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

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,

Brynjar Alpin,

Due to your exceptional work in the Shadow Academy and your participation in an Inquisitorius competition, you have earned enough XP to be promoted to Journeyman 3!

It is with great pride that I dub you a Padawan! Congratulations, my pupil! I look forward to watching your development in the future!

Meero has been a busy bunny since his last promotion. From earning second place in the Shadow Academy's declathon through the completion of six Shadow Academy courses, not only did he gather so much lore to keep between those ears but a shiny Crescent with a ruby star too! Though not only has Meero been active within the realms of the murky libraries of Arx but he's been making his debut out among the people, partipcating in a Trivia competition.

Alongside these efforts he's been making sure to keep his writing whiskers active, producing 1775 words of fiction across two roleplaying activities.

Though the numbers only speak so much to the kind, carrot-matic (like, charasmatic? eyy?) Kushibun-bun. He's been a wonderful presence in Arcona, encouraging, memeing, conversing and overall making the space feel oh so much fluffier to be within.

All that in mind, I'm happy to recommend Meero to the cusp of knighthood, Journeybun 3. I'm sure we'll be back here again all too soon.

It has only been four days since we were last here but in that time Erin has proven that they will keep pressing onward. Let us go over these numbers: They have been part of two gaming activities that raked in a whopping total of 90 clusters of fire as well as likely contributing to the gaming competition that they participated in. Never happy to settle for less than awesome, Erin earned a Amethyst star crescent for that competition.

Alongside their gaming activity they have also earned 2 clusters of ice from participating in a roleplaying activity. While Erin the character may be struggling with their place in the clan and in their found family, we have no doubts about that in terms of the person. You're doing great and I'm beyond pleased to recommend you up to Journeyman 2. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again very very soon!

Envoy Zuza Lottson, 2023-08-22 15:56:45 UTC

Erin, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed.

I will continue to watch your progress, Erin, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

May the Force guide you, Journeyman,

The thing that I like the most about being a genuine old fart of the DB is getting to watch people grow over the course of their careers here. Watching Neophytes become Journeymen and Journeymen become Equites. For most, that's the path they walk. For some, the truly excellent, that path has one more stop along the way: Equite to Elder. TuQ’uan Varick di Plagia, di Plagia, wearer of the hat, is one of the greatest members I have had the honor of serving with in my long career. From the day he got her he has exhibited nothing but the very best that can be expected from both a member and leader in the Brotherhood. He was so damn good that he actually warped Plagueis canon around him, as we had to fundamentally shift the place of NFU's within the Plagueis in-character culture because we had this NFU character in leadership and we knew he wasn't going anywhere any time soon.

The numbers since his last promotion 20 months ago have continued to show his high level of performance. 1 of every award (save a Grand Cross) between the Anteian Cross and Ruby Scepter, 335 competition entries, 163 competition crescents (placing at a 48.6% clip), 541 Clusters of Earth, 52 Clusters of Graphite, 2 Scrolls of Foundation, 1 Scroll of the Master, 26 Vendetta seals, a third place finish overall in Pro Bowl VI, second place in the Ascending Confederacy House Feud, third place in the Plagueis vs Taldryan Clan Feud, and first place overall in Pro Bowl VII. All in line with his lifetime numbers that I recently quoted in his Ruby Scepter recommendation in June. More important has been his leadership, stepping back into the role of Quaestor a week before the 2022 Pro Bowl and demonstrating the preternatural leadership ability that he showed as Proconsul and through his work serving on various DC staffs. Plagueis has a reputation for "showing up" when it really matters, and it's easy for an outsider (or even an insider really) to take for granted the fact that it continues to happen. The amount of work, however, that goes into this from the leadership of our Clan is absolutely monstrous and this burden falls most directly on the shoulders of our Quaestors. These are the closest level of the summit to the rank and file member and are the ones that are the "boots on the ground" so to speak. Since he came back to position of Quaestor, Plagueis has managed to hit or exceed a 66% participation rate in every major, scheduled event competition we have participated in. Without TuQ's work keeping his members informed via his monthly reports and engaged with some of the best one on one focus and time that I've ever seen in my over two decades in the Brotherhood, there is literally no way that our Clan would be anywhere near the levels of activity that we see today. As an illustration, I'll partially quote from the analysis on the Plaguies activity metrics sent to us from the Council: "Every summit member is producing content and opportunities for members to participate. That's the difference between a functioning unit and a thriving unit." At least for the Tyranus half of our Clan, that comes down to the work that TuQ'aun does every day.

TuQ's lifetime numbers stand him in good stead with those that have reached the rank of Elder within our club, but I was one who always knew that he was the kind of member that could one day reach that goal. While him being a sneeze short of the 60 thousand earned experience mark, having participated in 779 overall competitions, along with years of service to both Clan and Brotherhood might be what some people look at and judge him worthy of being an elder, I knew from the moment I met him that he was. It just took the time between then and now for TuQ to put up the numbers and service history that made it quantifiable. I have said for years that leadership in the brotherhood is about service not status, and there is none better at illustrating that than TuQ. As I said, I knew this man would be an elder someday from the moment I met him. I'm just happy to have been able to hang around long enough to be the one to write this recommendation when that day finally came.

Knight Elaine Conrat has reached the required 5000 XP to reach the rank of Equite 1.

In a day long anticipated Knight Elaine Conrat presented herself for elevation. Her patience had been rewarded as she entered the throne room she was shocked to find it empty except for a lowly aid.

“I was expecting Kamjin! A ceremony!,” Elaine pouted.

“Yes, of course,” the aid said, activating a view screen. The image of Kamjin, Emperor of the Scholae Palatinae empire floating in a Bacta tank appeared. As Elaine stared a stream of bubbles escalated his lips. “His excellency is extremely pleased with your progress and awaits eagerly your future promotions,” the aid translated as he deactivated the view screen. “Congratulations, move along,” he dismissed the bewildered new Warrior.
