I’m excited to recommend Blackhawk for promotion — a milestone he’s more than earned through his consistent contributions, steady presence, and the energy he’s brought to Clan Plagueis across so many different avenues of activity.

Since his last advancement, Blackhawk has thrown himself into the life of the club. He’s organized 3 competitions, co-organized another 4, and participated in an impressive 74 more. Out of those, he’s earned 13 placement awards, meaning he placed in about 18% of the competitions he entered. Those placements include a Gold Nova along with 12 Crescents: 1 Diamond, 3 Ruby, 5 Amethyst, 1 Sapphire, and 2 Emerald. That level of consistent success across events shows a member who doesn’t just participate, but competes and excels.

In addition to his competition placements, Blackhawk’s efforts have also been recognized with 2 Grand Crosses and 1 Anteian Cross. These awards highlight the breadth of his overall contributions across different stages of his career. Beyond those service recognitions, Blackhawk has earned a wide spread of activity awards that reflect his consistency and involvement: 1 Pendant of Blood, 496 Clusters of Fire, 19 Clusters of Ice, a Seal of Loyalty, 7 Seals of Wrath, and 2 Seals of Visions.

In addition to competition entries, Blackhawk has been just as dedicated across all realms of activity. In gaming, he’s logged over 80 activities, including 21 PvP matches. In fiction, he’s contributed more than 7,000 words through roleplaying, run-ons, and the ACC — including 5 roleplay sessions totaling 5,060 words and even stepping up as a DM for another 803. He’s also judged in the ACC, adding another layer of service to his record. What stands out most is that Blackhawk hasn’t limited himself to one corner of the Brotherhood. He’s advanced across 16 different society rank-ups, including with the ACC, Envoy Corps, Inquisitorius, Shroud Syndicate, and the GMRG. That breadth of engagement makes him a well-rounded and reliable member, one we can always count on no matter the arena.

In short, Blackhawk exemplifies the qualities we look for at this next stage: active, dependable, versatile, and committed to lifting the Clan forward. He’s shown time and again that he’s not just here for himself but for the success of the whole.

For all these reasons, I’m proud to recommend Blackhawk for promotion.

Tallulah Duncape, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed.

I will continue to watch your progress, Tallulah Duncape, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

May the Force guide you, Journeyman,

But wait, there’s more! In the few minutes since her last promotion, Nora has continued to be a force that impacts Clan Plagueis at every level. Her continued high activity levels serve to set the example for all of our members, while her work on our leadership team is second to none. In the last few minutes, Nora has been one of our best members in Clan Plagueis.

In all seriousness, Nora is one of the most valued members of the Ascendant Clan. In her time since joining our Clan, Nora has participated in an astounding 1,719 competitions, and she’s earned exactly 1,000 crescents for her placements (yeah, that’s right, a literal millennium of crescents). Those numbers are astounding, but I think they really undersell what Nora has meant to the Brotherhood and Clan Plagueis. Nora has earned 25,639 XP on her various merit awards and sacramentals outside of what was tracked by the website. That means her contributions in Brotherhood level staff positions, in clan and house leadership, and generally working on projects and doing the work that goes on behind the scenes to make our club work alone earned enough XP to exceed that needed to advance to Equite 3. So sure, if you stripped out every bit of activity our site tracks, the work that is consumption and not providing for others, Nora would still be a highly ranked Equite on that work alone.

As I often say, leadership is making sure that everyone else at the party is having a good time even if you might not be. Nora has faced that reality more than most, and continued to work for those around her to make our club a kick-ass party for everyone. This speaks more to the quality of her character than any other metric, and illustrates how valuable her work has been more than any other number on our activity tracker can ever capture.

As such, it makes me exceedingly lucky to put forward Nora for advancement to the rank of Elder. She has demonstrated that she is the kind of member, leader, and in general person that those of us that lead our club need to thank for their efforts at every opportunity. So, in short, thank you, Nora, for everything that you have done here. My congratulations are overdue and also insufficient, but I’m glad to be able to give them all the same.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Nora Olen for promotion to Equite 4. Nora consistently embodies the leadership, dedication, and excellence expected of our senior members. Her steady record of activity, organizational contributions, and service to Clan Plagueis make her more than deserving of this recognition.

As Quaestor of House Tyrannus, Nora has been instrumental in driving activity and engagement. Under her leadership, Tyrannus has maintained strong participation in competitions, roleplaying, and broader Clan initiatives. She has ensured members feel included and motivated, while also fostering communication and support that help the House thrive. Beyond Tyrannus, she has been a consistent voice in Clan Plagueis—supporting Clan-wide events, collaborating with leaders, and providing feedback that sustains momentum across the entire community.

Alongside her leadership, Nora has remained a highly active participant. She has competed in 88 non-container events, earning 1 Diamond, 4 Ruby, 17 Amethyst, 27 Sapphire, 17 Emerald, and 5 Topaz Crescents—an extraordinary placement ratio of over 80%. Her activity awards further underscore her versatility: 68 Clusters of Graphite for graphics, 48 Clusters of Fire for gaming, and even a Cluster of Ice from a 538-word roleplaying session. This balance of activity and leadership highlights her commitment to leading by example, all culminating in her being awarded a Ruby Scepter for her outstanding efforts.

Nora has proven herself to be a dedicated leader and an engaged participant. Her contributions as Quaestor of House Tyrannus and within Clan Plagueis as a whole have been critical to maintaining activity and fostering a vibrant community. Coupled with her exceptional competition record and wide array of awards, she has more than earned advancement

I strongly and confidently recommend Nora Olen for promotion to Equite 4.

Knight Kora has reached the required 12500 XP to reach the rank of Equite 2, in just a little over a month!

Since Kora’s last elevation in August, she has continued to impress. Six society rank ups, 66 competitions participated in, a sapphire blade, a bucketload of crescents, at least one of every type of cluster, and 350K credits earned for the clan!

It’s inspiring to see a “new” member with the breadth of activity that Kora has. At this rate, Kora may be the fastest member to reach the Elder ranks in club history.

Well done Kora!

Darth Dracaryis, 2025-09-05 10:45:00 UTC

The DJB Speedrun continues; barely 3 months to EQ2, absolute madness. Insanely proud to see how much she's been expressing herself creatively within the club since I talked her into joining and looking forward to seeing how she blossoms further out from here.

Archpriest Azler, 2025-09-04 13:21:37 UTC

Kora has had a meteoric arrival in Vizsla, by which I mean that since she landed the landscape has been forever altered. Kora has changed the expectations of what is possible and can be achieved. She brings a positive attitude and personality to our community, fitting in well with some crusty old timers. Frankly, it’s inspiring to see someone so new to the community become such a strong pillar and it’s impressive that she can be used as a measuring stick of activity to veterans and newbies alike.

Within three short months, she’s settled in as a staple in our community and discord channel. For the last two months, she’s been the highest credit earner of the whole clan. She’s participated and placed in numerous competitions - even participating in competitions in other units despite knowing she can only achieve participation status. She’s risen in the ranks of the Aurora Collegium of Sciences to VII: Researcher, in the Grand Master's Royal Guard to the rank of IV, in the Shroud Syndicate to the rank of IX: Enforcer, and joined and been raised to the Inquisitorius: II: Apprentice Inquisitor.

She is an absolute boon to our community and Vizsla is forever changed by being blessed with her presence. The least we can do is acknowledge she’s well earned the rank of Equite II.

Arabella has been active on many competitions and events in the Brotherhood's gaming activities, harvesting no shortage of Clusters of Fire with their efforts. They have earned the experience required for their next promotion, and have earned the following rewards since their last promotion:

• A Steel Cross
• A Crescent with Emerald Star
• A Crescent with Topaz Star
• 179 Clusters of Fire
• A Seal of Loyalty

For all of this I reccomend Arabella be promoted to JM4.

Congratulations to you Arabella, all of those hours gaming have definitely paid off.
