Terran Koul has earned 5125 medal xp for a Sapphire Blade! Since his last award, he has ranked up four times in the Antei Combat Center as a Judge with the release of the new ACC society. Those matches he graded weren't the only thing now earning a set value, there’s quite a list of accomplishments that prior to the XP system their worth wasn’t quantified — like clusters. Terran has earned 4,177 Clusters of Fire in gaming, 126 Clusters of Ice in Fiction, and even 36 Clusters of Graphite. His gaming efforts included securing 18 Pendants of Blood. And he’s certainly made a mark as a seasoned vendetta player, earning a total of 112 vendetta seals since joining the Brotherhood. The man was awarded 2 Dark Side Scrolls, 1 Scroll of Indoctrination, 2 Scrolls of the Master, and 4 Legions of the Scholar. And he’s done so much more, activities that had contributed to past awards and promotions, all recorded on his dossier.

When I joined the Brotherhood and Arcona, I found myself in House Qel-Droma while Terran was Aedile. He, along with others, saw leadership potential in me and encouraged me to apply for Shadow Gate’s Battleteam Sergeant, which spurred my path in djb leadership. He helped guide and teach me the ropes, how to write reports, run competitions and events, evaluate member’s activity for awards(I still remember often the key for comps/awards worth broken down in points, how it seemed like a precursor to xp system, a little sanity check). Terran helped not only to facilitate and direct Qel-Droma’s fictional story but also Arcona’s, aiding alongside Atyiru/Ruka with the Sins of the Past event that spanned multiple years. He went from Aedile to Quaestor to Proconsul for through the last 8 years, all while being Magistrate to the Seneschal.

With our further ado, Congratulations, Terran Koul, on your Sapphire Blade!

Returning to our midst in our time of need like an avenger from the dark or a fabled hero of yore, Terran Koul aided Clan Arcona (and House Qel-Droma) to victory in the recent GJW XVI. Applying his skills to gather a total of 7 Seals of Transcendence (and tracing on his boot soles a Cluster of Earth), he displayed the old maxim of working smarter, not harder. For by strategically placing his efforts among seven different competitions of seven different “buckets”, he managed to accrue a 7/9 completion rate and maxed out both Phases 1 and 2!

A remarkable feat for a returning member and one for which I am happy to recommend he be awarded a Steel Cross!

Since his last recogntion, Terran “Vic” Koul has been a steady pillar of Arcona’s Arconae, serving the Clan as Aedile, Quaestor, and Proconsul for a total of over two years. In addition, his service has been to the Club as a whole, with over 5(!) years of Magistrate work for the Senechal. He has worked tirelessly for our benefit, but also as an individual, with 25 (co-)organized comps and 83 participations, for which he’s earned 843 Clusters of varying kinds and a palette of Crescents as well.

As an extra note, it should be mentioned that most of the organized competitions came from running two episodes of Clan Arcona’s “Sins of the Past” -storyline. In addition to the mere competitions themselves, he was thus responsible for organizing the plotline and co(ercing)-ordinating the efforts of multiple writers to craft a singular storyline.

Whenever Arcona has gone to War, Terran has been there for us, earning 39 Seals from the last four Vendettas alongside 4 Novae for his stellar performance. It thus cannot be said he hasn’t been giving it his all when the Clan needed him the most.

During the past while that he has been working for Arcona, Vic has truly been a fundamental force for the Clan, and especially House Qel-Droma. For a fact, we still use the Activity Tracking sheet which he pioneered, helping us to keep track of our members’ activities and working them towards Awards and Promotions.

Further, he drafted a training document (Responsibilities and Expectations for Summit Positions) to help with the teaching of new leaders, aiding in the immensely important task of legacy planning. He was also creating a Rollmaster’s Guide, further showing his commitment to institutionalizing formal leadership documentation, even if the position is of now getting mothballed.

In his tasks in Clan leadership, Terran has offered invaluable insight in forming the AEF/DDF into its current shape, his deep knowledge in all things Fleet related having always been at our disposal. His leadership style encouraged subordinate activity and responsibility, giving independent tasks for people to use their own creativity to accomplish—in accordance with the best tenants of delegation. Indeed, he spent the last six months of his tenure as Quaestor making sure his Aedile and BTL were up to the task of replacing him, showing his dedication to longevity of both House and Clan.

In the trenches of the Wiki Wars, he oversaw the Arcona Article Improvement Program. There, he oversaw, coordinated, approved and made suggestions on everything Arcona wiki related for close to a year and a half. As a massive part of the previous, he revised and organized the Clan's personal timeline, summarizing major events and laid them out for ease of access to the newbies. The sheer amount of long-beard consulting, email un-dusting, and lost holocron hunting that was required for this task beggars belief…

For all of these efforts, and the daily ones which so often slip through the cracks, I am honored to recommend Terran be awarded an Amethyst Khukuri as recognition of his service to House and Clan.
