The Diamond Sword is awarded to members of the Dark Brotherhood who have become pillars or institutions within our club. These members have transformed from Elders of Clans and become synonymous with their participation in long term projects or service within a position on the Dark Council. It is this transformation from member to institution that garners Korras my recommendation for the Diamond Sword The name Korras and the position of Master at Arms have become synonymous. Timely, stringent, fair, and hard working describe Korras and his reign on the Dark Council. The Master at Arms is a greatly under-appreciated position with thousands of emails each month relating to the awarding of medals and ranks within our club. Korras has handled this task with an easy going attitude and the ability to mentor our leaders on writing excellent recommendations. For his hard work and dedication I highly recommend Korras for the Diamond Sword!

The role of Master-At-Arms requires one to provide a balanced perspective on members and to make sure that the proper amount of activity reflects the award given to members. This is no easy task when different activities may require more time and energy than others or members have been rewarded for previous tasks. In regards to Korras, his knowledge of the job is without equal and he has been more than helpful to provide his knoweldge to those who seek it. He has been essencial to ensuring MAA policies are enforced and instructing leadership with determining proper rewarding for member activity. For his mentorship and devotion to his work in the Dark Council, I am honored to recommend Korras with a Diamond Sword. Congratulations!

Korras. What's there to say about Korras that's not being said already in this recommendation? He's a f***ing badass. I can't say enough great things about him, if I ever need an opinion about things for gamin or in general, he's there. I can't thank him enough for being around when I need him. He and his staff have kept promotion and medal requests to under 24 hours, and has completed several AWOL checks during his time as MAA, a few were he had to do manually. Korras, you're a superhuman as the MAA and I'm happy to recommend you for this. Congrats bud!

Korras was one of the first real friends I had made in this organization. He was always just one step above me... when I was a tetrarch, he was Aedile. When I was Aedile, he was Quaestor. When he was Proconsul, I was Quaestor. It wasn't until after the Order leaders vanished that I caught up to him, and by then, he had decided to go be consul again. He's always been a good friend, helping me through a divorce and helping me see other people's points of view. Even now, he's a bigger expert on awards than I could be. He's always been there to help me make difficult decisions in the running of the club, and last year, when he had told me of impending real life stuff that could drag him away from us, I was pretty depressed about it. He helps drive consistency and standards in the Brotherhood, and catches more than his fair share of abuse because of it. His hand is felt pretty much everywhere in the organization, and I am frankly running out of things to say and awards to lavish on him (and still keep something back so I can bribe him to stay with us). We're going to need more rewards. In the meantime, please accept this Diamond Sword. You've more than earned it.
