There is a lot to say about Locke Sonjie. For one thing, Locke was one of the heavy hitters of Clan Naga Sadow in the recent Pro Bowl. He completed 16 of a possible 25 competitions and brought home 103 points for the Frog Dogs.

Given that his last recognition was in 2019, I do feel that gives me a decent amount of ground to cover even putting the Pro Bowl aside. He has given a LOT of counsel and direction and insight to myself and the Summit in all that time. This was a part of what he offered in the 15 months he served as a Battle Team Leader, the 9 months he served as the Aedile of House Marka Ragnos and most recently as he has taken the Quaestor's seat in the same house. In particular, Locke has proven a very down-to-earth voice of reason within the Summit. He also wrote up 5 news posts over the course of his leadership positions since his last awarding in 2019 to help keep his members in the know.

His personal activity has not been anything to scoff at, either. I am normally rather loathe to go about giving a list of accomplishments, but there is a good little bit for me to cover. In this time, Locke has organized 7 competitions and has racked up 61 competition entries on his own part. Through a variety of competitions, he has earned a small trophy case of awards including a Silver Nova for a vendetta battle plan competition, 2 Crescents with a Ruby Star, 7 Crescents with an Amethyst Star, 2 Clusters with a Sapphire Star, 3 Crescents with an Emerald Star, a Crescent with a Topaz Star, a Crescent with a Quartz Star and a Legion of the Scholar. He has also earned 5 Seals of Visions and 7 Seals of Emnity for Vendetta-time efforts!

Locke is more than just competition numbers though. He has been a bit of a monster in gaming with 22 PVP matches and 114 PVE activities. When you look at the number of Heroes of the Storm matches he can complete in a night of gaming, you realize that this is even more impressive than it looks from the above number. Looking at gaming clusters alone, Locke has earned 15 Clusters of Fire and 1703 Clusters of Earth.

Gaming is not the only arena in which Locke performs well. He is also a decent writer (in my humble opinion) and has demonstrated his skills having completed an ACC battle, written for eight fiction competitions and written 4 run on posts. His word total comes up to the tune of 6735 words- 4001 in general fiction activities and 2734 in run on content. This writing has gathered up 15 Clusters of Ice.

Taking all these things into account and given the fact that (as shown by the conversations we have had within the Clan Naga Sadow Summit) Locke very much cares for Clan Naga Sadow and her future, I feel it is appropriate to recognize his contributions to activity both within the Clan and within the club at large with this Sapphire Blade. I hope that he will continue to provide his insight and experiences to the Clan for a long time to come, and that as part of the Summit he will help create even more fun stories and experiences with all of us.
