If ever everything Arden says seems night unintelligible and their actions inscrutable, it's only because they're ten steps ahead vibrating on another plane of existence from the rest of us. Arden has one setting: go. And it's this nature that has carried them through the echelons of the Aurora Collegium, through the Journeyman ranks, and through our hearts (not unlike a coronary.) His master and recruiter will have more to say of specifics, but as his Proconsul, I will say that we look forward to all the chaos you continue to bring, Squid, and well done on all you've achieved so far.

Welcome to Knighthood.

Proconsul, Clan Arcona

“Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.” ~Henry Adams

No truer have I seen proof of these words than in recent days with you, Arden. A spark of life spread into a wildfire across all of Arcona. Since you last came before us for promotion you’ve continued to burn bright, throwing yourself into academic pursuits, passing through 16 Academy Courses, and gaining an additional Maven and Savant. Your chaotic nature has certainly flown into our collective Discord, as well, with rampant discussions across the arts, animation, and all things Grimace.

You’ve been a breath of fresh air, a loving bit of chaos, and a reminder that the world isn’t as predictable as we all set out to believe. Seeing your character growth in RP and Fiction has been an enjoyable ride and reminder that no matter how chaotic the writer, their works can stand testament to a keen wit beneath, your Four Clusters of Ice in the last two weeks stand up to show for it too.

Ever Onwards, Arden!

It has been a short month since the last time we were here in concerns to the constant progression, enthusiasm and energy Arden continues to be a powerhouse of. It’s wonderful to see the chaotic pulse that they bring in full force to not just Arcona but any chat they choose to inhabit. While only 881 words of roleplay have been documented, it is known that far more are to come already.

With that in mind however, the stats! Arden participated in four competitions, one of which was a container, and earned three crescents for their efforts. One of a diamond star, and the other two both ruby. Alongside their roleplay, they also submitted a regular fiction ringing it 1606 words, bringing their clusters of ice to a nice quartet. These efforts alone are a joy to see, consistent activity is always encouraged. Yet the most impressive part of Arden’s activity this last month is the sixteen courses in the Shadow Academy they have passed. These courses compiled into Arden’s third maven, this one of Lore, as well as their first Savant in Writing and Philosophy. Most of this was over the course of less than a week and is really astounding at the speed and accuracy of these results.

Arden has no hesitation into diving full force and enthusiasm into anything that truly takes their interest. It’s a wonder to see in action even if the graders over in the Shadow Academy are really receiving work in excess of what their credit chits probably cover. With all of this in mind, I recommend our favorite Bionicle expert, squid snarker and Pikmin appreciator to the rank of Journeyman 4.
