For the past year, Rrogan Skar has been a constant, steady presence in Clan Arcona. He's not showy - he doesn't make a spectacle or brag about his accomplishments. He's quiet, and consistently active, always asking for work, never asking for awards. In some ways, I feel like this hurts him - people miss the numerous, little things he does to make the lives and workloads of those around him easier. But it is quintessentially Skar.

Since his promotion to Equite I over a year and a half ago, Skar has demonstrated laudable consistency in his activity. In addition to the two competitions he organized, he has participated in eighty, earning eleven Crescents in the process. His eleven thousand words of fiction and eleven ACC matches have earned him fifty-five Clusters of Ice, on top of his three Clusters of Graphite and one hundred Clusters of Fire and Earth. In that time, he has also garnered two Dark Crosses for his meritorious service to his House and his participation in Brotherhood activities.

In addition to his participation, he also served eight months on the Wiki Staff and six months as Battleteam Leader of Shadow Gate (four since his last promotion).

There's a lot that can be said about Skar. In addition to the aforementioned accomplishments, he is a constant, welcoming presence on Telegram. He always strives to help his teammates, helping to create and maintain a positive attitude and cheering for his peers. He's quick to volunteer, quick to revel in others' accomplishments, and unstinting in his devotion to both Arcona and his fellow Arconans.

Yes, there's a lot that can be said about Skar and his contributions. But the most important might be this: I can't imagine Shadow Gate, House Qel-Droma or Clan Arcona itself without him in it.

Congratulations, Skarbie! It's been a long time coming, but you've more than earned this.

I can’t stress how much I’ve enjoyed Skar’s presence in Shadow Gate. He aids in weaving together the sense of family we have in the form of team pride. Skar has not only been welcoming to our new recruits, but has also offered a helping hand and advice to a new leader, such as myself: he's a wonderful example of how a leader dedicates himself to their community even past holding a title. On the competition front, Skar has proven his namesake as the ‘WarKaleesh', participating in various competitions, from fictions to gaming and multimedia, all at the beck and call of Arcona.

As a working college student, Rrogon shows that it is possible to balance such a life with the DJB. I admire your tenacity, keep up the great work. Go get ‘em, WarKaleesh!

Rrogon Skar is one of the most reliably consistent members in Qel-Droma. He often asks for additional things to do and delivers in a timely manner. When a large event occurs, he is often the first person to rev the hype machine and challenge other members to get on his level. He is also an amazing entertainer and frequently bestows the blessing of his amazing voice amongst his House and Clans mates. Not only does he frequent chats to challenge others to “get on his level” he is also one of the most compassionate and empathetic people in Arcona, frequently putting the needs of others before himself. He has helped me write fictions, wiki pages, come up with comp ideas and was, at times, my primary motivator when I was BTL.

That being said, Skar is like everyone’s little brother which means we pick on him out of love. It also means that - at least for me personally - I would beat up half the Clan if his feelings were ever truly hurt and the best thing is; he would do the same for all of us. For being consistent; for being the glue that holds our dysFUNctional family together; for being an amazing help and support, not just to your Clan, but to your friends: Condragulations, on EQ2. <3
