I set out to understand more of what Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar has accomplished when his name was pitched as a possible Elder. Being around this long you get a sense of what everyone is up to but you can start to ask questions and look closer and in this case, it became clear his impact on the entire DJB, and that Sang was ready to join the ranks of Elders.

I started by digging into his five sacramental medals he has earned, for great leadership as a Consul in Arcona, great leadership in Clan Naga Sadow helping to produce multi-Clan level events, as well as work as a mentor to train new members to Knighthood, and years of stray work supporting the Shadow Academy in reviewing and grading the work there.

Sang has left a mark on multiple Clans, as well as hundreds of members through his support of the Shadow Academy, and has remained an active force within the Brotherhood for years.

Congratulations on reaching the ranks of Elders Sang, you have definitely earned it.

Sang is a legend in this club. Few, if any, members have served as successfully at every level of clan leadership and remained actively engaged in the wider DB on various DC staffs over so many years as Sang has. His Shadow Academy service, in particular, deserves special recognition. He was a prolific professor when I was Headmaster over six years ago and he hasn’t slowed down since then. In fact, he has now graded more exams than any member in the history of the club by a wide margin -- more than twice as many as the next person in line.

His Emerald Dagger recommendation sums Sang up well: he is a tireless creator and participator. He does his work without seeking reward. He does it because he enjoys doing it and wants to make this club a better place for all members. There is no doubt that Sang has earned admission to the ranks of the Elders. Congratulations, Sang!

If I am to be frank, writing a recommendation in support of this promotion is a bit of a hard task. That is not because of a lack of ways or reasons to pray our former Consul. Rather now, it is because I find it difficult to capture the full breadth and impact of Sang on Clan Naga Sadow and the greater Brotherhood. So much of it just seems to be "Sang being Sang." Despite his occasional grumbling, Sang is a man of heart. I know some folks may act as though being "all heart" is bad but Sang truly demonstrates a heart for people and community.

When he lead our Clan he did so out of a sense of duty, and he wanted the best for the Clan. When it seemed as though a direction our Clan was going in did not quite vibe with our members, Sang examined how we could adjust our course. When he was a Quaestor he enabled his House to be the best that they could be- such as helping to train up new leaders, playing an intimate part in their personal growth as leaders within our club. As a Proconsul, he worked with the Consul and Summit to ensure we best served our members. Again and again he acted as a friend and mentor to a young Journeyman Bentre and even today he continues to give me sound advice and feedback if I ask it, or as I seem to need it.

When morale was low, Sang tries to find a way for us to march forward and work with the members to resolve the standing issues. When engagement was low in the past and he and I were a CON/PCON team, at his direction we worked to try to piece out how to recapture our spark and to drive home a better member experience.

Be it as Summit or member, he continually engaged in ways either large or small with our clanfolk. We are richer for his presence in Clan Naga Sadow.

In the past Sanguinius has acted as a counselor to keep the peace and enabled House leadership to make a greater impact on our Clan's narrative from their own corners. Well-liked even today, Sang has constantly shown an interest in the greater good of the Clan. Sang has also served as a sounding board to my Proconsul as well and has helped to refine some ideas for future story developments. A pretty positive element in our Clan, Sang has also pushed gaming in our Clan, offering to play Heroes of the Storm with folks in the club at large and furthering feelings of camaraderie through a combination of group activity and friendly repartee with members in Telegram chats and in Discord. Sang is also unafraid to challenge the status quo or the assumptions of members of the Clan, offering valuable insight which has helped to further refine elements of our Clan narrative and direction.

All this said, I want to raise my voice in support of Sang, as my clan-brother, as my fellow Sadow and as a friend to both me and all Sadowans.

Congratulations my friend! Well done.

Sanguinius is one of the most recognisable members of our Clan, both in terms of activity and as someone who steps up and works hard with others. Sadly I missed his term as Consul of our Clan due to being rogue but since I came back I've come to respect him as one of the most active and hard working members I've met in the Brotherhood.

His ongoing level of activity in competitions and gaming and marking endless Shadow Academy exams is extremily visible and has been mentioned many, many times in this and previous recommendations for his amazing sacramental medal collection, and I do need to go into futher details about it here.

However from a personal perspective when I needed an Aedile to help me as Quaestor in Shar Dakhan he made himself available. Since then I've had the pleasure to work with him. He has always struck me as a pleasant, calm and helpful individual who gives support, feedback and advice when needed and is greatly supportive of his fellow members. For example he is frequently seen encouraging others to take up gaming and activity and is a driving force behind how much stronger our Clan is in this area than I ever remember it to be.

For all his endless activity, hard work and support of others I do not think there is any doubt he deserves the rank of Elder.
