Since his last medal back in February '23, Doon maintained a steadfast presence and activity within and for Arcona as both a member and a leader. In those 11 months, Doon organized 8 competitions (plus a coorg in there for good measure), and participated in an additional 35 (which comes up to 44 if one includes containers and brackets). Of those, he placed in 9 as evidenced by his collection of Crescents plus 1 Silver Nova from GJW XVI, in which he took part in 11 of the War's competitions. 27 fiction activities across both regular fictions and roleplaying activities tallied up to 47,451 words of fiction, which further earned him 4 ranks in the Inquisitorius, 11 in the Envoys as a Participant, and 4 as an RP organizer. He earned from that and his other activity: 96 Clusters of Ice, 14 Clusters of Earth, and 4 Clusters of Graphite.

Outside of the more easily tracked activity was his work as a Battleteam Leader for the Voidbreakers in House Qel-Droma. Doon "Soft Paw" Sulvir kept the team trucking along during a period of intense leader turnover, maintaining a familiar face and continuity for his team. Further, his efforts through RP and his Mines of Riquis event continued the story and legacy of one of the most consistent and constant Battleteam names in contemporary Arconan history. Doon also tackled his own shortcomings over the past year, improving his presence and systems as a BTL that had him entering the new year looking far better than the last annual turn, and showing great potential for what's yet to come. Beyond that, as Ood points out in his dossier note for Doon, the Shistavanen also assisted the Chamber of Justice with a selection of inquiries related to an otherwise undisclosed complaint, making him pivotal not just for his own unit, but giving him impact — however small or large — to the Brotherhood as a whole.

Doon's work doe not go unnoticed, and I look forward to seeing what he and the crew of the Voidbreaker II get up to next. Congratulations, Doon! Thank you for doing what you do!

Proconsul Wulfram Armis has reached the required 5125 Medal XP to earn their first Sapphire Blade.

Ever since hiring Wulfram as the Proconsul of Odan-Urr, he has hit the ground running and has shown no signs of slowing down. Not only a constant presence on discord, engaging with members and participating in RP as well as creating new channels for the Battleteams, in his first week, he has recruited five new members to the Clan, reworked the entire COU Fleet including spreadsheets, which is a big undertaking as he had to carefully plan ships in order to achieve the tactical cohesion we were looking for. It was an entire fleet overhaul that easily took a few hours over the course of a couple of days. Buying, selling tweaking, outfitting. He has also been consistent in helping me plan for the future of the Clan including setting up for an event that I'm going to kickstart within the next few days. I'm exceedingly pleased with his effort, work ethic, and ability to work well with others. He has a bright future in Odan-Urr and I look forward to everything he brings to the table. However that's just the tip of the iceberg in regards to his activity. Since his last medal, he has participated in 58 competitions and organized 4. Written a combined 20k+ words for fictions and RP. Earned 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 3 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 2 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 6 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 505 Clusters of Fire, 44 Clusters of Ice, 175 Clusters of Earth, 3 Clusters of Graphite, 8 Scrolls of Indoctrination, 1 Scroll of the Master, and 7 Seals of Transcendence. This has enabled him to gain the required XP he needed for his first Sacramental Award and it is truly deserved!

Well done, my friend!

A founding member of Clan Vizsla and a long-time member of the club Valhavoc is still churning out activity and participation. Since his last award, Valhavoc has participated in 82 competitions. Including 10 in the last GJW. He continues to impress 28 Cresents earned and consistent presence on the Vizsla discord channels. Congrats on your latest award Valhavoc.

Since his previous recognition in late August, the artist known as Eleceos has seen to a tally many members can hope to reach with a year’s diligent effort. Within this short span of time, he has not only organized half a dozen competitions of his own, but participated in a whopping 65! That is over 20 competitions A MONTH!

Of course, we must not forget that Eleceos faced the Great Jedi War XVI during this time, and for his efforts brought home 13 Seals of Transcendence as well as beating every bin on offer. Further, for three of these he earned Bronze Novae, adding them like a cherry atop the sundae of 35 Crescents contained within the icecream cone of 70 Clusters! Now that is getting one’s just desserts!

If all of this competition business wasn’t enough, he’s also continued to serve within the Shadow Academy and earned 9 Scrolls of Foundation, no doubt grading the Lightsaber course he hand-crafted for the Academy records.

Eleceos is an amazing member. Truly. I’m rarely lost for words, but his persistent and staggering activity and engagement beggar the boundaries of even my voracious vocabulary. In our House, we award a special item for the person who’s earned the most Crescents in total each quarter. Now, I reckon I ought to extend my thanks to Ele for minimizing the administrative burden of having to move said item to anyone else’s possession, since he so systematically displays supreme Crescent-harvesting prowess. Yet on the other, I feel like this Miraluka has by some twist of fate intertwined his name to that of the Blind Key.

Amazing work, Ele! An astounding record that is easily worth some blue cutlery to your collection of colorful knives.

Warrior Haro Zylrun continues to impress on all levels of activity. Since his last recognition Haro has participated in 79 individual competitions, 1 ACC match, and 1 RP session. Well-rounded activity levels and his 8 Seals of Transcendence helped Vizsla secure their 4th place finish in the last Great Jedi War. Haro is for sure not just one of our most active members in Vizsla but also one of our most promising. Already closing on EQ 2 it is fantastic to watch his continued progress. Congrats on your first Sapphire Blade. I know this will not be your last.

It is always great to see a member returning to us from the Rogues. Before he left us for the rogues, during his time as a rogue and since his return to Arcona and now Galeres, Grot has earned himself this award. I'm quite pleased to get to be the leader to award it!

Grot, welcome back to Galeres, I hope the place hasn’t changed too much and you can still recognise yourself in it and encounter familiar faces as well as make new friends. I hope to be able to write many more (detailed) recommendations for you in the future. Enjoy your second Sapphire Blade and have fun stabbing people!

Alaisy is one of those members who stands out amongst the crowd, and has a strong respect and love from the members across multiple clans. After returning from a stint in the rogues, there were so many happy to see Alaisy's return, myself included.

Based on your past efforts, and what is to come, it is my honor to bestow upon you this Sapphire Blade. Congratulations!

Work't has been work'ting it hard since joining only three months ago. And as Zuza's big little brother, it's great to have another family group within Arcona rife with all of the sass that comes along with it. What's more, not only is he active, but he's active with others. Seems hardly a day goes by that I don't see him in one of the many voice chats, be it to game or to simply hang out. Now we just need him to drink the koolaid and hop into leadership and the pact will be complete.

Now since Ood's rec covers most all of the numbers, I'll leave it with this. Thanks for all that you do, Work't. Keep up the good work't and try not to let Zuza murder you anytime soon.

Adept Tasha Vel’Versea is one of those folks that you just cannot help but enjoy being around. She carries with her such a natural approach to leadership it is easy for everyone to feel comfortable around her. For the last eight months, Tasha has been helping me hold down the fort within Naga Sadow.

Tasha dove in and went right to work developing the Clan storyline and restructuring CNS resources. She helped develop and author the wiki article on the newly established Sepros Mining Outpost. For our monthly Blackguard Competition, Tasha implemented a new data sheet to track each participant's data for easy scoring. Made it quite easy even for this knuckledragger to input scores and track data when needed.

Even with all the PCon duties and all the behind the scene taskers, she still found time to assume the position of Magistrate to the Voice, where she assists the Voice Staff in the overall fictional system development of the Club.

Then she is no slouch when it comes to putting in some activity work. During her time she Co/Org’d twelve comps while participating in twenty one comps and racking in nearly two hundred Clusters. When the ProBowl kicked off she was right in the mix of things competing for team Rotworms. Then rolling into Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence, not only did she help promote War efforts, Tasha ko’d five bins of comps. Those submissions added to the overall total participation rate for CNS.

As real life priorities took precedence Tasha made the decision to step away to focus on those priorities. Regardless if she is on Summit or not, she is one of the CNS Old Guards and we have benefitted from her presence. Her contributions to this Clan cannot go unnoticed and it is with great pleasure to be able to offer this token of the Clan’s appreciation for all that she has done. Thank you for everything and congratulations on this award!

Adept Bentre Stahoes is another member belonging to the Old Guards of Sadow. There has not been much he has not been a part of during his time in the Club. He has been From Aedile to Consul, Wiki Tribune to Magistrate. Like I said, not too many hats Bentre has not worn.

Not too long after stepping away from his four year stint as Consul, he found himself back on Summit. Stepping in as Quaestor in his old stomping grounds of House Shar Dakhan he led them through two major Club events with the ProBowl VII and GJW XVI.

For the last several years, Bentre has helmed the Club's Wiki Tribune. He has oversight on the Club's vast database of history, personal, planets and all things that head to Wiki. Bentre and his staff have meticulously sifted through thousands of articles since 2018 to ensure all standards and guidelines for editing and creating Wiki Articles are met.

Bentre has kept himself quite busy in his DB career, during his tenure with HSD he put together a solid bit of activity numbers to add to his already impressive resume. The Adept accumulated twenty four Crescents two hundred and nine Clusters and twelve Scrolls of Foundation. Bentre was also able to organize HSD comps as well as DM a roleplaying session bringing in Clan/House members furthering members literary adventures and character development.

During ProBowl VII and another consecutive year Benny stepped in as CNS Team Captain for the Rotworms. Again not being afraid of getting in the mix he dove in participating & promoting the event helping lead members through a great Clan wide event! Shortly after the ProBowl we rolled directly into the Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence. Despite a hefty workload Benny dove right into GJW Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence leading the House & CNS to an impressive participation rate through both phases of the GJW. Placing CNS on the podium for acquiring the highest participation rate amongst the other Clans.

Benny’s voice and presence is felt at all levels of the Clan. He has been a constant soundboard for us all, a mentor and just an all around amazing person. Despite the plethora of admirable qualities that Bentre has to offer the Club. There comes a time in everyone’s career that hard decisions have to be made. Bentre has been no stranger to tough decisions, certain priorities needed his attention. His calm demeanor and attention to detail has made him such a respected member of the Clan. He is always willing to listen and go that extra mile for the Clan. Whether he is a Summit member or not, that is what kind of an impact he has here, there is no end to it.

Benny I cannot say thank you enough for everything you have dedicated to this Clan. It is with great pleasure and honor to be a part of this recommendation. Congratulations on this distinguished award!
