Amethyst Kukri events for Ghost Luka Zarkot

Once again I get to write a recommendation for Luka Zarkot. Since his last medal, Luka has been a steady stream of activity. I’ll leave it to Zuza to write up all of what they achieved in the last month or so but felt it necessary to point out they earned 10 Crescents and a nice stash of Clusters across a large swathe of different types of activity. It feels, from my perspective, that every day, Luka becomes more and more a staple of the House.

I remember when I first became Quaestor and had to write my first recommendation for Luka. I went and read through his past awards and promotion reccs to get a feel for what they were like. In most of them, the stand out activity was Gaming. I’m quite pleased to see they have diversified this much and are now also active in Roleplaying, Graphics, Writing, Shadow Academy, and so on.

Keep it up Luka and I don’t doubt I’ll be writing another recommendation for you sooner rather than later. Congratulations on the Amethyst Kukri! Happy Stabbing!

Luka has done amazing work for Galeres and Arcona as a whole. During their time as Battleteam Leader, Luka held the line for not only notfying members of ongoing competitions, but hosting events for the BT and keeping them on schedule.

Since their last recognition, Luka organized 10 competitions for the Dajoran Marshals Battle Team.

Luka has definetly done more than enough to earn a shiny new blade.

It's no surprise that we're back again to recommend Luka for another award. He has been a staple of Arcona and House Galeres for a long time, and has more than earned this award. Whether through his work as the Battleteam Leader of the Dajorran Marshals, or as an unsealed member of House Galeres, Luka is always contributing to the activity and culture of the Clan through his gaming activity, writing, and viking in our clan and House chats.

More than deserved, Luka. Keep up the great work.

Luka Zarkot, the powerhouse. The first member of House Galeres to have participated in every event in the GJWVII: Animus. I would intermittently check House participation rates throughout the war, and every time Luka stood out—green ticks all around. They were a huge contributor to the Clan’s war effort, securing a huge 207.47 points for Clan Arcona. They secured a Bronze Nova in their Event Long Audiobook submission, they placed 6th in the ‘Icon of Sin’ Phase I competition, and secured 10th in the Hutt and the Bear Event Long competition. For context, the gap between Arcona and Clan Odan-Urr was approximately 240 points; it is likely that without their contribution, Arcona may have slipped into second.

Their performance in the GJWVII: Animus is only one facet of their activity, however. They have participated in a huge 127 competitions, earning 41 Crescents and their Bronze Nova. They have also racked up a staggering 861 Clusters since their last award. Through this exemplary performance, they have contributed just short of 800k credits to the Clan. They have remained consistent for long periods and wanting for little. It’s funny, but you meet some wonderful people in all walks of life, including within the Brotherhood. Some inspire more than others. Luka is one of those people. They have had a real impact on me (though I expect they don’t realise it). Their quiet determination has given me pause for thought, and has helped me reflect on how I can adopt their approach into my own.

Luka has been a voice of positivity throughout my time as Quaestor of House Galeres, quietly encouraging members across the Clan. It is an honour to be able to contribute to this recommendation for Luka, and thank them for all they have done for Arcona.

Thank you, Luka—both for your hard work, and for your approach.
