The best thing I can say about Tali is that he astounds me. It's rare that we get a member with Tali's level of determination, passion and talent. He has a keen wit and intelligence that he brings to bear on every situation he encounters, and he's always ready to offer helpful advice and solutions to problems. He's quick to offer to lend a hand with projects, wiki updates, or character development. In short, he's a joy to have as a member.

His personal activity is unparalleled.Since his last promotion in July, he has participated in 60 competitions and co-organized 3. That works out to almost nine competitions per month, for which he has earned 4 Ruby Crescents, 6 Amethyst Crescents, 4 Sapphire Crescents, an Emerald Crescent and 2 Topaz Crescents. At over 55,000 words, he's written more fiction in that time than many Brotherhood members do in their entire career, earning a Dark Cross along the way.

Maybe most astounding, though, was his participation in the recent Great Jedi War. Not only did he participate in every single Bin (earning 21 Seals of Wrath), he earned a Gold Nova in the process. Few members of the Brotherhood ever earn a Gold Nova. Something tells me this won't be Tali's last.

For your enviable work effort, your consistent drive to excel, and the untempered passion you bring to the Brotherhood, it is my privilege to recommend you be elevated to rank of Savant. Congratulations, Tali!

Holy purple-moly! Tali Sroka is a man of action! His is a name that consistently appears on many a fiction competitions and more, quickly growing to join the ranks of the prolific writers in our community. He spreads his love for writing with those around him, often encouraging and attempting to rope in his fellow Voidbreakers and Arconans into collaborating on fictions just for funzies. And he aids them in their own character development and the building of character relations. It seems to be something he greatly enjoys doing, with discussions filled to the brim with enthusiasm. Tali is a bright and welcoming figure in many of our social communities, known by a wider audience than just his Clan, and his helpful tendencies reach far and wide.

Tali is immensely creative, having helped developed both Selen, our home planet in Dajorra, and Voidbreaker through their respective development competition events. This creativity, along with his drive to improve the DJB for his fellow peers and himself, has led to him sending several proposals. Tali's proposal for the Kaminoan species was accepted and now has become one of the selectable races for members. Other proposals included feat suggestions and rebalancing, armor implications, and more.

This Twi’lek is a stubborn man, set to what he believes and thinks. And you know what? We need that. We need that determination and tenacity to push for change and addition in this club, to stir up what otherwise may lay stagnant. I am glad to see this in Tali, it reminds me there’s always more we can do and improve. So, keep at it, Tali. Your insight is greatly appreciated, as well as your plethora of new ideas, and it may one day spread to a new wave of equally invested members.

I am excited to recommend Tali Sroka for promotion to Equite II! Congratulations, Tail-lek! I look forward to working more with you and seeing where the stars take you.

The Lek-master continues to amaze! Since his promotion to EQ1, he has participated in 55 competitions, and co-organized 3 of them. He is a prolific writer, having written over 55,000 words of fiction. Yes, you read that correct; he has written over a novel’s worth of fiction.

In addition to his writing and his competition activity, Tali has dedicated himself to improving the DB. He has submitted a number of proposals, including one for the recently implemented Kaminoan species, and a proposal to reform Arconan possessions. He is also a constant, friendly presence on Telegram, providing support and guidance for new members, as well the occasional piece of constructive criticism.

For all of Tali’s activity and his general DB-related awesomeness, I am happy to recommend that Tali be promoted to EQ2. Congratulations, Tali! You are ever a bright light within Arcona, and I adore every opportunity I get to interact with you!

Wrathus, formerly known as Solas Night-Thorn at the time of his move to Plagueis from Tarentum, has settled immediately into our Clan and has shown that he is willing to be a positive member of the group, regardless of the unfortunate circumstances that brought him our way. Wrathus has spent the time since his last promotion in September of 2016 continuing to better the Brotherhood as a whole through both individual activity as well as leadership work at both the Clan and Brotherhood level through his work as a Battleteam Leader and Magistrate.

On a personal level, since his last promotion Wrathus has participated in 47 competitions total competitions while earning 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 5 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 2 Crescents with Emerald Star, and 1 Crescent with Topaz Star. Of those competitions, seven of them were during the recent Great Jedi War and granted him 7 Seals of Wrath. Immediately upon his arrival in Plagueis, he also participated in 12 of the 18 total competitions during our recent Vacation on Dagobah event, instantly showing that he brings the same dedication and activity to his new Clan that he demonstrated in his old one. In the realm of fiction he has amassed 10 Clusters of Ice for 3 fiction activities, 1 ACC post, and 1,575 words across 3 run on posts. As befits a former Herald staffer, he has also earned 3 Clusters of Graphite for his graphic work. He also has continued his education in the form of his 7 completed Shadow Academy courses.

Not one to stop at mere individual work, Wrathus has also worked to make the wider Brotherhood better for his presence in it. First, as a mentor he earned a Seal of the Master for guiding Blackhawk to the rank of Knight. In Tarentum, he served as a Battleteam Leader for 11 months. In that time he focused his efforts on his subordinates, both helping to direct them through their time in the Brotherhood while also organizing and running 8 competitions for the members of his team. Additionally, his efforts as a leader and his activity saw him awarded an Anteian Cross. He also completed the final 4 months of his tenure as a Magistrate to the Herald.

Wrathus has continually shown himself to be a positive and active presence in the Brotherhood, both in Tarentum and Plagueis. It is for these efforts I believe Wrathus worthy of elevation to Equite 2. May this be the first of many triumphs to come as a member of Plagueis.

Master Selika Roh di Plagia, 2018-02-11 14:51:26 UTC

As Herald I've had the pleasure of working with some admirable artist. People who inspire with their work and engagement. Wrathus (aka Solas) is one of those artists. As Magistrate he has done stellar work and contributed greatly to the club's graphics, for which he has already received a Grand Cross. Suffice it to say that I hold Wrathus is great regard, both as a colleague and as a fellow artist. I believe the other recommendations covered his other merits so I'll just finish by saying: congratulations, Wrathus. This promotion is well deserved.

• Vyr (Morgan)
• Herald of the Brotherhood

Boss Morgan Sorenn, 2018-02-11 12:59:14 UTC

Looking back at the efforts that Solas made in Tarentum, I think the single word that could best describe him is "recruitment." Solas made an exceptional drive to recruit others around him from school both into the Brotherhood, and into Tarentum. He was motivated to spread the word about our fine Club, and draw people into the good times that can be had here.

Throughout my time in leadership in the last tenure of Tarentum, Solas was an active voice in trying to motivate us to be better. His greatest motivation was in the Herald's office, and with his efforts there, there also might have been an opportunity to draw the Clan of Death closer to both Vyr as a character, as well as to the Herald's office in general. Obviously, these things didn't come to fruition, but the desire was there.

Solas wants to be the best. I am excited to see him in Plagueis, where I truly believe they will push him to greater heights, and will bring out the best in him, and press him to new heights in the Brotherhood. It was fun to see him learn and grow as a Team leader, and I wish him all the best. I believe that, with time, Solas has the potential to reach new heights, and climb the ladder of leadership once again.
