TuQ’uan - or TuQ, as we all call him - has far more going for him than just a sweet hat. He’s been a stalwart in Plagueis since well before I was Consul and continues to be a key part of the team. Not only has he been a constant presence in the Plagueis Telegram channel, he’s also been an extremely active participant in all of our recent events. Over the past ten months, he’s participated in a total of 69 events and earned 13 crescents (3 Diamond, 1 Ruby, 5 Amethyst, and 4 Sapphire) as well as a Bronze Nova. He’s also been a highly active gamer in this period, earning more than a thousand Clusters of Fire, 16 Clusters of Earth, and 8 Pendants of Blood. If that wasn’t enough, he’s earned a further 21 Clusters of Ice, 20 Clusters of Ice, and 7 Scrolls of Foundation. But TuQ is about far more than his activity alone.
TuQ has been part of the leadership team in Plagueis for the entire period since his last promotion. For 2 months he served as the Rollmaster of Plagueis. When circumstances shifted in the clan with the departure of some other long time leaders, TuQ gladly stepped up and took over the Quaestorship of House Karness Muur where he’s served since the beginning of August. He’s been a key part of driving activity in Karness Muur through a number major events, most especially the Rite of Supremacy: Meridian. TuQ has also put up regular and informative reports which help kept his fellow Muurians up to date.
Beyond simply participating events, TuQ has been an important part of running clan events the past few months. TuQ helped out by running several events to celebrate the new year. More recently, TuQ co-organized one of the weeks of the Operation: Antiquity. His events have always been interesting and well organized. To top it all off, TuQ just recently earned his first Scroll of the Master for helping Fenrir along the path to Knighthood.
In the end, TuQ straight up makes Plagueis a better and richer place. He’s constantly helping make the unit a better place and is a good personal friend. While I’ll let Ronovi go into more details, but TuQ has also been the linchpin in the continued success of the PlagCast, Clan Plagueis’s podcast. Overall, he’s a cool bloke and deserves his first Sacramental award.
Good show, sir! Keep it up!

- Additional reasons
-
While Arden has spoken at length about the accomplishments of TuQ’uan Varick, I want to focus more on the person. In the past year or so that I’ve known TuQ, I have been inspired by his optimism, his energy, his enthusiasm, and his willingness to work hard and help out. His assistance in multiple clan events - even when I bet he’d rather be participating in them! - has aided us tremendously in building competitions that are fun and engaging for our clan’s membership.
TuQ’s warmth and kindness also help greatly in both recruiting and retaining new members. He is one of the first go-to’s for newcomers, and he regularly sends out thoughtful and informational emails, giving rookies the 101 on how to get acquainted with the Brotherhood. He has also been a fantastic partner and mentor to our newer leaders, including our Aediles, as they step into higher leadership being much more prepared than usual thanks to TuQ’s presence and support.
And who can forget TuQ’s amazing work on the PlagCast? Even when he is not able to attend a podcast session, he is always happy to edit our slogs of conversations, making them palatable and enjoyable to listen to. Editing is a thankless job most of the time, so I am especially happy to offer my gratitude here.
Above all, I consider TuQ a dear friend. He’s a good leader, a good man, and of course, a good wifey (or husband, I guess)! I am honored to be able to continue working with him, watching as he builds Karness Muur up to greater heights, interacts with the membership, and provides his songs of the day. Thank you for everything, TuQ, and enjoy your new blue knife!

Since his last elevation to Raider, TuQ has continued to serve diligently over the last 10 months in his role as one of the two Magistrate’s to the Voice. He has helped approve 68 character sheets, accounting for around 15% of the total workfload over that time period. This metric, of course, does not reflect the amount of time, effort, and care TuQ puts into his remands or suggestions when helping members to get their sheets approved in a timely manner. HIs easy going demeanor helps deter antagonistic reactions to remands of members character sheets, drawing positive feedback from both new and returning members making either their first character sheet, or making edits to their existing ones. TuQ is calm, patient, and understanding and represents the Voice office in a positive light. I trust his abilities and know that he appraises each character sheet with the same level of scrutiny and detail that I would myself.
In his role as Magistrate, TuQ is also involved in weekly discussions about Fiction System documentation and policies. His voice is a valued opinion and helps me make informed decisions about policy updates and changes to the benefit of our members. He is also diligent with managing the competitions queue, making sure members are following the guidelines with their submissions and making sure Clusters of Ice are reported in the correct manner.
Having TuQ on staff is a blessing, and I know that combined with his work for his Clan, he has more than earned this merit achievement. Thanks for everything you do, TuQ.
