General
2020 saw a shift in Tar Valon leadership, with two new Officers taking up jobs. Serinia Edoras was sworn in as the new Amyrlin Seat and Mieriana Souvra as new Keeper in April.
The Department of Moderators and Operators was disbanded as of the Fall 2020 Executive Meeting.
Based on people's feedback, and the lack of Real Life events during the year, a new set of merits was created and introduced. It recognises the work someone has put in towards hosting and/or attending Virtual Events - Virtual Events Merit.
