Luka is a standout example of what it means to be both a member and a leader in the Clan Arcona. They have taken on countless events, activities, and tasks both as a participant and organizer, and are always willing to lend a hand, an ear, or an idea to make life better for our members.

Since their last promotion (buckle in, some of these numbers are genuinely astounding), they have taken part in 324 (!!!) competitions and either organized or co-organized 31! Across these competitions Luka has earned 3 Crescents with Diamond, 11 Crescents with Ruby, 22 Crescents with Amethyst, 22 Crescents with Sapphire, 24 Crescents with Emerald, 8 Crescents with Topaz, and 5 Crescents with Quartz. Their activities across 3 ACC matches (along with judging 1), 15 RPs (as well as DMing one), 5 Fiction submissions, and 68 Gaming activities have earned 623 (!!!) Clusters of Fire, 40 Clusters of Ice, and 162 Clusters of Graphite. They have had a total of 16 Society advancements through all of this: 2 ranks in the Grand Master's Royal Guard, 2 ranks of the Inquisitorius, 4 ranks of the Shroud Syndicate, 3 ACC ranks (plus 1 in the Judging society) and 3 ranks of Envoy (as well as 1 on the DM side). Furthering their knowledge of the Brotherhood, Luka passed 10 additional courses in the Shadow Academy. For all of their efforts in this time they have also earned an Amethyst Kukri and two Sapphire Blades.

Beyond all the pure numbers (and dang there's a lot of them), Luka has been part of the leadership team of Arcona for around half a year now: first as the BTL of the Selen Training Corps and, when that was shut down, taking over leadership of the Dajorran Marshals. In this time, they have shown themselves to be a highly capable and dedicated leader, always devoting time, effort and energy to keeping their members informed, trying to drive activity, and just generally being present and active in Arconan spaces to help engage our members and make them feel both welcome in our spaces as well as connected to our leadership.

It is with all that in mind that I hereby recommend for Ghost Luka Zarkot to be deservedly promoted to the rank of Equite 4!

To say that I'm overjoyed to be a part of this promotion is an understatement. The numbers alone show that you've put in the work needed to earn this, but beyond that, Logan, your existence as a fixture in Arcona and more specifically, Galeres, have gotten you here. Your willingness to engage with other members both within our clan and without, your participation in gaming, theorycrafting and worldbuilding with others is greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure working alongside you during my tenure as BTL, and i couldn't think of a better person to take over the reins when I stepped down.

It's truly been a pleasure knowing you, writing with you and creating with you, and most of all, watching you do all the things that got you here. I'm so excited to see where you go next.

From a drifting space wanderer to the Chief Marshal of the protectors of Dajorra and now an Equite IV, Luka Zarkot has paved their way through Arcona and the Brotherhood at large. An avid artist, writer, and gamer, they are a triple threat to face competitively. The numbers up above spitting straight facts. Not only is an impressive amount of competitions done and clusters racked up, but Luka has been out here creating fun activities for their peers to engage with. 31 competitions organized, impressive! They took on running the DIA Contracts competitions for several months, providing a consistent low effort activity for Arcona. Their Palette Challenge art competitions have been challenging Brotherhood artists to adhere to the use of color schemes and the creativity from it has been amazing! Luka had also helped host the Arcona presents Valentines’ Day comps, which was a hit!

The dedication, heart, and care into the clan and the club Luka has is without question. They are always among the crowd to welcome a new or returning member, to offer them advice and help them find their feet. They are a rooted presence and positive force within our community, giving their support to others ventures and just bringing a light to our lives in general. Since their last promotion, Luka had stepped into leadership as Bograt had mentioned, first with the STC and now the Dajorra Marshals. I remember them expressing worry about coming up with fictional ideas for the clan, they then came up with an idea that addresses the worry and engages the battleteam members into collaborating on building their story together as a unit. Luka has just concluded running the first Scouting the Dajorra System competitions which encouraged the Marshals to create ‘threats’ to respond to in the future. It was a showing of ingenious thinking and problem solving. In addition to aiding members and creating competition, Luka has been actively keeping engaged and informed with summit matters, providing their insight and offering valuable suggestions and support.

Congratulations, Luka, on reaching Equite IV! Well fought and deserved. I look forward to what ventures are on the horizon and look forward to both working and continuing enjoying the Brotherhood with you. May the stars guide your path!

Luka has been working extremely hard managing the Marshals, and I honestly need to thank them more. I'm always seeing them actively interacting with the community and running events. We should be throwing more awards and XP at Luka.

I look forward to continuing to work with Luka and the rest of the team, and hope to catch up in XP!
