<<BOW>>

Goodday Sadowans, Summit wanted to get out an update for the Clan as we close out yet another summer. We roll into fall with a lot of opportunities ahead and a chance or two to add a few fat stacks of credits to your accounts and some shineys to your trophy rooms. We will get into all of that here shortly. First, there are a few things to announce before we get to all the fun of things.

First and foremost, Summit would like to announce that we have a new member to welcome and get them comfortable and familiar with everything Naga Sadow. So Sadowans, raise your glass and open your arms to welcome Creon Neverse to the Clan! Creon is sliding over to us from COU, so we thank you for seeing that CNS had an attraction to you. Should you need any assistance through your transition, please reach out to the PCon or myself.

Clan Dynamics

In order to facilitate a more rich and fun environment, the PCon and I are opening up our two Magistrate positions. I know a lot of us have sat in that seat more than once, and I know to those who may not have it can be intimidating. I can assure you that CNS’ future will be rich with history and lore. And we are in need of folks that want to contribute to solidifying that future. Now these positions are moderately low level backend/admin and high level of concentration on fun and activity. Here are the job requirements.

• 4-6 quarterly Clan competitions (organized or co-organized based on the comp type)

• Creation or update of 1-2 Wiki article(s) for the Clan per month

• Be active in Chat, Mail Groups and answering questions.

• Encourage and promote activity for both Clan and Club wide competitions

• Work alongside the Clan Summit to provide engaging fiction updates for the Clan

That is what we are looking for. Is that you? Should anyone be interested in either of those positions please contact our illustrious Proconsul [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or [Log in to view e-mail addresses] either by email or Discord direct message. Please include in your application a 30-60 day snapshot of your plan of attack and how you would like to go about implementing it. All applications shall be submitted on or before Sept 24 2025.

Now to expand on Clan dynamics for a moment. For some while now, Lord Keibatsu and I have been discussing a few things in regards to our direction and activity levels. Now, I am not one for metrics, graphs and all that jazz. That crap was force fed to us in the military with Death by Powerpoint. So I won’t subject you all to that ungodly torture and just tell you our activity levels are at the top of our priority list. So you will start seeing more CNS wide comps along with DJB wide comps. We also have the PCon’s Sadow Skirmishes and the Clan’s Blackguard comps. The Sadow Skirmish is a monthly gaming comp and the BG is based on total XP you earn in a month. So don’t sell yourselves short, earn that credit and earn that XP! Sadow Sundays is when we hit up some gaming, with Helldivers being a front runner right now. However, there are plenty of platforms at our disposal that we can bank those credits and XP with. So don’t feel like you cannot join in. Not to mention there are six other days in the week should Sundays not be conducive to your gaming needs!

CNS Current Comps:

• Sadow Monrhly Skirmish: August Gaming

• Know Thyself: Fiction

• Blackguard: August

Upcoming Comps:

• September Sadow Skirmish

• The Shadows of Choice

• Donkey Kong

With all this at your disposal, there is no reason to miss out on any of the ACTION!!!!

Now as far as our fictional direction goes, Lord Keibatsu and I have crosstalked this more than once together and with very little help from my shenanagenz of fiction ideas. The PCon has developed what I feel are solid avenues of intermingling story arcs that should bring a bunch of LFG comments across the board! If not then some of us just might need a enema and a system reboot.

Sadow Titles

A couple of moons ago, the Sons & Daughters of Sadow gathered to talk about the future of our prestigious title holders and how those titles should be earned moving forward. Right now, there are thirteen members on the roster who proudly carry those honors. In the past, title selections were decided by the Sadows convening, discussing, and voting on members who stood out through activity and dedication. But those days are now behind us.

After much discussion, we’ve proposed, voted, and approved a new, more balanced system. One designed to remove any old perceptions of bias or favoritism while giving every single member a clear, personal path toward earning their place among the title holders. From here on out, titles will be awarded to members who reach a major milestone: 2 million credits earned for the Clan.

Sound like a big number? Sure, it is but that’s the beauty of this new approach. The path is completely in your hands. No more wondering if you’re on anyone’s radar, no more guessing games. Your efforts, your goals, and your contributions directly shape your progress toward one of the most coveted honors in the Clan.

And don’t worry, the fictional ceremonies aren’t going anywhere. Those moments are too epic to lose, and we’ll continue celebrating new title holders with the same excitement and creative flair as always.

If you’re not currently a title holder and want to see where you stand, or if you’d like more details about the process, feel free to reach out to either the PCon or myself anytime. We’re here to help you chart your course toward earning your place among the Sadows.

Now, with all that and with the addition to having two new magistrates in the mix, there should be flavors for all of us to enjoy. Should there be something that does not spark your creativity, that is when WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. FEEDBACK! FEEDBACK! FEEDBACK! You have a fiction idea or a campaign idea then let’s hear it!

Blackguard

Blackguard is a long tradition within CNS. Blackguards title holders protect the Consul and Proconsul and the annual title holder gets to carry the Dark Sword of H’Kysch that Tasha Vel’Versea has been carrying around. So if you would like to have that beautiful weapon attached to your hip, then get to work racking up that XP!

Here are our Blackguard winners for July:

July	Aug
Professor Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar 1st Place	TBA 1st Place
Warlord Hades 2nd Place	TBA 2nd Place
Master Bentre Sadow 3rd Place	TBA 3rd Place
Sato Tarentae 4th	TBA 4th Place

Club News

If you have not noticed we have a couple of things Club wide that can elevate your prowess and expand your repertoire. Coming in September we will have Pro Bowl IX: Reliquary! This is a great way to meet other Club members, work in teams and earn yourselves some Club shiny’s. We will be needing two CNS captains for this years Probowl so if you are interested in leading your team to victory let me know so that I can pass it up to the Probowl committee.

With that being said, I want to turn your attention over to Season 1; Parabellum. So far it has been a lot of fun! The Clan had one of its best showings thus far with 41.94% participation rate! So from Lord Keibatsu and myself, which could not have been done without you Sadowans! The Dark Council has already graced us with Chapter 5 Parabellum fiction, so get over there, read a great story and bone up for the next phase of Seasons!

WIth all of that going on, there is no reason for us just to be idling sitting around wondering what to do. Dive in and get you some!
