It has been a long time coming, but we have finally reached the day that we have long talked about. We told you that little deposits in terms of activity would net you a large gain in the long term, Kant. Each time you submitted to a fiction, played Free-For-All in Jedi Academy, or flew with Zakath and I in Star Conflict… it would count. And today, I am honored to induct Kharoc Garrlan into the Equite ranks of the Dark Brotherhood.

Since his last elevation four years ago, Kharoc has participated in 41 competitions and organized 3 competitions; most of that activity coming in the past five months!. He has submitted 18 PvP Matches, logged 9 PvE Activities, completed 1 ACC Battle, and entered 3 Fiction Activities (7471 words!). He has passed 15 Shadow Academy courses and earned 2 Dark Side Degrees for his work. While amassing an Anteian Cross, a Dark Cross, 3 Novae (1 Gold, 2 Silver), 8 Crescents (3 Cr-A, 3 Cr-S, 1 Cr-E 1 Cr-T), 2 Pendants of Blood, 240 Clusters of Fire, 37 Clusters of Ice, 56 Clusters of Earth, and 4 Legions of the Scholar. Kant has also served as a Battle Team Sergeant for 7 months.

Over the past five months, he has returned to us excited, energetic, and communicates regularly with his Clan via Telegram. He has come out regularly for our Jedi Academy FFA Events and flies weekly with us on Star Conflict. In honor of his determination over the long haul and his recent activity, I’m honored to elevate our Loyalist to Equite 1.

Since his return to Galeres, Kharoc has been a constant presence on Telegram and in Activity. A regular source of gaming activity and competition participation. As a member of House Galeres he continues to contribute as often as he can, offering advice to new members, communicating with his own House and members of our sister house Qel-Droma. It’s an honor to see you elevated from the rank of Dark Jedi Knight to the ranks of the Equites Kharoc.

In addition, he has served valiantly. He was awarded an Anteian Cross for his efforts and representation of Clan Arcona in a Great Jedi War. He was also awarded a Dark Cross - since his last elevation - for helping rewrite the entire fictional history of House Qel-Droma. These two projects punctuate that he is not only consuming content, but producing content that shapes the fictional direction and placement of Clan Arcona.

Continue driving forward to meet your goals and the goals presented by your House Leadership and EQ1 will only be the beginning for you.

It is not an easy thing, to overcome. We each of us have our challenges and take time from our daily lives to bleed and sweat for this club, and it’s simply what we do. Sometimes, a member reaches knighthood, and finds it a plateau. Kharoc — or Kant — is not one such member. In the four years since he became a Knight, he has wondered again and again if he could possibly do enough to merit the Equite ranks after so long. I’m glad to say that he’s overcome those trials and arrived here today.

Where some make a meteoric rise, others build brick by sometimes boring brick, and Kant is the tireless latter. As his Quaestor will detail, he has strived each day to participate more and more, both competing in events as well as creating competitions to give back to his fellows. He games, writes, does Shadow Academy work, and generally gets involved and chats with his people every day. While not the flashiest of members by far, Kant is an example of what all members can be, and a paragon to point to should ever someone doubt whether or not they really can achieve great things. Congratulations, my friend, and welcome to Equite I.

The Equites. The jump from “newer member” to “tenured.” Kharoc has been talking of this day for a very long time now, highlighted each time a new goody is released from the HRLD staff requiring EQ1 or above. Well today, Kharoc no longer has to yearn for his rank to use the dossier amenities he wishes. Today we get to elevate one of our hard workers to the Equites.

Kharoc is a motivator, a learner and a good attitude to be around. A loyal member of Arcona that will step up to the plate to join in, have fun and help out where it’s needed. He constantly drives conversation topics forward on TG and is a model for what our junior members can strive to become. I salute you, Kharoc, for your hard work and welcome you warmly into the Equites. Keep up with your fantastic attitude and you’ll go far.
