If this last war has taught me anything it is that Arcona has some of the strongest, most reliable members in this club. Aldaric has earned his place amongst that list of exceptional members. Since his return to Arcona, he has been a non-stop pillar of strength and dedication to his clan and the members within it.

Since his last promotion, Aldaric has organized 20 competitions and co-organized another. He has competed in 84 himself, including becoming one of Arcona's 100% BIN participants in GJW Discord! His competition participation has earned him 43 crescents (1 diamond, 11 ruby, 17 amethyst, and 14 sapphire). His War efforts have earned him 3 Silver Novae and 1 Gold Novae!

Aldaric is also an avid gamer. He has taken part in 8 PVP matches and 16 PVE matches. These have earned him 79 Clusters of Fire and 150 Clusters of Earth. For his artwork in competition, he has received 18 Clusters of Graphite. Finally activity in fiction. including 2 posts in a Clan Wide Run-On as well as 1 ACC battle and 5 other fictional activities, netting him 14 Clusters of Ice.

Aldaric has passed 1 SA course and earned 2 degrees. He has also won 9 Legion of the Scholars and 1 Seal of Loyalty. He goes above and beyond as a leader, and.since his last promotion he has spent 1 month as Aedile for Clan Taldryan and 4 months as Quaestor for Clan Arcona.

Thank you Aldaric for everything you've done for Arcona, and I gladly congratulate you on reaching the rank of Equite 2! You deserve it!

When Aldaric decided to apply for Quaestor I knew Galeres would flourish, and that one of Arcona’s sons wanted to come back to it. He’s been attentive, teachable, and a solid member of the Summit. It has been a pleasure and an honor working with him, and I look forward to him being my boss soon as well (no pressure!). If I had two more of him I’d never worry about the future of Arcona, much less the House!

Congratulations, Aldaric, it’s been a fun ride, and you certainly deserve this!

The Lovely Lavender Lek remains an unstoppable force within Arcona! Since his last promotion, Tali has participated in 152 competitions, organized 22 and co-organized 5. His efforts have earned him a Gold and Silver Nova in the GJW XIII, as well as a Grand Cross and a Steel Cross. He has also earned 220 Clusters of Ice, 68 Clusters of Graphite and 3 Clusters of Fire. When he isn’t slaying competitions, Tali writes. In fact, Tali writes a lot. In total, he has written an impressive 101,951 words of fiction. He is particularly willing to write with newer members, helping them to expand their character’s storylines.

In addition to his general activities, Tali continues to serve with distinction within the Summit. As Aedile for the past four months, he was integral in the creation of the HQD Vacation Series. He provides a significant amount of assistance in planning the future storylines and events for the House. In addition, his organized nature has been helpful in ensuring timelines and goals are met. I really don’t know what I would do without him!

All too often, people get bored and drift away from the club when they reach the lofty heights of Equite. Tali, meanwhile, continues to express a passion for seeing both Arcona, and the DJB, continue to grow and thrive. He is helpful to newer members and, though well-intentioned, keeps older members on their toes. Instead of resting on his laurels, he continues to be an active and productive member and a wonderful example within leadership. It is for these reasons that I am proud to recommend Tali for EQ3. Stellar job, Lek-head! Keep up the amazing work!

I am immensely proud of Tali. Though he got to a rocky start in some regards, Tali has grown, matured, and evolved into a truly inspirational member of our clan. Always one to speak up and make sure his thoughts and ideas are heard, the Lek-tastic Tali has truly come into his own.

When Tali applied for Aedile, I was excited. I wanted to see what he could bring to the job, and I wasn't disappointed. He immediately jumped in headfirst with planning events for his House with Lucine. Unafraid to learn the necessary skills for his new position, Tali brought his experience with him to help lead HQD and continuing to push them into remaining Arconas most active House.

On Telegram Tali is one of our most constant voices, always hyping whatever event, war, competition they need to in order to promote activity. He is also one of the most active competitors in the House participating in 152 competitions since his last promotion! He is a role model for new members, and I trust him completely as he moves forward within our Clan.

Congratulations Tali! You deserve this!

It's been a long road to leadership for Tali, an outspoken and active member of Arcona and the Club at large. After prodding him so many times to go for it, I'm very pleased that he did, he's been an indispensable asset to the Clan and his House. As many times as I've apologized for recruiting Tali, jokingly, I can't imagine Arcona without him and his sense of humor and steadfast activity. He's everything a leader should be; active, inventive, questioning, plotting, etc.

I am very proud of Tali's War efforts and his performance of Aedile duties and look forward to everything else he has to show us in the future. Congratulations, Lek-head!

This war has shown us what it means to be an Arconan and Scarlett has proven her self as a leader and true powerhouse for our Clan. In the time since her knighting, Scarlett has steadily kept herself busy with a wide variety of competitions. Her efforts across the 72 that she has submitted to have resulted in a variety of rewards. Her efforts have resulted in 2 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 2 with Sapphire Stars, and one with an Emerald Star. Scarlett's latest entries have also added 21 Clusters of Graphite and 8 Clusters of Ice to her collection.

Her efforts during the war are another matter that cannot go unnoticed. Her 14 submissions earned her a Silver Nova and a place among the members of Clan Arcona that competed in every bin. Her participation was a key element of our victory in the war, and I couldn't have asked for anything else.

Scarlett has also been an extremely active member of both the clan Telegram channel and that of House Galeres. I am rarely able to forward important news to the Galeres chat before she does. Furthermore, she has overseen several of our weekend roleplaying sessions in my place when I was unable to. Her fellowship with the members of the house has been an enormous help to me over the last few months.

She has also been working hard to learn the ins and outs of leadership within the Brotherhood. After initially being hesitant to jump into writing promotion and merit recommendations, she has now taken up writing all the recommendations for the members of Battle Team Spectre Cell. I expect to see great things from her as her career progresses.

I am proud to have Scarlett as a member of House Galeres. It is my honor to welcome her to the ranks of the Equites. Congratulations Scarlett! Keep up the good work!

Aldaric, 2019-09-13 11:28:14 UTC

Juli what can one say about her other then she is amazing, the drive she has shone leading her team into this past war is nothing short of extraordinary in it's own right.

Her kindness and steadfastness in the face of difficulties truly show the capabilities that have grown since taking over as battle team leader of Specter Cell.

I can truly say with a heart full of pride that she is more than diserving of this promotion. I fully expect great things to come from her. Congratulations Juli you have earned this.

Obelisk Adherent Rrogon Skar Agrona, 2019-09-13 02:07:53 UTC

Aru Law is, without a doubt, one of the most ambitious Journeyman I have seen in a long time. Since his last recognition, he has worked hard to meet the requirements for JM4. Furthermore, he went above and beyond expectations during the war, not only participating in numerous competitions, but also encouraging others to do the same.

Since his arrival to the DJB, Aru has participated in a whopping 45 competitions, and organized 1 competition. For his efforts, he has been awarded 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 2 Clusters of Fire, 9 Clusters of Ice, and 16 Clusters of Graphite. He also jumped in with both feet in the Clan-Wide RO for the GJW XIII, and earned a Silver Nova in the process. He has passed a total of 6 Shadow Academy Courses, including the Leadership Management and Competitions courses. His SA efforts have earned him Dark Mavens in Flight, Lore, Philosophy and Writing and allowing him to reach SA Rank 4.

In addition to tackling the Shadow Academy and competitions head on, Aru has become a welcome addition within the Arconan community. He has done an excellent job integrating into the myriad storylines within the clan, and his banter within the TG chats is always pleasant and entertaining. He has also willing to give back to the clan in the form of assisting with projects and helping from a leadership standpoint. Of note, he has assisted the Rollmaster in creating a simple Prometheus tutorial. He has also expressed interest in helping out within the SA, and has applied for one of the M:Fist positions.

It is for all these reasons, as well as the fact that he has satisfied the Time in Rank requirements, that I am proud to recommend Aru’s promotion to JM4. Welcome to Knighthood, Aru! I am so proud of all your progress, and am looking forward to seeing what you do next! Drinks are on you!

Aru has been an utter delight in our Clan and House, coming in strong with many ideas and a clear passion for creating new stories both alone and in groups. Barely had I seen Aru’s first tentative character concept that he was already being tied up to ongoing Voidbreaker and House Qel-Droma narratives, engaging with other members both fictionally and in Telegram.

Younger members may find participation in the DJB's activities daunting, and a GJW coming online soon after joining and still firmly in the training wheels phase could have been a real turn-off. But not for Aru! Kicking ass, taking names, chewing bubblegum, and waving the Arconan flag, our plucky Journeyman attacked the War and kicked several comps right in the placements!

I could not be more proud to recommend Aru for promotion to full Knighthood! Bring on the morning coffees!

Aedile Tali Sroka, 2019-09-12 16:39:07 UTC

Aru Law is the best, most loyal Apprentice a Master could wish for, saying good morning to everyone every day, giving his master a warm greeting, letting his droid Tinker prepare coffee for the whole Clan, and he even requested a custom droid aspect specifically for that purpose. Ever since he joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood he’s been absolutely slaying the Shadow Academy courses, earning high grades, grabbing himself Pundits and Mavens from all departments. This has earned him the nickname of Hellmower as he is intent on completing every single course in the Academy, and I absolutely believe he will get there. Over time Aru has spread his wings into competitions, Telegram channels and into the GMRG. He’s taken it a couple of steps further during the recent Great Jedi War in which he participated in all of the bins. The friendliness he exudes, coupled with the positivity he invokes for his fellow Arconan Clan members really helped boost our spirits during the war, always chanting ‘Arcona Invicta!’ at the right moments and never having any doubt about us taking back the title of First Clan. As of recently, he's been working hard on developing his character, having added all new custom aspects to his character sheet and getting them approved. Without a shadow of a doubt I would recommend Aru Law for his promotion to Knight! And if I may add, I love his new Character Sheet Aspects! Alaisy Tir’eivra

Since his last promotion, Sera has participated in a total of 16 competitions, giving a great showing in the ranks of Arcona during the GJW XIII. This has included writing a total of over 4000 words of fiction, winning 2 Silver Novae (!), and 22 Clusters. Additionally, Sera's managed to snatch a pair of Shadow Academy courses under his belt, for good measure. This is a tremendous showing for a member who's not yet reached full Knighthood and I have no reservations in believing Sera will go on to do even greater things in the future! Always positive and helpful, eager to engage with other members of the House and Battleteam, and a general presence for Ohana within Arcona, I am pleased to recommend Acolyte Sera Kaern be promoted to Hunter

Tyga has been a pleasant, upbeat spirit in the ranks of Arcona. Though very busy in his real life studying for college he has gone out of his way to squeeze in as much time to help with the war effort as he can, participating in 8 comps over 7 brackets in total.

Additionally he has been a welcome sight on Telegram, fostering good will with our other members and fitting into the Clan like a glove. He has completed a working CS for his character, has earned 4 clusters of Graphite and passed 8 courses earning himself 1 degree and SA rank 2.

It is for these reasons I submit him for promotion to Journeyman 2.

Bliss, 2019-09-10 18:38:17 UTC

You're already beginning to make a name for yourself, Kade Ra. I have heard reports from Clan Vizsla that you have managed to:

• Pass a Shadow Academy course (except Trial of Identity)

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,
