Jasru Lakca has been on a steady pace of activity since his last promotion in early December, rapidly earning the required amount of 2500 XP. Now, the impressiveness of his accession to Captain (JM4) is not only reflected in the Steel Cross awarded shortly after his last promotion but also in the more than 40 competitions he has successfully participated in. Jasru’s performance in those competitions secured him 3 Clusters of Graphite and 3 different Crescents, including a Ruby, Sapphire, and a Quartz star for his efforts.

Jasru has also continued his advancement of knowledge through the Shadow Academy by passing 2 more courses. Along with his wonderfully ever inquisitive nature on Discord, I’m sure this is not going to be the end of his ever increasing want for knowledge.

It is my honor to salute Jasru Lakca in his promotion to Captain. Well done soldier, I see a bright future ahead of you as you Adapt to new experiences, Ascending ever further through the ranks, thus Availing within Clan Plagueis.

You're already beginning to make a name for yourself, Cryovix Poleris. I have heard reports from Clan Odan-Urr that you have managed to accumulate 5 XP.

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,

Luka Zarkot was here.. quite literally a year ago recieving their last promotion and wow have they been busy. Participating in 239 competitions (39 of which containers), they wasted no effort in their entries. Overall, including the 11 competitions they did during the war that bagged them 11 Seals of Transendence, Luka has gathered 1 Crescent with a Diamond Star, 3 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 7 Amethyst, 17 of Sapphire, 7 Emerald, 4 Topaz and 1 Quartz. That is 40 placements which is brilliant, frankly.

But I'd be remiss to linger on the competitions when Luka has been up to so much more. Even as one of Arcona's more quiet shadows, they have managed to accrue 27 gaming activities for an incredible 320 Clusters of Earth. Alongside that, in 11 Fiction activities they earned 51 Clusters of Ice, the majority of which coming from their 7 roleplays that they managed to write over 20k words across. Between all of this, 31 Clusters of Graphite and 28 SA courses (3 degrees), Luka scored themselves 14 Society rank ups over the last year.

All of this doesn't cover the comedic timing, consistent and pleasant presence that is Luka. Others can speak to this better but I'm proud to be able to see you through to EQ3 Luka. Enjoy the editing of all of your character sheets!

Well, it feels like yesterday when I wrote a medal recc praising Luka as one of our powerhouses and gave a veiled challenge to surprise me. They certainly came through in that regard. Less than 48h later, I get to write another recommendation. Luka is one of those members who’s always around, lurking in the shadows of Discord, ready to pop up and say something when you least expect it. Usually insightful or amusing, it’s always worth it to pay attention to a conversation they have chosen to participate in or are seen jumping in on. You’ll either laugh to yourself or learn something. As others have undoubtedly attested to, Luka is a veritable whirlwind of energy. I doubt there is any type of activity they haven’t dipped their toe into, then jumped in to win a medal or two (or more). Luka’s kind, funny, and helpful personality, together with his endless energy and wide ranging interests serve as an inspiration to anyone fortunate enough to interact with them.

Luka, I’m proud to be able to contribute to your promotion to the third Equite rank. Enjoy playing around with the new unlocks on the Character Sheet, Dossier, etcetera. Congratulations!

Once a fire gem miner, Luka Zarkot has shown over and over again just the multi-faceted jewel that they are. And that good things come to shape with time. From creative works in art and writing to gaming and flexing spatial recognition with puzzle solving. Within the past year, they had doubled the amount of comps they participated in, accounting for fifty-six percent of all their participation! They had collaborated with other members to worldbuild and forge character relations. Joining into Pazaak games, they added to the camaraderie and merriment of the gathering. Recently, Luka had helped organized some lethal company gameplay with fellow clanmates. While they are not as talkative as some of their clanmates, Luka can be found sharing like interests with peers, commenting and appreciating fellow artists' works, congratulating clanmates, and sharing their sincerity to those dealing with illness or rough days.

I am honored to have mentored you through your earlier Brotherhood journey and doubly so to be able to share in recognizing this achievement! Congratulations, Luka Zarkot, for being promoted to Equite 3!!!

Zyrethi Armis, 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, Zyrethi Armis, 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,

It has been a busy year for this red furred Shistavanen! Since his previous promotion nigh on exactly one solar rotation ago, he has gone on to solidify his name among House Qel-Droma’s veteran members.

Having organized 11 competitions alongside a co-hosting, Archian has partaken in 161 competitions during the year! That’s a lotta comps! For all of these efforts, he’s been rightfully awarded aplenty, showing that he is not only an active member, but a skilled one to boot!

Amongst his accolades can be counted an Amethyst Kukri, a Sapphire Blade, a Grand Cross, a Steel Cross and a Dark Cross, as well as a Silver Nova for his exemplary performance during the previous Great Jedi War, during which he earned 10 Seals of Transcendence.

In addition to these outstanding awards, he’s gotten his paws on a pair of Ruby Crescents, nine Amethysts, twelve Sapphires, five Emeralds, three Topazes and a quartet of the elusive Quartz variety. On the Clustery front, he has produced enough literature to form a small iceberg with 78 Clusters of the frigid variety, laid a solid groundwork with 35 of the Earthen variety, and finished off his Graphite model with 60 carbons.

For the better part of the year, eight months in fact, Archian served dutifully as my Aedile, aiding in the running of the House, collating performance data, hyping up activity, and helping me maintain the House reporting schedule. I was saddened to see him go, but a man must put his pack before all other things—which is something I truly appreciate about him.

Archian is a kind and caring soul, both in and out of character. He wishes for everyone to get along and to make sure nobody is left behind. He is loyal, diligent, and patient. He does not make a number of himself, or expect praise or reward for his actions, but always seeks to ensure everyone is having a good time and are taken care of.

During the recently tumultuous moments in Arcona’s Summit, he effortlessly acted as if he were still Aedile, calming emotions and acting as a rock amidst the storm so newer members might not feel afraid or be cast adrift. No-one asked this of him, and yet he did so without hesitation, displaying that a member may stop being in leadership, but not being a leader.

As a member rises through the ranks of the Equites, it is expected they grow and mature, beginning to shape the Club around them and leaving a legacy of their own. Though I suspect Archian did not set off with any intention of doing so, I can say he has achieved that nonetheless and left his pawprint in all our hearts.

With great gratitude for all your hard work, and with the best wishes for your future endeavors, I am proud and honored to recommend Archian be promoted to the rank of Corsair.

I really had some big shoes to fill... but Archian didn't wear any shoes. That's how powerful they left their legacy. Their leadership was seen once again when we hit a rocky path with Arcona for a moment and it inspired me. Thank you for your presence, it was needed.

I love Archian's passion of creatures in DJB and canon-wise, even though we do get a bit concerned with how worried they are about Rancors.

Congratulations on the rank up! If only we can give you a nice big shiny bucket.
