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.

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!
