To reach the next level of Equites, a member must demonstrate ”above and beyond performance” and Elyon has done just that, through a steady stream of activity over a long period, devotion to her Clan and giving back to the community as Aedile of the Consular Conclave.

Since being appointed as the Aedile of the Consular Conclave over the past 8 months, Elyon aided her QUA with a survey to the members, looking for ideas of what stories and experiences they would like to see along with how they plan to use their characters in this new House. The result was an engaging storyline that touched on many of the things that those members wanted to play out as their characters. Elyon is so incredibly supportive and cares deeply for the members under her watch. She actively engages the membership on Discord and is always available during Summitt chats to push for ideas she feels benefits the Clan. Additionally, she has hosted 5 Community Events, mostly Roleplay and Trivia and has participated in 1 additional Roleplay event this year. She is such a pleasure to work with, attentive, and can be relied upon to finish tasks in a timely manner.

Since her last promotion in the middle of 2021, Elyon has been awarded 1 Anteian Cross and 1 Steel Cross. She participated in 71 competitions, earning herself 2 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 3 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 2 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 3 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 2 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 1 Crescent with Topaz Star, and 4 Crescents with Quartz Stars. For her art, she's earned 9 Clusters of Graphite. For her gaming activities, she’s earned 6 Clusters of Fire and 1 Cluster of Earth. For her fiction activities she has earned 48 Clusters of Ice for 17,105 words of fiction. She has also organized 7 competitions, co-organized 5 and earned 9 Seals of Ascension.

Thank you Elyon for your service to the members of Odan-Urr. We look forward to seeing what more you have in store for the Consulars. Congratulations on your promotion to Equite 3!

Elyon is a constant presence that shows up when she is needed and even when she is not. Whether it be a community event, a GJW, handling a troubled member, gaming, mentoring, etc. She is there. A mainstay in Odan-Urr for some time, the amount of energy and time she is willing to put into the Clan is inspiring and uplifting. Of particular note, the community event contributions are incredibly important, both as a hoster and participant. Thank you for being a great friend and a bright light to others who use this club to have fun (including me!). Congratulations on your promotion to Equite 3!

To reach the next level of Equites, a member must demonstrate ”above and beyond performance” and Ryan has done just that, through a steady stream of activity over a long period, strong community involvement and by personifying the values we hold dear in Clan Odan-Urr.

Ryan has been a member of good standing with us since all the way back to 2013. Since then he’s toured many of our Houses, demonstrating a willingness to propel each unit forward. This was more recently proven during GJW XV. He set a goal to earn as many gaming Clusters as he could and ended up placing 3rd in the Supported Game Cluster Race, earning 855 total Clusters, proving COU to be a strong contender in the gaming scene. He actively engages with his Clanmates on Discord and shows his support for the members by encouraging activity and being a part of 7 Community Events this year.

Since his last promotion, towards the end of 2020, Ryan has been awarded 2 Steel and 1 Dark Cross. He’s participated in 65 competitions, earning himself 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 6 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 4 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 3 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 2 Crescents with Emerald Stars, and 1 Crescent with Topaz Star. For his art, he's earned 12 Clusters of Graphite. For his 80 gaming activities, he’s earned 11 Pendants of Blood, 859 Clusters of Fire and 181 Clusters of Earth. For his fiction activities, he’s earned 30 Clusters of Ice for 10,251 words. For graphics, he’s earned 12 Clusters of Graphite. He’s also earned 2 Bronze Nova, 1 Legion of the Scholar, 15 Seals of Enmity, 11 Seals of Ascension and passed 2 Shadow Academy courses. Thank you Ryan for being an excellent member of Clan Odan-Urr. We’re excited to see you moving up the ladder. Congratulations on your promotion to Equite 2!

Centam is a beacon of activity within Taldryan. It amazes me that nothing seems to slow him down. He enjoys being active in the club, and even after a Great Jedi War of all things, he refuses to slow down his momentum.

Since his last promotion, Centam has participated in 31 competitions, many of which were from the recent GJW where Centam was one of Taldryan's biggest contributors, bringing in two Gold Nova in his first vendetta! From those competitions, he has earned the following awards;

Gold Nova x2 Crescent with Diamond Star x3 Crescent with Ruby Star x1 Crescent with Amethyst Star x5 Crescent with Sapphire Star x2 Crescent with Emerald Star x1 Crescent with Quartz Star x1

Centam is also a regular at the Shadow Academy, having completed 8 SA courses and earning 1 degree.

The promotion from a Journeyman to an Equite is a big leap for a member in the club. It is a sign that the member in question is committed to being an active and engaged member within our little corner of the Internet. I believe Centam encompasses the qualities of an Equite.

Congratulations, Peacekeeper Centam! I look forward to seeing you progress further!

Some members lead by signing up or taking a position in Clan Summit or working as a staffer for a DCer, but others find different ways to make their presence known. While Techie (currently playing Eilen Ru’tyari) has not served on the summit or in a staff position, he leads in a way that benefits Clan Arcona, and therefore the DJB, in a much more impactful way: he recruits and retains members. This is bluntly visible on paper thanks to his 2 Scrolls of the Master for mentoring Doon Sulvir and Meyrath Rizara to JM4. But what is not seen on paper is that he could have easily had a third or fourth in recent JM4s Druzk Zornosz and Mex, all of whom were recruited to the club by Techie and stayed thanks to his willingness to walk them through every step, hop in voice chat, or talk them through the introductory steps of the club's onboarding. Techie could have tried to be selfish and handle all four on his own, but his savvy and awareness of what draws people to the club and the clan allowed him to delegate his recruits to the right mentor (based on time zone, schedule, and personality), which paid dividends for the success of our most recent class of Journeyman completing their trials. This level of adding growth to Arcona and the DJB has a revitalizing effect on everyone, including old jaded bones like myself.

Statistically speaking, Techie has been a powerhouse across a wide spectrum of activities. He’s participated in 64 competitions while nabbing 18 Crescents with various stars. During the last RoS, Techie stepped up by earning 15 Seals of Enmity and took home 4 Gold Novae and 1 Silver. In Great Jedi XV, he added another Silver Nova for his contributions to the Clan Run-On, and made sure to get 100% bin participation with his 12 entries. He also added on two 4th place placements as well!

Over the last two years as an Equite 2, and having accrued two Anteian Crosses already, Techie has gathered 267 Clusters of Fire, 88 Clusters of Ice, 6 Clusters of Earth, 33 Clusters of Graphite, earned 465,300 credits for the Clan and has clicky-clack’d 37,323 words of fiction between RPs and Fiction Competitions.

Arcona would not be the same Clan without Techie’s presence. For this, and all he’s helped bring to the table with an infusion of new recruits and his own personal efforts, I’m honored to see him elevated to the rank of Equite 3.

Eilen/Techie/Sully goes by many names, but all of them resonate with the same warmness that is quintessentially Arconan. Like the space ferret he is, Techie has found his niche and resides within it aplomb. When prompted or tempted to spurs of activity, the frenzied results are terrifying and magnificent to behold, and in the calms between he is a continued delight both within the fictional realm and most importantly in our shared cyberspace.

A true and dependable member, I honestly could not imagine Qel-Droma without at least one of our resident space ferrets to call upon, and as recognition for his dependable service and continued awesomeness, I am happy to support this well-earned promotion to EQ3.
