Primary reason

With an illustrious career in the Dark Brotherhood already behind him, Muz continues to be a positive force within the club and even more so in Clan Naga Sadow. He has helped to serve the Clan as Quaestor in recent months, but even before that he has never really retired from supporting his fellows. Even before taking up the mantle of House leadership again, Muz has always been willing to offer wisdom and insight to any who earnestly ask it, and even bop me on the head occasionally as the situation required it.

Now I could easily carry on with a list of his achievements, but I feel that wouldn't serve to accurately describe his impact. Since August of last year, Muz has given a lot of advice to myself and others, even before he took over House Marka Ragnos as Quaestor back in September. I could go on to list the 7 competitions he organized, the other 7 he coorganized, the time he has spent gaming with others in the Clan/club or the energy he has put into 12 fiction activities and the work he has put into ROs. I could point out that despite his experience with the club (even besides his time as a seated Grand Master), he has continued to take part in the Shadow Academy, having passed another 13 courses since his last recognition. In the 45 competitions that Muz has taken part in, we have seen him rake in 14 Crescents- 2 Diamond, 4 Ruby, 3 Amethyst, 4 Sapphire and a lone Emerald- which is not at all unimpressive. I could detail the deeds that garnered him 71 Clusters of Earth, the stories which earned him 13 Clusters of Ice, or the artistic works that earned him 5 Clusters of Graphite. I could even make note of the singular Legion of the Scholar.

These things reflect little of the man, in my experience. Muz cares for this club, cares for its members, and cares for his Clan. Before writing this recommendation I took a curious look at Muz's feats since joining the Brotherhood, helps to bring home the simple truth of how much Muz cares. I can say it was daunting the first time that I spoke to a seemingly mystical former GM, but he has never been anything more than approachable. Muz has worked with myself in the same way that I know he works with his Aedile and his Battleteam Leader, his Consuls and Pronconsuls, lending both wisdom and insight in equal parts. In the midst of changes of Consul, Pronconsul, Rollmasters, Battleteam Leaders, Quaestors and Aediles Muz has been a comforting constant. He is always willing to play a sounding board, an advisor, a counselor and on occasion to help the rest of us to ascend to greater heights and hopes. For all his work, his dedication, and the energy he has invested, I wish to present Muz Ashen Keibatsu, former Grand Master and Lion of Tarthos, this Grand Cross as a small token of our gratitude for his work over the last nine months in particular.

Additional reasons

Muz is a sage and wise teacher. He is patient, understanding and kind. He's also a firebrand that smacks the crap out of me if I mess up in some way. My move to Consul has not been a smooth one, but I can reliably say that Muz has helped me immensely and I am extremely lucky to have a veteran leader like Muz in my camp. He has made me strive to be the best, he has made me always defend my actions and improved my courage to take risks and do what is best for the Clan.

Muz is a mentor to so many members within Naga Sadow. His time spent as Quaestor of Marka Ragnos has seen him help members not just in Marka Ragnos, but also Shar Dakhan.

Marka Ragnos has blossomed under Muz's leadership. The House was struggling when he took the reins. Struggling with activity, a direction and a general malaise. Muz has captured people's imaginations, enabled their ideas to grow and bloom and has run several Clan wide events that have seen fantastic activity. Muz has always maintained that he was only going to be Quaestor for a short while, but when he does get the chance to leave the driver's seat, I know that Marka Ragnos will be in the best position available.

I would be lost without Muz, he has long epitomised the Clan and what it means to sacrifice your time and effort for the Club as a leader. His dedication, hard work and continued support and mentor-ship to myself, my Summit and our members is inspiring, I can only hope that this token of my appreciation will go some way to allowing him to recognise that.

Thank you.
