Lu'aisha Gresee is a member of whom I have heard little, but seen much. She has been present on both the DJB's Ventrilo Server and on IRC, and has completed no fewer than sixteen competitions since her last promotion. On top of this, she has blown the time requirement for the next rank out of the water, having spent no fewer than seven hundred and twenty days at the rank of Defender. To state the obvious, she deserves to be a Padawan, and more; in time, I look forward to her Knighting. Congratulations, Lu'aisha!

Needless to say, Marduss is a prime example of the type of active member and journeymen that we look for not only in Plagueis but in the Dark Jedi Broterhood as a whole. In the past short month he has been wholly active in getting his promotion requirements done. On top of that he has also been a steady, active member of the Clan. He was also recently highlighted as one of the top Shadow Academy exam takers coming in at #4 with a whopping 42 exams: averaging over 1 a day. This includes the leadership exams which are no small feat. All of these things show that Marduss is ready to take the next step as a journeymen, and is well on his way to knighthood with this level of activity he displays.

It feels like just yesterday that the Arcona Summit came together to write up a promotion for one of our most promising Knights: Celevon Edraven. Looking back, I can’t believe that was actually almost exactly 2 years ago. We’ve all grown and changed over time, and Celevon’s journey has been anything but typical.

After being promoted for good activity and taking initiative by creating a Battleteam from scratch (May 2012), Celevon went on to lead that team for another 6 months before stepping down (Nov 2012). In those 6 months he was an active contributor to the Arcona Summit by driving activity in not just his own members, but those around him. Feeling the need for change, Celevon transferred amiably over to help House Plagueis out. Starting as XO of Karness Murr for 7 months, he then progressed to Battleteam Leader before being tapped right away for the Rollmaster position. As Rollmaster, he was then responsible for taking over as interim Quaestor while a new leadership team was sought out. Once the House was secured with a new team, Celevon stepped down and left the way open for the new members that were starting to flock to the House-on-the-rise.

That’s the type of leader Celevon is. He’s not loud and in your face, but he’s steady and reliable and always willing to do what’s best for his team. Shortly after his trip to the rogues, Celevon transferred back into Arcona where he was a full participant in Clan activities, earning merit for taking 10th place (out of 34th) in Operation: Sojourn. When Dark Forge was looking for an XO, Celevon knew that his experience could be of help, and bravely stepped up to assist with the team for a month. He did so well in his support role, that we decided to bring him over to House Qel-Droma to take over Shadow Phyle. Shortly after, when we realized the team was not working out as intended, he again volunteered to step up and take over Battleteam Arete, lending Timeros a hand with Arcona’s unique, ACC-centric team. Through it all his patience, temperament, and willingness to help our members (young and old) is a testament to what he’s gone through in his time in the Brotherhood.

TL;DR: Celevon has served in multiple leadership roles over the course of his two years as an Obelisk Templar. 1 Dark Cross, 3 Anteian Cross’, and 2 Steel Cross’ speak to his activity as both a member and leader. In my eyes, there are few more deserving of the rank of Equite 2. And so, I humbly request the elevation of Celevon Edraven to Obelisk Prelate.

Congratulations, Cel2, you’ve earned it.

Consul of Clan Arcona

Ever since Celevon returned to Arcona, he has hit the ground running, organising competitions and working hard to take leadership of one of our fledgeling battle teams, and using his experience to help our newer leaders find their place and develop. His long time in numerous leadership positions within Palgueis and Arcona, 9 months in Palgueis alone, has given him a wealth of experience he has freely divulged to strengthen the entirety of Qel-Droma.

Celevon has been a powerhouse of activity, leading his fellow Arconans by example by participating in numerous competitions and receiving a number of awards for his efforts. He’s always present and eager to talk, be it in email, IRC, or whatsapp. Celevon has been a pillar of the Qel-Droma community for the short time he has been here, and, for that reason, I’d be honoured to recommend him for promotion to Obelisk Prelate.

Quaestor of House Qel-Droma

While Celevon was still a part of the Ascendant House/Clan, he was an important asset to the unit and was key to getting Plagueis where it is today. Among his many contributions was his assistance in getting Battleteam (now House) Karness Muur up and running. He helped develop the fictional aspects, write the wiki articles, and do all sorts of other things to bring the team online. Without his assistance, the process wouldn’t have gone nearly as well. Celevon also showed great flexibility through several leadership changes that Plagueis endured in his time there. He was always willing to step into whatever role we needed him to fill.

Beyond all that, Celevon was also an active contributor in competitions. He submitted to 22 events during the Crusade and took home 4 novae. Beyond that he helped drive activity, particularly from our journeymen. Combined with what else he has done, I feel that he more than deserves this promotion.
