Since exactly 1 month ago, Kalen Joss has continued his march through the ranks. He has kept up in every single Society of the Brotherhood, which shows in the 15 (yep you see that right) Society rank up's, the only that he didn't rank up in was the ACC Judge. However, I'm sure by his next promotion or award, we will also be seeing rank ups in that one as well. Kalen has slowed down, though still working his way through the Aurora Collegium of Sciences, completing 5 more courses and earning yet another degree.

Speaking of awards, he’s earned his first, of probably many stabbies, Sapphire Blade! Kalen not only organized 1 competition, but has also participated in 41 competitions and earned a total of 18 crescents, which calculates out to 44% placement across the board. And the range of Crescents is impressive as well, as he’s gotten 2 Diamond, 3 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 5 Sapphire, 1 Emerald! Along with all of those, Kalen’s also obtained 194 Clusters of Fire, 53 Clusters of Ice, and 54 Clusters of Graphite, again showing that every part of the club is getting supported in one form or another.

Then there’s all the writing this man has accomplished over the last month. He successfully write and complete 2 ACC matches, writing 1,489 words between these matches. However, he didn’t stop there he’s continued to be a proficient writer in RP’s as well, both as DM and as a participant, with over 18,000 words. Adding to that is the 5 regular Fictions he’s wrote, thus bringing the full total of words between the ACC, RP’s, and Fictions to 25,821 words TOTAL!!!

With everything here, I don’t see him slowing down any time in the near future, plus knowing his eagerness for working on projects, he’ll be gracing the Elder ranks in no time at all. It is with my greatest pleasure to congratulate Kalen for persevering and continuing his climbing as he’s earned more than the 12,500 XP to reach the rank of Equite 2. Congrats Kalen Joss! I can’t wait to see what you do next!

Tallulah Duncape has reached the required 1300 XP to reach the rank of Journeyman 2.

Syrena Valkar, 2025-09-24 02:24:21 UTC

Tally, Your a great friend, gamer and more importantly a even better person. You bring a lot of joy and fun to the club and I am honored to help you on your journey. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Ghost Edgar Drachen, 2025-09-23 23:49:37 UTC

Since Tally’s last promotion, she’s gone ahead and organized a competition, participated in 9 different gaming comps, earned herself 1 Diamond Crescent, and 21 Clusters of Fire.

Since joining, she’s been an active force within our community channels and has even taken it upon herself to hop into a Gaming Discord call from time to time. More than that, Tally is very kind and a true joy to talk to. I’m personally very glad to have her as a part of Clan Odan Urr and House Hoth.

Congrats on the rank up, Tally!

Seals has reached the required 23000 XP to reach the rank of Equite 3.

I would say that yeah, Seals has definitely managed to accrue the required experience for gaining the rank of Equite 3. I was gonna go into the boring metrics of it, but someone beat me to it so I get to just say pretty words for a bit.

Seals is one of those members that doesn't always talk a whole lot, but is always there waiting for you. Whether to talk about art, or games, or ACOTAR, Seals is always ready to share and share with a smile about the new favorite thing of the week. And it's always a fun ride. I've gotten to know them a bit since they came to us from Arcona and I can say that Seals is one of those rare folks who has fun and shares the joy of it freely.

Seals has shown that she isn't just an every so often member, but an all the time one. All the time on and ready to go. She's made her own waves in the Clan since joining us and she's starting to get awesome skills under her with the Herald's staff. I'm always proud of my members in everything they do and Seals is no exception. She goes after what she wants and always finds a way to succeed.

Congratulations, Seals. You've earned this and then some. I'll see you in the next one.

-Jack

Seals is by far one our most active members, and the work she puts in to supporting her Clan and the Club as a whole, reaches far beyond just activity. But, for some numbers anyways to start out: Seals has earned herself an Amethyst Kukri, a Gold Novae, many Crescents, 1365 Clusters of Fire, 25 Clusters of Ice, and 76 Clusters of Graphite. My. Goodness. And that’s just the start of it.

I also have the wonderful privilege of working with Seals as part of the Herald staff. She recently just wrapped up handling a weaponry request for another member, one that looks absolutely awesome, where she demonstrated her professionalism and pure talent as an artist. Seals is always supportive of those around her, has some amazing ideas, and is truly a joy to be able to work with.

More than that, Seals continues her wide reaching support in the club both directly in our clan, and House Hoth. Whether it’s jumping into a RP, or with participating and encouraging others to join in the comps… Such as with her weekly round up newsletters, to help us all stay informed in the Discord! Something that I simply can’t appreciate enough, because they greatly help me as well.

Speaking of Discord, Seals is a very active force within the gaming community, where she has both welcomed and encouraged others (such as myself with the game Dead by Daylight), to participate in the gaming fun.

I am beyond grateful to both have Seals as a friend, and for her presence as an all around amazing member in the club. Seals, a huge congrats on your promotion, and to many more adventures ahead! Thank you for all that you do!

Super Empathetic And Loveable

That must be what SEALS stands for. Definitely not the animal we go clubbing.

In all seriousness, Seals has continued to be a bastion of activity for the Brotherhood. Not just for herself, but in how she engages and creates activity for others and then gets them to want to take part in it. This is a unique skill that is not tangible in crescents or clusters. This is something that goes beyond any leadership or formal role, which I know she's crushing it as a Herald Staffer. Her optimism and kindness towards everyone is contagious and honestly makes the club a better place.

Many have climbed the ranks of the Equites, but few have been as deserving as Seals. Keep up the great work, but unfortunately for your next rank up...you're going to have to start talking to members of the DC without panicking.

Just kidding, but seriously, they're harmless.

John has been an active force within Odan-Urr and House Hoth, and is truly a joy to have around. I’ve had the privilege of getting to talk to both him and Tally who he joined with, and have been having lots of fun hanging with them in Gaming Chat.

John has earned himself 86 Clusters of Fire, a Crescent with Sapphire Star, and a Crescent with Emerald Star since his last promotion.

Since joining, he’s taken a leap into the Gaming community as a whole to interact with everyone there. I look forward to seeing John’s future adventures within House Hoth and the Brotherhood as a whole. Well done, John!

You're already beginning to make a name for yourself, GTbossters. I have heard reports from House Qel-Droma that you have managed to accumulate 5 XP.

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

I’m excited to recommend Blackhawk for promotion — a milestone he’s more than earned through his consistent contributions, steady presence, and the energy he’s brought to Clan Plagueis across so many different avenues of activity.

Since his last advancement, Blackhawk has thrown himself into the life of the club. He’s organized 3 competitions, co-organized another 4, and participated in an impressive 74 more. Out of those, he’s earned 13 placement awards, meaning he placed in about 18% of the competitions he entered. Those placements include a Gold Nova along with 12 Crescents: 1 Diamond, 3 Ruby, 5 Amethyst, 1 Sapphire, and 2 Emerald. That level of consistent success across events shows a member who doesn’t just participate, but competes and excels.

In addition to his competition placements, Blackhawk’s efforts have also been recognized with 2 Grand Crosses and 1 Anteian Cross. These awards highlight the breadth of his overall contributions across different stages of his career. Beyond those service recognitions, Blackhawk has earned a wide spread of activity awards that reflect his consistency and involvement: 1 Pendant of Blood, 496 Clusters of Fire, 19 Clusters of Ice, a Seal of Loyalty, 7 Seals of Wrath, and 2 Seals of Visions.

In addition to competition entries, Blackhawk has been just as dedicated across all realms of activity. In gaming, he’s logged over 80 activities, including 21 PvP matches. In fiction, he’s contributed more than 7,000 words through roleplaying, run-ons, and the ACC — including 5 roleplay sessions totaling 5,060 words and even stepping up as a DM for another 803. He’s also judged in the ACC, adding another layer of service to his record. What stands out most is that Blackhawk hasn’t limited himself to one corner of the Brotherhood. He’s advanced across 16 different society rank-ups, including with the ACC, Envoy Corps, Inquisitorius, Shroud Syndicate, and the GMRG. That breadth of engagement makes him a well-rounded and reliable member, one we can always count on no matter the arena.

In short, Blackhawk exemplifies the qualities we look for at this next stage: active, dependable, versatile, and committed to lifting the Clan forward. He’s shown time and again that he’s not just here for himself but for the success of the whole.

For all these reasons, I’m proud to recommend Blackhawk for promotion.
