It has always been a challenge to pick the right person for a Job on the DC. There's a need for so many things that it becomes more and more of a wishlist with each moment. We need someone who can work with the rest of the team, someone who has ideas and a vision for the way that things could be, the intelligence to draw a map on how to get there, and the work ethic to get to that point. It's now no surprise that Pravus (Sarin) has all of that. After he stepped down from DGM a few years ago due to real life, and took some time off from leading, there were several concerns about him coming back to the full time Big Show. Complaints about recycling leaders circulated. Concerns about his brash attitude surfaced. Forgotten to many was the man who could help to build a team of all-stars. Lost to most was the man who led from the trenches, getting his hands filthy to show the rest of the club how it was done.

I remembered. We needed him, even if not all of us knew it.

Pravus has been indispensible in the formation of crusade events. He has been the point man on crafting the backstory, filling in the details and the objectives from the sweeping broad strokes that Raken he and I worked out, from what sparse details were to be found in sourcebooks and on the wookieepedia. He dove into the grading like a madman, getting a huge amount of grading done before our already fast team has even had a chance to dig into it, helping draw down our turnaround time to utterly spoiled levels when compared to those 'good old days'. And that is just on the crusade, my insane idea of a massive vendetta. He's also run hard at the ACC rebuild, he's been working hard with us on building the next GJW, and on myriad other projects that i dare not whisper the names of for fear of delaying their release.

The Amethyst Kukri is awarded for outstanding service for a specific project. For his contributions to the success of the project, for the blood, sweat and tears he has poured into making my hare brained idea that almost killed us into something that many will talk about for years. For doing it even though he knows he can never get promoted again. For his love of the brotherhood.

At our level, that's what keeps us running so hard. Please accept this token from us, and our thanks. Your work means a lot to the Brotherhood, to the Dark Council, to me.

Thanks again,
