Event History

Teu is a member who has a long time of steady, dedicated service to her name. She has served in many positions over the years, but I know her time as Rollmaster and Proconsul best, when I have worked closely with Teu. She has been a very helpful member, participating in competitions and events, creating and developing large projects, and generally being a highly active Summit member.

During her time as Rollmaster, Teu worked on several projects. The first of these was the Schools of Learning. This was an idea developed during a time when the Clan needed assistance getting better in multiple areas. Teu came up with the idea and worked through many instances of it. She modified it as needed and found ways to fix it to make it viable. Though this project was scrapped in the end, Teu showed her resolve by continuing to find alternative solutions without letting it slow her down.

Another major task Teu performed as Rollmaster was managing the Master-Student Program. When she approached the task, the MSP program was in disarray and confusing. Teu updated its wiki article, began contacting interested journeymen and potential masters, and paired them together when she could. She also held the masters accountable for their end of the project, which ensured they stayed on task. Teu turned the project around from a background feature to a program that greatly assisted journeymen in getting to Dark Jedi Knight.

Teu also heavily developed the Black Guard program. The Black Guard is a fictional title used to recognize highly active Journeymen. While Rollmaster, Teu revived the program. She used scores from Doom Train, our monthly activity tracking competition, to determine the occupant for each position, and also established the schedule we use to make sure the Black Guards are cycled out in a fair and orderly manner of time. Without Teu, this program very likely would still be an afterthought; but now it is a valued position.

Though Teu has not been Proconsul for very long, she has already brought great things to the position. She has continued to offer great advice, mentoring other, newer Summit members, including myself. Furthermore, Teu has assisted in working on the Festival of Renewal which is currently running. Working with myself, Teu made and released competitions and encouraged participation, as well as helping to plan the entire event. Teu also developed a report schedule for the Summit, which evenly spaces out reports throughout the month so they are not cluttered.

In general, Teu is not only the backbone of our Summit, but also a very active member. She is the type of leader who leads from the front. She participates in TOR activities a lot, being another highly active member of the guild. She also enters many competitions, such as the Championship Ladder, Ambitions Runon, and DGM’s Quick & Easy competitions.

Finally, Teu is always helpful to new members and Summit members alike. She goes far beyond the requirements of her position and can always be found on Google Talk or IRC and has a high email turnaround time. Her years of experience both as a member and on Summit, as well as her approachable, friendly attitude make her an invaluable asset in this regard.

For these reasons I would like to award Teu a much-deserved Sapphire Blade. Congratulations, Teu!

• KP Locke Sonjie Consul of Clan Naga Sadow

In the time I've known Teu I have known her to be constantly working. Whether it be to promote the awesome programs offered within the CNS or to just give a Journeyman someone to talk to. She was always a present force within the Summit driving activity. She does a lot of things she doesn't have to, but rather wants to. Whether this means making all nighters or just hopping into ToR and helping any who ask you can be sure that Teu is doing it. She is constantly striving for activity and pushing others to do the same, and that is something to be admired.

• Atra Ventus Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan

Teu is such a dedicated and valuable member of the club. She has defined the rollmaster position and set it up so that all future rollmasters will have an easier transition. She consistently helps any and everyone that requires assistance. She is highly active in ToR and is always volunteering to help others complete their goals. The Clan and the club as a whole are lucky to have such a dedicated member.

• Kalia Phoenyx Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos

Drive, determination and duty are three things that encapsulate Teu Pepoi and her continuing service to Clan Naga Sadow. Having held down a variety of positions, from Aedile, to Rollmaster, and now Proconsul of the Clan, Teu has now been a member of the Clan Summit for well over the past two years.

Throughout this time, if there is one thing above all others for which she has stood out, it has long been her dedication to the club's next generation, and her sense of duty in this endeavour has been evident in virtually everything else she has done. Whether it was her drive to bridge the gap between generations by trying to breathe new life back into the Clan's Master-Student program, or the hours she has spent across the years working with numerous different Summit administrations to continue to push for reform of many of the Clan's outdated or outmoded ways of working, such as the abundance of redundant chaff that has until very recently littered the Clan's wiki, to give but one example that her and Locke have recently taken steps to address.

Further, Teu has never been one to balk when it comes to pushing through new initiatives, whether they be her own or new policies passed down from the Dark Council. In this, Teu has long been one of the key figures in reshaping the ways of thinking of many a chiselled veteran, and in this she has shown herself to be a keen mediator and reformer. Moreover, all this comes in spite of her own personal hardships in real life, and Teu's continuing capacity to face -- and conquer -- the challenges presented her by the Dark Brotherhood reveals her passion and determination.

For this, along with the many other things this award's other recommendations have surely listed, I commend Teu and congratulate her on what represents a well earned thank you for all she has done, and will hopefully continue to do in the months, and perhaps years, ahead.

We have not had a massive crisis in some time (thank god), but the maintenance of the Brotherhood's systems never stops. With so much competing code and servers that are unruly on the best of days it takes someone special with the knowledge and tempermant to keep the cogs of the club running without running and screaming for the hills. Although have a good and highly productive life outside of the club, Orv still manages to find some time to continue to help improve everything we do here. He has always been adding bits and pieces to our infrastructure when he has a chance, as well as maintaining and stabilizing what he can when things pop up. His efforts continue to take him beyond the here and now, instead focusing on the future and ensuring that the club stays relevant, at least technologically, for years to come. His efforts cannot always be seen, yet the fact that our website continue to function and even improve is a testament to his skill and efforts. Thanks for everything, Orv, and please keep it up!

Orv is epic. And not in the Xbox gamer way. He's not just a sixteen year old kid swearing profanities and insulting mothers (although he is from Arcona, so the mum thing goes without saying), but more like Gilgamesh, who the gods hated so much that they killed his best buddy and he stormed the underworld and attacked the very gods that had sought to kill him. He's that kind of ancient awesomeness. Orv works a double shift every day. EVERY DAY. He goes to work at 8 am and comes home at midnight. He is also a husband and a caring father, so he has another twelve hour job on top of that. Figure in five hours for sleep (i'm being generous here) and we can see that Orv does thirty-three hours of stuff in every day. That's before you calculate the work he does for us...work that I may add doesn't pay him, except in pixels. So when I tell you that Orv has been the one guy responsible for keeping our site from sinking like an overweight flailing man in quicksand, you have some kind of reference for how much he does. He keeps the hackers at bay. He polishes the site functionality and adds to it where he can. He's also been working with the other coders and is working to make sure that everyone is up to speed, which is a crucial bit of site planning. On top of all that, I know he has been working on several big overhaul-type projects for the site. I don't have a way to even guess at how many hours he spends on our site a week, and frankly, I don't want to open that can of worms, because i remember having a similar discussion with Jac when I was herald. So, I will just repeat. Orv is Epic. And to commemorate and reward that work, I am proud to present to him a Sapphire Blade as a token of our appreciation for him. Thank you, Orv. Your work means a lot to all of us. ~ Muz Ashen, Dark Lord of the Sith

Macron Goura Sadow is a member of the Dark Brotherhood who has done great work for the club over a long period of time and continues to do so to this day. He is the embodiment of dedication. Macron has been Consul twice and participated and placed in many Great Jedi Wars and other vendettas. I have only had the honor of working with him for a short time, but already in that time Macron has shown me what serving one’s Clan is about. He sets the example by making sure members are properly awarded, running Clan events, keeping the Summit on task, participating in major competitions, and helping newer members out, myself included.

When Macron took office in his most recent term as Consul, we performed a thorough audit of the membership. Many were awarded or promoted, and Macron diligently collected information and compiled it to see if the member in question was worthy of recognition. Throughout his term as Consui Macron kept up with awards, making sure members were recognized for their contributions. Furthermore, Macron kept the Summit on task, ensuring that recommendations were written and submitted in a timely manner.

Macron also took it upon himself to open communication lines with our allies in Independent House Taldryan. During his time he made contact and was one of the main drivers for the event Alliance of Steel. Macron demonstrated his tenacity by keeping up with the event planning and making sure things got done as they were supposed to. Though the event didn’t go well, afterward Macron immediately began looking toward the future and how things could be done differently.

Not simply content to lead from the top, Macron did his fair share of getting in the trenches as well. He participated in such competitions as the Monthly Topic, taking first place in the Three-Man Runon and in the process helping a newer member learn the ropes of Runon-writing. Macron also participated in the Championship Ladder in the ACC, setting a great example for his Clan in that department. Furthermore, Macron maintained a presence in the Clan’s developmental Runon - Worldwreckers.

As noted above, Macron has helped newer members throughout his time as Consul. He worked closely with Kairus in the Three-Man Runon competition. He taught me a lot about what it meant to serve on Clan Summit and what was expected. Not content to leave helping newer members to the Rollmaster and House leadership, Macron offered advice and answered questions where he was able.

For the above reasons, along with his consistent strong dedication to Clan and Brotherhood, I would like to request a Sapphire Blade for Macron’s hard work. Congratulations, Macron!

• KP Locke Sonjie Consul of Clan Naga Sadow

I have known Macron for many years, previously as a regular member in the Clan not as a member of summit. There is much that can be said when you approach him from that angle, he is a jovial guy who always has an air about Sadow succeeding. However once I took up the mantle of leadership under him, his dedication to Sadow became apparent. He was always looking for ways to make it push forward towards the next step. Always coaxing people on to do better and do more if they could. He was also very approachable about issues that came out and negotiating them to a workable conclusion. When we had a problem, he contacted people and made sure it was cleared up right.

In the past me and Macron have butted heads about many of things, however after we saw past our own stubbornness we realized our goals were one and the same but our solutions were very different as was our own perceptions of the issues themselves. Once we got past this hiccup our ability to work together grew stronger and in the end made Clan Naga Sadow better. I respect this man for his long dedication to the clan and this Sapphire Blade is more than earned by this mad alchemist.

Overall, Macron has been active for the course of years within the walls of Naga Sadow. His title of Son of Sadow shows this activity and dedication. He has participated in many competitions, earn a bunch of medals, bust most recently he wrote a run on that won a diamond crescent in a monthly topic. He has also created and ran a small feud with that of Taldryan where it was co-op. We were to work together with those in that house. He is always looking for ways to help Sadow, even now when real life has taken a sharp turn away from the DB he is offering his assistance with this transition to a new summit. Thank you for your service Macron. :)

• Exarch Teu Pepoi CNS Proconsul

Macron has always been an influential member of Clan Naga Sadow. From his previous leadership positions, to being a Son, and most recently Consul of CNS, Macron has always been there for anyone who needs help and guidance. As a normal member of the House Macron is sometimes more active them some of my active JM, he always has the drive and devotion to serve his clan. During this last term as Consul, Macron did a lot to help the clan push forward even if he only lead the Clan for four months. He made progress in the clan’s lore, he pushed his leaders to regular contact members and to encourage them to participate. Even in the position of Consul he managed to earn a Crescent with Emerald Star and Diamond Star. He earn himself a Legion of Scholar, 10 Clusters of Ice, and was even appointed an Assistant Professor for the SA. That more than some members do in four months without holding a major leadership position. I feel as if Macron deserves our thanks and gratitude for the time that he lead us. Therefore I recommend that he be awarded a Sapphire Blade. Congrats!

~ SBL Jeric Cyrin, HMR Quaestor

In his latest term as Consul, Macron remains ever the model leader and member of this club. Winding back the clock two years, Macron was there when the clock turned back and Clans became Independent Houses once more; but whereas many old timers became disgruntled and bitter, Macron could see the need and stepped up to the table, with Sai laying down the building blocks in his term as Quaestor that were subsequently built off after his time in office was sadly cut short for much the same reasons as real life calling him away from Consul now. But what a time in office it was! Even in his what may appear shorter spells in the hot seats than some others, Macron has always given it 110%, working hard with the rest of the Summit, leading, meditating, driving activity and coming up with ideas that I'm sure others will have discussed at length in their own recommendations for this well deserved award.

In one of his reports last year, I recall Muz himself said that all leaders should practice what their preech, and that inspiration is best achieved when members see those above them getting out there and enjoying the activities the Brotherhood has to offer. In this, Macron's dossier record speaks for itself, with his virtually unending stream of medals from participation in vendettas to the ACC to internal Clan competitions and more. Even for a new member, eager to impress their new superiors and move up the ranks, this would be impressive; but for a leader, in charge of one of the Brotherhood's two clans, this makes it ever the more noteworthy. Moreover, Macron isn't a college student with hours of free time, but a man with a family and the pressures of a job out in the real world, making his continuing devotion -- and enthusiasm! -- for this club something that should serve as an inspiration for all those just starting out in Clan Naga Sadow.

On top of this, throughout the past year, Macron has toiled away on the upcoming vendetta, which I believe we will finally see reach its culmination this summer, when we will all be able to enjoy the fruits of his hard labour. And this is on top of his workload as Consul, his job as a mad scientist in the real world, his family commitments, his own seemingly endless participation in Brotherhood events. Sometimes, I don't know how Macron still does it, and I just wish I still had the time to be even half the member he is today.

Macron, you continue to inspire even the oldest of us, and I thank you again for everything you do for this club!

Wuntila Entar is the keystone of this fine Clan. His indomitable will, outgoing nature, honest good intentions and frank ability to speak his mind are the cement which holds us together, and without him I have little doubt that we’d not be nearly as strong as we are today – perhaps not even worthy of Clan. His accomplishments are myriad. In terms of medals, he’s earned a Grand Cross, 4 Crescents with Sapphire stars, 2 Crescents with Emerald stars, A Seal of Loyalty, An Anteian Cross, a Crescent with a Ruby star and two Seals of Return. However, it’s his projects that really speak home about how much of a boon to Arcona he truly is.<br><br>

Implementation of Arcona Military system: For this he constructed a team for the authoring and construction of the wiki pages, with detailed analysis into Arcona’s history, member development and room for expansion. In essence, it gave a new, exciting and accessible layer to character fictional development, along with uniting those who are now within different houses or units. It revived some of Arcona’s unity and strength and it was a fundamental project in the reshaped, redefined Arcona. Not only this, but it gave members, new and old, an opportunity to put their two cents into an exciting new project which has thrived under the current administration.<br><br>

Summit duties: As Aedile and Proconsul, he has worked tirelessly to bring activity back into the old, relatively stagnant Arcona. This was achieved through many different paths. Fundamentally, competitions were a starting point. He hosted regular competitions, large and small, in order to really connect with the members and tease out some of the talent Arcona has to show. This, along with the success of the Communication Breakdown Run-On, wherein many Arconans, along with the Tarenti, became involved in the fictional development and training purposes of the event provided a stable ground where Arcona could practice in its downfall – Run-Ons. This not only brought some of the old, less in-tune members, but it inspired others outside of Arconan reach to really aspire to group together and flourish as a result. He has also been involved in all major summit tasks, from the supervision of the new and improved house location of Port Ol’val by House Qel-Droma and the recently released Battleteam Revenance Virtuom. These two constructions have provided activity in abundance, as well as providing yet another opportunity for members to put their own stamp on Arcona as a whole. He holds regular meetings, whether necessary or not, to ensure that the Summit is working to an acceptable standard and to inform the summit of any given change in the Arconan agenda. He has fulfilled the usual summit tasks and taken it upon himself to award every single member who proves their worth the minute their work is processed. This has ultimately brought about the well-oiled machine that Arcona currently is and it doesn’t seem to be slowing.<br><br>

Co-Author of the Operations system which has been adopted DB-Wide: Wuntila and the Consul both constructed the idea of Operations, wherein individuals may participate in a range of competitions to suit their own personal needs. Those who were polymaths were indeed showered with praise, but those who were not in such a position to possess skills in every field were given the opportunity to become part of Arconan history. This success branched from Operation: Haystack into the following and enabled members (In each and every competition) to be written into the Arconan Story Arc.<br><br>

Numerous Arcona-Related tasks: Wuntila has also been charged with the constant training of the Quaestors and Aediles for their positions and maintaining order within the two houses. This task has been not only rewarding for all involved, but essential in the development of Clan Arcona. Both Houses’ Quaestors and Aediles have been given a helping hand in such a delicate time. The upper summit has worked tirelessly to ensure that members are not only inspired into activity, but they maintain such activity with new, fresh ideas. This sparked the initial idea of Port Ol’val and has disseminated into the very fabric of the houses. Each house member has been approached by their House summit and individually asked what they want to see in the future. This level of friendliness and initiative has only been achieved through the long and arduous process of training.<br><br>

Wuntila was one of the lead authors of the re-clanning proposal which saw Arcona rise from a House back to Clan status. In his capacity as one of the leading authors, he oversaw the writing, construction, formatting and order of issues brought about, taking considerable time to make sure not only his own writing was up to scratch, but that of others. Over a three-day period, he wrote over 10,000 words for both parts of the proposal. Each and every asset Arcona used in said proposal was painstakingly planned out and submitted through the watchful eyes of Wuntila, the Consul, Timeros and myself. It was a mammoth task, but one which Wun took on with passion and it is one of his greatest achievements in the Dark Brotherhood.<br><br>

Finally, as a footnote, it’s worthy to remember that he managed to place 14th in the recent Independence Games after entering only two events (given that he had exams and essay deadlines for university during that period). Wuntila is a man of many, many talents and it’s high time he was rewarded in a manner which reflects this. Well done. – Sashar Arconae.<br><br>

Well, Wuntila has been the heart and soul of Arcona since he rejoined the summit as my Aedile late last year. Since then he has exemplified everything that a leader should be, pioneering schemes to coax activity out of the members and making sure that everyone has something to do and someone to support them. Not only this, but Wuntila has stayed active in his own right, participating in numerous competitions on offer in Arcona and the Brotherhood as a whole, taking part with skill and more often than not, taking one of the top 3 positions when he entered. <br><br>

So, he's a good leader, he's active and he's got the skills that thrill(s). However, it is the personality of Wuntila that truly helps to meld these various parts into the whole that has pulled Arcona through the trials to becoming a Clan once more. He is approachable, friendly and fiercely loyal, all traits that have proven to be exceptionally helpful in his job as the 2IC of Arcona and he commands respect from everyone who deals with him. More than this though, Wuntila has been extremely important when it came to the proposal which was presented with regards to regaining status as Clan. Sam was instrumental in helping to write and present the various arguments and presentations to the Grand Master and his work was integral in getting Arcona regaining Clan status. <br><br>

Wuntila is the best leader I've seen for a long time. He's active, approachable and exceptionally good at his job. He keeps the summit working together and not tearing each other's throats out, and he is possibly one of the most patient people I've worked with in the Brotherhood. He fully deserves this and then some, but hopefully this small token of our thanks will do. <br><br>

Bloody good work Sam, you've more than earned this. – Zandro Arconae<br><br>

When I first met Wuntila, he was already a powerhouse of DJB activity. As a new member in his original Clan, he had already distinguished himself in being active and amazing, a true breath of fresh air in a Brotherhood whose conception of ‘new member’ tends to involve leetspeak and sentences that can only be comprehended through painstaking cryptographic efforts. Wuntila, on the other hand, drew attention by being intelligent, well-spoken and concise, and his joining us was an immense breath of fresh air to Arcona. His innate leadership talent coupled with a fiery and exuberant attitude towards, well, everything has helped propel him first to Aedile of House Arcona, and then in no small due to his efforts exalted us to Clan – and him to Proconsul. As fellow Summit members - though in fairness I must admit that compared to Wuntila, I hardly feel like a leader at all - we worked together on Arcona’s initial proposal for Clanhood, putting together the arguments that would grant us Clanhood. When the Star Chamber raised the first round of counters, he once again took the lead in bringing forth Arcona’s argument and, in no small part thanks to his efforts, we finally gained Clan status.<br><br>

Even after this tremendous achievement, itself more than sufficient to grant a member inclusion as one of Arcona’s pillars, our Proconsul has forged on, creating and refining the operation system of activity, linking together many hitherto disjointed activities into coherent storylines and plots. He has also spent a significant amount of time awarding members and leaders for their efforts, so that no one goes under-appreciated in the Shadow Clan, save himself. Given Wuntila’s activity, I don’t think anything we could offer would be a suitably grand compensation, so I guess a Sapphire Blade will have to do.<br><br> - Timeros Entar Arconae<br><br>

Hm. What to say that can properly portray why Wuntila Zratian Entar deserves this Sapphire Blade without writing so much that 1) I blind you all with a wall of text or 2) that I start to repeat myself. A hard task, clearly. So here we go: <br><br>

To put it baldly, Wuntila is quite possibly one of the best members of the Dark Brotherhood that I have ever seen in my 4 years as a brother, and definitely the most dedicated, active, and hardworking of Arcona’s leaders. I like to tell myself that Wuntila is “di Tenebrous Arconae” in everything but name; he’s always around, always available to offer advice or help mentor a member (be they new or old), give feedback on ideas. <br><br>

When it comes to being the Proconsul of Arcona, Wun never has a low supply of praise for his subordinates, but only when they deserve it, and trust me, when said subordinates need a strict talking to or (virtual) cuff on the back of the head…he’s always there. But that’s what makes Wuntila such a great leader, he’s proficient in both areas of leadership and in the areas that he falls short in, of which there aren’t many, his dynamic relationship with Zandro Erinos Arconae, our Consul, quickly balances it out. <br><br>

Additionally, Wuntila’s contributions to the Clan, beyond just sitting in the position of Proconsul, are numerous. I’ll let the Activity List that will be submitted with this recommendation show the exact details of what he’s done but let me capitalize on two points of great import: <br><br>

Without Wuntila, Arcona would not have regained Clan Status. 2) Without Wuntila, Arcona would still sport a defunct Order of Battle, with a “so-so” military. Now, Arcona boasts a diverse military, consisting of four branches that not only is more “modern”, but also allows members to join and advance within their branch of choice dependent on their Prestige Rankings. <br><br>

The final thing I’d like to add is that Wuntila doesn’t quit when the going gets tough; recently, Wun had an accident concerning his laptop that, for the most part, put him out of contact with the rest of the Clan. This was at a time when we were running one of our joint-Operations with House Tarentum and having our leaders present and visible was quite important. <br><br>

However, despite Wun being “screwed” and when just taking a step away from the Brotherhood would be the easiest thing to do, he dominated his mobile device to stay on mIRC as much as he could and constantly sent out updates to the Arconan Summit from an older computer. That right there is dedication and loyalty. That right there is what makes Wuntila Zratian Entar a great friend, mentor, and leader. And that right there is why he deserves a Sapphire Blade. Congratulations, Wun! Definitely well earned! <br><br> Talos Erinos<br><br>

As I write this reccomendatin for Wun, I can't help but think back to when I was trying to pull his leg just to get him to be a BTL with me. Who would have thought that he would exceed even that, climbing from Aedile, to Proconsul? I knew it all along, and Wun has continued to prove that he is one of the finest members of not just Arcona, but the entire brotherhood. He asserts his leadership better than anyone I've ever served under. He is inspiring, passionate, and cares more about his members than himself. It's this selfless drive that makes Wun so great. He doesn't mind being the "bad guy" in a situation if it means getting the job done, and doing what's best for the House. I'm not one for long drawn out reccs, but feel that I shouldn't need to, honestly. His actions speak for themselves, and there is no one else I would rather throw my weight behind and support in a given task. He is a great leader, a good friend, and a better person.<br><br> Marick del’Abbot

Master Sashar Erinos, 2011-07-07 02:58:22 UTC

I was talking with Ceth about this the other day. Who’d have ever guessed that A: I’d be able to get over myself and give him a chance, and B: he’d actually be able to make something of himself in Arcona’s summit? Neither of us, that’s for sure, but make it he has. And he’s even gone one step better and excelled. I’ll get the boring necessary stuff out of the way first, to prove that he actually deserves the reward before we start saying how he’s a step away from solving world hunger whilst composing a concerto, pleasing my mother in a way my dad never thought possible AND delivering the 9th reincarnation of the Buddha.

Heeeeere we go! Right, in terms of medals, since his last promotion, he’s earned fifteen Seals of Unity, A Grand Cross of the Dark Side, three Dark Crosses, two Scrolls of Foundation, a Legion of the Scholar, five Crescents with Emerald Stars, One hundred and forty two (!!!) Clusters of Fire, a Pendant of Blood, a Crescent with Sapphire Star, a Crescent with Amethyst Star, a Crescent with Topaz Star, a Steel Cross, five Seals of Bone, a Seal of Loyalty and finally fourteen Clusters of Ice. This is insane. That’s JUST the medals!

Next up: His leadership. He’s got a Dark Maven for service to the SA (which he’s still doing and has been for 4 months previously as Professor or something), been Quaestor of Exar Kun for about two months, Battleteam Leader of Wolf Guard and Shadow gate for a combined time of 5 months, Aedile of Galeres for a month, and Quaestor of Galeres for two months previously and still holds the position today. That’s a combined time of about 14 months in various leadership roles. He doesn’t just collected failed summit positions, either; he’s worked damn, damn hard to better whatever he’s put in command of and puts out prompt reports, has run a total of twenty competitions (if you really, really want me to list them all I can) – he’s brought in new members from Myspace, Fabook, Twitter and Bebo through a DB advertising campaign (which he headed up), He’s run the War of Domination for Galeres, which brought about a marked increase in activity with his House; always nice to see. He’s tried his hand at the Arcona wiki revamp project, participated in 5 ACC matches, is NEVER off IRC, run Clan Arcona IRC trivia, trained up BTLs in Galeres in the form of Inarya and Maaks, honestly he can do it all. There is nothing he cannot manage as a leader (other than apparently using a spell checker) and is well overdue for a promotion. Okay, I need to pause for breath, but you see where I’m coming from, right? The activity listed is superhuman. Titanic. It probably outshines some clans, and it deserves recognition.

Good job, mate. You’ve put us all to shame with your activity, especially in the face of such adversity.

Sashar Arconae

Well, what more is there really to say about Cethgus that hasn’t already been mentioned here. He and I haven’t always necessarily seen eye to eye, but I feel that everyone can accept that Cethgus cares a great deal about this club and every day he works to improve it in his own way. He is always there with advice and help where it is needed, his enthusiasm is always refreshing and surprisingly unique and he is always online, chipping in and adding his own output to whatever is going on at the time. He is supremely active, gleefully flooding my inbox regularly with medal reports from his escapades into the gaming that is on offer in the Brotherhood along with also submitting fictions and helping to run things in the background as and when it is required. His work in the Shadow Academy has already been mentioned by the Headmaster, but it just goes to show that he is not one-dimensional, diversifying himself and spreading himself wide but not thinly, not letting any part of his activity falter at the expense of another. I could harp on all day, but I’d just be reiterating what has already been said, so allow me to sum it all up; Cethgus is one of those few members whose work more than deserves to be rewarded with a sacramental medal. He has worked to better himself, he has worked to better Arcona and he has worked to better the Brotherhood as a whole with his work as a Professor in the Shadow Academy and a member of the gaming staff. He is a prize that Arcona is proud to possess, and long may we do so. Congratulations Cethgus, this is more than deserved. Keep up the good work and give me an excuse to stroke your ego some more in the future.

Ceth has been on my staff for a bit over 4 months now, and in that time he has done one heck of a job. He's always been suggesting competitions including Old versus New, Naruto Special Gaming event, the Halo Reach Tourny, and several others that are on our calendar that is coming up. He constantly games, and evidence to that is the 313 matches that he played in the month of February, beating a record that was set by Smoke back in August which was 293, but also as further evidence to this fact, there hasn't been a month that he did not rank up in the GMRG. He was originally scripted to make sure that everything that I did while on the Gaming Servers that I had acquired ran smoothly and that I didn't make any mistake. Cethgus also wrote the original Sections in the RoC for the Halo Series, Alien versus Predator, and Star Craft 2. He also took over administration of the training days, where he makes sure that we have enough trainers for the respective games, as well as informing our members of our training days, and making sure that the trainers are ready for the training days. On the training days it self, he tracks how many hours the trainer has been training, as well as how many matches, and at the end of the day he awards the trainees the CF's that they had earned for that day. Finally, he was a major part of of Project Icon. He created the General Rules for Matchmaking and the Free For All sections in the RoC. Thanks Ceth for all you do and Congrats on your award dude!

What I ask of my Magistrates is to handle minor tasks, such as creating warbanners and handling minor image designs. However, Ekeia has not sat back and been satisfied with doing minor work and has always asked to challenge herself. In that respect, I charged her with creating a lightsaber for the lightsaber selector. Despite her skills and knowledge to create one, she created 24 images for the saber selector that I have seen displayed on the dossiers of many members.<br><br>In addition to this, she has assisted further during the Herald Style Hanukkah by providing the blades on all of the Serpent saberstaff hilts, which helped in ensuring that we started the event on time. She has also completed 12 warbanners for various members and is currently working under Jeric to provide images for multiple pages on the Wikipedia. Finally, she has spent money on the core program that myself and Muz use to produce the vast majority of the images displayed in the Brotherhood, working to expand her knowledge in graphic designing.<br><br>For her unfaltering dedication to the Brotherhood, Herald’s Office, and for striving to excel for the benefit of the general membership, I would like to award Ekeia Iclo with her first Sapphire Blade. Congratulations and thank you for your hard work and dedication.<br><br>-DA Shikyo Keibatsu Sadow<br>Herald of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood

As a member of the Dark Council, I have to make certain that I have a reliable team that can get the job done with haste and high expectations of themselves. When I asked Jeric to help out in Herald Style Hanukkah, he produced a second saber set with such quality and haste that I was shocked at his productivity. In addition to his saber design for the selector, which equals to 24 sabers created, he also produced seven custom sabers for members, along with two warbanners.<br><br>Though he has spent a fairly large amount of time designing items for the Herald’s Office, I have charged him with administrating the production of images for the Wikipedia, to help further his administrating skills aside from graphic design. For his service to the Herald’s Office, headstrong dedication to serving the Brotherhood, and eagerness to improve the quality of his skills for the sake of the Brotherhood, I would like to present Jeric Cyrin with his first Sapphire Blade. Congratulations and thank you for your hard work and dedication.<br><br>-DA Shikyo Keibatsu Sadow<br>Herald of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Anubis has been nothing short of a blessing to Taldryan since his return. As a leader, it was my joy to have someone who could be counted on to not only do a project, but get it done on time, satisfactorily, and above all reasonable expectations! This commitment to sacrificing his own time so that the members of our Clan can benefit is exemplified in the amount of work he has completed not only on my wiki projects but that of the entire DB’s! Normally, the completion of a project warrants a merit award, but I am asking that you consider some of the following.<b> While Consul, it was my sole goal to update, revitalize, and revamp the planets and planetary systems that Taldryan possesses. I wrote up a short document for system detailing each planet and then assigned the work to my then Proconsul Vorion and my then Aedile of House Ektrosis, Anubis. Anubis jumped at the chance, took to the work with much enthusiasm and had the Proconsul asking me for specific assignments he could do that Anubis hadn’t already taken care of. Over the course of my tenure as Consul, the Rybanloth and Kr’Tal projects came together piece by piece with his meticulous efforts. Images, information, and pages all come to and through him and became one. Without his work on these projects, I would not have seen their completion!<br> Also, just as the Clans became houses, Anubis of his own accord compiled the Taldryan Security Service’s OOB into several useful and helpful wiki pages, revamping the existing OOB but also assigning the ground forces into units, brigades, companies and the like. His work in organizing the ground forces, it was pointed out to me by the Justicar and former Taldryan Consul, that it rivaled the amount of work he himself put into the Naval forces years ago after the Tempest Bravo reset. <br> Mind you that Anubis has been, and continues to be, the Aedile and second-in-command to House Taldryan while he completed these projects. As a leader, I found him to be very responsible, highly motivated, and of a higher caliber than most members. Anubis is sharp, vocal, and intelligent; a nice counter-balance to the Proconsul I had for much of my term as Consul. <br> For his work in aiding and furthering Taldryan’s considerable fictional background, for his trepid desire to work for others, and for the leadership he’s shown over the past year, I recommend that this Sapphire Blade be awarded to Anubis Aneddu. Congratulations Anbu.<br> ~Vodo Biask Taldrya<br> <br> Here is where I get right into it. Anubis Annedu is by far the most active member in Taldryan, and even more assuredly one of the most dedicated members and/or leaders this Brotherhood has seen in recent years. His dedication to fulfilling projects and seeing members to find their niche in this club is hardly paired by anyone I’ve seen in action. I’ve heard stories of the greats in the past and what they’ve done for the Brotherhood, and looking at the direction Anubis is going, he too will be one of those members people look back on in the future as one of those “greats”. <br> As such, it is only right that I give an example(s) as to what exactly he has done to merit this award, and I hope it will be used by other members reading this recommendation who wish to be a productive, outstanding member and leader. <br> Before becoming Wiki Tribune, and well before being appointed Aedile of Taldryan Anubis was tasked with by the then CON of Taldryan, Vodo Biask Taldrya to help with updating the well outdated Kr’Tal system information via the wiki. Vodo supplied details for Anbu and his PCON to get working on the project; Anubis dug right in. Tirelessly Anubis worked through this project in a fast-paced fashion, his work load being close to doubled as he ended up working on the rest of the Kr’Tal system and Rybanloth system revamps/edits by himself, a sign of his true dedication to a project that when started appeared as a dismal/daunting task that was not going to end shortly. Nearly a couple of months later, the brotherhood had shifted its way of leadership, and I stepped up to the spot of QUA of Taldryan. Anubis shortly came knocking on my door with a finished and ready-to-launch Newly Revamped Kr’Tal system. I sent it to select members within Taldryan, and they approved it within a heartbeat. <br> One large-scale project completed, Anubis began to work on other small projects I had tasked him with, and shortly thereafter I received the blessing of Grand Master Muz to appoint Anubis to Aedile of Taldryan after hosting applications. Anubis eagerly stepped up and quickly began work on the newly released Ground-Forces Reset, turning it from mere text on a spreadsheet to full on Regiments, Companies, Battalions, etc. on the DJB Wiki. Once again I submitted his work to Select Taldryan members, and once more they approved, this time making mention of the sheer professionalism that the documents held. <br> As if his two accomplishments for his House were not enough, Anubis continues to push forward with his duties as Aedile (And now Tribune of the Wiki). Reports are found near-every two weeks, emails spew across the Tal’ mailing list, and IRC is constantly flooded with his name on the nicklist and it is rare that an event on the Message Boards go unnoticed by Anubis’s prowling eyes. <br> During the Vendetta “Disorder” Anubis brought pride to his home by competing in 7 events for his Order. Though he did not place in any of the events he participated in, it’s not the placement that counts the most, rather the effort. During the war Anubis kept his house updated on the events that were ongoing for their respective weeks. He was also found on IRC pumping up activity where necessary, along with conversing with other members in his Order to work out events. It was clear that Anubis knew his role in leading by example.<br> Over the course of August-September Anubis earned himself 9 Dark Side Scrolls for work done on the Dark Jedi Brotherhood Wiki. This included edits, fixing links, images, official Taldryan House articles, along with his Character Article being nominated for DJBWikipedian of the month. It’s no wonder why Anubis was chosen as Tribune of the Wiki, as he clearly knows it inside-and-out. I feel overshadowed sometimes with the knowledge about some of the various aspects of the DJB that he knows. <br> Anubis is constantly being one of the lead factors to how we rule over our House and home, House Taldryan. Running competitions and writing reports are second nature to him, and being there for his members and other members of the Brotherhood are just some of the things he capitalizes on during a daily basis. I could not be the leader I am without my Aedile, and Anubis is the perfect example of what a good Aedile is and should be. Other Houses aren’t fortunate enough to have such an active, competent AED leading them. Anubis displays his love for this club day in and day out, whether it be running a DJB wide Bryar Bowl, or opening up the option for members to create report graphics for him, or just hanging out on IRC with other members who share the same love. To be honest, I am surprised Anubis has not received an award like this before. Other Houses neglected what special qualities he has, so I hope that this award displays a small bit as to what Anubis truly is worth. <br> Anubis man, this has been a long time coming, and each time I wanted to award you for your hard work you kept starting more things. Finally, I bit the bullet. You deserve this bro, and don’t let all of that text above puff up your head anymore than it is already. ;)<br> -Quaestor Shaz’air Taldryan

Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow. The original Afro-Jedi. This man is a shining star in our club. Many people in the DB look up to him, and with good reason. His service in many leadership positions including Proconsul, Quastor, Aedile, and Deputy Combat Master is outstanding. For certain, many within Naga Sadow look up to him. Sai has always been the cool head, the diplomat, the Devil's advocate. I have been privileged to serve alongside him many times in my long career in Naga Sadow. His performance and leadership from the front in every vendetta and Great Jedi war since he has been in Naga Sadow is much appreciated and inspires the younglings and us old farts alike. This is reflected in his bearing of the Sadow name, and the numerous awards and medals he has in his bag. if every leader in our club was like Sai we couldn't ask for better. For his hard work, long efforts, tireless (and quiet) service and his always bringing his "A" game to this club as a whole, Sai should be rewarded. It makes me very happy to reccomend this, and in Naga Sadow's opinion it is long overdue. ~Macron Goura Sadow, HNS Quaestor, Consul Emeritus Sai is one of those stalwarts who've now been in the Clan-turned-House for many years, having become one of the elders of Naga Sadow. Indeed, in the past year, there's been little in Naga Sadow that hasn't either had Sai's name on it, or else which he hasn't in some form had direct impact on. Whether on the front lines in the spotlight as Proconsul and latterly as Aedile, or from the shadows as one of those elder stalwarts whose views always provide a guiding hand, helping others. Looking back at the past twelve-to-eighteen months, I can remember how Sai has had a direct influence on virtually every storyline that we've carried out, going right back to the Ninth Great Jedi War. Much as I may often end up being seen as the storylines' mouthpieces, so many of the raw creative ideas these days in actuality come from the minds of people such as Sai. The entire story of Cyrus Raze, for example, began as a two week insert to bring Shan Long back into the Clan for the Great Jedi Warâ?"until Sai suggested bringing Cyrus back after he was thrown off a cliff and instead using him as one of the GJW's main antagonists. Fast-forwarding to the Spring of this year, once again Sai has been at the creative forefront, this time of the Unrest in the City developmental run-on, spearheading the ongoing story's development with the help of Malisane and recently Fremoc. Having begun back in April, Unrest has now been running for getting on for five months, being what began as an experimental project masterminded by Sai, which was envisioned as a permanently ongoing character development run-on. Back in April, at the time I claimed it couldn't be done, looking back at attempts by Ashura last year at something very similar, believing that Sai was biting off far, far more than he could chew, that interest just couldn't be sustained for that stretch of time. However, looking at the message board today, Unrest in the City has become the most successful run-on to be carried out in more than two years, eclipsing everything that has been run since as far back as 2008 and is now closing on surpassing even some of Naga Sadow's Great Jedi War performances. And this is all because of the work and determination of Sai and Malisane to engineer an ongoing, "Act" based run-on, which has consequently seen some of the highest activity levels and most successful team-building in as long as I can remember. Run-ons and fictional development aside, Sai's whole character lends much to be credited as well. Whether helping others, focusing on the younger generation and bolstering retention of the up and coming membership (as examples like his work on the run-ons demonstrates), or just his general sociable demeanourâ?"Sai is one of those people who just fits in, quietly, sociably, and happily. He's one of those people who is here for the enjoyment to be had from the club, and he lives his beliefs, hoping to ensure everyone else has the same, fulfilling experience. Be it his work as Proconsul, Aedile, Deputy Combat Master, or just the general helping hand he has continued to provide at all times, Sai is a credit to Naga Sadow and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole. While Sai might be Krath, nobody's perfect; nonetheless, the boy done good, the boy done good. -Xanos Zorrixor Darth Vexatus I've known Sai for several years now, and throughout that time he has stood as a shining example of the very best kind of member that the DB has. Mature, intelligent, thoughtful and dedicated to improving the club in any way that he can, Sai has fulfilled many roles during his time here and been responsible for a large part of the positive atmosphere that I feel we can lay claim to in HNS/CNS. In the year since he was last promoted, Sai has done an amazing job as the Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh; performed admirably his duties as Deputy Combat Master; and been an excellent Proconsul to me and then Macron, providing a fountainhead of new ideas and thoughts and lending his sage advice to every discussion that came up amongst the clan Summit. His work in pioneering CNS' "Unrest in the City" run-on, an ongoing venue for fictional development which has become one of the longest-running and most enjoyable run-ons that we've ever done, is just one example of his ideas for making the Brotherhood a different and more enjoyable place. The other recommendations for his promotion will undoubtedly go into more exhaustive detail and list statistics; I simply feel that a man so devoted to the Brotherhood that he would continue to chip in and be heavily involved despite the birth of his child and all the responsibilities that come with fatherhood deserves recognition. Congratulations, cousin- you've earnt this in every way. ~KPN Manji Keibatsu Sadow, Ex-Consul of CNS During my years in Naga Sadow it has been an honor to always know we have the assistance of the Afro Jedi. Sai has shown great dedication towards his work always putting Naga Sadow ahead of his own personal achievements. He has always been willing to step up when his leadership skills are needed. Combine his individual accomplishments and his leadership experience. - SWL Kharon Daragon in cases...like these, it's very easy to slip into cliched phrases which exaggerate the impact of the individual in question. It is my pleasure to say that in this case, that isn't a worry. Since Sai was last promoted, he's been a Quaestor, Deputy Combat Master and stepped up to the plate to take on the Proconsul job, right before everyone changed to being Houses. It's very easy to be a leader during the good times, when your members are active and everyone's having fun. It's less easy to be a leader when things aren't going your way - something Sai knows all too well, having been a leader during these 'interesting times' before. His reaction is to regard it as a challenge and then to lead by example - something which cannot be emphasised enough as one of his good points. His own activity is not to be sniffed at and even during those periods in the last year where he was without some form of official leadership role, he was always trying to improve things for his House. In part by looking out for dozy young leaders like myself and reminding me of just what formidable footsteps I was attempting to follow in, but also through things like being one of the masterminds behind our current run on, which is currently in it's fourth month and massively informing the way the Clan's fictional canon is evolving. On top of all of these things, he instills a sense of cameraderie in people. For this reason alone, House Naga Sadow would be a much poorer place without him. I know a lot of younger members of the House look up to him - myself included. He is exactly what every leader in this club ought to be - mature, competent, with an insane work ethic, a good sense of humour and the humility not to let it all go to his head. He is more than ready for this. Congrats, boss! -Dyrra Skye Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow is a hard working, friendly, dedicated and imaginative member of this House and the Dark Brotherhood. Over the last twelve months in particular he has been a great member and leader, notably his great contribution to our vendetta results, his work on wiki and runon projects and of course his hard work as a leader as Aedile, Quaestor and Pro Consul where he has worked hard in each role to develop new members and provide fun activities for them to do as well as setting a good example of appropriate behaviour. Having worked with him on several projects I can testify that he addresses each with a mature, patient and open attitude listening to other peoples ideas and commenting and providing his own and he is a pleasure to work with. For all his recent and past activities ... I am more than happy to endorse this. Malisane Sadow, Rollmaster of Naga Sadow. A year and change for the man named Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow. A lot can happen between then, and now, and with Sai, a lot does happen. Aedile of Ludo Kressh, Quaestor of Ludo Kressh, Deputy Combat Master, Proconsul of Naga Sadow, and now the Aedile of House Naga Sadow. All duties that are associated with each position should say something to the man's work ethic, but also that he knows how to lead people properly and to make sure each person that is under him, is praised properly. Sai is the major mastermind to the Unrest in the City Developmental run on, and is a part of almost everything that goes on within our Clan/House. To say the least Sai is the man and I full recommend Sai. Congrats my friend, you've earned it. ~Templar Fremoc Pepoi, Sergeant, Magistrate to the Fist

Lord Muz Ashen Keibatsu, 2010-08-31 18:25:59 UTC

Malisane to say the least is probably the funniest men in the clan, but also loves his clan without a doubt. Since Malisane's last promotion, which was over 3 years ago, he has been the Left hand of Justice, Aedile and Quaestor of Ludo Kressh, Clan Rollmaster for CNS, and now the House Rollmaster for HNS. As Aedile and Quaestor he pushed his clan through the internal clan feud, but also created the Underworld run on for clan development. Most recently, he's was one of the masterminds on the Unrest in the City run on, another Run On for Clan development, but it would continue onward for other stories to play out as well. With his appointment to Rollmaster, he constantly welcomes new members to our House, he emails them almost weekly if not every few days, to check up on their progress. He also makes sure our Master Student program is running smoothly and that every master that wants an apprentice, will have one. In his time since his last promotion, he's earned a Grand Cross of the Dark Side, a Steel Cross, and 3 Dark Crosses and earned the prestigious title of Son of Sadow. Congrats Mal, you've earned it. ~Templar Fremoc Pepoi, Magistrate to the Fist

When I first joined the Brotherhood and then CNS, Malisane was a name I quickly got used to seeing in my email in-box, being the dynamic member that he was; that has not changed in my three plus years of membership. Mali, as we know him, has always been a vocal presence in our ethereal home, supporting ideas that he thought were good and providing insight on matters that he may not have agreed with. In that regard, Mali is a true change-agent, never shying from the difficult conversations or contrary opinions that are necessary and required to move any worthwhile entity forward. Even when he doesn't have an 'official' leadership position, he is not cowed into thinking that he must remain silent; on the contrary, Mali's love for his House truly transcends any title, as he, as before, is a constant presence and guiding force. His was one of the select minds I tapped to assist me with our groundbreaking runon project, and his ideas and energy have helped the HNS Developmental Run-On gain the legs that it has. Activity-wise, Malisane has earned a Grand Cross of the Dark Side, a Steel Cross, 3 Dark Crosses and has been dubbed a revered Son of Sadow, our House's highest honor. For being the member that he is, and for inspiring the rest of us to be greater than we are, I hereby, without reservation or malice aforethought, do lend my name and support. Congratulations! -Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow

It scares me sometimes when I get asked to write a recommendation and look at people's dossiers and see... 3 years, 3 months, 13 days. Has it really been that long since Malisanelast got a promotion? I'm not sure what hits me the most. The fact it reminds me how long I've been here, feeling as though we only promoted yesterday. Or the fact that Malisane, obviously, isn't the new guy I still think of him as anymore.

Like many of our esoteric little clique we like to call Naga Sadow, Malisane is one of those who just gets on with the job, not asking for any commendation, and so who gets forgotten, passed by time and time again, with nobody really paying much notice. 3 years, 3 months, 13 days. It would seem, I must fall among that group as well, who have taken for granted for so, so long what Malisane has done, how much he has done, despite how little he has had in return in that period. How does one sum up three years of work in a few paragraphs? How does one even begin to remember all that has happened in three years? We've had a Rite of Supremacy. A Great Jedi War. A House Feud... and that's only going back the last eighteen months.

One thing I can categorically say about Malisane is how he, in a certain way, reminds me of myself. He doesn't need a position. He just does things. He may not have always worked in a formal capacity, but that arguably says even more about him: he doesn't need a flashy title to get on with "the job". He enjoys what he does, so he comes up with run-ons and activities that he knows others can enjoy. Speaking from experience, I can say how much his influence has changed me during the past couple of years. Once upon a time, I wrote a lot more about my own character. These days? These days I've taken after Malisane, writing much more about the "other characters", those which actually interact with the younger members, those that aren't all about my own character but which are about finding ways to let new writers take stories in their own direction. Malisane's is always the nagging voice in the back of my mind, reminding me not to script stories in advance, but to leave things open, more free form, and only offer a very light guiding hand instead of the way things were historically done. Of late, it has been very satisfying NOT being the person in the driving seat for a change: because those people have become Malisane and Sai (and, latterly, Fremoc as well). Where it's Deliverance, the Voice of Justice, Ven Dastari, the Organisation, Councillor Zero... recently, Malisane has been the source of most of the major storyline(s) that have run through much of this year. People so often wrongly conclude these days "Goat's doing it", when in reality I'm nothing but the member taking part now. The stories themselves have become the realm of the Malisanes, Sais and Fremocs.

However, none of this says Malisane is averse to taking up the responsibility either, as his return as Rollmaster shows. Right now, so soon after reforming back into Independent Houses, it would be such an easy time for veterans (and, scanning his profile, I see I can genuinely use that word for him now) like Malisane to be giving up, moving on, and no longer caring. He's been Aedile. He's been Quaestor. No more Proconsul or Consul? What's the point anymore? But no. That's not how he reacts. No. Instead, he steps up to the plate, takes on the task of helping out Macron and Sai during a period when they were most certainly need him most. Bringing with him his past credentials as the Clan's Envoy, his passion not only for fiction and the Black Guard and helping new members above old, his continued drive is something that many in his place would by now have burned out of. 3 years, 3 months, 13 days. That number just keeps coming back to me. I can look down the roster, see so many Equites that have either been bumped off to the Rogues, or else just sit there, clogging up the roster. But not with Malisane. He continues to be active.

In this new dawn of Independent Houses, where so much of the unnecessary bureaucracy has been swept away, Malisane represents the sort of member I hope more will now aspire to be. Not ones looking to work their way up an inflated ladder of unnecessary positions, but ones that will realise that they can help out, lend a hand, contribute, without always needing to be the guy whose name is on the roster.

Xanos Zorrixor Darth Vexatus

Malisane Sadow has always shown great uniqueness in his work, always putting Naga Sadow ahead of his own personal achievements. He is always willing to step up when his leadership skills are needed such as his time as Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh. His creativeness is unmatched as Malisane has single handedly created most of the surroundings of Naga Sadow as well as had a large part in numerous Sadow storylines. Combine his individual accomplishments and his leadership experience. - SWL Kharon Daragon

Malisane Sadow is one of the core contributors to much of our fictional existance as Naga Sadow. His work in developing places like Kangaras, Markosian, Marakith, and many others is untiring. His fictional runon planning and development is nothing short of outstanding, as evidenced by the current "Unrest in the Coty" runon and several before that. Malisane has served very well as Rollmaster (CNS and HNS), Aedile, Quaestor, Envoy KAB and to the DJB as Left Hand of Justice. His work is thorough, thoughtful, and has enhanced our Naga Sadow group and the club at large. His help as Rollmaster has been a great asset to our group especially since the Clan to House switch. Malisane is a natural envoy of sorts and makes sure our new blood is well taken care of as well as administering the Master Student program. Naga Sadow has seen quite a few promotions happen under his guidance. For his long-standing, tireless and unceasing efforts on behalf of Naga Sadow and our club, I'd like to reccomend this Sapphire Blade. ~SWL Macron Goura Sadow, HNS QUA
