Event ID: 147407
Target: Celahir Erinos Arconae
Award: Grand Cross
Quantity: 1
Requested by: Master Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir
Primary reason: I am honored to write the recommendation of Celahir Erinos Arconae for a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. He has demonstrated the leadership, accountability, and dedication that this award requires.

We both returned to active status at the same time last Summer. As his Quaestor, I was amazed at how - as a member - he manhandled both House and Clan politics. Donny & I quickly decided to put him to work as a Battle Team Leader where he drove our Gaming culture and content through Arcona Gaming Dominance (AGD) and our Jedi Academy Free-For-Alls. Through his dedication for learning Server commands, rallying people in House Chats, and helping our new (and some of our old) members get on… we’ve crushed Gorefest Weekends (literally thousands of CFs as a Clan), AGD (16 events, double digit participants; since his last merit), and the GMRG Leaderboard (7 of 9 Q1, 8 of 9 Q2).

As an individual, he has participated in 57 competitions, (co)Organized 17 competitions, submitted 39 PvP Matches, logged 40 PvE Activities, penned 1 Fiction Activity (595 words!), and passed 2 Shadow Academy courses. He has also collected 16 Crescents (1 Cr-D, 6 Cr-A, 5 Cr-S, 4 Cr-E), 1 Pendant of Blood, 909 Clusters of Fire, 1 Clusters of Ice, 88 Clusters of Earth, 1 Legion of the Scholar, and 1 Scroll of Indoctrination. He also served faithfully as a Battle Team Leader under me for 2 months; helping pave the way for the retirement of Soulfire and laying the groundwork for what would become Tal’mahe’Ra. As a Quaestor, he worked diligently to write medal recommendations for his members, audit/catalogue their activity, and administer his House (hired a BTL, individual e-mails to inactive members, etc).

His strong presence, calm nature, and desire to do for others saw him rise to the rank of Quaestor in Qel-Droma where I was honored to name him my peer leader and partner in the Clan. From here, he continued to drive content (AGD), participate (like a boss!), and help establish a new operating model for Arcona that puts our members (not just the leaders) in control of the content and direction of the Houses and Clan. This was achieved by leveraging the Battle Team Leaders to take on clan-wide responsibilities and, effectively, promoting every member of a Battle Team to the ‘role’ of Battle Team Sergeant (where they were responsible for the progression of the BT’s fiction, competitions, and communication). We have already seen members - Xenna, Riverche, Tamashi, Kharoc, Rins’zler, Zujenia and Livana - leap forward to create content and drive the clan, something that could not have been done without Celahir’s assistance and shaping of this model.

Thank you for both the individual activity and leadership over the past five months!

Quaestor of Galeres

Additional reasons: Celahir, or as nearly everyone knows him, Irfan, has become a rock upon which the Summit leans. He has been anything and everything we have needed of him he dutifully in the role of Battleteam Leader to Arcona’s oldest standing Battleteam, Soulfire. In this role he not only embraced the changes made within House Galeres, but also assisted with the transition of Soulfire to a Legendary Unit as a new Battleteam was designed for House Galeres upon his departure.

He also has continued to encourage activity within the entirety of the Clan, never wavering in his dedication, showing this by running an extremely successful eight weeks of Arcona Gaming Dominance. Irfan has succeeded in taking a small gaming competition built primarily for Galeres and expanding it to the entirety of the Clan as well as building upon the former mold. This dedication to taking current processes and building them to be better and more efficient is seen in everything Irfan does. On a daily basis he assists his Summit with development of tools and resources, custom trackers, new tips or tricks in email management, review of member activity, and more. You name it and he can likely design something for it.

Beyond just his desire to help ease the use of various processes, or to expand on existing tools, he remains available nearly any time of day time as a mentor, a leader and a friend to his members and his Summit. There is not a discussion that goes by that Irfan does not provide feedback or commentary on. With his experience within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood this has become an invaluable tool for his fellow Summit members.

Irfan has also fulfilled a unique role that I can genuinely say no other member would be capable of: he has been the bridge between the prior generation of Arconae and older members and the new generation of Summit. He has worked tirelessly to be available to help mediate disputes and work alongside his Consul and Proconsul in building a bond between the current Summit and the members of the Arconae. He helps to encourage open and honest discussion and the impact it can have by incorporating members of all experience levels both new and old.

Arcona would not be what it is without him here to guide, mentor and help us grow.

For these reasons and more that I could never hope to find the words for, I give my voice in recommending Celahir Erinos Arconae for the rank of Grand Cross of the Dark Side.
