Rhylance is what I want from any Arconan that serves on the Summit. He’s driven, active, personable, reliable, and consistent. I’ll let the others sing his praises more while I bring the hard data.

On the competition front, he has organized or assisted in the organization of 57 competitions. Several of these were month-long events with multiple stages and were ran quite smoothly. He’s been no slouch himself in the time since gaining Equite 3, participating in 226 competitions. His efforts have earned him a staggering 109 Crescents (5 Diamond, 38 Ruby, 28 Amethyst, 27 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, 5 Topaz, and 1 ever elusive Quartz)!

He’s participated in gaming, engaging his fellows to aid in competition participation and racking up 23 PvP and 3 PvE events. This garnered him 99 Clusters of Fire as well. Additionally, he’s been an avid artist, taking in 37 Clusters of Graphite.

Fiction-wise, he’s managed 8 ACC matches, 4 Run On Posts, and 20 other Fiction activities which earned him 77 Clusters of Ice. He also never stops learning, passing a whole 38 Academy Courses and earning another 9 Degrees!

More esoteric, Rhylance pulled 2 Scrolls of the Master for mentoring Greenfire and Alaisy to the rank of Knight. He also earned a Silver Nova during the Rites of Supremacy. For his services to Arcona and the Brotherhood he also was rewarded with a Sapphire Blade in this time.

All of this is impressive, even more so for the course of fifteen months. I am proud to have Rhylance on my command team and even prouder to call him a friend. I am also happy to properly congratulate and welcome him to the Equite 4s! Congratulations, man, you so earned this!

Rhylance is not only a shining example of what a good leader looks like, but also an example of what a stellar member is. He is not only an asset to House Qel-Droma, but Clan Arcona and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole.

His activity levels alone are beyond what is expected of any member and are only countered by his remarkable presence within the clan. Rhylance is a consistent participant in clan discussions, a helpful nudge in the right direction for those who need it, and just overall a friendly face and voice in Telegram channels when it is needed. He never hesitates to step in and lend a helping hand when he can and his attitude toward other members is always positive and encouraging.

Additionally, he is a wonder to work for. In the nearly year he’s been the Quaestor of House Qel-Droma, we have seen a huge bump in morale and participation across the board. I am thoroughly convinced that this is a direct reflection of Rhylance’s leadership capabilities, attitude toward his role in the House and Clan, and his refusal to be anything shy of the best he can be at any given time. He sets attainable goals for his subordinates and encourages them to push themselves in whatever capacity they can.

While I could certainly continue on about how wonderful Rhylance is both personally and in a professional capacity, I believe that his activities within the club, as well as the recommendations of others (and the sheer number of recommendations presented), should be a good indicator of just how deserving he is of this promotion to EQ4. Congratulations, Chissy-face.

The Doctor is in and he is ready to entertain you now. Rhylance is not one to sit on idle hands, he is always doing something. He keeps consistent with organizing competitions, both for his house, clan, and the entire DJB. He participates in other’s competitions and shoots for completing every single competition he possibly can for any event he subscribes to. No somps to do? The man hits up the Shadow Academy or take up his scalpel in the ACC and challenges himself there.

He is a man of dedication, commitment, and great passion for the DJB and the hobbies he enjoys within. Rhylance is not one to turn down an ACC match, a collaboration or simply bring to fruition a fiction idea spurred between him and another member. I don’t mention this purely for the fact it showcases his interest in writing and how active the man is. I mention this mostly to illustrate his more than happy willingness to reach out to other members and help them feel included, to help them explore and become active themselves in what may interest them. And this trait expands throughout Rhylance’s actions with whatever he does, gaming, organizing comps, mentoring a student or his House members, etc. It’s exactly what we need in this club and so much more.

Rhylance has done great work as the Quaestor of House Qel-Droma, bringing forth new and brilliant ideas with his Summit. His Qel-Dromans seem to be thriving and invested in the story Rhylance has been helping build there. I’m excited to see where else he leads the HQD crew with the aid of his Aedile and Battleteam Leader.

It is with all of the above and more that Rhylance should be recognized with a Grand Cross. The man works no stop, and we are not going to see that slowing anytime soon. Congratulations, Rhylance. May the shadows forever becon your presence!

Rhylance could easily be considered one of the foremost role models in Arcona. His level of activity alone is an amazing thing to behold.

But it isn’t just his overall participation that makes Rhylance a spectacular member of Arcona. He is likely one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is personable and friendly on Telegram, constantly answering questions for newbies and reaching out to the more veteran members.

He truly shines as a leader, as he is always quick to provide encouragement and guidance to the members of House Qel-Droma. He is integral to the story and event planning process of the House, spurring the leadership to continuously provide great content for its members.

I could easily continue to rave about how deserving of promotion Rhylance is, but I think you get the idea. He is truly an asset to Arcona, and I am very proud to call him my Quaestor and my friend. It is my pleasure to recommend him for promotion to EQ4. Congratulations, Rhylance! One step closer to intergalactic domination!

Others will speak of Rhylance’s statistics and activity, his capability as a competitor and inspiration to other members. I wanted to briefly speak about the impact he had on my own experience in the Club. After nearly a year of being a member, I found myself without much direction or utilization. I chose to transfer to House Qel-Droma under Rhylance as Quaestor and I can say with certainty the elements he brings to the table as a leader inspired me.

I’m unsure if I would have remained an active member when I had strongly considered turning to the rogues as I was no longer providing activity to the House or Clan. I certainly would not have chosen to re-engage with the Clan’s leadership and eventually apply to retake Proconsul. Working with Rhylance reminded me of the best aspects of the Club and the partnership he had with his members is something I look forward to seeing from him in the future as he eventually ascends to further heights.

With this in mind, I wanted to simply thank Rhylance for all he has done and congratulate him on his promotion.

Alaisy is a gem that I was lucky enough to be entrusted with as her Master. Since she joined us, she has been a bastion of activity and positive conversation. Whether it is as a member of Voidbreaker, House Qel-Droma, or Clan Arcona Alaisy is always ready and eager to jump into the fray.

Since her last promotion she has participated in 24 competitions, placing in 13 of them. For her troubles she has earned 13 crescents, and 15 Clusters of Graphite. She has also played in 6 PVP and 1 PVE match earning 15 Clusters of Fire.

Alaisy has taken 3 SA courses and has proven herself to be a leader in telegram conversation. She is frequently a member of the Voidbreaker RP sessions we are now holding, and her positive attitude is infectious. I'm looking forward to seeing what else she has in store for us.

As a Magistrate to the Herald, Alaisy has earned a Grand Cross, not an easy achievement. Her constant dedication to this club has proven her worth, and her adherence to the requirements for promotion are unmistakable. It is for these reasons and so many others that I reccomend Alaisy Tir'eivra for promotion to JM4 Knight! Congrats my apprentice!

Dr. Ben, 2019-04-10 14:05:02 UTC

It’s not often we get a new recruit who jumps into the deep ravine of the Brotherhood and feather falls to the bottom with such grace and pose. Miss Alaisy Tir’eivra has exhibited such magic and keeps going without missing a beat. From exploring much of the Shadow Academy’s Archives to dancing with the dark criminals of the Shroud Syndicate as she does astonishing work under the Herald herself. She gave an astounding show of participation in the Balancing the Books event, even while juggling rl and a huge amount of dossier graphics of which Selika had detailed in the Grand Cross she awarded her. Did I mention she had already secured a Grand Cross? A feat uncommon to such a fresh member!

This woman knows no limits in what she can do, but ensures that she focus on pacing herself — a lesson many new active members do not learn until they putter out at least once. Alaisy is highly open with offering advice or help with her fellow journeyman, clanmates, and anyone in the Brotherhood. She helps promotes comps in her communities, offers to game or share ideas with her peers, and generally just is a beacon of welcoming and good-natured personality.

It is with all of the above reasons and the many presented by my peers that I support Alaisy Tir’eivra’s promotion to Knighthood. Congratulations, Sith! May the shadows keep our paths crossed as you progress!

I am delighted to announce that Dasha 'Jala' Talus is eligible for promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

Since joining her activity has been impressive. She's already taken part in 9 competitions, earning 3 Clusters of Graphite, and she has also been particularly impressive in the Shadow Academy, where she has managed to earn the second rank in the Shadow Academy's society. Jala is perhaps among the most chatty members of the clan, having joined the Taldryan Telegram chat shortly after joining the clan. She has also shown an interest in character development, having already created an approved character sheet.

Finally, she has held the rank of Private for 14 days.

Congrats, Jala!

I would like to request that Aldaric be admitted to the Equites of the Brotherhood.

Since appointing him as my Aedile in December 2018, I have been incredibly impressed with Aldaric. Not only has he been the perfect first mate on the administrative side, but he's demonstrated what is in my opinion the most important quality of a DB leader: he leads by example.

His activity has been first rate. Since his last promotion, he has taken part in an incredible 125 competitions, placing in 56 of these. He has also been prominent on the gaming scene, earning 277 Clusters of Fire and 204 Clusters of Earth. He's also earned 2 Clusters of Ice and 14 Clusters of Graphite.

Aldaric has also recruited a member, Edric, and is in the process of doing a fine job in getting him to his Knighthood.

As Aedile, Aldaric's work has been largely to support my leadership of the house. He's always had a lot to say on developing Archanis' early lore, and his help in running competitions is absolutely invaluable. Without an Aedile as active and flexible as Aldaric, I would find the job of Quaestor much more difficult.

Keep up the good work, my friend!

, 2019-04-07 10:45:09 UTC

Aldaric has joined the Clan about four months ago after being appointed as Aedile of House Archanis and since then has been a strong addition to the Clan's Summit. Going up and above what is expected to from an Aedile, Aldaric is always approachable whether it is to engage with other members of the Club on Telegram or by adding his opinion to Clan Projects even not holding back if it means to disagree with those in a higher position. He does so while maintaining a high level of activity, may it be through leading the competition participation board of the Clan or being a forefront member of Taldryan's gamers, all while at the same time being heavily involved in the behind the curtain work that keeps Archanis running or serving as a member of the Fist staff where he organizes competitions on different levels while helping to develop the recently new formed House.

Aldaric, congratulations on your well earned promotion, there are great things ahead of you and you have all takes to grab them.

Rian Taldrya, 2019-03-28 00:38:35 UTC

Aldaric first impressed me with his application for Aedile and he has continued his impressive ways since joining Taldryan. He has been an active member of the community, both in public chat and as someone I enjoy talking strategy and direction with. He has been an activity monster and I enjoy constantly seeing his name regularly show up in my emails as not just a participation but also a regular crescent winner of varied competitions.

Most importantly though is how well he has fit into our burgeoning clans leadership team. We quickly grew from three active members of the team to six and having someone like Aldaric join and integrate so smoothly is such an amazing benefit. Even as someone new to the Clan and a leadership position he seems comfortable offering clear and concise opinions on matters of importance. I honestly forget that he hasn’t just been around for years.

I am so happy Aldaric decided to join Taldryan, and our leadership team. I look forward to working with him even more going forward.

Raiheaux, 2019-03-28 12:55:48 UTC

Over the past two months, Aldaric has show himself to be an excellent member of the Fist staff. From the second he came on staff, he made every effort to learn the ins and outs of every supported platform in the DJB.

Aldaric has run multiple DB-level competitions, ranging from simple flash games to the more difficult Bracket-style competitions. He has approved more activities in two months than anyone else on staff combined, logging over 150 PvE/PvO activities and 14 PvP activities.

Additionally, Aldaric is an extremely positive contributer to the DB Gaming community, regularly sharing gaming news, actively working to play with new members, and pushing activity for Fist and clan Gaming competitions.

Aldaric is a rising star in the club, and I am extremely fortunate to have him serving as a member of my staff. I am thrilled to have the chance to be part of his recommendation for promotion to the Equites.

Congrats Aldaric!
