The Togruta thumbed the cold, dull durasteel of his armory hilt nervously. Lexiconus had stood on the bridge of the Shadow, but the Eye of the Abyss was quite a different beast. Imperial Star Destroyers were intended to be imposing both to those who faced it in battle and those who served within its hull. It reminded them of their place in the order of things.

The order of things.

Nikola Valtiere, the Torguta’s Quaestor and master, stood at the bow end of the bridge alongside the Consul of Arcona himself, Marick Arconae. The two seemed to be in conversation when Valtiere noticed his apprentice standing at the the bridge’s stern. He whispered something to the Consul, then waved Lexiconus toward them.

The Togruta obeyed his master and strode with purpose toward the two men. He stopped about ten feet from his superiors and looked them both in the eye before bowing his head slightly. “Master. Eminence.”

The Shadow Lord looked Lexiconus up and down then frowned. “This one?”

The Quaestor turned his head and locked his eyes firm with his apprentice. “Yes, Consul.”

Marick nodded and lowered his eyes for a moment before raising them again, staring deep into the Togruta’s eyes. He shook his head. “I’m sorry it has to be like this.”

The Jedi Hunter’s eyes widened slightly, enough that both men were able to see the hint of fear that appeared. This is it. This is how it ends.

Valtiere began to chuckle to himself. “We’re not going to kill you, my young apprentice.”

Marick allowed a grin. “I just meant that there isn’t going to be much of a ceremony, what with most of our Clan fighting on Begeren.” He took a step toward the teenager. “Lexiconus, today you are born again. Today you join Arcona proper. Today you become a Knight.”

Lexiconus smiled despite himself and bowed deeply to the Consul. “Thank you, Shadow Lord.” When he raised his head, he noticed the glint of durasteel in Marick’s hand.

“This is your lightsaber. Take it and join the ranks of Arcona’s Dark Jedi Knights.”

Every Knight is different, and each comes to us with a unique set of passions, talents, and goals. Lexiconus came in with a passion for writing, and promptly threw himself at all manner of fiction competitions, whilst also hitting the Shadow Academy hard in an effort to learn everything about the Brotherhood that there is too learn. As the days passed, he soon found himself coming into his own in the Antei Combat Center, where he’s demonstrated incredible potential, and is likely to be an integral part of the Arconan ACC teams of the future.

Lexic has been an exciting and invigorating addition to our Clan, and continues to be a sparkplug for activity and an enthusiastic source of encouragement for Arconans young and old. He’s the sort of versatile contributor that all Brotherhood members should aspire to be, and I could not be more excited to watch where his talents and drive take him in our club.

Congratulations on becoming an Arconan Knight, Lexic, and thanks for all that you’ve contributed thus far!

I am delighted to declare that the time has come for Lexiconus to join the ranks of Arcona’s Dark Jedi Knights. Since joining a few weeks ago he has proven a consistent source of activity.

For example, he has taken part in an excellent eight competitions, these being : Sentence Run-On, Maximum Brevity Series 8: Despatch, Toss the turtle!, May the 4th be with you: Fiction, May the Fourth Be With You 2014: GFX, Maximum Brevity Series 9: A perfect kill, [Arcona] ACB 2014 Pilot - June and A New Era of Monsters, managing also to place in two of these. He has also co-organised his own competition, Jedi’s Best Friend, which was run with great success as a DB-wide competition.

Lexiconus has also been impressive in the Shadow Academy, reaching Rank IV within the society, not only passing both leadership exams but also obtaining five Dark Mavens and a Dark Savant degree.

Character development has also proven a strength, with Lexic managing over 3,000 words of character fiction, in addition to a Wiki article deemed ‘quality’ by staffer Aiden Kincaid. His work in the Wiki includes assisting the summit by generating a table of information detailing how many shades each Arconan is entitled to. This crucial work saved the upper summit literally hours of trawling through data.

Finally, he has obtained the requisite merit award, this being an Anteian Cross, and has been a Jedi Hunter for the necessary 28 days.

Congrats, Lexic. With your expertise in saber forms, I know you’re going to enjoy your new toy. ;)

I am delighted to announce that Lexiconus is now eligible for promotion to the rank of Jedi Hunter. Since joining only a few weeks ago he has proven to be a perfect example for any Journeyman to follow.

Firstly, he is now a regular in #arcona, where he is among the more talkative members, often starting or joining in with all sorts of topics of conversation. He has also been seen on the DB's voice server.

His competition activity has been second to none, having already taken part in no less than six competitions, managing to place in two of these. Also impressive has been his activity within the Shadow Academy, allowing him to not only obtain the 3rd rank within the SA Society, but also passing both leadership courses, showing a potential interest in future leadership.

Character development has also proven important, with Lexiconus writing over 2,000 words of character fiction.

Finally, he has been at the rank of Guardian for the requisite 21 days.

Congrats, Lexic. Now push on for that saber. ;)
