Epis Locke Sonjie remains one of the foundational pillars of Clan Naga Sadow. Over the course of his career, he has repeatedly stepped into leadership roles without hesitation, embracing the responsibility and pressure that come with them. During this reporting period alone, he participated in 30 competitions, continuing to contribute meaningfully to Clan activity. He has also earned one Bronze Nova, eleven Crescents, two hundred nine Clusters and a Seal of Loyalty. Clear evidence that his steady involvement continues to produce tangible results for the Clan.
Beyond raw activity, Locke’s value to CNS is amplified by the depth of his expertise. A former Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos, he remains one of the Summit’s trusted “Fleet Advisory Chairs,” where his extensive knowledge of starships consistently helps guide CNS toward the platforms that best support our operational needs. His insight has repeatedly proven both practical and forward-thinking, making him an indispensable resource whenever fleet planning or ship design discussions arise. And yes, while I say this somewhat in jest, he remains a true “Hero of the Storm”; his skill and enthusiasm for Heroes of the Storm are well known, even if some of us can only watch in frustration.
Even outside formal leadership, Locke’s voice carries well-earned weight throughout the Clan. He is one of our Sons of Sadow whose counsel is regularly sought by the Summit and membership alike. His willingness to answer questions, share institutional knowledge and help newer members navigate both CNS and the broader Brotherhood reflects a quiet but enduring dedication to the Clan’s health. Simply put, Epis Locke Sonjie continues to lead by example and his sustained contributions during this period merit clear recognition. Congratulations Sir!

Locke has been busy lately. His counsel often comes at things sideways, the logic sound and needed. His participation helps to encourage others to do more, dragging some out of their comfort zone to try other things. He even convinced an old dog like me to try some of his favored games. His behind the scenes discussions on things with regard to fleet structure and composition sometimes go well over my head, but I am grateful to have such subject matter experts within the clan to rely upon. As I mentioned, Locke has been more busy in real life as of late, and as a result his absence has been sorely missed. I feel that we are well overdue with awarding the man his due and proper, and I am grateful for the opportunity to thank him for his efforts. Thank you for all you have done, Locke. Please accept this as a token of our gratitude and esteem.

Malisane Sadow has continued to demonstrate a level of commitment and consistency that reflects exceptionally well on both House Shar Dakhan and Clan Naga Sadow. Since his last recognition, he has participated in an impressive 132 competitions while furthering his education through the Shadow Academy, reinforcing both his activity and his personal development within the Brotherhood. His efforts have yielded tangible results, including the earning of one Silver Nova, eleven Crescents, one hundred twenty-six Clusters and a Seal of Loyalty, alongside six Society rank advancements. These accomplishments speak not only to his productivity but to a sustained drive to improve and contribute wherever possible.
As the former Quaestor of Shar Dakhan, Malisane’s leadership impact has extended well beyond his formal tenure. During the transition of command, he remained in place to ensure the incoming Quaestor had a firm grasp on the many moving parts involved in running a House. That level of dedication is rare and reflects a genuine investment in the long-term health of HSD. He further supported the House by assisting the new Quaestor in expanding Shar Dakhan’s homeworld lore, helping create a richer fictional environment and a broader creative playground for members to engage with.
Even outside of a formal leadership role, Malisane continues to be a trusted and sought-after voice for counsel and guidance. His steady encouragement during major Clan events particularly the Parabellum cycles and Pro Bowls helped drive participation across the Clan. His actions contributed to CNS earning credit bonuses during Seasons two and three. His influence, reliability and quiet leadership by example make him a valuable asset to the Clan and his record during this period clearly merits recognition. Summit is honored to be able to award him with this Sapphire Blade! Congratulations Malisane!

Malisane is one of those adults that can be relied upon for a level head, a calm demeanor and a measure of good advice. The problem with that is that he’s not flashy and does not draw attention to himself, which makes it easy to overlook him for much deserved awards. He is a solid and evergreen member of the clan, and his character is quite iconic in role-plays, drawing people in to do more, to engage with him and his characters. This sort of ‘weaponized socialization’ is something that DarkHawk and I have discussed as a way to the future in the club, where our activities come to meet people where they are rather than expecting members to come to them. And in so doing, the depth of friendships, relationships between members are made, and keeps us all coming back for more. He’s already earned this award, but I am glad to be able to put these words down for him on the recommendation for it, to share my thanks for his continued work for the Clan. Thank you.

Warlord Hades continues to stand as one of Clan Naga Sadow’s most reliable and active contributors. Among our long-standing “Machine Gun Therapists,” Hades is firmly entrenched within the Clan’s core group of dedicated gamers. During this reporting period he participated in an impressive 97 competitions and even took the initiative to organize two competitions for the Clan. His activity translated into significant results, earning him forty-one Crescents, a staggering 2,975 Clusters and a Seal of Loyalty. These numbers alone reflect a member who is not only present but consistently driving participation and engagement across the Clan.
Gaming, however, is only one facet of what Hades brings to CNS. He has continued to further his knowledge through the Shadow Academy while remaining active on Discord, regularly interacting with members and offering assistance wherever it is needed. Whether helping members with their Club needs or simply being available to answer questions, Hades is one of those individuals who seems able to do it all. His loyalty and steady dedication have made him a trusted presence within the Clan, and it is no surprise that members often look to him for guidance and support.
Hades also serves as another one of the Summit’s trusted “Fleet Advisory Seats.” His extensive knowledge of ships and naval tactics has proven invaluable as the Summit works to streamline and strengthen the Clan’s fleet into a true tour-de-force. When it comes to building a capable and effective naval force, Hades sits firmly on the short list of subject matter experts whose input is sought and respected. In recognition of his continued loyalty, expertise and service to the Clan and based on his total medal experience of 5,125 XP. Warlord Hades has clearly earned the honor of being awarded the Sapphire Blade

Fellow connoisseur of machine gun therapy, aircraft fanatic, harbinger of massive explosions, and unrepentant fan of most things nerdy, Hades has been an everpresent feature of our Clan Gaming hangouts and RPs for several years now. Helpful to those who are new or just need a little push in the right direction, Hades has and willingly shares a wealth of information on the complex brotherhood systems and history. I’ll not belabor the point too much, considering he typically doesn’t like a big fuss made over his accomplishments, but suffice to say that I view him as an integral part of Clan Naga Sadow’s present experience and a friend to almost any who show up in clan channels or chat. I’m quite pleased to add my words of gratitude, congratulations, and encouragement to this award recommendation for him. Please accept this small token of our esteem for you, with our thanks.
