Sera Kaern came in swinging. I think he’d been part of our merry band of thieves and ne’er do-wells for but a few days at most, when he was already roping in myself, Eilen, and Karran into an explosive introduction for his character! Begin as you mean to go on, eh? Since then, Sera’s various accolades have accounted for 26 competition entries for which he’s earned a frankly astounding 2 Silver Novae (!), 17 Clusters of Ice, 14 Clusters of Graphite and 15 Seals of Discord. If the last didn’t sink in, Sera had barely gotten his feet dipped in the kiddy end of the pool when he was thrust into the cold murky depths of a Great Jedi War, but this plucky Zabraki fighter came out swinging! And just to prove he isn’t just all knuckles and no brain, Sera’s completed 20 SA courses, nabbing a pair of Dark Pundits for his efforts.

As a person, Sera has been industrious, enthusiastic, and delightfully intrigued by our fictional goings-on. He’s been keen to learn about our House, Arcona, and especially the plotlines we’re currently developing both in-House and at large. Often to the point where we’ve had to admit all the detail he’s sought hasn’t even been established yet!

On Telegram, he’s quickly become a regular and has delighted our channels with his presence and enthusiastic support of things mundane and science-fantastical. To say he’s taken to Arcona like a fish to Dajorran waters is at least a swimming analogy. And if the participation, general Ohana-itude, and obsession with plot wasn’t enough to show how Arconan Sera is, they just finished their first ACC match and won! With a score so close to a 5 it was frankly astonishing it was his first outing!

For all these things, and more besides, it is my honor, nay, priviledge, to recommend Sera Kaern for full Knighthood and the rank of JM 4.

Signed,
Seer Tali Sroka

Sera is by far and away a welcome addition to Arcona. Whether it be showing themselves as a strong competitor, or an active presence on Telegram, Sera is what we look for in new members. Earning 2 Silver Novae and 15 Seals of Discord, Sera proved themselves in the GJW and continues to do say every day.

Becoming a Knight is a momentous occasion for any member. I am proud to be Proconsul when Sera makes this well-earned step in their DJB career. Congratulations Sera!

Master Aiden Lee Deshra, 2019-10-18 21:37:47 UTC

Sera Kaern has been an absolutely outstanding member of Arcona. Since joining, he has participated in 26 competitions, including an outstanding showing during the war. He has also tried his hand at both the Shadow Academy courses and the ACC. His steady activity is an example to all.

In addition to his level of activity, Sera maintains a constant, active presence of Telegram. His banter is interesting and entertaining, and I know my day is usually made brighter by being able to interact with him.

Knighthood is an important milestone in one’s DJB career, and Sera has worked hard to achieve it. Based on his overall level of activity, and for being an exemplary member of Arcona, I am proud to recommend for Knighthood. Congratulations, Sera! Keep up the amazing work, and I look forward to seeing the heights you will achieve! Also, drinks are on you tonight!

Since his last promotion a good year ago, Justinios has served in several positions ranging from Quaestor of Ektrosis to Proconsul of Taldryan as well as Docent on the Shadow Academy and Magistrate to the Fist. All in all the combined time he spend in leadership positions largely rivals the time since his last promotion which clearly marks him a member not only dedicated to the growth of the Brotherhood.

But at the same time Justinios keeps up a high level of personal activity, since his last promotion, Justinios participated in not less than a twohundred-fifty-four competitions earning him a total of forty-one Crescents of varying degrees (five Diamond, six Ruby, seventeen Amethyst, ten Sapphire, seven Emerald, and one Topaz) and five Novae (two Gold, one Silver, and two Bronze).

Likewise Justinios is one of the most excellent gamers of Taldryan, collecting nearly one thousand Clusters of Fire (881), more than seven-hundred Clusters of Earth (710) and three Pendants of Blood.

Adding to his skills as a multi-talent, Justinios scored a total of sixty Clusters of Graphite rewarded for Graphic-rubriced Competitions to best represent the Clan in all forms of activities.

Speaking of representing Taldryan, as member of the Clan Summit and Assistant to the DC, Justinios ran a total of twenty-eight competitions, and published a total of four Newsposts as both Quaestor of Ektrosis and Proconsul.

Justinios also earned one Dark Side Scrolls for writing a featured article as well as one Scroll of Foundation and 1 Legion of the Scholar.

Its safe to say that such astonishing achievements didn't go unnoticed by his superiors, for which he received a Sapphire Blade from the Fist and a Grand Cross of the Dark Side from his Consul as well as one Seals of Loyalty for the third time in a row.

While all the above focus on Arvalis personal achievements, it also needs to be stated that he puts great effort in the growth of Taldryan and the Brotherhood as he played a major role in the development of House Ektrosis' fictional theme as the Strategic Research and Intelligence division of Taldryan.

A testament to his diligence and dedication to Taldryan and the Brotherhood Justinios has time and time again proven his value as a member of the Brotherhood and more than deserving the promotion to the rank of Equite 3.

Congratz Justinios!

Ever since Xendar joined the clan, he's been hitting the Shadow Academy and taking part in competitions. He's fulfilled the necessary requirements to move up to the next rank, and he's been very active on top of that. He's already earned three Mavens and a Savant, and taken part in a total of competitions. Xendar has done more than enough to take the next step on his journey. Congratulations, Xendar! Well earned! Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Keep up the great work!

Since joining Imperium, Neophyte Xender Thendaris has flooded my inbox with notifications. He has shown greast drive to better himself and bring credit not only to himself but to Imperium and Clan Scholae Palatinae. It is therefore in my opinion, Xender has more than earned an elevation to the rank of Acolyte.

I look forward to seeing what you can accomplish in the future, SBL Ric Hunter Aedile of Imperium

The time that I have known Etah has mostly been comprised of the since his arrival in Clan Naga Sadow back in January of last year. However, in this time Etah has displayed to me a certain zeal for Star Wars and the Dark Brotherhod. Although he has not always been in a position of leadership, he has brought a number of interesting ideas to the table. He has shown an interest in how the club or Clan might further refine the member experience, and that enthusiasm is admirable.

Since his last promotion, Etah has taken part in 102 competitions, not to mention having organized 2 himself during his time in Tarentum, and racked up a not-unimpressive number of goodies for his efforts. He earned a Gold Nova in GJWXIII: Discord from the Small Team Co-op Fiction in the Event Long bin, a Bronze Nova from back during Fading Light, 1 Crescent with a Ruby Star, 5 Crescents with a Sapphire Star, 6 Crescents with an Emerald Star, 8 Crescents with a Topaz Star, 2 Crescents with Quartz Star and a Legion of the Scholar. Having dabbled in gaming through a PVE activity Etah also earned 4 Clusters of Fire.

Taking up the pen, he has also written 11783 words over 25 fiction activities and another 3984 words over 8 run on posts. All this has earned him 33 Clusters of Ice. However, Etah Deimos has not just been restricted to gaming or fiction, of course. He has also challenged himself in graphics competitions and the Shadow Academy. For the prior he has earned 48 Clusters of Graphite, and in the Academy he has passed a notable 48 courses. All that course work has gained him 10 degrees, showing a desire to further expand his horizons. Back in 2017, he even earned a Scroll of Foundation for taking the most courses between July 20th and August 31st.

Beyond the normal course of member-common activity, Etah has had some experiences which are the sort which demonstrate elements that are key to effective leadership. He served as a member of the Recruitment Staff for the club in 2014, for which he earned a Dark Cross, as he worked to keep up the club's Facebook page. In 2015, he received an Anteian Cross which recognized his team work and activities contributing to the Tarentum war effort during the 11th Great Jedi War.

He has also served as an Aedile on two different times: for 3 months in 2015 and then again for 5 months in 2017. Between this time, he spent 6 months as a Battleteam Leader in Tarentum, before serving as an Aedile in Liath over 3 months in the same. He also served a period of six months in 2018 as the Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan. He also received 2 Steel Crosses between his tenures of leadership. He has a heart to see his unit improve, and that is to be applauded. He has also earned himself a single Scroll of Indoctrination for personally recruiting a member.

Looking back at his service record, Etah has a nice trophy case of Seals. Besides the Seal of Loyalty he received in 2015, he has earned 26 Seals of the Crusader for activity during the Dark Crusades, 7 Seals of Revelation for activity during the 11th Great Jedi War, 9 Seals of Wrath for activity during Great Jedi War XII, 21 Seals of Fury for activity during Rite of Supremacy: Meridian and 13 Seals of Discord for the last Great Jedi War.

With so much under his belt, I feel that now may be the time for Etah Deimos Kilij-Bloodfyre to step up and join the ranks of the 4th grade of the Equites. Congratulations on your new rank, Etah. Drinks will be on you, Warlord.

Battlelord Etah Killij Bloodfyre, has distinguished himself as a stout member of House Shar Dakhan. I have the utmost respect for this man and seek his counsel regularly. Etah has always been the one to see the logical side of things within the House. Always there to render such an outlook to the House, situation conversation, that always seems to make one take a more objective look at things. I feel he is a natural leader. For example, He spearheaded the House’s Faction creation for the RoS garnering top 10 placement for that competition.

Furthermore, Etah is always seeking improvement within the Brotherhood, looking towards the future betterment of the Club and Clan, he put together a very well orchestrated proposal to Clan Summit on establishing a Clan Battleteam, under the direction of the Rollmaster. This proposal was geared towards Journeyman members controlling/interacting as NPC Fleet officers during Clan and House event(s). It is with great pleasure that I recommend Battlelord Etah Killij Bloodfyre for this award.
