Our Verpine, slicer friend Hilgrif has become an integral part of our House and Clan and the measure of ideal activity, especially in gaming and clan participation. He has also become a keen member of the summit, assisting with everything from Clan/House events, Runons, co-op fictions and battleplans, and more. He really does try to help where he can.

The two greatest consistencies for Hilgrif are his activities and his involvement in the clan. Since his last merit in October of 2019, Hilgrif has performed and achieved the following:

• 4 Diamond Crescents
• 1 Ruby Crescent
• 3 Amethyst Crescents
• 3 Sapphire Crescents
• 1 Emerald Crescent
• 12 Clusters of Fire
• 2 Clusters of Ice
• 92 Clusters of Earth
• 5 Clusters of Graphite
• 3 Organized Competitions
• 24 Competition Participations
• 1100+ words of fiction and 18 gaming matches

Since being Knighted just over a year ago, you can basically double the crescents and quadruple the competitions, gaming activity, and Clusters. You can also add a Steel Cross, an Anteian Cross, a Gold Nova, a Silver Nova, 7 Pendants of Blood, and 18 Seals of Discord. If this is not the prime example of action and consistency, I don't know what is.

Hilgrif has also become a critical member of the clan. He is constantly on Telegram chatting amongst the clan members, and was one of the true clan "champions" of the GJW XIII and our own Clan event series.

Knight Hilgrif, come forward and be recognized and lauded as Mystic Hilgrif. Let your example bleed into others, that they may follow suit. Congratulations, Equite!

Hilgrif is a outstanding member of the Clan. Even though we are in different Houses, Hilgrif's presence is always felt throughout the Clan. He is a constant member of T/G, he is a solid participant in comps throughout the club. He has also established himself as a pretty stout gamer amongst the Clan. He is always energetic and eager to help. As previously stated, since his last recognition, Hilgrif has been a solid source of activity and garnering himself an impressive dossier of activity and club participation. He has established himself as an up-and-comer that we cannot overlook. I am honored to recommend him for this well deserved award!

It cannot be overstated how critical Hilgrif is to the gaming culture active in Naga Sadow over the last year or so. For a knight to have changed the culture in such a way so profoundly is impressive, to say the least. We went from a clan with only sporadic gaming presence to one that actually can challenge and hang with the big dogs. And that's not even all he does. He's almost always available on telegram, constantly pushing for the house (and by extension, the clan) to do more, trying to get people to do more for our Ancient Empire. He's got eyes on for practically every project or program or event that we have been pushing through to help reform our clan and hone it into what we all need and want it to be, and he is reliably responsive if anyone needs help with just about anything. It's frankly inspiring, and indicative that he has skill and drive well beyond what his present rank indicates. It is my distinct pleasure to be able to add my name to the list of people calling for Hilgrif to be inducted into the equites. Thank you for all that you have done, and for all that I know you will continue to do. ~Muz Ashen Keibatsu, the Lion of Tarthos

Where to start?

Well, I could restate the effect that young Hilgrif has had on the gaming culture of Clan Naga Sadow as others have. I could point out how he has tried to compete, having placed a number of times on the Grand Master Royal Guard's Leaderboard. I could compare his number of clusters or other accolades to those of his peers. I do feel that this is only a partial view of the member that Hilgrif is.

Even since Hilgrif reached the rank of Knight, he has spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to improve things for the Clan and the Brotherhood. Many mornings have been spent with Hilgrif trying to figure how to optimize gaming competitions. Let me be clear: Hilgrif has been trying to build better competitions. He has also talked and brooded over ways to encourage activity, including gaming, among the Clan. While things like fiction are not his greatest strength, Hilgrif has not completely shied away from acitivities outside of his gaming corner. While he still has some areas to refine, I do have to confess to feeling a bit impressed. He has really not been with the Clan all that long, and yet I think the energy and effort he has put into trying to improve aspects of both the Clan and the Brotherhood make him a fitting addition to the rank of our Equites.

Congrats, Hilgrif. Hope this is but one of many, and the best is yet to come. I believe once you find your niche, we will see you flourish beyond what we can reckon just now.
