Since earning his last medal, Wade has participated in 117 competitions and earned 37 Crescents (3 Diamond, 1 Ruby, 8 Amethyst, 17 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, 2 Topaz, & 1 Quartz). He’s written 2865 words across 2 ACC battles, 4503 additional words spread over 5 fiction competitions, and 3934 words over 2 RP Sessions. He’s earned 9 Clusters of Fire, 24 Clusters of Ice, 110 Clusters of Graphite, and a Seal of Loyalty. He’s passed 7 Shadow Academy Courses and acquired 3 degrees as a result of this work. Finally, Wade has also ranked up seven times across the various societies.

He was also a part of the debate and ultimate decision to roll back the Civil War and reorient the clan storyline in another direction. Helping plot out and set up the alternate course by helping to lay the groundwork for several upcoming storylines. During the work on the upcoming planetary expansion, Wade has provided creative solutions to problems as they arose as well as providing feedback at crucial times to further set up the planet’s backstory.

Additionally, he’s been working with Teebu on increasing his Wiki skills to further improve his abilities and better serve as a member of the summit.

He’s been a consistently solid presence on discord and seems to always be either sharing knowledge, or interacting with other members, working towards improving their experience of the Clan and Club. This year, he’s stepped this up and become one of the reasons Taldryan has such a vibrant and sociable community. Wade is always there to answer questions, assist others, and generally make the Clan a better place.

Congratulations on the Sapphire Blade Wade, you’ve more than earned this!

Lexiconus has come back to us after a long hiatus with the force of a hurricane. He settled in with ease and got to work with all sorts of activity from writing to gaming, earning clusters and crescents like there's no tomorrow. He has participated in over 50 comps, organized 1 competition so far, earned 158 clusters of fire, 14 cluster of ice, 8 clusters of graphite, ranked up 18 times in our societies, wrote over 8000 words of fiction alone. He's been enjoying his time in our social RP as we all get to know each other again in character, with some new faces as well. Lexic has helped shaped the tone of the RP with a compassionate hand, weaving a compelling story together, enveloping the timid writers under his wing and letting them flourish. It's been fantastic having him return to us with his positivity and creativity. He is a great example of being a leader without the title. He has proved his dedication to us time and again and I am more than pleased to offer him a Sapphire Blade for all he's accomplished so far.

Congrats, Lexiconus! You're doing incredible! Keep it up!

Nicfer has been around Clan Arcona for a little while now, and is one of those constant, steady members you love to see as the core of a Clan. With his recent transfer from House Galeres over to House Qel-Droma, his interest and activity seems to have been revitalized and I for one highly look forward to seeing Nicfer taking part in upcoming events we've got planned for the House and Clan.

As the Quaestor of House Qel-Droma, Wally is going to cover the nitty-gritty specifics of the numbers but suffice it to say: Nicfer has steadily chipped away at progress toward this and at this point it is more than deserved. It is my honor to recommend that Nicfer Luthol be awarded a Sapphire Blade!

Work't is one of the more steady and constant gamers of Clan Arcona. While not the most outspoken or bombastic member of our Clan (and let's be honest, that's some stiff competition around here), you'll scarcely see a week go past without a chunk of Clusters of Fire being awarded to him.

Since his last medal was awarded, Work't has taken part in 24 competitions and submitted 32 Gaming activities. These have netted him a Crescent with Topaz Star, an advancement to Rank 11 of the Grand Master's Royal Guard, and a whopping 300 Clusters of Fire! Along with two degrees in the Shadow Academy as well as an advancement in the ACC society, Work't has earned this award.

It is my honor to award to Work't this Sapphire Blade!

Rrogon Skar Agrona has accrued the 5125 medal xp for a Sapphire Blade. Since his last medal, he has participated in 41 Comps and won 2 Amethyst Star, 2 Sapphire Star, 3 Emerald Star, and 2 Topaz Star Crescents. Some sick flexing of graphic skills occurred in those ventures, earning him 11 Clusters of Graphic and a rank up in the Shroud Syndicate. The Obelisk took part in 2 RPs with 3,874 words. He gained 8 Clusters of Ice and one rank up as a participant in the Envoy Corps. He also ranked up in the Antei Combat Center twice as a participant. A loyal Shadow Academy student, Skar passed 31 Courses. He gained 6 Degrees. Pundits in Essentials and Communications, and a Savant in Legends. He also earned Mavens in Legends, Historical Legends, and Philosophy. All of this leveled him up twice in the Aurora Collegium of Sciences.

Rrogon has been a member of Arcona since before I joined. He was one of the folks that helped get me really invested in the clan and in both House Qel-Droma and the then Shadow Gate. A figurative brother in arms always. While life and new adventures has kept him busy, Skar is always down to socialize with his peers and it’s not odd to see him hope in conversations about games, shows, or even musicals(hello, EPIC). He is always down to brainstorm character interactions and relations, fictional plots and tales, and rp.

It is with all of the above that I am honored to present Rrogon Skar Agrona with a Sapphire Blade. Congratulations, Sith! I look forward to seeing where you go from here. May the shadows guide you!

Mako Henymory, 2025-03-04 19:48:46 UTC

Since her last medal, Rayne has organized 21 competitions and participated in an impressive 159, earning dozens of crescents and clusters in the process. Enjoy the stabby and credits, Rayne!

Syrena, or Kav, has been an almost maddening force within COU. She is always quick to smile, or joke, or just chat with anyone and everyone. She learns at a voracious and sometimes alarming rate. Yet, for one reason or another, I cannot help but encourage her and give over anything she might need to keep going on her journey around here.

That being said, Syrena has gone above and beyond what we expect from a BTL. She has made new storyline for a team so embedded in Clan history that it's been more of the same for years. Syrena has managed to pull some old dogs out from the pasture and infected them with her own get-to-it-ness and that's begun a new age of activity both for her team and for the clan at large.

One person truly can shake up a clan if they have the heart for it and Syrena is that heart. Not has that heart, but is that heart. It's an honor to know her and a pleasure to work with her.

I suppose we can do some of the boring details now. Since the last time we were here, Syrena has organized six competitions directed at giving her battleteam a direction, participated in 42 competitions herself, given us 4000 words of fiction and another 1800 in role plays.

Let's also not forget that she's netted almost 165,000 credits for the clan, earned herself an impressive bundle of medals, and managed to be one of the best team leaders I've seen in quite some time.

I'm proud to serve Odan-Urr with you, Syrena. Well done and well earned, congratulations.
