Qormus is another one of those members who has been active to such a level that our prior, pre-XP system was not putting his work into the proper perspective. He worked as one of the most prolific and involved members of Clan Plagueis, both as a member generating activity as well as a leader working to keep our Clan running at such a level to provide activity opportunities for others. While it has not even been six months since his last elevation, Qormus has easily amassed activity in that time to rise to the level of the final rank of the Equites.

Looking at his overall general activity, Qormus has completed 79 competition entries since his last elevation as well as directly organized another 26. He has also earned the following crescents for those entries: 3 Diamond, 3 Ruby, 1 Amethyst, 2 Sapphire, 4 Emerald, 4 Topaz, and 4 Quartz. Always one to make a good showing during major events, the time since his last recognition was no exception. He received 26 seals from his work in Great Jedi War XV. He also was highly active during the sixth Pro Bowl, completing 23 entries for a total of 145 points earned.

Even more important than his easy to quantify activity was his work as a leader. Qormus spent the majority of his time since his last recognition serving as Proconsul of Plagueis, having also served as Quaestor of House Ventress as well. The amount that was asked of him during that time was unusually burdensome as the Pro Bowl was taking shape and being administered. Essentially, for the entirety of the run up to the event and while it was in progress, Qormus was acting as Consul of the Clan while I worked with all of the various participating Consuls administering the event in a situation more akin to the Council running a Vendetta. Qormus was managing the rest of the summit while providing metrics to inform their engagement work and directing them through their tasks of unit wide as well as one-on-one outreach for the duration. HIs work was especially invaluable as both Quaestors assumed their positions in the lead up to the event, in one case literally only days before the Pro Bowl kicked off. Due in no small part to his efforts, Plagueis saw 21 unique participants during the Pro-Bowl, which equated to 2/3rds of the unit roster at the time and just under 25% of all participating members across the entire event, by far the largest participant ratio the unit has seen in the history of these events. Those 21 members were responsible for 259 total competition entries, a 32% increase over the number of entries Plagueis had seen in the recently concluded Great Jedi War. There is no doubt in my mind that Qormus's work as Proconsul was directly responsible for the absolutely stellar activity numbers that our Clan was able to put forward during Pro Bowl VI.

While he was forced to step away from the Brotherhood due to real life obligations, to put it in the words of another leader in the Brotherhood, "Qormus is more active doing nothing than some members are at full steam". The quality and quantity of his work has been without peer, and I feel that it is a truly great development that the recognition systems of the Brotherhood have, finally at long last, caught up to his excellence. It is my honor and privilege to put him forward for this advancement, well earned that it is!

Since she first entered into the Equwuite ranks, Zuza has been a nonstowop beacon of activity, having participated in 76 competitions, earned a Degree for 2 finished Shadow Academy courses, completed 21 gaming activities, and several fiction, Run-On, and RP activities both in a War and in general. These activities awarded her a Silver Nowova, 2 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 9 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 12 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 8 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 3 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 4 Crescents with Topaz Stars, and 14 Seals of Ascension. They also earned her 42 Clusters of Fire, 15 Clusters of Ice for writing 7500 words, 34 Clusters of Earth and 18 Clusters of Graphite.

Duwuring this time, Zuza also spent 8 outstanding months as Rowollmaster of Arcona, shepherding new members, returning members, and being an active and encouraging voice to all members of her Clan. As the position retires, she goes on to Battleteam Leader of a team for the Journeymen of the Clan to do the same. And all this while serving the same 8 months as a Magistrate to the Headmaster. Zuza has well earned her next promotion, as her experience evidences. Congratuwulations, Zuza, and thank you for all you do. uwu

Our furry friend of furry friends continues to blaze his own trail since his induction among the ranks of the Equites. With 55 competitions under his belt since then, Archian has shown a dedication and constant track record of activity that is a delight to behold. For his efforts, he's earned an Anteian Cross, 9 Crescents and 92 Clusters of all flavors in what can only be described as his "day job". In the previous Vendetta, however, he really brought his claws out, taking home 21 Seals of Ascension and both a Bronze AND a Silver Nova! He truly is a war dog!

Beyond all the numbers and the quarter-million credits he's salvaged into the Clan's coffers, I am pleased beyond delight to have him as my enterprising Aedile. Although barely two months in, he's already growing as a leader by leaps and bounds, taking quickly to reporting, organizing, planning and hyping of events both "foreign" and "domestic".

I am proud to recommend this well-earned promotion to the rank of Raider, and I shudder at what beast he will be dragging back into Ol'val next...

Since her last promotion, Jazzy has organized 4 competitions, co-organized 2, and participated in 55, efforts which show her exemplary body of work through her 2 Bronze Novae, 3 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 5 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 5 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 2 Crescents with Emerald Stars and 1 Crescent with Topaz Star-- placing in a third of all the comps she's participated in! In the course of that, she played 2 PvP matches in 7 gaming activities for 35 Clusters of Fire and 65 Clusters of Earth. A whopping 133 Clusters of Ice represent the over 66500 words she's written altogether across fiction, Roleplay, and Run-On activities, including DMing an RP as well, and 33 Clusters of Graphite speak to her graphics submissions. In the last year since her previous promotion, she has been a champion of two vendetta events, earning 14 Seals of Vision and 8 Seals of Ascension, and has continued to both recruit new membership to the club and raise new members through the ranks, as evidenced by her Scrolls of Indoctrination and Mastership. She has also been a student in this time, completing 1 Shadow Academy Degree with 3 individual courses.

All this stellar activity, as well as her 12 months of Aedileship, are partially represented in her Anteian Cross. When Jazzy stepped up from BTL and into Aedile for her House, she made sure to assist with monthly reports, member retention, and leading with her own activity as an example. For these reasons and more we are happy to see her recognized with her newest rank. Congratulations, my beautiful coffee bean. I tip my apron, and my hat, to you.

Luka Zarjot has always been a dedicated and loyal member of Arcona with their ability to shine, especially with their artistic skill and talent. Since their promotion 03/20/2022, Luka Zarkot has reached the required 10000 XP to reach the rank of Savant. In addition to meeting this requirement, they have been present in many RP sessions (3) and demonstrates loyalty to the Clan and the House. They have earned themselves during this time an Anteian Cross. Congratulations for your promotion and thank you for all your efforts.

Neophyte Elaine Conrat has reached the required 850 XP to reach the rank of Acolyte.

Another day, another promotion - WOOHOO!! Elaine is the Conrat that we wished Ellac would be. That is to say, she's whole, unmaimed, and hasn't been dragged through a jungle with Rancors. All kidding aside, Ellac has been a great help to his sister in her acclimation to the club.

By the numbers, she's participated in 3 competitions, 3 gaming activities, 2 courses being passed, 6 clusters of fire and 55 clusters of earth.

I can't wait to see what comes next for Elaine!

Since his last promotion, Grot participated in fifty eight competitions, eighteen of which were spread across four Brotherhood Vendettas, evidenced by his Seals of Discord, Visions, Enmity, and Ascension. Of these, he placed in twenty eight, including four Novae, managing a solid placement rate of just under fifty percent — a clear indicator of the quality of his submitted work. From his roughly fifteen thousand words of fiction, he earned thirty eight Clusters of Ice, as well as one hundred nineteen Clusters of Fire, one hundred twenty of Earth, and fourteen of Graphite from his many other activities.

Grot spent ten months of this inter-promotion time as an ACC judge. From then-Combat Master Alethia Archenksova, he provided leading judgement on eight matches, graded three qual exams, and provided Rule of Two support on ten other matches beyond that. Further, he reviewed the revised edition of the ACC rubric prior to higher-echelon review and publication to the wider Brotherhood. From April '19 to November '22, he also worked as a Wiki Staff Member. While this particular venue of work is more difficult to track, I can speak from experience as then-Quaestor of Galeres on how he provided guidance for Arcona's many wiki pages, archiving and categorizing multiple outdated articles that included ships, pre-Legends histories, and defunct sub-units.

While he is now in the Rogues and focusing on real-life shenanigans, we never hold that against anyone, and his achievement is now fully ready to be recognized. So Grot, whenever you see this, thank you for your work, and we hope to see you again.

Since last being promoted, Ayden Dane has earned two Anteian Crosses, two Dark Crosses, hundreds of Clusters of Earth and Fire, numerous Pendants of Blood and crescents, hosted 3 competitions, and participated in 20 competitions. Congratulations!

Hevan has been a shining example of a journeyman’s thirst for knowledge. Always ready to ask questions and discover more about the Brotherhood and how it works. Since his last promotion, Hevan has passed an impressive 13 Shadow Academy courses, earned his first degree and placed to 2 of the Shadow Academy decathlons earning a well deserved Crescent with Ruby Star and Crescent with Sapphire Star. Not satiated by just passing his course however, Hevan has made sure to retake his courses to ensure a full understanding of the material. All in all this drive has led to Hevan quickly reaching the XP requirements for a promotion to Journeyman 2, and it is my absolute pleasure to congratulate him on this incredible achievement.
