Greetings all,

Today, the Deputy Grand Master and I are pleased to announce a number of awards for our most prominent members: two Consuls, three Dark Councilors, and a former member of the Star Chamber. In total, their efforts have made our club a much better place for all of us over the last several years, and we are incredibly grateful for their efforts. Here, I will briefly highlight their awards, but please do check out the full recommendations for each and join us in congratulating them in the comments below!

First, we would like to recognize one of our longest serving Consuls, Elincia Rei. Elincia has served our Brotherhood admirably for many years, including more than a year most recently as Consul, and has been a pillar of activity and engagement in Clan Scholae Palatinae through three years of continual service on the summit of CSP. More than that, Eli's attitude towards the wider Brotherhood is exemplary, and his handling of numerous difficult situations in his unit and across the club are exemplary. Thus, Vyr and I are extremely pleased to elevate Elincia Rei to the ranks of the Elders of our club with a promotion to Adept.

One of our rarest sacramental awards, the Diamond Sword, is given only to our most distinguished members. This award is reserved for leaders whose work has shaped our club significantly, and few have done more in that regard than Marick Tyris, Wally to most of us. Thus, Vyr and I are pleased to award Wally with a Diamond Sword!

Being Fist may be one of the hardest roles on the Dark Council, or at least the most thankless. Gaming has been integral to our club for years, but as we grow more and more distant from the relevancy of Star Wars games to our club, it becomes more difficult and challenging on our gaming leaders. Dracaryis has risen to that challenge, implementing policies designed to increase transparency in the addition of new games, innovate our gaming structures, and improve the gaming experiences of all members. For this, among other reasons, Drac has been awarded an Emerald Dagger!

Our Masters are our most recognizable, active, and contributing members. Their efforts have made the Brotherhood a better place for years to come. Those achieving this rank have served tirelessly for years, seeking only to make our club a better place for all members. And, few members have contributed more over the last four years than Dacien "BubbaX" Vitae, our Justicar. Dacien is both an excellent Justicar and an incredible advisor. Thus, we are pleased to elevate Bubba to the rank of Dark Jedi Master!

For her work as Proconsul, and as my Magistrate for nearly a year, Arch and I are pleased to award Aura, aka Blade, an Amethyst Kukri! Blade's contributions to my office focused on collecting extensive data on the Rollmaster position, and as Proconsul, Blade helped leader Odan-Urr to a successful Vendetta win and in many other ways.

And finally, the Star Chamber has awarded Darth Aeternus for his extensive service to the Brotherhood over the course of two years. As a member of the Star Chamber, Korras weighed in on every major decision the club has made over the last two years, and thus the Star Chamber wished to recognize Korras' efforts with an Amethyst Kukri!

Please join us in congratulating the above leaders for their contributions to our club!
