Primary reason

Ever since his return to to the Brotherhood, Morrighan has been a bastion of activity. I have had the pleasure of speaking with him on numerous occasions, and his dedication and ability go a long way to establish him as a key member of our clan.

I'll allow my peers to elaborate on his exploits, but let me say that this man is a talented gamer, writing, and all-round member. I am honoured to have him as a part of Arcona, and I see great things in store for him in the future.

~Wuntila Arconae. Consul. Clan Arcona.


I am honoured to be recommending Morrighan for his first ever Grand Cross. His level of activity lately has been on top form, trying to get himself involved in anything that comes his way. Including the 2013 Independence Games. He continues to ask for work to do inside of the House and always tries to get involved in anything he can.

Morrighan made an admirable appearance by scoring a first place spot and placing in the top three of two of the fifteen competitions he participated in, including: Toribashin' It Up, Climb!, Titan Throw, As the light fades from your eyes, Strippers Are People Too..., Exodus Scramble, Who Said That, Online Mission, Six for Ten, Inspiration on Bald Mountain, Dirty Dozen, Caption Combat, Acronym Fun, What they REALLY should have said, Death Star, Tractor Beam, X-Wing, The Antei Contract Bureau

Though he also continues to work outside of the Independence Games, helping myself and Sanguinius with organising small things that make our life easier, the best example was the results of the Independence Games, he helped us lay it out in a format that we would be able to easily work from. So for all of his hard work inside and outside of the IG’s, his constant level of activity in gaming as well in which he has been a constant level of activity inside of the Arcona Flashpoint Group. Stepping up when we needed a healer and taking on the role without complaining or without fuss.

Congratulations on this Grand Cross of the Dark Side and I look forward to continue to see your work inside of Clan Arcona and House Galeres, Morrighan.

Cethgus Tiberius Entar Arconae Aedile of House Galeres


Morrighan recently returned to us from the Rogues and swiftly secured Dark Jedi Knight within a few days of doing so. He has asked constantly to have stuff to do to help the the House and is always trying to help me in my job as a Quaestor. He kicked arse in the IGs and is a model example of a Galerean. Give him a Grand Cross already! Congrats, Morrighan.

It is always good to see when a person really presses their nose to the grindstone. Seriously, it is sweet when you see how much a person is willing to prove their dedication in their Clan's time of need. Kojiro is one of six Sadowans who stepped up during the recently finished Great Jedi War by participating in all the bins of the War. More than that, Kojiro participated in the full 27 competitions that he was elligible to participate in during this period. Which, though I suppose this goes without saying, means he earned 27 Seals he can earn to his trophy case. Adding to this excellence, in taking part in the Run-on portion of the War, he earned himself a Bronze Nova alongside his RO team. This not an unimpressive feat.

Even his recent large-scale event activity, Koji has remained busy. He has led House Marka Ragnos in two seperate capacities over eight months since his last promotion- spending two months as the Aedile of his House and acting as Quaestor over the last six months. In this time he has organized 16 comps for the Clan and remained active in his own competitive corner, taking part in 48 competitions on his own- bagging a Crescent with Sapphire Star for his work. Despite his own busy real life, he has tried to keep the House informed and entertained as he was able. It is notable that in addition to his successful Below Zero event, he also run a smattering of other little competitions. He has also visited the Shadow Academy on a few occasions over the last few months, passing 4 degrees and adding 2 degrees to his record.

Koji has continued to game, draw and write since his last promotion, having earned 12 Clusters of Fire, 402 Clusters of Earth, 7 Pendants of Blood (over Star Conflict, Battlefront and Destiny), 25 Clusters of Ice, 16 Clusters of Graphire and a single Legion of the Scholar. I do want to stress, that gaming is not all that he does, it just seems to be a rather focused little bit with 5 PVP matches and 29 PVE activities. He has taken to written combat with 5 battles in the ACC and toward crafting narratives and stories. He has spun out 3129 words over 5 fiction activities. Though, his true excellence could be seen as he helped create 3 posts in the GJW XII RO thread, contributing 1689 words to help his team take third place. I could continue to gas on about his accomplishments, but the man's actions speak for themselves.Kojiro has also kept his House informed and motivated through the medium of 5 reports.

I could continue to gas on, but looking over the records, it seems that Kojiro's accomplishments and efforts speak for themselves. Koji came to the Clan's aid and we wish to thank him for his hard work. It is my hope that Koji will take this Grand Cross as a small token of our thanks.

Koji's gotten to that point in leadership where he's come to realise that he's not interested in rewards. He has quickly realised that the true reward is seeing one's members succeed and boy, have his members succeeded.

Under his stewardship, House Marka Ragnos earned 1,655.9 points. This was enough to put them in 5th place if they had competed as a Clan, beating off Plagueis and Tarentum. His House also had 13 unique participants out of 15 members, which is an 87% participation rate!!!!

While Naga Sadow came a close 4th, it was hard fought and well earned. Our members put forth a massive effort when I and my fellow Summit asked them. Kojiro led from the front, completing 27 out of 28 competitions. The sole competition he failed to complete being the ACC Phase II event and thus out of his reach. Kojiro encouraged the members, sent out emails and has come up with constant ideas on how to move the Clan storyline forward into 2018. Which I can guarantee we'll be using some of them, despite Kojiro being an Iron Throne loving traitor!!!

I ask a lot of my Quaestors, but I also leave them to their own devices in order to let them have some sense of individuality and let them thrive. Kojiro has paid that back to me.

Despite him asking me not to reward him, I've decided to ignore the request, simply because I can't ignore the work he's done. Kojiro continues to show the drive and contribution to Naga Sadow that will see him hit the upper tier of the Equites in the future.

Congratulations on your Grand Cross, Koji-poo, even if you'll shout at me in pm after you get it.

I would like to recommend Koji for a Grand Cross, as a thank you for all his support and work on the creatures implementation into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood possessions system, as well as taking point on so many Aspects and day to day tasks as part of the Regent team over the last quarter allowing me to stay focused on the creatures. The combination of his work on the project and early leadership as well as holding down the rest of the work for the team was important to our success. He, from scratch, created over a hundred item prototype skeletons for lack of a better term which formed the foundation from which all discussions and work were done. Without this initial pass at creating content from nothing, the final view of what needed to be done couldn’t come into focus. While his feedback and insight as we proceeded from there were valuable to a clean execution on time. Congratulations, and thanks for providing the catalyst to get creatures finally going proper and seeing a release.

Since his recognition back in February of this years, Kojiro Keibatsu has remained a spirited member of our corner of the community.

He was most recently one of the Brotherhood's heavy hitters on the participation front, having not only hit every bin in the recent Great Jedi War but being one of seven members having put an entry in on every competition!

Beyond just his War paricipation which brought in 30 Seals of Vision, Kojiro has also been active in our Clan Telegram and has been working to encourage his fellow Sadowans. This beside, he has also been throwing ideas into the ring on how to further develop his house's individual story direction, giving feedback and reasoning on his positions. He also organized 2 competitions: Walk These Streets and Snakes in the Dark. Between these two competitions, Clan Naga Sadow saw 15 entries, contributing to the Prepare for Warwhich helped to generate a bit of buzz within Clan Naga Sadow in prep for the War season.

On the point of personal activity, Kojiro participated in 52 competitions over a variety of formats. For example, over 8 fiction activities he wrote 5403 words, and another 1010 words over 2 RO posts. That has earned Kojiro 21 Clusters of Ice.

He also tackled graphics and gaming competitions, representing our Clan in the larger club. Through PvP in Jedi Academy and Hearthstone, and PvE in Diablo 3 and Heroes of the Storm. That activity earned 12 Clusters of Fire and 45 Clusters of Earth. Oh, and that graphics activity? Well, over 7 graphics competitions, Kojiro earned 23 Clusters of Graphite. He has also placed in two competitions, which earned him a Crescent with a Ruby Star and Crescent with Sapphire Star. And of course, I would be lax if I did not point out that Kojiro has been a continuing student of the Shadow Academy, having completed an additional 18 courses and earned 3 more courses in the society.

At the end of the day, Kojiro has tried to remain a positive element in Clan Naga Sadow. When you look at his attitude over the last couple of months and consider the energy he brought to the Great Jedi War, I am left very appreciative to Kojiro. I hope that this Grand Cross can serve as a token of that appreciation from myself, and from Clan Naga Sadow.

Kojiro maintains a constant and valuable level of activity that is extremely impressive and sets a great example to others. He demonstrates a willingness or even eagerness to participate in any DB wide activity that comes his way. In the recent Great Jedi War he did not just participate in all bins, he was one of only seven members who completed every single competition and placed in the top ten in three of them gaining valuable points for his Clan.

He also demonstrates an enthusiasm for helping others plan activities, and as soon as he transferred to my house he worked with the Aedile to plan a multi platform competition that started as a House event and was quickly expanded to the whole Clan. He also regularly makes a valuable contribution to House and Clan wide discussions on future plans and ideas, and appears happy to take on board other's suggestions and add to them.

For all this Kojiro is a very valuable member of our Clan and I am happy to add my recommendation that he receive this award.
