Event History

In the year long Dark Crusade Obelisk Primarch Shi Long only participated in 5 competitions, but out of those 5 competitions, he managed to score 2 gold novae and a silver novae. For this awesome display of skill, we are recommending that Shi be awarded the Anteian Cross.

Congratulations Shi!

BTL of Shadow Gate

Since I came back to Soulfire 4 months past, Vynn has been a welcome member of the squad, always there to help, to participate, and to succeed. Vynn is the sort of member a leader loves to have, because he is consistent, he will tell you exactly what he thinks and, more importantly, his activity makes me look better

In all serious though, Vynn's activity over this Dark Crusade doesn't quite do him justice. He managed 10 entries out of a possible 31, despite the fact that he has things which tax him outside of the Dark Brotherhood. He made time where he could, and he contributed and for this, I am extremely grateful to him. Since I came back, he has helped me to keep the squad active by being a vocal member of the group, doing events as and when he can find the time, and being a fundamentally good bloke in the bargain.

Vynn, you've been a star and I want to thank you for your hard work and dedication. I look forward to you continuing in Arcona for a long time, and hopefully you'll find this token of my appreciation acceptable.

Keep on trucking.

Battleteam Leader of Soulfire Strike Team

Ah, Wes. Loud, obnoxious, brash, he is almost the atypical Australian. Dedicated, driven, fun, he is certainly Arconan. Wes is someone who I've known for a long time now, and in all of those years there has always been one consistant fact, and that is that Wes will always do as much as he can when it comes to being active. I know full well that he is a very busy person in real life, but despite that he will find ways of entering competitions, even if it taxes him to do so and means he misses out on some greatly needed beauty sleep. This fact can be seen most by his participating in 14 of 31 possible events over the Dark Crusade, despite him working a ridiculous number of hours (50-60 normally) a week in real life. He would drag himself home, force himself to stay awake so that he could contribute and help out this Clan which he loves.

However, it's not just his activity that makes Wes deserving of rewards, it is also the fact that he is there to help people. He has proofed many a fiction when he has been needed, he has helped members out in gaming so that they too can contribute to their Clan's push for victory, and not once has he asked for recognition, he does it simply because he can and he wants to help. That is a member that I want to see rewarded, because ultimately that's the sort of member who deserves it. For his hard work, his dedication, those sleepless nights and those fun filled forays onto IRC, thank you Wes for everything you've done and continue to do to help out your Clan and it's members. Keep it up bud, or I'll beat you...

Battleteam Leader of Soulfire Strike Team

Riverche has been a pleasure to work with since I came back to Soulfire as it's new BTL. Rather than sitting back, River was there to welcome me and help me to get settled by offering help where needed, by being in good communication and by being active. The ultimate trio of things that someone looks for when coming into a new position, River was a breath of fresh air to me, for which I am extremely grateful.

Not only that however, but during the Dark Crusade Riverche was on hand to participate in 17 of the possible 31 events, despite her real life being there to take attention away, she still managed to participate in more than half the events and manage to place in 4 events in the bargain, bringing home 2 Gold Nova and 2 Bronze Nova. It is not only that she is active, it's that she does things well, and for that I thank her.

Riverche has been a pleasure to lead, and continues to be a great member to have around. I know how hard it can be sometimes to balance real life and being active in the DB, but River manages it with aplomb. Her levels of activity and her help with getting me set up with the new squad, not to mention her friendly nature and approachability is something that I hope to be fortunate enough to enjoy as her BTL for the future. Congratulations River, you've more than earnt this.

Battleteam Leader of Soulfire Strike Team

River came to us a recruit from a friend, and I've had the pleasure of watching her go from barely saying a word to anyone on IRC to one of the more helpful and vocal members in the Clan when it comes to helping others. She is always the first one to attempt to answer anyone's questions (whether they are new or old) and does it with a brisk efficiency. I think the first time I saw her use an exclamation mark, I fell out of my chair. Her performance through each round of the Dark Crusade was impressive, and despite joining in the middle of all that madness she completed her Knight trials and continues to demonstrate dedication and loyalty to Clan Arcona.

Invictus is one of those guys who is vocal and visible whether he's in a leadership position or not, and he was instrumental in drumming up participation throughout the Dark Crusade. He's a savvy veteran, with a pair of recent (and highly successful) tours of Battleteam leadership.

Veterans like Vic are chronically underappreciated, because when you're an upper-level Equite and you don't have a position slapped next to your name, you're easily overlooked. But without his sound advice, his selflessness, and his diligence -- and the similar work of other Arconan veterans -- neither the Summit nor the Journeymen would be as successful.

Add on to all of these intangibles the Novae that Invictus hauled in during the Crusade, and tack on his newest star recruit, Verse Theris, and you have all of the makings of a Sapphire Blade recipient. Congratulations, Vic -- you earned this.

Proconsul of Arcona

Vic is the type of Veteran every member should be like. He bleeds for Arcona. He's an advisor to the entire Arcona Summit. He's a Magistrate to the Seneschal, but also works on coding the Arcona website. He's one of our go to guys when there needs to be a spreadsheet made. He served twice as a Battleteam Leader and was the last BTL of Void Squadron.

On Ziost, he went 4/4. He's won 5 Novae and participated in 19/31 total events during the Dark Crusade. He motivated our members to tie on Ziost and end up taking second due to participation on Ziost and the entire Dark Crusade.

Verse Theris is one of our most promising new recruits and went 4/4 on Ziost, as well and Vic was the recruiter.

Vic carries many hats, but every hat is worn for Arcona. For unwavering dedication and so much more I'm proud to be involved in awarding your second Sapphire Blade.

Quaestor of Qel-Droma

Man, thank goodness for Valtiere. During my time as Quaestor of Qel-Droma, Valtiere served as a Battleteam Leader, and he was one of the most effective and reliable leaders that I worked with in the House. He's been an absolute model of efficiency in the Dark Crusade, and has coaxed out tons of submissions from his members in between his own efforts.

When I got the call-up to Proconsul, I was initially concerned about Qel-Droma, given that the House was losing its Quaestor and Aedile all at once. That concern faded seconds later, when I remembered that Valtiere was still on the staff. His transition to Aedile was seamless, and the support he has provided to Ernordeth during the transfer to Quaestor has been critical to Qel-Droma's sustained excellence.

I'm excited to see what Valtiere can do in the future, and I know that his leadership will continue to elevate Qel-Droma and reflect well on himself and his Clan. Thanks for your incredible dedication and your herculean efforts this year, Valt -- the rest of us are still watching, and I'm sure the second act will be as fantastic as the first.

Proconsul of Clan Arcona

Valtiere is an important member of not only Qel-Droma, but Arcona as well. As Battleteam Leader he was extremely effective. During his transition to Aedile and a new job in real life he did not disappear. He stepped up to the challenge and went 4/4 on Ziost, amounting to an amazing 27/31 entries for the entire Dark Crusade. He was a great General for our Main Forces leading to 4 Novae, with the most recent being for an amazing Ad Campaign video.

Now that the Dark Crusade is over we've been discussing ways for Valt to be a more visible Aedile and for that to basically just be a second Quaestor of Qel-Droma. I cannot wait to watch what we're going to accomplish together next.

Thank you for all of your hard work! I look forward to celebrating your first sacramental award and our future!

Clan Arbiter was an experiment of a position that was created to help bridge relations between the upper Summit and the Clan as a whole. Feta stepped into this role and made it her own. While the role has since faded and she now is present only as a "regular" member, Feta still serves as an active and important part of the Arcona family. She has helped mentor two of our members to Dark Jedi Knight, one of which (Atty) who has gone on to be an Aedile and the other (Kanis) who is now serving as a BTL. She is easily approachable, friendly, and can help resolve issues better than anyone else I've ever met.

Since her promotion to Knighthood earlier in the year, Feta quietly sneaks in at 17 / 31 events in the Dark Crusade while also scoring 2 novae of her own. Despite having a stressful wedding to plan for herself, Feta made a dedicated effort to remain a part of Arcona in it's final chapters. It's that level of commitment that makes Feta such a unique part of Clan Arcona.

Keep up the amazing work, Feta, and thanks for the hard work.

Alaris transferred into Taldryan after the first Phase of the Dark Crusade and since then he has been nothing but an overcomer, having participated in almost two third of the events available to him since he joined us and placed in three of four of the events he participated in since his joining. Alaris you are a true asset to Taldryan and you have truly amazed me since your joining. For all that you have done for Taldryan, I want to thank you with this small token of appretiation. Alaris Jinn, on behalf of Taldryan, I am hereby requesting you to be awarded a Steel Cross.

I am honoured to be recommending Atyiru Entar for her first ever Sacramental Award. Since she has joined the club she has brought a constant level of high activity, not only developing herself as a member but expanding herself as a leader. She has helped to promote other Journeymen as well while proving herself as an experienced and driven leader inside of Clan Arcona.

Since I took Atyiru on as Aedile of House Galeres, she has stepped seamlessly into being my right hand. She constantly helps me running the House from the day to day, making sure that we are always interacting with members and communicating with them. She has been a constant aid to me coming up with new ideas and ways to continue to motivate the members of the House, helping send out day to day emails and constantly helping out with proofing work as well. She has been a stellar example of what a member should be.

Now time to talk about the achievements that Atyriu has accomplished inside her roles in Leadership. She has constantly been improving the house, on every level the big impact that I have seen in my time as Quaestor is her continuous level of activity with the Battleteam Leadership, making sure that the House Summit is continuously in contact with each other. She has been an assistant to recommendations from merit medals to Promotions, keeps track with the members, and assists with making sure that we know who is due an award. As well as serving as Aedile of Galeres for five months, the impact that she has been doing can not fully be appreciated with simple words. With the new addition to the Summit of Kordath taking on his role, she has been a mentor to him teaching him not only the ropes and running of the day to day work of the team. But everything from submitting medals as well as creating reports. Being the first step in this close support network is something that she continues to provide to the members and the leaders. She is also working on her first apprentice, Kooki who is progressing quickly through the ranks and is expected to hit DJK before the year ends.

Congratulations Atyiru on your first sacramental award, your hard work and devotion to this Clan and Galeres has been outstanding. I am truly proud to have someone as skilled and as dedicated fill the role of my Aedile. Keep up the hard work Atyiru you are doing a fantastic job currently.

Quaestor of House Galeres

Atyiru has not been a member for as long as some, but the influence she clearly has within Arcona is simply amazing. Right from the get go she dived into the banter on IRC, unafraid to exchange insults with veterans such at Cethgus or myself. I knew that in time, she would be an excellent leader, and has proven such, especially since her appointment to Aedile. In fact, if you were to ask for a textbook Aedile, I would point you to Atty; she is calm, collected, and completely neutral in her day-to-day dealings with members. She is also one of the most patient souls I know of in the Brotherhood, and I know that she is one of the first people I can go to if I myself need help or advice with a situation.

Enjoy your first Sacramental, Abbey. I know it'll be far from being the last.

Rollmaster of Clan Arcona
