Atyiru Caesura Entar is one of the finest leaders and members this club has ever had. Period. Atty has blended the roles of peacekeeper, mentor, unifier, and confidant into a unique leadership style that serves as a guiding light for Clan Arcona. Her reign as Consul is unheralded in the history of our club in terms of both Clan success and unique participation by individual members.

It is not often that I provide this form of praise to our members, but Atty is deserving of my recognition and that of our entire club. It is easy for an outsider to look at Arcona and simply shrug their dominance off to the quality of their members, but we should always remember it takes a leader to hold things together. Arcona has enjoyed a period of achievement and growth that was only made possible by the guiding hand of their Consul. Atty's service as an EQ3 is unparalleled and she is deserving of the promotion to Augur.

Congratulations Atty. Thank you for all you have done for Arcona and our Club.

Grand Master Pravus

Over the last year, Atyiru has been an exemplary Consul and a skilled and active member. Following a lull after the Great Jedi War, Arcona has been first or second in virtually every category on our unit report for more than a year, from active participants to Clusters of Fire to competitions organized. Since October of last year, Arcona is the only unit in the club to have at least fifty unique members participating in at least one competition, and they did it every single quarter since then. While Arcona is large, this still makes for a participation ratio close to 70% every single quarter, a testament to how Atyiru has shepherded her unit through one Clan event after another, and Arcona’s members are not just doing a single competition and calling it a quarter: The average number of competition entries in the unit per quarter is over 900. Atyiru herself has organized 16 competitions and co-organized 14; these are not the most prolific numbers, but they don’t tell the whole story, as under Atyiru, last quarter Arcona ran more than 90 competitions (not including those run by DC Staff members). Atyiru fosters an environment where Arconans, from battle team member to Quaestor, are encouraged to create content for the unit and for the club. As Uji describes below, Atyiru is actively engaged with every event on a leadership level, whether she is an organizer or not. Her leadership has been recognized with an Amethyst Kukri.

Atyiru’s personal activity is also impressive; she has participated in more than 80 competitions, earned more than 300 Clusters of Fire, and 150 clusters of Ice since her last promotion. She’s also been amount our first members to earn a Cluster of Graphite. Not just active, but also incredibly skilled, Atyiru has earned more than fifty crescents in the competitions she has participated in.

All of that, and Atyiru still contributes to the Brotherhood at large. A regular participant in various character sheet related endeavors, the Combat Master awarded Atyiru a Dark Cross and an Anteian Cross for two separate projects she assisted with. She is one of the founding members of the Art Club, which has grown interest in Brotherhood art without our organization considerably. She regularly participates in discussions with the Dark Council. She even found time to recruit and mentor a new member to the club!

Atyiru is among our most recognizable and respected members. Her activity across all mediums is impressive, her leadership of her clan is exceptional, and she still finds time to contribute to the Brotherhood at large. She more than deserves this promotion to EQ4. Congratulations, Atyiru!

Since his last promotion Solas Night-Thorn has been a busy bee. He has participated in 32 competitions for which he has earned 18 Crescents of various types. A great writer, he managed to earn no less than 32 Clusters of Ice for a whopping number of words, 9700.

But Solas doesn't play for himself only. Since his last promotion, he has been leading one of Tarentum's most successful units, The Nekros Syndicate Battleteam, for no less than 9 months now. Since then, Solas has organized 8 competitions, reported 3 times. Solas has also organized the BT into fictional ranks with leaders for their three subunits and maintains a great wiki page for the BT. He has also mentored a incredible member, Tahiri Drakon, to the rank of Knight. Tahiri is currently one of our up and coming rockstars and Solas had a big part in her mentoring.

On top of all of that, Solas has found time to help the Herald Staff as a Magistrate. He has 7 months and counting since he's been on the Staff. The Herald speaks highly of him and has even awarded him a Grand Cross for the work he has done.

I think Solas is more than ready to ascend to the ranks of Equites. This promotion has been long time coming for him. Congratulations, my friend!

Frosty Romanae Tarentae, 2016-09-01 08:34:18 UTC

I was appointed Rollmaster after Solas Night-Thorn grew through the early ranks and became a Knight. Even if I was in this position in his early ranks, I would not have been of any use to him. Solas simply has/knows all it takes.

Solas has not only embraced everything the Brotherhood has to offer, he's one of the members who are molding our future. He has passed on his knowledge to his two students, blackhawk and Tahiri, who are at their turn two of Tarentum's most active members.

The members of Nekros Syndicate look up to Solas, as their Leader, and I'm pretty sure there are others who envy him for everything he has already achieved.

Solas Night-Thorn has done some great work... as active member of Tarentum, as Battleteam Leader of Nekros Syndicate AND as Magistrate to the Herald.

You earned this. Big time!

Ranarr Kul-Tarentae, 2016-09-01 08:33:39 UTC

Solas has been really coming into his own as a leader over the past eight months, leading his Nekros Syndicate while at the same time doing a huge amount of work as a Magistrate to the Herald. He has participated in over thirty competitions, sponsored eight, and brought home a number of medals including a Grand Cross. He has taken part in six battles in the ACC since his last promotion, including two against me in which he definitely gave me a run for my money. His writing skills are getting better all the time, and he has done a good job asking various members of the Clan for help to keep improving. The advancement from Knighthood into the Equites is where a member should be starting to give back to their Clan in the form of leadership, mentorship and of course participation, and I am pleased to say that Solas has taken his role to heart. He has been in the Clan's spotlight for some time already, but lately has been helping to guide his own student into it as well. For all of these reasons I am pleased to recommend Solas for advancement into the ranks of the Equites.

Xolarin is one of those members who you know is going to not only go far in the DB, but also do his best to make it better. Since his last promotion, he has been active within the Clan Telegram channel, and he’s participated in 6 competitions and placed in one of those. He’s also been very active in the Shadow Academy, including reaching SA Society Rank 7, completing 10 courses and 2 degrees since his last promotion. These courses include 4 from the Department of Leadership. In addition to this, Xolarin has taken to writing, producing at least 2000 words of quality character fiction.

Beyond this, he helped me review, create, and update several of Battle-team Zirael’s wiki pages. He’s also currently running his own competition, showing not only initiative, but creativity. In the last few days, he has taken over my previous role of Battle-team Leader of Zirael, and I cannot help but look forward to what he brings to the table. Xolarin is one of the most capable members I know at the moment, and I am proud to call him a friend. Congratulations, Padawan Xolarin. Here’s to the future!

Corvus Corax, 2016-08-29 22:05:53 UTC

It seems that not a day goes past where I do not hear about you, Hoya Sprun. Your superiors have sent glowing records regarding your accomplishments, which include:

• Join Telegram or IRC, and visit Clan Channel
• Participate in 1 competition
• Pass 4 Shadow Academy courses from the (Novitiate Hall) department(s)

An expedited recommendation for your promotion has been transmitted to the Master-at-Arms.

Alethia Achenksova, better known as Arch, has been a pinnacle of activity and dedication in Clan Odan Urr since his last promotion. It has been my distinct honor to have Arch as my Aedile for the past seven months. In his duties as Aedile he has played an integral role in both the formation as well of completion of several projects we have undertaken. These projects include the maintaining of our House wiki, the creation of and wikifying of our new planet Daleem. Both of these have required Arch to actively participate in idea generating discussions with other project members while drafting out designs and editing to fit the direction of the project. Also Arch has assisted in the creation of and running of our recent House vs. House event Battle Formations. Arch has also spent the past seven months as an ACC Judge, which our combat master will cover below.

Arch is not just a hard worker in positions and for projects, he is an active member as well. Since his last promotion Arch has organized four competitions while participating in 77 competitions. This has earned him 7 Crescents with Ruby Star, 14 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 10 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 1 Crescent with Topaz Star, and 1 Crescent with Quartz Star. Quite the haul of Crescents for his trophy wall. Competitions are not the only thing in which Arch participates in. He is also an active gamer with 8 PvP matches and 3 PvP activities under his belt and earning 186 Clusters of Fire and 121 Clusters of Earth.

Arch also enjoys writing fiction. He has written for 6 fiction activities consisting of 6657 words of fiction, and earning 17 Clusters of Ice for his efforts. I have found myself relying on Arch to proof every piece of fiction that I write these days.

In addition to all of this, Arch has earned himself 1 Grand Cross of the Darkside, and 1 Dark Cross. Both of which our combat master will detail below. To finish up his extensive list of awards, Arch has earned 1 Scroll of Indoctrination and 4 Scrolls of Foundation.

Arch has also demonstrated a thirst to continue learning as he has passed 16 Shadow Academy courses earning himself 5 degrees.

To say that is has been an honor and privilege to work closely with Arch as my Aedile is an understatement. I have watched him learn and grow these past seven months to become the amazing leader and role model for Clan Odan Urr and House Satele Shan that he is today. He has become a confidant and good friend as well. Arch, it is with great pride that I write this recommendation for your promotion to Equite 2. Keep up the good work and I know that soon we will be writing another of these for you.

I must have done some great things in a past life to deserve someone like Arch on my summit. Others have covered his specific accomplishments in exhaustive detail but I would like to discuss the value that someone of his dedication, maturity and professionalism brings to a volunteer organization like ours. I can easily say that House Shan and the Clan as a whole are better places because of Arch’s service and leadership. One need only look to his impressive accomplishments to see the truth of that statement. Along with his Quaestor Mako, Arch has almost completely remade House Shan into a beacon of activity and fictional development that will continue for the foreseeable future. The impact he has had is a mark of a true leader and that is why his elevation with the equite ranks is long overdue.

Congrats my friend,

Turel Sorenn

A few days after being hired to serve as an ACC Judge, Archen was promoted to the rank of Equite 1. In the seven months of service since then, Archen has been one of the most active ACC Judges on staff. To that end, I’ve contributed to a Grand Cross for his work as a Judge and then later awarded him a Dark Cross for his work on the Lightsaber Combat Exam.

Since the last time I awarded him on metrics alone, Archen has marked 2 Qualification Exams and graded 6 ACC Matches. With any given match taking at least 45 minutes (minimum/typical estimate) to grade, this keeps him healthy and on track with the rest of the Judging staff.

Beyond this, Archen engages in discussion on both Telegram and Email chains whenever I ask for feedback from my team. This often manifests itself in the form of discussing Character Sheet mechanics and logistics, as well as other fictional additions to the system. He was invaluable for his contributions to the naming and logistics of ** Martial Arts Forms** revamp. He was also heavily involved in the NFU NPC project, where he proofed and provided content for the creation of the new unique Feats.

Archen is an important part of the ACC Staff. I appreciate having him as a subordinate, and it’s been a pleasure to work and continue to work with him on projects. Congratulations on this promotion, buddy. You earned it.
