Today we have the opportunity to recognize the outstanding efforts of one of our great Knights. Alara has continued to press hard in her efforts in the clan, her house, and her battleteam. Be it quality submissions or sound advice to her clanmates, Alara has proved she is ready to advance on to the Equite ranks.

Since reaching the rank of Knight, Alara has completed some 36 total competitions. These have earned her 1 Diamond, 1 Ruby, 1 Amethyst, 2 Sapphire, 6 Emerald, and 1 Topaz Stars. These submissions helped earn her a fourth overall in our recent Clan Event “Operation Starfall”, and her submissions in the Clan feud against Naga Sadow earlier this year helped secure CSP a victory. In addition to these, she has participated in 5 ACC matches, earned 17 Clusters of Ice, 9 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Legion of the Scholar, 1 Anteian Cross, and 1 Dark Cross.

Congratulations Alara and welcome to the Equite ranks!

Alara has been an integral member of Scholae Palatinae since joining, and her activity remains strong in the raw numbers, the effort, and the community contribution.

The raw numbers have been expressed in Xen's recommendation. In addition to this, Alara has hosted 3 competitions of her own, and co-hosted 5. Alara's competitions are often creative and unusual, allowing members to showcase skills and participate in activities outside of what the brotherhood typically offers and is why Alara is so important to us as a clan. Examples of this are the musical and song-writing competitions we recently co-hosted.

Just as impressive is the effort and care she puts in to her own work. If you ask Alara for a drawing, she produces a painting. If you ask her for a poem, she'll write one and sing it too. I've had personal experience of working with Alara, as she was an instrumental part of the diamond crescent winning multimedia team in the Clan Feud, where she expertly provided the voices for every character in the movie. Alara has a wonderful range of talents and has applied them expertly in the 8 months since her last promotion.

Congratulations!

It has been a pleasure to get to know Alara Deathbane on her journey to join the Equites. When I think of Alara, two things has always been clear: dedication and the willingness to do a little extra. First, Alara has been active for some time now and continues to stay active despite the real world’s trials and tribulation. She is a great example of a loyal, active clan member who kicks ass and helps out the clan as much as possible. In the most recent Clan event, Alara was a beacon of activity and a great example not only to House Excidium but to the Clan itself.

In addition, Alara has fulfilled the role of Sergeant for eight months now. This urge to do a little extra on a regular basis is a wonderful trait to have in a clan member. She has helped run several extended major battle team competitions, helped members wherever needed, and assisted her battlet eam leader in the creation of team reports. In addition, she recently put together a trial for the newest nominee for her unit, Tacitus Athanasius, along with the BTL. As her QUA, I had wanted to kick it off sooner rather than later and Alara responded quickly despite the tight deadline. As part of this trial she had to confer with the BTL of Tacitus Athanasius, co-judge the fiction entry, and she volunteered to write summary fiction that ended up being 1066 words. I super appreciated the quick turnaround and the effort she put into it to ensure the trial ran well.

In conclusion, I hereby recommend Alara Deathbane ascend to Equite membership, specifically the rank of Mystic. Her community efforts, activity, and continued dedication are exactly what makes an Equite special. Congratz and well done!! Drinks are on you! Have fun with all those new points for the ACC!!!

#SoProud. #Hype. #Wow.
