Alara Deathbane came to Arcona this past year and has been a bright point of amazing talent and activity. She’s been supportive, encouraging, and just an all-around fantastic person to have in Arcona, and we couldn’t be happier that she chose us as her home. I could go on and on about Alara as an amazing member and person, but that’s the other people’s job, so let's do numbers.

As a sign of her leadership ability, Alara organized twenty-nine competitions, and lead by example by participating in one hundred and twenty-two more! She also completed fourteen fiction activities, including eight Run-On posts and over eleven thousand words written. She also continued her education by completing five Academy courses.

In the course of her participation, she's earned herself one Ruby, five Amethyst, five Sapphire, two Emerald, and two Topaz Crescents! Along with this, she picked up twelve Clusters of Fire, twenty-nine Clusters of Ice, and forty-seven Clusters of Graphite! Not to mention a Seal of Loyalty! Her War efforts lead to a Silver and Bronze Nova as well, proving her skill.

She spent a solid nine months as a Quaestor, managing her House and people so admirably that she picked up a Sapphire Blade for her efforts, showing her talent and commitment to the health of the Brotherhood at large.

Alara, it has been an honor and a joy to work with you both within the recent War and outside of it, I am so happy you’re here, and I hope you’ve found a home with us. But more to the point, congratulations!

To say Alrara is nothing short of a workhorse would be an understatement. Her dedication since joining Arcona sets the standard for those that follow in her footsteps. There are so many things that I can point out about her. Kindness, strength in adversity, cleverness and so on.

I fully support this promotion for her and all the accolades that go with it she has more than earned this through her drive and determination through thick and thin

Well done Alara

Alara has been a bright shining light in Arcona for some time now. Her cheery attitude and easy-going personality have won her much love and friendship from her Clanmates and has etched a permanent spot into our hearts.

Despite having a rough time in her real life she has always made time for us and strived to be an active participant in all our activities. She's been there to lend a hand to others, share her passions with us and give it her all when we need her. I'm proud to have her in my Battle Team and in my Clan. And mostly, I'm proud to be her friend.

Fantastic job Alara, you earned this. I look forward to continuing to enjoy your company and smile at your progress.

I first met Alara Deathbane shortly after joining the Brotherhood. It was in a small telegram group that had been pulled together from various clans to encourage character building, individually and in building cross-clan relations. I was exposed to just how welcoming, supportive, and encouraging Alara is. And I keep being reminded of those traits whenever I see her interacting with her fellow peers. Offering input, encouraging ideas, and generally being an amazing person to talk to.

Not only that, but Alara has shown her contribution and dedication to our community. Examples span from her time in leadership as a Quaestor in CSP to stepping up and leading group submissions in the war. I was entirely impressed by her ability to wrangle and organize seven other people while also taking the mantle for the technical application. She has volunteered to help mentor our new joins. Alara has remained active on the competition front and has bonded with her clanmates through telegram roleplaying, where she helps offers fictional problem-solving.

It is with great pleasure to support Alara Deathbane for promotion to Augur, Equite 4. Congratulations! You've earned this and I am pleased to have in our Arc family. May the shadows guide you.

Alara isn't just one of the kindest, cheeriest, and most able to endure anything (you know what I'm talking about, Lara) people in the room; she's also one of the most productive. She's participated in 122 completions, excluding Bins, and was a major Clan asset during the Thirteenth Great Jedi War. I got to watch her in our clan war chat discuss and drive her fellow members like she was a leader herself, constantly offering to bounce ideas, participate in group events, clarify questions and confusion, and do every single comp that she was physically capable of chasing down (save only games she didn't own). I personally got to work with her closest in our Voice Acting multimedia Bin, wherein she took about eighteen different audio files recorded from each of her teammates, selected the best ones, cut them up, edited them all together, added sounds effects and other dynamics that go far over my in head, and put it together in a roughly nine-minute clip to submit for our entry; even then she still offered to try and animate some talking heads for each person, only edged out of time to do so because of being so busy participating in everything else, no less with an injured hand. This included our Clan Run-On, for which she completed a handy two posts as well as proofing for both myself and three other members' posts of two each for a total of eight posts.

And while it may seem paltry to only hear about the great efforts involved in one particular competition, it must be understood that Alara is like this in all that she does. She's not only active but always giving more and more for her fellow members without even being asked and leads as an example, always willing to listen and help. These are the qualities expected of any higher-ranking long term member, and Alara is one such a veteran to look up to, for her leadership both in position and her continuing to do so without even a title to bear. Thank you for everything, Lara. I know you'll keep giving your all to everyone lucky enough to meet you, keep teaching, and keep helping learn and grow. ;)

Alara's value to Clan Arcona is not something that can be overstated. Whether it is bringing home novae and full bin completion in the GJW or merely being an active and friendly member of our Telegram groups, it is evident that she is someone that we can depend on. The previous leadership experience that she brings to the clan will undoubtedly be something that will be put to good use in the future, even if only utilized to provide guidance to the newer members of Arcona.

This promotion is the least we can do to reward Alara for all the hard work she has put in for the clan since she joined us.

Congratulations Alara!

Alara joining Arcona was a welcomed surprise. Since she became a member of our family she has been on a non-stop journey of activity, proving herself among the ranks of our brightest and best. While I never personally knew her before her joining, I'm glad to say that I have found Alara to be a loyal, caring, and kind friend and member of this online club

Since her last promotion Alara has certainly proven herself a capable member and leader. She was one of Arconas 100% Bin participation members in the Discord GJW, and she's earned a silver and a bronze novae for her work in club-wide vendettas. As a competitor, she's proven herself worthy of recognition with an impressive 122 competitions she's participated in, and her works have earned her a Sapphire Blade!

For these reasons and more I more satisfied and beyond happy to congratulate Alara on her promotion to Equite 4. You've done a fantastic job Alara, I cant wait to see what's next from you!.
