Event Details

Bril has been a steady and steadfast member of Arcona, leading by example and always trying to drive things forward for Galeres and Arcona to be the best they can possibly be. His levels of activity are a thing of legend - I think he may be the only person I've ever seen need to scroll to a second page to see all his active RP threads - and this is an inspiration to everyone in the Clan.

During my time working with Bril as part of the Summit, he was always eager to step up and do whatever it took to keep things moving in Arcona. Bril was an instrumental part of not only the development of the Pathfinder Brigade - a bold, new organization for the betterment of Galeres - but also deeply involved in the development of C.A.D.R.E.S. and the related new diplomatic direction of the Clan. The Kon D'irin, one of our uneasy alliances under the system, were nothing more than a name until Bril got to work on them and now they are frankly one of the most distinct of the groups we are dealing with.

It should come as no wonder, though, given Bril's propensity for worldbuilding and the documentation thereof. The award he received as July's Wikipedian of the Month is long-deserved and well earned, as Bril is an absolute monster at updating and maintaining Arcona wiki spaces both big and small. Bril has nearly as many updates, edits and contributions to the Wiki as I do - and it's literally part of my job as Wiki Staff to do that stuff! He does it for nothing more than love of the game, and love of Arcona.

A more clearly deserved award I could not begin to imagine, and I am proud to be able to contribute my voice toward recommending it. It is for these reasons among countless others that I put forth my recommendation that Bril Teg Arga be awarded an Amethyst Kukri for tireless, continuous, and valuable service to Arcona and the Brotherhood.

Bril is a born leader. He has an innate ability to bring people along with him. Whether serving on the summit, or leading from the front, he has an infectious enthusiasm to hold himself and others to new standards. He sets the bar, and helps others follow. This standard-setting has been a positive influence on the Clan as a whole, irrespective of House.

So let’s talk specifics. Bril served as Aedile of House Galeres for a total of 231 days, and subsequently as Quaestor of House Galeres for another 96 days. In total, he led House Galeres for 327 days, just shy of a year. But leadership is not about time served. Leadership is not participation. Leadership is about action, it is about driving activity, and it is about both supporting and representing your members. Bril has done all three in spades.

During his time in House Galeres leadership, Bril identified the gap in the fictional background to House Galeres, and quickly sought to develop the Pathfinder Brigade. This was quickly enshrined into Arconan lore, and has served as a foundation for the membership to use in subsequent fictions and submissions to the Dajorra Intelligence Agency contract board.

He has also been feverish in his Wiki work, demonstrated through his recent Dark Side Scroll for his activity in June—whilst the GJWXVII: Animus was taking place.

Bril may have stepped down from his summit position in May 2026, but he has not stopped leading. He has been prolific in offering words of encouragement both within Arcona and without. Bril took every request for proof-reading in Arcona, easily proofing over 15,000 words, and whilst also himself drafting up 13,000 words for the Phase I Multiprompt and achieving 4th place. He was consistently encouraging of all members, old and new, establishing his own motto: “Let’s goooooo!” which became a regular voice chat comment, and quickly spread as the Clan's unofficial motto to inspire and encourage. A few recent promotions and awards have gone through for people Bril works closely with, or for whom Bril is their master, and he has been quick to highlight that he wants to contribute to these recommendations. This is the kind of person Bril is, a people person. A born leader. And one that leads from the front. Let’s focus on that now…

Bril contributed 170.95 points towards Clan Arcona’s final score in the recent GJWXVII: Animus. In addition to 4th in Phase I Multiprompt as we have already covered, Bril also placed 9th in Phase II, Pokemon Unite; 10th in the Event Long Battleplan; and, 6th in Phase II Combat Fiction. He is a polymath, and that showed during his performance in the GJW.

Bril has delivered an exceptional level of activity across since his last reward. He has organised 7 competitions, co-organised a further 8, and participated in 87 (106 including containers and brackets). His fiction output totalled 65,248 words across 10 regular fiction activities, 39 roleplaying sessions as a participant, and 2 as DM, earning 140 Clusters of Ice. Yes… 65,248 words! And this kind of performance does not stop at fiction. He has also collected 542 Clusters of Fire and 20 Clusters of Graphite. His 26 Crescents reflect consistent quality as well as volume, with placements in roughly 30% of competition entries. He also passed 2 Shadow Academy courses, earning a Dark Side Scroll, and contributed 809,900 credits to Clan Arcona.

Bril is a man that puts his money where his mouth is. He’s a leader, proven through tenure, and confirmed through action. His participation and activity is one thing, but the level of commitment he has to his Clan and this club is beyond compare.

Thank you, Bril. Genuinely. You are an asset to this club, and I can’t wait to see what comes next. Although I might need to invest in some reading glasses, given your wordcount output!

My colleagues have touched on Bril’s activity, but I’d like to take a moment to recognise his attitude. Bril is a cornerstone of Arcona. Since coming back, he has been a daily fixture on discord and has an easy relationship with every Arconan. He is loyal, steadfast (and most of the time hilarious). His care for Arcona is plain as day to see, and we are very lucky to have him with us. He has more than earned this Sac and I am extremely excited to be working with him in Arcona going forward. Congrats, man.

In one of my toughest times in the fourteen years of my life with this club, it was Bril's friendship and leadership that made me want to stay. While other events did spur me away, that sentiment held true, and Bril never abandoned me simply because I was no longer a member of his Clan—the not my circus, not my monkeys mentality. I was Rogue, but he still invited me to participate, to RP, to engage people. And when I was gone, he still checked in. Was there to welcome me back and answer all my questions and catch me up when I returned for the War in May. He was there when everyone else wasn't. Member retention is the lifeblood of this club, and that applies to veterans as much as to new recruits, a sentiment sometimes forgotten in our collective concern for expansion and survival as an organization. But Bril's skill lies in his friendliness, in his efforts to be an anchor and a hook to anyone and everyone; new and old, Arconan and Brethren, he reaches out endlessly to everyone. It can be punting twelve year olds in Pokemon Untie. It can be wiki work and voice chats. It can be writing and RPing together across sixteen newly made characters and 100 character connections. That's my point: Bril connects. And he holds on.

His official leadership can give numbers, but allow me a testament to my cousin: Bril, thank you for not giving up on me or anybody, for your warmth and auraenergy, for your advocacy to better educate the club culturally and sensitively and thus better ourselves, for your thousands and thousands of words and hundreds of hours. Thank you for being my friend, and however briefly, my Starosta, but mostly, for being you.
