opinion Dark Side Adept Anshar Kahn Tarentae deserves an Emerald Dagger for all the hard work he has done for the Shadow Academy and for the brotherhood at large. JH Ood Bnar (Krath)/TYR-EP/Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae [ACC: CL:1] PIN: 3317 Award of 'Emerald Dagger' Anshar Kahn Tarentae (308) What cannot be said about Anshar that everyone already knows or have previously stated? Here is an individual that has revolutionized (and still keeps an eye on it) the Knight's Society of Envoys, willingly took over as Consul of Tarentum - only to give up the position to assume the mantle of HeadMaster. Each of these positions requires excessive work, dedication and 'fresh' thinking from outside the box. Sadly, we are no longer wowed when he dazzles us - simply because we now expect great things from him as the norm. So as a reward for the Brotherhood Advancement Reports, an excellent track record as Knight Commander, Consul and now Head Master - I fully endorse this recommendation. KAP Braecen Kunar Anshar Kahn Tarentae was my Consul when I joined the DB. From that day I have respected and looked up to him as the epitome of selfless hard work. In every position he has had, that I've encountered him, he has done his absolute best to make sure that what he is doing is for the best of the members. Not to get noticed, promoted or "shiny'd" like so many others, but simply because he believes that the members come first. As the HM, he is now the solid base upon which the Shadow Academy stands. He always has the patience to explain things to me, something for which I am extremely grateful. I have a tendency to annoy people with all the questions I can come up with, but he has never gotten frustrated or even given me short answers. I know that if I get stuck, he'll be there to help (and fix whatever it is that I've messed up). He has the rare ability to make you feel like you are the most important person in the world when he talks to you. That is how much time he spends on making sure that the members are happy. The one thing that I believe all leaders should have, but most don't, is patience and a tenacity to carry on, no matter what opposition you receive. Anshar accepts input from others, not shooting down opinions no matter how bad they might be, without losing his own ground in the process. He doesn't just blindly follow whatever is deemed as popular opinion, he takes the time to evaluate the pro's and con's of every decision he makes. As such he listens to every person, evaluating what they have to say without judgment and even without resentment if you challenge his views. As HM he has taken to revamping the SA, giving it a fictional background and by the sounds of it, a new website that will rock. That is something I greatly appreciate. I love the SA, but it has received a lot of negative hype because of the auto-promotions. Anshar has taken it upon himself to fix the negative image and give something back to the members that they can be proud of again. Anshar deserves this award for his dedication, hard work and all the unnoticed little things he has done behind the scenes since taking up the reigns as HM. DJK Selene #6694 I've known and worked with Anshar for nearly two years now on many different levels. First of all I was his Aedile in House Gladius of Tarentum, then as his Proconsul in Tarentum and now as one of the many EPs who serve under him to welcome, introduce and train members new to this institution. Over these years of service I have come to harbour a deep respect and I would hope friendship with this great man. His dedication to those he has been elected to serve his legendary, he'll go out of his way to make anyone feel welcome and appreciated, a trait that no doubt serves him well as the public face of an institution such as the Shadow Academy. He is a man of many ideas with grand plans and projects he strives to bring to fruition, I've seen this happen in Gladius, I've seen it happen under his Consularship and with the projects he has been instituting in the Academy, the revamp of the CORE courses, the expansion of the fictional aspects of the courses and supervising the redevelopment of the site. As long as I have known him his one aspiration has been to become the Headmaster of the Shadow Academy and it's great to see a person who has reached his desired position and to keep working for it. Anshar will never take a position for granted and will continue to strive for perfection. I can't think of anyone more deserving of this award. Congratulations Anshar. SBL Welshman Corsair Tarentae Since Anshar took over his office, he has done amazing things and doesn't seem to want to stop doing them. The Character History Guidelines, course improvements including the currently running project to make the courses sound more fiction like and the redesign work are just some of those things. I could probably write up a whole page, but I am sure others will do that already, so I'll just say i believe Anshar has fully earned an Emerald Dagger. DJM Arania Lawakiro
