Event History

Edema R'uh-Kalinor has been one of the most loyal Arconans the clan has ever had. While life has kept her busy, she has without a doubt been active and contributing to the Brotherhood through the years. That activity has earned her the 5125 medal XP needed for a Sapphire Blade! So let's get into the gritty details.

Since her last award, Edem had participated in 4 competitions. She won a Sapphire Crescent and a Topaz Crescent. She has participated in 7 gaming activities. Normally I'd list how many CoF's were earned from those, but let's look at the greater picture of clusters — that lifetime total which accounts for the majority of the XP here since the XP system came to be. 435 CoF! 183 CoI from fiction activity since joining, 151 CoG from arting. Edema had earned 6 Pendants of Blood, 49 Vendetta Seals, 4 Scrolls of Foundation, 1 scroll of indoctrination, and 2 Dark Side Scrolls. She had also received 2 Seals of Loyalty for her commitment and, well, loyalty to Arcona.

It is with great honor to award Edema with this Sapphire Blade. May the stars guide you path.

The ancient Gentleman Mandalorian is at it again! Hitting milestones and demonstrating that old dogs can still do tricks and with style. Captain Alex Draconis has reached the 5125 Medal XP for a Sapphire Blade! Since his last medal, he has participated in 112 competitions not including containers. His efforts netted him 3 Diamond, 5 Ruby, 3 Amethyst, 9 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, 1 Topaz and 1 Quartz Stars. Alex had graced us with his amazing art, such as bubbles and a chicken Fosh, and earned 14 CoGs and a rank up with the Shroud Syndicate. He joined in on 3 gaming activities worth 17 CoFs, and ranked up in the GMRG. Alex has also participated in 3 regular fictions of 5144 words, 2 RP (Participant) of 3233 words total, and 1 RP he led and wrote 2912 words for. He was awarded 23 CoIs, 2 Inquisitorius rank ups, a Envoy Corp (Participant) and a Envoy Corp (Organizer) rank up. Alex passed 8 courses, earned a Maven in Combat and in Societies.

Alex Draconis has been at the helm of the Voidbreaker, holding the BTL position for over 2 months now. He’s kept his unit informed with timely monthly news posts, been active in their chats and with them, and an involved participant in the management of both the Battleteam and the House’s direction where it concerns his members as well as clan summit discussions and decisions as a whole. Alex is a very approachable, open and inclusive individual who’s chill demeanor contributes to the positive community we strive to support.

With all of the above demonstrating exactly how this Mando made every Medal XP earned worth its full measure, I am happy to recommend Alex Draconis for a Sapphire Blade. Congratulations, Alex! Keep it up and may the stars guide you!

Seven years ago I joined Odan-Urr and spent my nights arguing with Turel, Blade, Arch, and this one, over the funniest and dumbest things as I tried to learn the ins and outs of The Brotherhood, while dealing with some of the hardest things in my life. Back then, things only got harder for me, I ended up taking a long hiatus, but in that time Celevon was one of the few members of The Brotherhood (who wasn't part of my outside circle of friends) who poked me routinely to check if I was still handling life decently until I took a hiatus from the internet at large for most of 2019.

If you had told me then, that I'd be back, in the hot seat, and giving him the awards he was saying I deserved for putting up with the routine ribbings and absolute destruction I faced gaming and arguing with members of the Clan, as well as just trying to be a good member back during my first divorce and custody battle, I would have called you a liar. Now I'm glad to be in this position and see that his penchant for people and helping out, even when he acts like he's doing nothing, hasn't changed at all. He's still the same argumentative, laugh-filled, teacher who randomly pokes in to make sure everything's all right, and has no bones about poking and prodding to make sure people understand what is going on.

Benn is another of our members who always has something cooking. Consistently active, whether he's pushing out a bunch of competitions at once, or going through a couple of small competitions in a week, there hasn't yet been a period where I've checked the report and not seen his name somewhere, waiting, on the Odan-Urr activity tracker.

Though Enzo only recently joined Vizsla, upon reviewing his assessment, he has completed 24 competitions, earning 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, Ruby, Amethyst, Sapphire, Topaz, and 2 Quartz Stars. Additionally, he has earned 2 Clusters of Ice, 6 Clusters of Graphite, and passed 5 Shadow Academy courses.

Congratulations, Enzo Dek, on your new Sapphire Blade.

They say when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Likewise, they say when in Plagueis, Do All The Things(™). And that’s just what Marcus does. Marcus is a dedicated and reliable member of Plagueis, always willing to jump in during an event and not only get participation in himself, but encourage other members to fight alongside him in bringing victories to the clan. While real life can sometimes get in the way and available time can be an issue, Marcus has recently decided to dive back into being an active member of the clan! Since his last recommendation, Marcus has participated in 23 different competitions earning a Cluster with Amethyst Star and 2 with Emerald Star. His return to activity has coincided with the release and support of Star Wars Hunters which he has jumped into, co-ordinating times to play with his fellow clan mates earning himself 6 Cluster of Fire.

Now, you’d think someone as old as the Roman Empire would already know everything there is to possibly know. But Marcus has proven that everyone can expand their knowledge by completing 14 Shadow Academy courses, earning an additional 7 degrees and ranking up not once, not twice, but three times in the Aurora Collegium of Sciences to reach rank X (oh look, another Roman reference!). Outside of his site tracked metrics and awards, Marcus is an absolute pleasure to have in the clan, always willing to chat with his clan mates both one on one and in the clan chat, encouraging his fellow members, answering questions and getting to know them on a personal level. Marcus, my old friend, this clan truly isn’t the same place without you and I am honoured to be able to write this recommendation, I am trusting you with this stabby, please refrain from stabbing me with it 23 times. Congratulations on a well deserved Sapphire Blade!

P.S. You will be happy to know that I wrote this entire rec calling you Julius before realizing my mistake…

Ronovi has been a steadfast member and leader within Clan Plagueis, holding several different positions across more years than most have even been members. Their work has stood them in fine stead amongst those who have served the Ascendant Clan, through times that were easy and times that were hard. Since their last recognition, they've participated in a number of competitions for sure. However, their having banked over five thousand XP, as yet unspent on medal recognitions, speaks to exactly how much work they have done over the years. Specifically, I wanted to highlight some of their contributions since my time taking over as Consul that have not shown up on activity trackers: Ronni has provided invaluable counsel on the fictional direction of Plagueis over their years at the helm, helping me to bridge the past with the fictional direction moving forward. This work, in an advisory capacity beyond that of a simple member, is exactly the sort of contributions that we value from those that have stepped back from leadership, and that which we see all to infrequently. Ronni's service is one that any member would be envious of, and any Consul would be thankful for. I know that I, for sure, am. Congratulations!

Writing recommendations for Katrila seems to be becoming a bit of a habit as of late. And I am here for it!

Since her last medal (less than two months ago!), Katrila has been determined to prove to everyone she is a force to be reckoned with by not only dabbling in just about every aspect of this club, but clawing her way to the top. Gaming? With 6 gaming activities and 28 Clusters of fire, check! Well, what about the Shadow Academy? Surely Katrila’s already learned everything there is to learn. That may be true now seeing as how she was able to successfully complete a whopping 23 Shadow Academy courses and earn an additional 6 degrees!! Fiction? Katrila has completed 2 ACC matches (winning both!), participated in her first RP and submitted another 6 fiction activities for an astounding total of 9,721 words and 16 Clusters of Ice. Well, surely she skipped out on graphics right? That’s where Katrila would prove you wrong yet again! Katrila submitted some amazing art to 8 different competitions for a total of 24 Clusters of Graphite. Katrila has also tried her hand at organizing a competition, participated in an astounding 97 competitions and earned 3 Crescents with Diamond Star, 4 with Ruby, 5 with Amethyst, 1 with Sapphire, 1 with Emerald and 2 with Quartz for her placements!

All-in-all, it has been an absolute pleasure to see Kat pounce at every opportunity before her. Climbing through the ranks like a cat stuck in a tree that refuses to come back down, Katrila has ranked up 9 times in the DB societies. Entering the Envoy Corps participants society, entering AND reaching level 2 as an ACC participant, entering and reaching rank III in the Shroud Syndicate, reaching rank II, III AND IV in the Inquisitorius and reaching rank IX in the Aurora Collegium of Sciences! On top of all of the activity Kat has been pumping out, she has also been an active and positive member of the clan, reaching out to ask and answer questions, encouraging gaming activities between clan mates and just generally being an amazing person to chat with in the clan chat. It has been incredible watching your growth within both the clan and the club and I can’t wait to do this again in a few months time. Congratulations Katrila on a well deserved Sapphire Blade!

Vorran was Praetor to the Herald for Rian, and then me until January 7th of this year. During the final months of their tenure, Vorran created the 2 robes (Male / Female GJW Arconan reward), 5 custom weapons, 2 warbanners, generating a total of 60 different graphics. Furthermore, as Praetor they helped Rian lead the staff towards the Christmas release in the final months of 2023. They also had a hand in creating and updating various Herald guidelines, directly improving the member experience in the Shroud Syndicate society.

We should all be grateful for Vorran’s contributions as an artist, a leader, and a member. Thank you for all your hard work as a key part of the Herald’s staff over the years. Congratulations on your new Sapphire Blade!

Disclaimer : This should have been awarded far sooner and that's on me. I misunderstood how our new XP system functions in the early days of my tenure. I do sincerely apologize for the delay.

A'lora, this is a Stabby that is long overdue, from your continuous credits to Odan-Urr's living and written history, competition participation and coordination, and activity throughout The Brotherhood's various Societies, you've earned this and likely many more accolades than I can currently give you.

Your alighting presence around Discord is always a genuine joy as well, whether it's to share tidbits about past events, or just general chatter, you've always had something grand to add to the banter.

Ever onward, A'lora.
