Where do I start with Methyas? If you look at what he has recieved since his last promotion you will find a Dark Cross, two Anteian Crosses, a Sapphire Blade and last but not least, the Clan title, Son of Sadow. That alone should speak for his contributions to Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood as a whole. But if you look further you will see he has also earned a bunch of Seals, Crescents and a few Novae as well, including a Gold Nova for being on the winning team of the Avenger II run on competition in January.
When you look at how long Methyas has served on the summit of Naga Sadow you will see that he was Consul for five months, Aedile and then Proconsul of first House then Clan Naga Sadow for five months, and Aedile of Marka Ragnos for six months. And for over a year now he has been Rollmaster of Naga Sadow sticking around when everyone around him had to leave for different reasons, he has very much been the glue holding the Clan together during trying times and not once have I heard him complain. He has been a shining beacon in Naga Sadow, at times where other veterans of the Clan drifted away either to other units or into inactivity Methyas was always right here, active, holding the flag high and being the greatest possible example for new generations to follow. He is always there and willing to offer advice when I need it.
He is also my goto guy whenever I have questions or issues with the wiki and most recently he has taken it upon himself to re-write the Orian System page to make the system more realistic and make some of the lesser used planets more interesting to use in future fiction.
What more can I say? He should forever be remembered as one of Naga Sadow’s greatest members and I think he is more than worthy of this promotion to Krath Pontifex.

If you pick up a dictionary and flipped open to the page that contains the word dedicated you might very well find the picture of Methyas. He has shown dedication to Clan Naga Sadow that is unrivaled except by a selected few. He has stood through many numerous summit changes and still he doesn’t crumble. I’m pretty sure he asks for more but don’t quote me on that. He has been at his current rank for over a year and has been the Rollmaster for the Clan during that period. Recently he was awarded the title of Son of Sadow, something he has earned through his hard work and his dedication to others, where others have faltered and fell; he has continued to push on ahead. It has been a great honor to work with him again as a summit member, but it is an even better honor to call him a friend and my former apprentice. I believe that he is ready to hit that final tier of the Equite ranks. There is no way to say thank you completely to Methyas for all that he has done for the Clan, however this is a good start. Thank you Methyas and Congrats.

Methyas Sadow! The recent naming to a Son of Sadow shows how much Clan Naga Sadow owes him. And how much Clan Naga Sadow has grown due to his hard work as an Aedile and afterwards Rollmaster. He is constantly around and does a good job with handling the new people. For being more than about two years in the summit, I know it will be a sad day for Naga Sadow should he ever retire!
Methyas also gathered a lot of rewards:
-Clusters of Ice
-2 Crescents
-1 Dark Cross
-3 Bronze Nova
-1 Gold Nova
-2 Anteian Cross
-1 Sapphire Blade (wow! shiny!)
-8 Seals of Affliction
-Clusters of Fire
-5 Seals of Reminiscence
-and on top he changed to Krath (good decision!!)
Krath Pontifex Methyas Sadow, you have done an awesome job. You deserved this promotion! Thank you.

I love writing recommendations. I love having the opportunity to dig into a member’s activity and history, and getting to share it. It’s honestly fun for me, and this is probably the most fun recommendation I’ve ever had the chance to write.
My sister Methyas is, frankly, a badass. I really cannot stress this enough. He’s lived his DB career pretty well entirely on the Summit. He works frighteningly hard. He’s been/is a leader, a major player on the Wiki, a guide, and a man of great wisdom. He’s the guy I want to be in this club. I won’t sit and list his massive amount of accomplishments, there’s just too many. He’s held literally every position a clan has, BTL to Consul.
Actually, I think he might be a machine, or a really impressive bot. People shouldn’t work this hard, especially on their free time for no payment that can keep the lights and the heat on. Methyas does this though, like a juggernaut. People like him are the foundation of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and an inspiration to everyone they meet. He’s sat at EQ3 for about a year and a half, and he deserves Krath Pontifex, more so than many. Thank you for your consideration

Methyas is awesome to have around. He has always been great to have around. He has been an anchor for CNS as long as I can remember. When I was Consul, Methyas was always nearby. I really, personally appreciated having someone there who had not only done my job before me, but was still there and still active, and still reliable. Methyas has been consistently, reliably active over an incredibly long time, and on Summit pretty much that entire time. After I stepped down from Consul I went away for awhile, and when I got back, Methyas was still here. He was still there to answer questions, he was still there to help out. I'd be completely lost on the new character sheets if not for his help. Thanks Methyas.
And that's just me, myself, my personal experiences. As Rollmaster, Methyas is often the first member newbies hear from. There are few people I could think of who would be as good for the job, and none better. Recent 'Crosses reflect his dedication beyond that responsibility, showing that Methyas is as active as any member manages to be.
Patience, kindness, and consistency are words that define Methyas. If I knew him in real life, I'd have to poke him to see if he's a robot. This guy has ice in his veins. He never quits, either. I think Methyas is more than deserving of this promotion, and will continue to exemplify the characteristics that make him worthy of it! Congratulations, Methyas!

Clan Naga Sadow has been through some very tough times lately. We've seen an incredible turn-over of Summit positions, a lot of members coming and going and some internal troubles that have shaken many of our members-- myself included-- to the very core. However, the Clan has seen one constant, one man who has not left his post, who plays silent vigil for a period longer than I have been a member of the Clan. This man, Methyas L'eonheart, has been Clan Naga Sadow's Rollmaster for more than a year now. Despite Summit changes, despite many things, he has done so much for all of us. Quite possibly one of the friendliest people you could ever meet, Methyas is the kind of person you want on your side. Soft-spoken, not likely to throw a harsh word at you for a failure so much as he is to reassure and help you work on it for next time, Methyas is the quintessential Rollmaster - always just an email away if ever you need him. He kicked absolute ass during the crusade - the number of Novae he won is in the true tradition of Sadow. He participated in more events than I care to count. He really is the kind of man that this Clan deserves. In fact, he's better. So much better that I can't sing his praises well enough. Methyas is a great writer. That much is certain. He's got so many awards for writing that I don't think you could ever say otherwise. His talents, his knowledge, his leadership ability and his stability - all things that make him the rock upon this Clan is founded. He doesn't do things for glory. He doesn't need that. All he needs is a thank you every now and then, because everyone likes to be thanked, right? We all agree that this is the best possible thank you, for weathering a storm so difficult, for serving before and after, for being someone that I can look up to and respect for everything that he is.
For incredible and long-term service to this Clan and to the Brotherhood, for going above and beyond the call of duty that is ever required for what we could ever need, I am proud to recommend Methyas L'eonheart for the rank of Krath Pontifex. You've served a wonderful career in the Brotherhood and this is more than deserved. Congrats, Methyas. You're one of the best we've got. Thank you for being a part of this Clan.

Oh my, oh my. Methyas L’eonheart. Wait, make that Methyas Sadow. There is a name that I am sure every single member of Clan Naga Sadow - and I am sure many beyond it - are very familiar with. Throughout the entire time since his last promotion -- so a long time -- Methyas has been working diligently, whether on the front line and in the background, as a member of the Summit of Clan Naga Sadow in one capacity or another. Aedile? Rollmaster? Advisor and Consul Emeritus? Role model and example to others -- a role he has recently been praised for by his whole Clan in his recognition as a Son of Sadow? Check, check, check, double check.
From practically the moment he joined the Dark Brotherhood, Methyas has always been a hard worker, and this has never abandoned him. Where many in his position might have burned out or faded away into the shadows, Methyas has remained at the forefront, always wanting to do more, always giving back, always striving to improve the experience of other members -- and in specific, his passion for improving the lives of our club’s newest members, who as I am sure everyone would agree, are the true lifeblood that make up our future.
In this area, I feel one finds Methyas’s greatest contribution to the Dark Brotherhood. As it is not just in the work that everyone sees on the front page and that attracts all the attention, but in the work behind the scenes, the tireless hours given up by those like Methyas that keep the rest of the wheels turning. Methyas might not be the ship’s captain, but he is the engineer that has been keeping the engine running, and making sure the captain still has a ship to run, and I am sure we all agree that Captain Kirk would not be Captain Kirk without a Scotty. This is where Methyas has excelled, and this has been seen recently in the number of Journeymen who have now reached the cusp of their Trials and risen to Knighthood -- in no small part thanks to the consistent watch and attention that Methyas has provided these past few years, even when many other leaders and Summits have risen and fallen for one reason or another.
This devotion -- this consistent, unbroken commitment -- is what has made Methyas into one of those anchors that have become a cornerstone of the community. And that above anything else is what makes Methyas more than deserving of being recognised -- and, moreover, thanked -- for the energy he continues to devote to the Dark Brotherhood to keep it alive.
Congratulations Methyas, and never give up.
And more, thank you for everything you continue to do.
