But wait, there’s more! In the few minutes since her last promotion, Nora has continued to be a force that impacts Clan Plagueis at every level. Her continued high activity levels serve to set the example for all of our members, while her work on our leadership team is second to none. In the last few minutes, Nora has been one of our best members in Clan Plagueis.

In all seriousness, Nora is one of the most valued members of the Ascendant Clan. In her time since joining our Clan, Nora has participated in an astounding 1,719 competitions, and she’s earned exactly 1,000 crescents for her placements (yeah, that’s right, a literal millennium of crescents). Those numbers are astounding, but I think they really undersell what Nora has meant to the Brotherhood and Clan Plagueis. Nora has earned 25,639 XP on her various merit awards and sacramentals outside of what was tracked by the website. That means her contributions in Brotherhood level staff positions, in clan and house leadership, and generally working on projects and doing the work that goes on behind the scenes to make our club work alone earned enough XP to exceed that needed to advance to Equite 3. So sure, if you stripped out every bit of activity our site tracks, the work that is consumption and not providing for others, Nora would still be a highly ranked Equite on that work alone.

As I often say, leadership is making sure that everyone else at the party is having a good time even if you might not be. Nora has faced that reality more than most, and continued to work for those around her to make our club a kick-ass party for everyone. This speaks more to the quality of her character than any other metric, and illustrates how valuable her work has been more than any other number on our activity tracker can ever capture.

As such, it makes me exceedingly lucky to put forward Nora for advancement to the rank of Elder. She has demonstrated that she is the kind of member, leader, and in general person that those of us that lead our club need to thank for their efforts at every opportunity. So, in short, thank you, Nora, for everything that you have done here. My congratulations are overdue and also insufficient, but I’m glad to be able to give them all the same.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Nora Olen for promotion to Equite 4. Nora consistently embodies the leadership, dedication, and excellence expected of our senior members. Her steady record of activity, organizational contributions, and service to Clan Plagueis make her more than deserving of this recognition.

As Quaestor of House Tyrannus, Nora has been instrumental in driving activity and engagement. Under her leadership, Tyrannus has maintained strong participation in competitions, roleplaying, and broader Clan initiatives. She has ensured members feel included and motivated, while also fostering communication and support that help the House thrive. Beyond Tyrannus, she has been a consistent voice in Clan Plagueis—supporting Clan-wide events, collaborating with leaders, and providing feedback that sustains momentum across the entire community.

Alongside her leadership, Nora has remained a highly active participant. She has competed in 88 non-container events, earning 1 Diamond, 4 Ruby, 17 Amethyst, 27 Sapphire, 17 Emerald, and 5 Topaz Crescents—an extraordinary placement ratio of over 80%. Her activity awards further underscore her versatility: 68 Clusters of Graphite for graphics, 48 Clusters of Fire for gaming, and even a Cluster of Ice from a 538-word roleplaying session. This balance of activity and leadership highlights her commitment to leading by example, all culminating in her being awarded a Ruby Scepter for her outstanding efforts.

Nora has proven herself to be a dedicated leader and an engaged participant. Her contributions as Quaestor of House Tyrannus and within Clan Plagueis as a whole have been critical to maintaining activity and fostering a vibrant community. Coupled with her exceptional competition record and wide array of awards, she has more than earned advancement

I strongly and confidently recommend Nora Olen for promotion to Equite 4.
