Sulxiros continues to be an active member in CNS. He continues to integrate himself well into the brotherhood and clan communities. He has written fiction items not just to meet requirements but to tell a good story about his past. He is active on Telegram and engaged with the clan in various conversations. He and I have worked together on how to form a relationship as Master/Student, actively engaging in email conversations and thought exercises.

He has completed all his requirements for Padawan/JM3, as well as a bunch of competitions and wins: 17 competitions, 4 container competitions, 5655 words of fiction with 11 Ice clusters, Diamond, Ruby, and Sapphire crescents, and 2 SA degrees - all since his last promotion. Sulxiros is a model pupil at this stage and I look forward to what else he will do for the Clan!

Shayna is by far one of the strongest gamers we have, he can usually be found on the Clan Discord rallying people to play and be active.

He has completed the 21 day requirement in his current rank, has been awarded 6 Pendants of Blood, 5 Clusters of Graphite, and an astounding 128 Clusters of Earth. He has also participated in 18 competitions and placed in one of them.

For this and all else he has achieved, I recommend Shayna be promoted to the rank of Yeoman.

Great job, keep up the good work!

Ambassador Revak K'Urr, 2020-03-27 17:37:02 UTC

It is with great pleasure that we get to recognize Tyga Orn Nilim for accomplishing all requirements for the rank of Knight! This included his time in rank, having an Academy degree, getting some Crescents, at least seven Clusters of Ice, participating in at least eight competitions and passing two of the Leadership courses!

He also has reached rank four in both the Shadow Academy and Inquisitorius societies, showing further proof of his activity.

I am happy therefor to announce him advancement to Knighthood! Welcome, Shadesworn!

Tyga Orn Nilim has the tenacious eagerness of the tiger his orange and black striped Twi'lek reminds me of. No matter how busy life kept him, he would always appear with a keen focus on learning about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, developing his stories, and accomplishing any task he set out to do. Often he would be working on four or more fictions at a time, seeking to take part in the competition prompts his fellow Brotherhood members had put on, sharing his support. Tyga has run his own competitions, which received much interest.

He is the kind of fellow who is open and happy to talk with all those he meets. His creativity knows no bounds, something I was awed by when he shared his star wars generations spanning over thousands of years outside of the DJB. Tyga is the type of soul who cares about others and always looking to help if possible. This need to help spans from offering to collaborate with peers in fictions or competition organizing, to volunteering as a firefighter.

I feel honored having a chance to work with Tyga Orn Nilim. Congratulations, Tyga! May the Light guide you through these shadows!

Consul Diyrian "Diy" Grivna, 2020-03-26 23:11:33 UTC

Since her last promotion in July last year, Alaisy has been cutting a bloody swathe through the DJB. A real tour de force she’s run or co-run a combined 13 comps and participated in a whopping 113. For her amazing activity, she’s received countless crescents, including seven Diamonds, ten Rubies, and ten Amethysts (to mention just the cream of the crop). In addition, she’s been drowning in clusters (all 166 of them), of which a frankly ludicrous 64 are of the Graphite flavor. This is hardly a surprise, as Alaisy is an artist born and bred, having served seven months as Magistrate of the Herald and earning a Sapphire Blade (!) for her outstanding service!

During the last Great Jedi War, she took out all the stops and kicked so much ass that her shiny boots surely needed special polish to combat all the smell of butt! How do I know? Because she earned the title of the Second Heroine of the Thirteenth Great Jedi War!

House Qel-Droma has also been enriched by her generous presence, having served as Aedile to yours truly for a most delightful three months and truly having been an asset in running the best House of the best Clan (in this lekhead’s opinion anyway). She served her term with professionalism and care, ensuring everyone in our House was feeling welcome, and that all relevant information about the House’s activities were reported in time for prompt promotion and awards.

As a magnificent member of House Qel-Droma, I am more than happy to have this Shiny Sith with us. She truly has an extraordinary talent of creating wonderful and weird things that delight and fright, whilst always remaining upbeat and friendly. I cannot express how well-deserved this promotion is and I have a feeling it is far from the last that this latex-clad Sith Arcanist will receive!

The next ritual supplies are on me!

Aedile Tali Sroka, 2020-03-20 21:36:46 UTC

Alaisy is a Force to be reckoned with. As a leader, she was incredibly efficient at getting her work done, and in a timely manner. She pushed her unit to be stronger and helped train a darn good BTL in Karran. Since getting promoted to the Equite ranks, she has been nigh unstoppable. Real-life took her away from leadership, but she is still a leader in Arcona.

Aways around to help out her fellow classmates when they need it, she has proven time and time again to be one of this club's best newer members. I have been so proud to watch her on her journey within this club.

Equite 2 is not a simple rank to earn, but she has done so with relative ease. Between her works with the Herald’s office and our own clan, I fully believe her to be ready for this promotion. Congratulations Alaisy and welcome to Equite 2!!!!!

It is impossible to say enough nice things about Alaisy. And frankly, this is a good thing, because she is constantly doing things that get her awards! Since her arrival in the club, she has proven herself to be an active and indomitable person. As a result of this, she has shot up the ranks. There were times when I genuinely felt like I was writing a new recommendation for her a month!

In addition to her activity, Alaisy has been extremely generous with her time, serving as both an Aedile of House Qel-Droma and as a member of the Herald's staff. In those roles, she proved that her talent for leadership and management was outpaced only by her artistic talent.

If I knew of a Sith ritual to clone Alaisy, I would do so in a heart beat. She is helpful, creative and just generally a positive presence that is a joy to interact with. I can genuinely say that my day is made brighter in chatting with her, and I do not think I am alone is saying that.

EQ2 is a huge accomplishment, and I can think of few who are more deserving. Congratulations, Alaisy!

Alaisy is an absolute treasure to have around, both as a fellow summit member and a member of my sub-unit. She’s consistently active in both competitions and non-site related activities. Even after she stepped down as Aedile, she’s been an invaluable source of help to me in my efforts as BTL.

She and I joined close to the same time, (she a little bit before myself) and it has been amazing to watch her growth. It has been one of my greatest privileges to work alongside her for the benefit of Arcona and the DJB.

I am in full support of her receiving her promotion to Equite 2 and it is my honor to do so.

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!

Seer Xolarin, 2020-03-03 14:18:32 UTC

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!

Adept DarkHawk Sadow, 2020-02-23 15:28:12 UTC

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

Lord Muz Ashen Keibatsu, 2020-03-01 03:58:27 UTC

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.
