Qyreia has a long history as a successful leader in Arcona, and for the last four months has done an impressive job of motivating the clan and keeping up its momentum. Since his last award, Qyreia has participated in 77 competitions, written almost 100,000 words of fiction, won 3 GNs, 4 SNs, and 3 BNs, and picked up 12 CFs, 357 CEs, 219 CIs, and 38 CGs. Qyreia also secured the title of Second Heroine of the Fifteenth Great Jedi War: Ascension and First Clan of the Brotherhood for Arcona.

You've made quite a splash in your first few months as CON. Keep it up!

Appius has been a whirlwind of activity since his promotion to EQ3, organizing 55 competitions and participating in 135 of them and picking up two dozen crescents. He has also been an absolutely prolific writer, churning out 62,000 words for fiction comps (including three SNs for GJW fiction comps and a GN for the clan run-on) plus another nearly 29,000 words in Discord-based RP sessions. All of that writing earned him a truly impressive 235 CIs, but he also managed to find time to pick up 97 CGs from graphics competitions and 25 Seals of Ascension (and placing 11th overall in the vendetta). In short, this guy is one of our most active leaders.

His work as Consul has been similarly impressive. Under his leadership, Taldryan secured Third Clan of the Brotherhood after an extremely close fight for 2nd place, and the clan's success is due in large part to Appius' hard work organizing and encouraging his members. Prior to the vendetta, he also co-organized a very successful 21-comp inter-clan event with CSP: The Great Ewok Hunt, which drew strong participation from both clans.

Congratulations on the new stabby, Appius!

Since earning an SB last summer, Slags has worked hard to keep momentum going in Clan Plagueis. He has identified and fostered talented new leaders and old vets alike, spearheading the highly successful Pro Bowl V, and organizing 14 competitions. In addition, he personally participated in 80 comps and earned 32 CFs, 305 CEs, 18 CIs, and 12 CGs, plus two GNs and 2 SNs and the title of Third Hero of GJW XV (not to mention 29 seals for participating in each competition)!

Plagueis has maintained solid participation numbers under Slags' leadership and grown to become the third largest clan in the Brotherhood. Beyond all of the work he does on a regular basis for his clan, he also takes a strong interest in the development of the club as a whole, and I greatly appreciate his input during leadership discussions.

I would like to note that this is his fourth AK, making him just the second member in the club to be able to quad-wield them. His PCON, Alaris, is the other, so the Plagueis summit is armed to the teeth. Congratulations, Slags!

Since he picked up a Grand Cross seven months ago, Korvis has kept up his impressive run of personal activity while also leading Vizsla through Great Jedi War XV: Ascension. He has organized 13 competitions and participated in 86, picking up 34 crescents for his efforts. He's also earned 36 CFs, 28 CEs, 27 CGs, and 4 CIs.

As Consul, Korvis has worked hard to keep his clan active, overseeing the most recent Great Hunt and helping to rally solid participation numbers during the GJW. He maintains an active presence in clan and general chats on Discord, and is an extremely reliable and levelheaded member of Yammer, always providing valuable and timely input on discussions.

Congratulations and keep up the good work, Korvis!

Ciara started the year by launching a major fictional revamp of the Shadow Academy, expanding its fictional focus and revamping the society awards -- including a first-of-its-kind CS perk. She has kept up a steady stream of competitions, helped make SA-led trivia a regular event on Discord, and continued the never-ending process of revising existing SA courses and launching new ones while also overseeing the largest staff of any position in the club. She also pitched in during the War to run comps outside her SA lane, which is always appreciated!

Congratulations, Ciara!

Rian has done a great job running the Herald office and was a major contributor in his first vendetta on the DC. He took over the job at the end of the last vendetta and did an excellent job wrapping up the remaining work, getting dossier art out in a timely manner. He and his staff have also kept up a solid pace for processing requests and releasing new content.

Congrats, Rian!

Firstly, one must commend Ood for his grand amounts of activity over his career in DB. One would describe Ood Bnar as being a very passionate member of Arcona. He is not only superbly involved with his vast amounts of competition participation but also on Discord as he offers feedback and member insight to developments related to the house and battle team. Since the last merit (just seven months ago), Ood has achieved the following awards: 1 Silver Nova for the Clan-Wide Run On during the GJW XV Ascension, 16 Clusters of Ice with 5,669 words, 3 Clusters of Earth, 7 Clusters of Graphite, and 12 Seals of Ascension for his activity during the war. He participated in 100% of the bins within the war and his efforts helped propel Arcona to 1st place victory. No matter what activity is needed to assist the clan, Ood is not afraid to participate. This is evident by the 709,410 credits earned for the clan. Since the last merit, he has participated in 131 competitions and was awarded many Crescents: 5 Diamond, 9 Ruby, 12 Amethyst, 24 Sapphire, 13 Emerald, 16 Topaz, and 3 Quartz.

From the sheer amounts of activity in such a short span of time, it would be an honor to award him with an Amethyst Kukri to show how appreciated his efforts are.

Thank you for all you do Ood and I hope to see you steamroll through all of the activities as you do.

Alaris has been an excellent right hand during my tenure as Consul of Clan Plagueis, a solid pillar upon which we can build around on our staff. They have been a solid contributor as both an individual participant as well as in the capacity of leadership and mentoring.

As a competitor, Alaris has managed to find plenty of bandwidth in addition to their duties as Proconsul. During the recent Great Jedi War, Alaris submitted to 19 total competitions (while gaining 100% bin participation), earning 1 Gold Nova and an additional 7 top ten placements to bring in 510 points for our Clan during the event. Their points alone accounted for nearly 20% of the points our entire Clan earned, making those contributions absolutely critical as they are the difference between the fourth place our Clan earned and finishing in sixth place. All told, they have participated in 74 total competitions since their most recent promotion, placing in 31 of them to collect 6 Diamond, 7 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 2 Sapphire, 1 Emerald, 4 Topaz, and 3 Quartz crescents to go along with the aforementioned Nova. Never one to shy away from a good bit of gaming, Alaris has also earned 131 Clusters of Fire and 315 Clusters of Earth across 53 gaming activities. They rounded out their cluster collection over the last seven months with 4 Clusters of Graphite for art and 7 Clusters of Ice for their 2,010 words of fiction. Also, proving that an old dog can always learn new tricks, Alaris also passed 16 Shadow Academy courses and earned a Shadow Academy degree as well.

A remarkable collection of work to be sure, but Alaris also shined in a leadership role while providing support and activities for others. They organized 3 competitions and served as co-organizer on another. Additionally, they earned a scroll of indoctrination and a scroll of the master for first recruiting and then mentoring Nora Olen to the rank of JM4 (though she has since moved on to her first Equite rank). Nora also collected 516 of our Clan's points, so Alaris is also directly or one place removed from responsibility for 35% of the Clan's points. Like I said above, critical contributions. In their role as Proconsul, Alaris has been key at identifying shortcomings and gaps amongst our staff and our processes. Most importantly, Alaris has served directly as a mentor for Khryso Mallus as Quaestor of House Tyranus since the latter moved up from the position of Aedile, providing pivotal instruction to help out with unfamiliar DB processes and administrative features. During the Great Jedi War they served as one of our many dedicated staffers that were encouraging the membership and helping drive our activity levels to increase nearly over 23% when compared to last year's Rite of Supremacy, even as we saw some of our more veteran members able to bring less to the table last year. In short, Plaguies is not where it is right now without Alaris and what they bring to the Summit.

Their service has been exemplary, and both the Clan as a whole and myself in particular are extremely honored to have enjoyed the fruits of Alaris's labor. It had been a while since Alaris had been in the leadership of the Ascendant Clan, but even nearly a decade away was not enough to dull their abilities or drive for our Clan's success. Many thanks, Alaris.

Since his promotion last December Khryso has continued to demonstrate the level of activity and excellence that has been his hallmark since joining Clan Plagueis. He has maintained a, some might say, excessive level of activity while leading his House since making the move from Aedile to Quaestor.

Activity wise, he has put up numbers that have just become his norm even while they are truly excellent. Since his most recent promotion, he has participated in 154 competitions in total. His entries have gone on to net him 47 competition crescents for his placements: 4 Diamond, 10 Ruby, 12 Amethyst, 11 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, 4 Topaz, and 1 Quartz crescents. Additionally, he has collected 16 Clusters of Ice for 7,849 words of fiction and 6 Clusters of Graphite for graphics entries. As a leader, he stepped up into the role of Quaestor of House Tyranus from his Aedile position when the former became vacant. In that stead he has maintained communication with his membership and released his monthly reports on time each month (save for during the course of the recent Great Jedi War when the summit was directed to focus on the war effort). Most importantly, Khryso has continued to be the Clan's most valuable resources in updating its lore and related wiki articles. He completed update on the Clan Plagueis history article to bring it up to the current time at the beginning of this year, finished major updates to the Fort Dooku article to establish the headquarters of House Tyranus, and also created the wiki article for the newly created Battle Team Talzin. His work in this area has been especially valuable, as the primary and often only member of the leadership team working on these projects.

Thank you, Khryso, for your continued dedication and work for our Clan. The members of both Clan Plagueis and House Tyranus are in your debt for the tireless work you perform.

Warlord Tasha’Vel Versea is a constant reminder of what a leader is. As Aedile of House Shar Dakhan, she and the Quaestor are on a never ending quest to improve the Clan and their House.

Tasha is no slouch when it comes to competitions and kicking butt. Since her last recognition she has organized/Co-Org’d nineteen competitions, participated in eighty nine and amassed two hundred and sixty two gaming activities. Pretty impressive numbers if I do say so myself. Adding to that Tasha has amassed an even more impressive amount of medals during the same time period. A total of thirty four Crescents, twenty four hundred and forty six Clusters of Fire. Yes, that number is correct. Five Clusters of Ice followed by another staggering total of seventeen hundred and eighty four Clusters of Earth. She also earned three Clusters of Graphite and one Seal of Loyalty. These numbers are just a small snapshot of how her presence is felt across the Clan.

During her time as Aedile she and the Questor organized the Going Viking Event for the Clan. When she is not furthering House development, Tasha has ventured off to assist the Club in many different roles. She has had positions as an Appeals Panelist within the CoJ. Currently she holds a position as the Magistrate to the Voice. Tasha is always looking to give back to the Club in a plethora of ways. Always setting the example, leading from the front. She is a valuable asset to the Clan and I am honored to call her a friend.

During the War she was ever present assisting folks with proofs for fictions and encouraging our folks to partake in comps. Besides all that, she showcased herself by competing in every competition bin. To top all her GJW activity off, the Warlord garnered herself a Silver Novae for the GJW Cluster race. She racked up an impressive twenty five hundred and thirteen points for supported gaming. Then added another four hundred and seventy two points in the casual gaming arena. Handidly claiming her coveted medal. Her list of accolades continue to add up and impress everyone within the Clan. She is a proven force to be reckoned with.

Her accomplishments say a lot about her. But her pureness and devotion to the Clan is deafening. This is just a small token of the Clan’s appreciation for everything you do. It is with great pleasure to be able to present this award to you! Well deserved!
