Lonewolf is the rarest sort of Journeyman - the kind you don’t have to push to meet their promotion requirements, because they so eagerly and effortlessly exceed them. Though he still has a week until he’s eligible for promotion, he has completed every requirement necessary for Knight status. However, I’m not here today to talk about how deserving he is of promotion. Instead, I want to recognize those things he has done above and beyond his promotion requirements. Since his last elevation only three weeks ago, Lonewolf has participated in four competitions, garnered three crescents for competition placements and written nearly 2000 words of fiction - earning him three Clusters of Ice. All of these are above and beyond the requirements for Knight. In addition, he took it upon himself to make vital contributions to Arcona’s wiki revamp, tediously going through the dossiers and Operations history of each member of Arcona to determine at which rank they fit into our Shadesworn program. In addition to his tangible activity, his consistent presence and excellence pushes those around him to do better and strive for more. We are truly lucky to have him in House Qel-Droma, and it is my pleasure to recommend him for a Dark Cross.

Congratulations, Lonewolf.
