Primary reason

Prelate Chaosrain Taldrya: Serving as Proconsul of the First Clan is a difficult and demanding task. Fortunately for Clan Taldryan and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole, Chaosrain Taldrya is more than up to the task. Leading by example, Chaos fought valiantly during the GJW. His dedication and effort ensured a 7th consecutive victory for Clan Taldryan and ensured another year of First Clan Status. For his service and leadership to Clan Taldryan and the Dark Brotherhood, I, Grand Master Sarin, award the Sapphire Blade to Prelate Chaosrain Taldrya. <br> <br> ******<br> <br> Chaos has been in Taldryan since I joined over a year ago, and has always been an active and involved member of his House and Clan. The longest serving Ektrosis Quaestor, Chaos has shown his worth over the years during his tenure. He stepped up to PCON recently, and has been doing a great job leading the Clan throughout the Seventh Great Jedi War. His dedication to Taldryan has not gone unnoticed, and Chaos' work ethic and willingness to better Taldryan are always a consistent sight in the Summit. Whether he's working on planet histories, writing an extremely rare report ( :P ), or reprimanding me for something I should know by now, Chaos is always there to help and better those around him.<br> <br> As I said before, Chaos has been a leader in Taldryan since I joined, and I wouldn't trade him for anyone else. Chaos has been *my leader for the majority of my time in the Brotherhood, and has always been someone I've respected and learned from immensely. He coached me as a Battleteam Leader in my pre-DJK days, as an AED when I wasn't even in the same House, and as a QUA over Ektrosis. I've had a lot to live up to in Ektrosis, and Chaos has left a lasting impression on Ektrosis through his solid leadership skills and motivation to always be doing something constructive (at least most of the time :P ). Because of his consistent and superior level of leadership in Clan Taldryan, I'm more than happy to be a former student awarding his teacher a Sapphire Blade. <br><br> Congratulations Chaos, you've earned this one. <br> +OT Sklib+ <br><br> Chaosrain, er, Chaos has been one outstanding leader in Taldryan since before I took Consul at the beginning of last year. His service to the Clan and House Ektrosis has been marvelous and countless. As Proconsul, Chaos has helped me with many website updates, emails to the Clan, given me input on the Clan Prospectus, and contributed to the leadership of the Clan during the long Seventh Great Jedi War. Within the War he actually managed to participate in many events from the Wargame, Fiction, Graphics, Poetry, the Run-on, taking placement points for playing RC, and JO/JA/JK ladder. Amazing work all around and well worth this award, Chaos, thanks for everything. <br><br> For Taldryan, <br> Obelisk Primarch Duga Taldrya Arkarso Consul and Son of Clan Taldryan Planetary Viceroy of Karufr, Regent of the Kr'Tal System

Primary reason

Chaosrain Taldrya is one of those members you don't hear much from but will always see being involved in something important – just as it was during the Dark Crusade. Chaos put a very strong mark in the Dark Crusade, outmatching and outscoring almost four fifth of every members from the Brotherhood. Though nine fifth of all events already make up an awesome performance, the quality of his submissions were where it comes to matters. Out of all the 29 Events Chaos has entered he has taken Novae in 8 of them home and thus ensured Taldryan's victory on more than one occasion.

Chaos' constant, reliability and dedication over the course of a Vendetta running almost a full year can't go unrecognized as can't his achievements.

Chaos, you have not only been one of the most most active member of Taldryan, taking part in 29 events throughout the Dark Crusade and earning 5 Gold Novae, 2 Silver Novae and 1 Bronze Novae. Such actions demands to be rewarded properly, and this request for a Sapphire Blade could not go for a more deserving member of Taldryan.

Additional reasons

The Sapphire Blade is awarded to a member who has shown consistent and long-term service to their Unit or Brotherhood position. Such services however cannot be seen until taken on a whole, each individual part seen as one. The Sapphire Blade can also be rewarded for extraordinary amounts of activity in a large-scale competition such as the Great Jedi War, where the very best are rewarded for their efforts.

The Dark Crusades supply us with a perhaps a unique venue for the awarding of the Sapphire Blade, because during the course of the Vendetta both of the criteria for awarding it can be realized. When it comes to consistent effort and dedication, very few people in the Dark Brotherhood can compete with Chaosrain Taldrya. His performance in the final round of the Dark Crusades helped propel Taldryan to victory on Dromund Kaas, and was fully indicative of his overall performance throughout the Crusades. There is little doubt in my mind that Chaos’ continued efforts was one of the keys to Taldryan placing third in the Vendetta.

His personal performance marks Chaos as one of the premiere performers in the Dark Brotherhood, placing in the 95th percentile of activity, his extraordinary amount of activity ensuring that he would participate in more events than all but 13 members in the entire club. On top of all that, Chaosrain Taldrya showed that he was also to be reckoned with as one of the most skilled members in the Brotherhood, earning a total of 8 Nova, which ranks him in the 90th percentile of all participating members, outperforming all but 19 members in the club.

Chaos’ performance in the Crusades was amazing, as was he. But his contributions to the Dark Crusades are possibly only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to quantifying his contributions to Taldryan over the past 6 months that I have been Aedile. There are very few people who are quite as willing to take up extra work that I have for them, and even fewer that only complain a little when I just drop projects on them. Chaosrain Taldrya is one of the few that fits both categories. I’ve always got a few projects or side projects going on, whether it be planning Taldryan’s fictional future, or working with Taldryan’s wikipedia articles, Chaos is one of the first to help me out. Though his name doesn’t get plastered on the articles or entries themselves, Chaos is one of my most trusted sounding boards. When I need a second set of eyes, or research done on a subject, Chaos is always willing to put in the extra effort to make sure I can get the projects I start finished. His fingerprints aren’t always the most visible, but there is not a single project that I have started or completed in my time as Aedile that Chaos has not significantly helped bring to completion.

As such, I am proud to recommend that he be rewarded for his efforts with a Sapphire Blade.
