I have had the honor to mentor Kelviin to this very moment. From the very first day, I could see the wonderful potential he could give — it was kinda blinding the light pouring out of him. Our friendly neighborhood Wookie has always been kind, welcoming, and helpful towards his fellow Arconans, Gamers, Artists, and more. A zealous gamer, an artist, and a comedic are just a dip into what marks Kelviin’s unique contribution and explains his infectious positivity.

Since his last promotion, Kelviin has participated in 16 competitions earning himself 2 Crescents with Amethyst Star and 1 Crescent with Emerald Star. He has gathered 73 Clusters of Fire and snagged 6 Clusters of Graphite from his endeavors. The Wookie has accidentally ripped arms off in 3 PvE activities and 1 PvP match. Kelviin’s earnest work has rewarded him with a Dark Cross for his efforts. His gaming prowess has promoted him to GMRG IV! Not only that, but Kelviin hasn’t shied away from character development, having created a wiki page for the Wookie. He also has written 1,500 words of character fiction in his time as a Journeyman, some of which from participating in the Ruby Tavern RO on Discord for the Arconan Journeymen. Another fun side accomplishment is his sticker creation craze that started with Kelviin but has expanded for a couple fellow clanmates.

Kelviin is truly the Try-hard Wookie, and for that I recommend his promotion to Knighthood. Thank you for allowing me the chance to mentor you and for your hard work! To the stars with ya! mimics RRRRrrrhghhh!

It's my joy today as his Consul to watch Kelviin - also Alex, and the spoopy Wookiee - rise to Knighthood. Kelviin is an unfailingly positive and delightful presence in the family that is our Clan, talkative and encouraging day in and day out. He makes stickers upon request and spreads joking and warmth to everyone around him just to get smiles, and it's that sort of invaluable attitude that really makes a worthwhile member of this club beyond just an active gamer, writer, and producer, across clan boundaries and well beyond, as others will tell you. He's an active and forceful presence especially in the graphics community and its budding society, always promoting art and happy to run competitions or help with small Photoshop lessons, and he does it all hoping just to help.

My grandprentice, thank you for all you've done, and congrats on your new rank. You earned it. I only look forward to seeing just how far you'll go, because I'm sure it will be far indeed.

Kelviin came into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood not really knowing what to expect. Despite this uncertainty, he dove right into the fray and took everything into his optimistic stride. Between developing his character, engaging with members, and exploring his artistic abilities, Kelviin has been a positive boost to the energy of not just Clan Arcona, but to the Art, Gaming, and Writing communities that make up the backbone of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This energy comes through in the form of Kelviin offering to help or give advice when it comes to gaming configurations, sharing tips and tricks that have helped him, or commenting and offering assistance with artistic software like photoshop. He’s designed stickers for a few members of the club, drawn character art, shared it, and encouraged others to do the same. His cheerful energy is contagious and I think he will go on to be a very impactful member of our club and organization, with the sky as his limit (well, a high ceiling since, Wookie). Congratulations on this milestone achievement, Alex. I’m so happy you’ve become a part of the Brotherhood and look forward to seeing what you do next.

And since I’m sure he’d disown me for not including a pun in here: I guess you could say that he did it all...for the Wookie (come on!).

Plaid has been on an impressive streak lately, showing major improvement in several areas.

He has recently joined both the ACC and the Inquisitorius, having passed the relevant exams, as well as improving his Shadow Academy rank. He has also performed approved work on his character history and written several hundred words of character fiction for approval.

Keep it up, Plaid!

Rulvak Qurroc is the kind of leader and member I wish I could clone and put into place whenever and wherever we need them. If asked, there is not a task he won’t take on, be it via participation, training, or simply being a significant voice of reason among his House and Summit. I will detail below his activity as others expand on his exploits, but overall, we want to thank you for all you have done, Rulvak, and are honored to see you continue to rise within the ranks of the Brotherhood.

To begin with, Rulvak earned the honor of a Sapphire Blade for his outstanding activity and leadership within his House and his contributions to the Brotherhood as a whole through gaming. He has also earned a Steel Cross for his work within Arcona's Clan event, Fall of Scepter, for participation and activity with a Dark Cross to follow it up. Beyond these awards, his activity continues explosively with having earned (12 Cr-D, 27 Cr-R, 28 Cr-A, 10 Cr-S, 4 Cr-E, 3 Cr-T, 1 Cr-Q) crescents, 12 Pendants of Blood, 4300 Clusters of Fire, 4 Clusters of Ice, 4195 Clusters of Earth, 3 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Scroll of the Master, 9 News Posts, organized 24 competitions, 12 co-organized and 213 participated, while completed 63 PvP activities and 613 PvE, with 10 Courses passed and 4 degrees earned.

This immense level of activity, coupled with his willingness to lead, is the example he sets and that he never seems to slow down on. I am glad to be able to honor Rulvak with a promotion to Battlelord.

I will never be able to say enough good things about Rulvak. When I stepped out of Nighthawk to wrangle the Journeymen, I knew Warp had everything covered. The guy is a phenomenal leader and an activity-generating madman. If there's more active gamers in the Brotherhood who are also social and helpful to other members, I'd be amazed. One of the best parts about stepping back into leadership in Galeres has been knowing that I'd get to work with Warp again; even with him stepping down as a BTL, I know he'll be around and helpful. I am pleased to help recognize him for his work and achievements, and am incredibly proud to call him Battlelord!

There has been a change happening in Arcona for a little while now. Years ago when I was first a Battle Team Leader, we had our little playground with either a mentor as Battle Team Sergeant or an elder member from outside the team mentoring us. We provided for our team’s members but didn’t do much beyond our team. Nowadays, our Battle Team Leaders are much more alike to our Aediles. They get, where possible, responsibilities beyond the usual set that’s to be expected of a Battle Team Leader, as others have mentioned they provide content on Clan and Brotherhood level.

Rulvak in this case leads by example: his willingness to provide others with a fun environment, to teach, listen and aid wherever possible, combined with his easygoing attitude, yet being strict when it comes to reports etc. I have had the pleasure to run a multitude of Arcona Gaming Dominance competitions with Warp and he’s always on point whether it comes to creating and brainstorming about what the members would like to see or promoting and judging these competitions. His DB-Wide Destiny competition was so much of a success that I ran one with similar parameters.

All in all Rulvak was a great and successful Battle Team Leader. He is a great member and good friend and I wholeheartedly believe this promotion is very much deserved!

Congratulations Warp! You earned it!

I had the pleasure of having Rulvak, or Warp, as a leader on my Summit for over a year, 10 months of which were since his last promotion. Warp served as the Captain of the Nighthawk quietly but efficiently and dedicatedly. He consistently delivered his reports on time, providing relevant information and setting the agenda for the coming month in them. As a mentor, he continued to challenge his then-Battleteam Sergeant, Shawnathan, to complete his duties in a timely fashion, produce and brainstorm content for the team and Clan, and be an active member of the club. To the rest of his team, Warp was a line in a storm, their stable and constant leader through and through. That didn't change even when he elected to retire at last. Warp has still been a constant and vocal presence in problem-solving sessions within the Summit and particularly within Galeres as we resettle the House during tumultuous leadership changes and plan to reinvent both it and its Battleteams. He provides detailed suggestions for mentorship and House fiction and has never once ceased to be a positive advisor and an exponentially productive member.

For these things, for his dedication and continued service, not just as a leader but now as a brother, we thank him. For these things, we congratulate him. Welcome to Equite III, Warp. You've earned it.
