A'lora has spent years as a leader in Clan Odan-Urr, working on the summit far longer than he spent as the key leader as the Consul for over a year. After which he has given incredible support to the DC offices he has engaged with contributing to the Herald office, as well as the Voice and Regent offices, at each stop providing support and improving the experience for members with his leadership and guidance. Personally supporting me as I worked on projects as Deputy Grand Master making key contributions to some projects that took place to improve member experience and quality of life. I look back at the sacramental medals and merit medals earned during his time as a leader and thinking about how he contributed and built so much content, and so many words I had trouble reading them all and not just skimming and had trouble not seeing A'lora among the ranks of Elders in this club for his incredible contributions. Congratulations A'lora on your promotion.

A’lora or Moro as many know him is a bit of a legend in Odan-Urr as the first Consul of Clan Odan-Urr and one who’s record of service stretches all the way back to the formation of House Odan-Urr. The list of positions and projects he has worked on since his last promotion spans almost the entire breadth of Brotherhood activity; the Voice, Regent, and Herald offices all benefited from his service as did the Odan-Urr summit. As Consul Moro shepherded Odan-Urr from a struggling House to a full-blown Clan with a strong foundation. Everything from our lore, the culture of our summit to the standard set for our titleholders was established by Moro. When it became clear we outgrow New Tython, our home as House, Moro helped create Kiast the system we are still fleshing out almost six years later. All the leaders that came after, myself included, have followed in his footsteps.

You would think one who basically helped establish a successful clan would rest on their laurels and enjoy a well-deserved retirement. Not Moro. When the summit needed him, he stepped up. When the club needed his skills, he stepped up. Time and time again. Another aspect of Moro is his down-to-earth humility. All the things he’s done and all the times he answered the call were done quietly, with no expectation of reward or the spotlight. Things needed to be done and he did them. That is the attitude of an elder.

Elders are those who work for the good of the entire community and make a positive impact for the club. Sometimes that impact takes the form of a massive project or systems change but sometimes it’s a lengthy period of impactful and consistent service. Odan-Urr simply would not be the place it without Moro and the club is a better place for his consistent service. On behalf of Odan-Urr and the club thank you for everything you do.

I can honestly say that this Clan, along with the entirety of the Club, would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for the hard work and dedication Moro has put into both over the years. Our deep lore, the complexity of biomes of many of our worlds, and rich stories over the years have made Odan-Urr an inviting and immersive place where members can create elaborate backstories and breathe new life into their characters. We have Moro to thank for much of it.

Since his last promotion, Moro has earned 2 Sapphire Blades, 3 Steel Crosses, 2 Anteian Crosses, and 1 Dark Cross. He has participated in 209 competitions earning himself 4 Gold Nova, 2 Silver Nova, 2 Bronze Nova, 5 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 2 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 13 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 5 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 7 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 6 Crescents with Topaz Stars and 1 Crescent with Quartz Star. His gaming activities have earned him 11 Pendants of Blood, 246 Clusters of Fire, and 532 Clusters of Earth. His 16,790 words of fiction and 6 ACC battles have earned him 63 Clusters of Ice. For his art, he’s earned 36 Clusters of Graphite. He has also organized 14 competitions, co-organized 14, 3 Dark Side Scrolls, 1 Legion of the Scholar, 2 Seals of Loyalty, 13 Seals of Wrath, 10 Seals of Fury, 12 Seals of Discord, 11 Seals of Visions, 3 Seals of Enmity, passed 26 Shadow Academy courses and earned 2 degrees.

Moro has also held the positions of Consul, Praetor to the Voice, Quaestor, Magistrate to the Herald, Magistrate to the Regent, and Praetor to the Deputy Grand Master.

Thank you Moro for everything you’ve contributed to Odan-Urr since its creation. This has been a home for many and will continue to be, long into the future. Congratulations on this well-earned promotion to Elder!

You're already beginning to make a name for yourself, Malephisius. I have heard reports from House Galeres that you have managed to:

• Perform a basic activity, such as contacting the house/clan summit

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,

Today I am taking action on something that probably should have happened a couple years ago.

Frosty Romanae Tarentae was one of the DB’s best gamers. His name was always somewhere in the top three for GJW and Vendetta gaming events. One of the last true PvP gamers, Frosty was a force to be reckoned with in Jedi Academy. But above all, he was someone who loved gaming and enjoyed participating and having fun with the members of this club.

Since his last promotion in 2016, Frosty has earned multiple accolades including sacramental awards, merit medals, novae, crescents, and over a thousand clusters. He organized and ran over 70 competitions, and participated in (and in many cases won) just as many.

Sadly, we lost Frosty in 2018. It is my hope that this posthumous promotion to Elder provides some closure to those who knew him, and also truly recognizes a person who gave so much to this club.

Frosty was one of the best, and while he did not live to see this promotion, it is still well deserved and long overdue.

Congratulations, Frosty. You are missed.

Master Dracaryis, 2022-01-07 05:29:42 UTC

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

• Have an approved character sheet on record
• Write 750 words of character fiction as reviewed and approved by your unit leadership or master.

I will continue to watch your progress, Shard, 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,

Having served 21 days in the rank, Balthasar continues to become a great(er) member of Arcona! He has completed 10 out of the 9 requirements for promotion including participation in 19 competitions, 3 of which he placed in! He also organised and closed a gaming competition, as well as earning 2 pendants of blood! On top of that, he passed the 2 leadership exams with flying colours and reached rank IV in the Shadow Academy, exceeding expectations once more.

Due to all these hard-earned achievements, I thus recommend Balthasar for his next Journeyman rank! Congratulations Balthasar, and carry on with the good work.

Since my take over as Herald, Aylin has been an important asset to the Herald staff. So far she has designed the custom robes for 2 different members but also created 2 sets of selector robes for the most recent Herald release that aired a couple of days ago. While these numbers don't seem much, the creation of (custom) robes yet alone entire sets made from various style and color variations is an extensive feat that takes a lot of time and effort.

Aylin presents a steady voice on the Herald staff, commenting and aiding in increasing the quality of the staff's work while also sharing a lot of personal art pieces in the Brotherhood's official art channels back on Telegram and now on our Discord server.

This daily presence is backed up by an outstanding participation record of Competition participation. Since her last recognition, Aylin has earned herself 2 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 1 Crescent with Sapphire Star, and 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, making her score in 4 of 5 Competitions she participated in. Further she snagged herself more than two dozen Clusters from said Competitions (12 Clusters of Graphite and 13 Clusters of Ice)

These are only the most recent achievements of Aylin and show only a fraction of what she has done since her last promotion more than two years ago. For all the above and all that Aylin will surely do in the future, it is my greatest honor to recommend her to be promoted to Reaver (Equite4)

Well done, Aylin.

Rian Taldrya, 2022-01-02 08:56:01 UTC

Geez, where do I even start with Aylin? She's an absolute powerhouse of activity, and someone that Taldryan is proud to have in the Clan. Rian has already spoken about her activity, having participated in 77 since her last promotion back in 2019, so I'm going to take the time to tell you about the stuff that the website doesn't keep track off.

Firstly, and perhaps, the most obvious, is her artwork. Rian already touched on Aylin sharing her pieces in the art chat, but there's a bit more to it. A lot of be time, Aylin does pieces for members of their characters, pieces such as this and this, completely free, a lot of the time without even being asked. It's not like this is a responsibility for her on the Herald staff, she just does it because she enjoys it and she cares about this community, and that speaks a lot for her as a member.

Next, I would be remiss if I didn't include her activity in Taldryan's RP chat. Aylin is one of the most enthusiastic contributors to Taldryan's RP scene, often posting daily, and driving forward the story with her characters. In total, she has written 17783 words since her last promotion.

Unfortunately, that doesn't even cover it all. Aylin is the type that enjoys writing with others, and has written a number of cooperative stories with myself, such as this and this. The word count is honestly in the thousands.

I am happy to join Rian in recommending Aylin for promotion to EQ4. Congratulations, Aylin!
