You're already beginning to make a name for yourself, Malephisius. I have heard reports from House Galeres that you have managed to:

• Perform a basic activity, such as contacting the house/clan summit

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,

Today I am taking action on something that probably should have happened a couple years ago.

Frosty Romanae Tarentae was one of the DB’s best gamers. His name was always somewhere in the top three for GJW and Vendetta gaming events. One of the last true PvP gamers, Frosty was a force to be reckoned with in Jedi Academy. But above all, he was someone who loved gaming and enjoyed participating and having fun with the members of this club.

Since his last promotion in 2016, Frosty has earned multiple accolades including sacramental awards, merit medals, novae, crescents, and over a thousand clusters. He organized and ran over 70 competitions, and participated in (and in many cases won) just as many.

Sadly, we lost Frosty in 2018. It is my hope that this posthumous promotion to Elder provides some closure to those who knew him, and also truly recognizes a person who gave so much to this club.

Frosty was one of the best, and while he did not live to see this promotion, it is still well deserved and long overdue.

Congratulations, Frosty. You are missed.

Shard, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Dark Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed. Your accomplishments include:

• Have an approved character sheet on record
• Write 750 words of character fiction as reviewed and approved by your unit leadership or master.

I will continue to watch your progress, Shard, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

May the Force guide you, Journeyman,

Having served 21 days in the rank, Balthasar continues to become a great(er) member of Arcona! He has completed 10 out of the 9 requirements for promotion including participation in 19 competitions, 3 of which he placed in! He also organised and closed a gaming competition, as well as earning 2 pendants of blood! On top of that, he passed the 2 leadership exams with flying colours and reached rank IV in the Shadow Academy, exceeding expectations once more.

Due to all these hard-earned achievements, I thus recommend Balthasar for his next Journeyman rank! Congratulations Balthasar, and carry on with the good work.

Since my take over as Herald, Aylin has been an important asset to the Herald staff. So far she has designed the custom robes for 2 different members but also created 2 sets of selector robes for the most recent Herald release that aired a couple of days ago. While these numbers don't seem much, the creation of (custom) robes yet alone entire sets made from various style and color variations is an extensive feat that takes a lot of time and effort.

Aylin presents a steady voice on the Herald staff, commenting and aiding in increasing the quality of the staff's work while also sharing a lot of personal art pieces in the Brotherhood's official art channels back on Telegram and now on our Discord server.

This daily presence is backed up by an outstanding participation record of Competition participation. Since her last recognition, Aylin has earned herself 2 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 1 Crescent with Sapphire Star, and 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, making her score in 4 of 5 Competitions she participated in. Further she snagged herself more than two dozen Clusters from said Competitions (12 Clusters of Graphite and 13 Clusters of Ice)

These are only the most recent achievements of Aylin and show only a fraction of what she has done since her last promotion more than two years ago. For all the above and all that Aylin will surely do in the future, it is my greatest honor to recommend her to be promoted to Reaver (Equite4)

Well done, Aylin.

Rian Taldrya, 2022-01-02 08:56:01 UTC

Geez, where do I even start with Aylin? She's an absolute powerhouse of activity, and someone that Taldryan is proud to have in the Clan. Rian has already spoken about her activity, having participated in 77 since her last promotion back in 2019, so I'm going to take the time to tell you about the stuff that the website doesn't keep track off.

Firstly, and perhaps, the most obvious, is her artwork. Rian already touched on Aylin sharing her pieces in the art chat, but there's a bit more to it. A lot of be time, Aylin does pieces for members of their characters, pieces such as this and this, completely free, a lot of the time without even being asked. It's not like this is a responsibility for her on the Herald staff, she just does it because she enjoys it and she cares about this community, and that speaks a lot for her as a member.

Next, I would be remiss if I didn't include her activity in Taldryan's RP chat. Aylin is one of the most enthusiastic contributors to Taldryan's RP scene, often posting daily, and driving forward the story with her characters. In total, she has written 17783 words since her last promotion.

Unfortunately, that doesn't even cover it all. Aylin is the type that enjoys writing with others, and has written a number of cooperative stories with myself, such as this and this. The word count is honestly in the thousands.

I am happy to join Rian in recommending Aylin for promotion to EQ4. Congratulations, Aylin!
