Master Malik Sadow, that has a cool ring to it. Another dogged Elder to have here within the Clan. Again I cannot say it enough, I am surrounded by the best staff and former staffers one could ask for. Malik is no exception, as another former Consul of CNS his leadership is sought out by Clan Summit regularly.
Over the past few moons Master Malik Sadow has been involved in fifty six competitions and earned sixty three Crescents. When he is not busy racking up XP points, Master Sadow has strolled over to the Shadow Academy and furthered his education by earning himself a Maven Societies degree.
He has been as steadfast in his journey as one could get. During his time he has added many accolades to his trophy case. More importantly, he has never stopped giving back. From his time as Consul to Star Chamber member and back to Clan Summit. Malik has been involved in every single conversation we've had regarding staff/Clan projects and has counseled on every single one.
Even with him taking a sabbatical from leadership, he is always involved with Summit to better Clan dynamics. When he is not busting our chops in Summit chat, he consistently extends his knowledge and expertise to our members in CNS chat or one on one counseling. Some individuals cannot escape the fact that they are born leaders. These individuals are motivators and often lead through example. Malik has this quality, a true leader, with or without the position.
Without a doubt he is the prime example of an Elder. Master Sadow is and will always remain a distinguished icon within CNS, I cannot see CNS without him. It is with great pleasure and a great honor for Summit to present to you this prestigious award. Thank you Master Sadow for everything you continue to do for CNS. Congratulations!

The tree has done it again. Despite our efforts to warn him against this sort of thing by making him a Master, Malik has continued his campaign of competitions and crescents. After a massive stack of those to his name, we have no choice but to force him to carry yet another sharp rock.
In March, Malik decided to stop being on the summit for the seventh or eighth time and retire to regular membership, where he has continually been active. Participating in a wide array of competitions, it’s fairly usual to see his name in the top five of just about anything we get emailed on. This consistency is really something valuable, not only for his own credit account, but as an example to others. Showing what can be earned in the club and clan without resorting to the often-times thankless work of project or summit work, this can be a major point of encouragement for those who do not think themselves able to do those sorts of things. We appreciate you helping lead the members by example, from the front.
Thanks for putting in the work, Malik. Here’s another Amethyst Kukri for your collection.

Tasha, Tasha, Tasha! What can be said about this lady that has not already been said? Well with this tour de force there is always room to add to the resume. Tasha is another one of our folks that has been in multiple leadership positions throughout the Club and the Clan. So getting into the mix and getting her hands…bloody is no deterrent to this menacing Twi’lek!
For starters, for sake of argument Tasha is a staunch gamer, so before she even goes into a match victory is inevitably tipped to her favor. Over the past few moons she has managed to participate in twenty four competitions, garnered a hundred and thirty Clusters and two Crescents and eight RP sessions.
It is not the amount of comps or gaming activities that she submits that define her. It is that overwhelming welcomeness we all receive from her. She may not be sitting in a leadership position, she does not have to. You will always find her extending a hand to help our members out. Whether she is asked to proofread a fiction, help members with training or something simple as character sheets setup. Tasha will make that time to help whoever asks for it. I have said it once, so I will say it again. It's those little things that folks remember.
Tasha does not have to be in a leadership position to have her presence felt, she has proven that more than once. CNS is only stronger with her presence. Her contributions to this Clan will not go unnoticed and it is with great pleasure to be able to offer this token of the Clan’s appreciation for all that you have done. Thank you for everything and congratulations on this award!

Tasha’vel is a rock star in Clan Naga Sadow. Often operating quietly and without fanfare, she has racked up all manner of kills in gaming, participating in a wide swath of competitions,and has been making a name for herself in RPs in the wider Brotherhood.
Well, here is your fanfare. She has more than earned this Amethyst Kukri with her own personal activity, getting our clan’s name up on the boards when we need it, despite being ‘retired’ and preoccupied with making sure that Darth Toddlertus doesn’t figure out how to kill us all. She’s also constantly available through PMs, making us aware of little things that may need handling before they become wider issues, helping other members navigate complex situations and interpersonal conflicts, and just being present as a valuable clan member and friend.
And it is really those sorts of connections that I feel keep the members coming back for more. To see and talk with old friends, and dragged back into the thick of things based on them still being around. Tasha does this supremely well, and without adding undue pressure on the returning folks, putting them at ease and helping them to find the new venues for fun that have just enough familiarity as the activities of the past. It’s a pretty tough sft skill, to be honest, but one that is terrifyingly useful.
Tasha, thank you for all that you do, and all that I know that you will still do. Please enjoy this shiny new purple stabby. ; )

Raistline has always been a staple of Taldryan as one of our elder members, and in the time he was gone he was greatly missed by everyone. Since his return, he has already knocked out 10 different competitions and has been leaning back into life with Taldryan on Discord. And with his return, we can finally give a long-awaited award that we have been anticipating to do for quite some time.
With that award, Raistline has knocked out 96 competitions and has earned almost 300,000 credits for Taldryan. Of those 96, 17 were from gaming and he organized one of them. And even further, he's earned 20 different Crescents; including a Diamond Star, a Ruby Star, 8 Amethyst Stars, 5 Sapphire Stars, 4 Emerald Stars, and a Topaz Star Crescent.
With Clusters, he earned an amazing 370 Clusters of Fire and 17 Clusters of Graphite. He has also earned two rank-ups as an Envoy Corps roleplayer.

Since earning his last award, Raist has not been sitting by idly. He has participated in 96 competitions, earning himself 20 Crescents (1 Diamond, 1 Ruby, 8 Amethyst, 5 Sapphire, 4 Emerald, &1 Topaz). He has also earned himself 17 Clusters of Graphite through 6 GFX competitions. Across 17 Gaming Activities, he earned himself 370 Clusters of Fire. He has also elevated his rank across the various societies twice.
And all this despite having been rogue for about a year. Welcome back to Taldryan Raistline and enjoy this implement, it’s been sharpened especially for you!

There are those in Plagueis to whom the (apocryphal) quotation from Admiral Yamamoto most applies: "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve" Furios, when the Pro Bowl rolls around, is for sure one of those sleeping giants. As a long standing member of Clan Plagueis, it is no longer a surprise when Furios stands up and absolutely destroys a competition, but even with the number of times it happens it is no less impressive with each successive example.
Furios was an absolute beast in the Pro Bowl, entering all 33 available competitions. He earned Nova-worthy placements in an astounding 10 of those competitions, split between 3 Gold, 4 Silver, and 3 Bronze. His 241 total points earned as tied for second most in the entire Brotherhood, with the tie for second place broken on the total number of Novae he collected. Beyond that, Furios continues to contribute mightily all around for the Ascendant Clan. Since his last award, he has entered 43 competitions and earned 11 crescents (2 Diamond, 4 Ruby, 2 Amethyst, and 1 Sapphire) to complement the Novae referenced above. He has gained 137 Clusters of Fire for his gaming activity, 20 Clusters of Graphite for his artwork, and 6 Clusters of Ice from his 4 fiction activities split between fiction and roleplaying. He even knocked off 7 Shadow Academy exams and earned a degree, an impressive feat for a long standing veteran given that it can be hard to still find courses to pass and degrees to earn when you've been around as long as Furios!
All told, Furios still remains an absolutely critical part of Clan Plagueis. I've worked with him, at this point, for many years and his continued efforts are nothing short of astounding. Year after year, there are few that can claim to contribute as much as Furios has! You have my thanks.

This award is one I've been very excited to make. Siv, you may not reside amongst the Shadows anymore but you've certainly left a you-shaped-divot in the cushions that awaits for when you visit. It was only May when we last awarded you for your efforts as a member and as a Quastrix but you made good use of that time. I'll hit the numbers first here.
Sivall organised 20 comps, co-organising 5 more while participating in 87 (19 containers) as well. In doing so she's earned a Bronze Nova from the Probowl, 6 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 3 with Amethyst, 5 with Sapphire, 3 with Emerald, 5 with Topaz and 1 Quartz on the end. She also ranked up 7 times in the societies, passed 2 SA Courses to earn 1 degree and earned a outstanding 320,600 credits for Arcona. As well as 80,180 for COU! This time has also included 13 gaming activites being completed, earning 44 clusters of Fire, 3 ACC battles and 12 other Fiction activites collecting Siv 29 clusters of Ice. Sprinkled on top are her 15 clusters of Graphite with 2 Dark Side scrolls because why not.
And frankly, this doesn't cover her activites as Quastor from her last award till the 17th of September when she decided to step away. Creating 3 reports on a constant routine basis despite how much the real world throws at her, as well as creating 5 reccs solo and supporting 8 others. These were all lovely, well thought out and crafted reccomendations that she put hard effort into. She also covered the beginning of Meero's training, spending time to ensure he knew what buttons did what and where to begin with being an Aedile of Galeres. Alongside that Siv has been a powerhouse on the wiki, not even something we expect from our leaders but she took in it stride. She updated the templates for AED and QUA of Gal, created an entire article for House Galeres' History to contain previous information to enable the tidying up of the main page. Which, she updated the current House Galeres page so you can find all that information as well as adding the recent relevant history to the page and leaving the article ready to be expanded by future leaders.
One of the first comps Siv ever ran was to create a motto for Galeres, using a competition to get her members involved. It now sits front and center on the wiki page and honestly that encapsulates Siv as a leader. From day 1, her thought was on her members and how to not only give them things to do, but to truly engage them and make them care for the House just as much as she does. It's been a pleasure to have had you among us Siv, and I can't wait to see what you bring to the future of this little nerd club we have here.
Enjoy the stabby hun, and stick 'em with the pointy end. Unless you're knocking them out, the handle is usually better for that!

Sivall has created 15 unique graphics including headers, logos and infographics for the Emissary’s various releases as well as a signature for a fellow member.
She is a new addition to my staff, in fact, she has not been officially announced yet, but she’s an outstanding artist, eager and ever so talented. She shows incredible promise.
Siv, congratulations on your Amethyst Kukri! It’s well-deserved. Keep up the great work. The DB as a whole is lucky to have you.
Bale Andros, 2024-09-21 18:37:18 UTC
It isn't often that I look at someone and go, "Holy crap, I'm glad I hired them." Sivall is one of those people.
Sivall came on to my staff just three short months ago, and immediately got thrown into the deep end of working on the Brotherhood's member newsletter. She went well beyond my expectations on that project, performing most of the visual work herself, from the layout to the member art features.
Beyond her fantastic work on the newsletter, Sivall has also worked closely with Nora on our social media releases. The feature posts were her idea, and she's produced all of that content.
Sivall is also a major contributor to the Emissary Staff in less tangible ways. Her expertise in both art and digital marketing has made her a vital bridge between the Emissary and Herald Staffs, greatly simplifying the process on both teams. (Malfearak and I regularly get together to squee about how amazing it is to work with her.) Sivall's digital marketing expertise is also a huge benefit in working on social media campaigns and Emissary Staff work as a whole.
All in all, Sivall has been an invaluable asset to the Emissary Staff, and I'm thrilled to add my recommendation to this award. Congrats, Siv-berry!

Five times, five times now in my DB career I have either initiated or been an additional commenter on this flippin guys awards and promos! I do not know what the ratio is for an apprentice to award their Master, but just from this ol’ knuckledragger’s POV, it's pretty flippin cool! It truly is an honor to be able to be a part of Professor Sanguinius Entar’s reccs.
The Professor is just one of those guys you cannot help but admire. Whenever I see his name or we end up chatting, I always envision Sang dressed in a boujee suit with bow tie, monocle and a top hat. A driver dressed in a mid century tuxedo opening the door for him to a classic Mercedes Benz limo! All my facetiousness aside, Professor Entar is a highly respected member, leader and mentor to all of us.
Since his last recognition, the Professor has been knocking at the door towards certain goals and aspirations. He has participated in one hundred sixty two comps, earned eighty one Crescents and eighty three Clusters. When he is not gaming or knocking out competitions, Sang has found his way into writing in Clan RP sessions.
When all that is not taking place, Professor Entar is sought after for council from not only myself but the Clan as a whole. Like many other Sadowans, Sang has helmed all positions within the Clan and has been a steadfast Professor and Magistrate over at the SA. So it is safe to say that even though he has recently transitioned to not being in a leadership role, his influence is still felt throughout the Clan. Furthermore, not shying away from an opportunity to lead, Sang has Captained the CNS members of team Frogdogs to consecutive Probowl victories.
The Professor has always been a strong presence here within CNS. We see him engaged with both members and Summit. Whether he is acting as mentor, soundboard or encouraging folks to keep pressing on towards their goals. His presence is felt indeed. He religiously encourages gaming by gaming (even though it's probably HoTS) almost every weekend on a DJB supported platform.
It is with great honor that Summit can present this award to Professor Sanguinius Entar. You are a pillar in our community and are more than deserving of this award. Congratulations Sir!!!!

The Professor is a constant in CNS these days, as constant and consistent as he was while on the Shadow Academy Staff. Ever-present, calming, and with just enough humor and dry wit to serve as garnish, Sang has encouraged so many of us, young and old alike to Do More, be it during the Great Jedi Wars, the Pro-Bowls, or even just average daily life.
Often the odd man out, as one of a scant few light-siders in this Ancient Clan, he leverages his unique path here to great effect in his writing. That uniqueness works quite well, increasing our footprint and giving depth and gravitas to what we all do here in the clan.
Given his depth of understanding of the systems and stories of the brotherhood, the Professor lives up to his name whenever a new person has a question about …well, anything. I’ve seen him get down into the weeds with them and show them not only where the answer is, but how to find future answers themselves, coaching them on how to be able to do the same for others. He’s been invaluable from a summit perspective, offering his expertise on any number of projects, from clan storyline moves to fleet arguments.
His mentorship of members has led him to be one of the most widely respected and liked members of the clan. Even our Consul, who joined a full eight years before he did, counts Sanguinius as his Master and Mentor. With that in mind, I am exceptionally pleased to be able to recommend that he be awarded this Amethyst Kukri as a token for all the work that he has done thus far. Thank you, Sang.

Today we want to take a moment to brag on one of our long-time members. Epis Locke Sonjie has dutifully served Naga Sadow on more than one occasion. On this last tenure Locke served as the Questor of House Marka Ragnos from Oct ‘21 to Jul ‘24. Prior to his Quaestor assignment, he also served as the House's Aedile. Locke’s leadership has been present at every level of the Clan and we would not want it any other way.
During his time as Quaestor, Locke has put up some pretty impressive accolades not only for House but for himself as well. His personal accolades showcase themselves, Lock is one of those “jack of all trades” leaders around these parts. However, it is his vast amount of knowledge on the Star Wars Universe that always impresses. Making him one of those “go to” guys within the Clan Which is highly respectable but it is his natural willingness to assist others that we want to be showcased. It is just one of his many leadership attributes he steadfastly maintains. From the little or simple things such as taking time out to assist with a member's loadout, CS’s or those general Star Wars universe questions. When Locke is referred to around here, those are the standout moments remembered by all of us Sadowans.
His influence within HMR has been tried and true during his tenure. What stood out to Summit was during the last Club event, the Great Jedi War XVI: Transcendence, five of his Ragnosians secured individual competition placements throughout the event. Consequently that helped bolster CNS’s overall participation rate, nosing out the other Clans participation rates for the event. That is his influence, that is who Locke is.
He has been and continues to be a confidant, a soundboard and mentor. Most of all a friend and around rockstar! The Clan cannot thank you enough for all that you have done and continue to do. On behalf of Clan Naga Sadow, it is with great pleasure and an honor to present this sacramental award to you for everything you have done for us. Thank you and Congratulations Locke!

With the advent of new ways of recommending medals in the Brotherhood, and the experience program, I am certain that there’s no lack of data to prove that Locke has earned this award. Yet still, being an older member, I feel obligated to talk about some of the things that Locke has done with his time thus far. And to properly acknowledge the things that he has not only done, but just is.
Sometimes, the best thing to be is present. And on that front, Locke never seems to waver. He’s been a constant since I’ve been paying attention in CNS, whether it be as a positioned member or not. He’s been there to cheer people on in chat, he’s been there to PM someone if they seem to be having an off day, he’s been there to help Get Things done behind the scenes. Need an extra set of eyes on something? Locke’s there. Want to bounce some ideas back and forth for a good clan plot or a personal story beat? Locke’s there. Need someone to pop off a quick post in a Clan RP to get the team’s juices flowing again? Locke’s there. He’s been a stalwart presence in the clan, and always is looking out for our members. In the end, that is really the sort of thing that keeps people coming back for more.
Recently, he’s returned to general membership after a long run as Quaestor. Even as he had pulled the trigger and recognized that it was his time to retire, he has still been invested enough to reach out on multiple occasions to myself and DarkHawk about the status of his possible replacements and the structure of the Clan going forward.
Locke, Thank you for all that you’ve done, and the things that I am sure you will continue to do. Enjoy this token of our esteem for you, you’ve more than earned it.

There's a lot to be said about Windos, from his work ethic, his drive, competitiveness, and just his ability to show up and do the things. Windos is the kind of member, as Consul, I strive to be, and whose dossier and history I point new recruits toward when I talk about enduring legacies within The Brotherhood.

There have been a lot of contributing elements within Odan-Urr's history, undoubtedly so, we are a Clan built upon a history of hardship, dedication, and rebuilding from the ground up several times over, through the years we've had many hands come and go, leaving indelible prints on the tapestry that defines who we are, a weaving fine elements throughout, helping craft and curate, and designing elements to exist in the background of our shared Galaxy, if only to make it feel a little more vibrant, which have ended up becoming a much more focal point of the community because of the amount of love and craftsmanship poured into them. Tarvitz, your contributions to making Odan-Urr what it is today, to helping drive it forward, and being a part of the ongoing community, even with life continuously pulling you away from general activity has been an inspiration.
Since your last award you've done much, taking part in 69 competitions of which 14 were containers, written 4,492 words over three fiction submissions, and earned yourself 3 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 23 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 6 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 4 Crescents with Emerald Stars, and another 9 Clusters of Ice.
You've joined the very Battle Team formed from a narrative faction you designed amongst COU's borders, the Templar Jensaarai, and offered to give Guidance to your new BTL as he learns not only the ropes of Clan Leadership, but the Lore behind the it as well, and have often given sage advice to many of our members. This Amethyst Kukri is a well deserved honor, not only in the experience earned from your day-to-day activities, but as a reminder of how you've helped carve the path ahead for all of Clan Odan-Urr.
Ever Onwards, Tarvitz.
