"No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings." - William Blake, some English poet.

Throughout her consularship, Zuza Lottson set and defined her wings. She soared to heights of her own with plans of taking roost again when the winds had changed directions. Nothing is more inspiring than deciding the first event she wanted to host as consul was a four clan event. Talk about herding cats! But that’s what everyone loves about her, that clan boundaries are mere walls to scale and overcome. She went on to plan fictional ties with Taldrya in their events and had started discussing a possible event with Vizsla that I look forward to continuing and honoring. Progressing the growth of Arcona, welcoming both the new and old blood, building up the confidence of our members, and more. Zuza helped with any question of the Brotherhood, took the time out of her day to explain fiction inquiries, help folks develop their characters and stories, and just to be supportive of our ooc lives as well. She recently recruited two of her friends, assisted them with learning the club and dominating in gaming, and personally mentored Esen Dulle to Knighthood!

Zuza strived to ensure all our members were getting recognized timely and adequately for their activity and contributions in the Clan and Brotherhood, that they felt seen. She had led and helped support the recognition of 8 promotions, which included three Elder II promos, and 14 sacramental and merit awards, including a Emerald Dagger and 5 Ruby scepters. All since her last activity recognition. She worked to ensure our leaders understood the ins and outs of recognition, and instilled an expected standard of quality and value, even going so far as to inviting members outside of the Summit to add in their support. This level of training extended to advising on reports, events and fictional development, engagement and more. She was eager to hear and work out everyone’s ideas as much as possible and within the confines of our sandbox. The ‘Yes, and’ reigned strong.

It was an honor serving with you and knowing you. Congratulations, Zuza. Fly free, my friend! And may the winds take you to new adventures and enjoyment.
