Muz Keibatsu Sadow is with out a doubt one of the most impressive members in Dark Brotherhood history. His dedication and service to the Dark Brotherhood goes above and beyond the standard and he continually impresses all those who work with and and all of those who benefit from his work. If you take quick stock of Muz's resume you will find the following. - Lightsabers. Check. Robes. Check. Warbanners. Check. Graphics for Websites. Check. Custom Variations of all of those previously mentioned. Check.- Muz is one of those individuals who has the ability to impact the Dark Brotherhood immediately with his work and his work never fails to impress. Muz, for your hard work, your dedication, and your service to the Dark Brotherhood, I award you the Diamond Sword. You have certainly earned it. -----Grand Master Sarin<br> <br> Without a doubt, Muz Keibatsu Sadow is one of the finest Brotherhood members to have graced our presence. I am confident that Muz deserves to join the fine line of members who hold a Diamond Sword.<br> <br> Muz has been one of the most energetic, fast-paced and<br> project-oriented Heralds I have ever seen. His work is remarkable and his innovation has no match. His office has not only continued to serve in creating the customary warbanners for members, but it has expanded to a more particular custom lightsaber and robe system. The<br> lightsabers that Muz has created: I lost count after a few hundred. He has allowed for the Brotherhood members to have unprecedented flexibility in choosing a style to match their character. The same goes for the robes: Muz has created so many that it is easy for members now to customize the look of their persona. On top of it all,<br> Muz creates so many custom lightsabers and robes; the Equites and Elders are truly blessed to have that option. This was not possible but a year ago: Muz has really changed the face of the Brotherhood.<br> <br> The most impressive thing about Muz is his desire to do more. He has worked on the different lightsaber and combat guides, worked on the medals, designed new images for the website and helped the clans with<br> various graphic projects. He has also taken it upon himself to continue the planning and coordination of the Rebirth possessions system. The work that he has done there is stellar and the Brotherhood members will be amazed upon its launch.<br> <br> Muz is a pleasure to work with. I enjoyed my time serving with him on the Dark Council. I know he will continue to do well, but let us now recognize his efforts and the hundreds of hours he has put into this club. Muz Keibatsu deserves a Diamond Sword.---- Lord Jac Cotelin<br> <br> Muz is one of the pillars of our organization today. The fantastic things he does with all our cool sabers, robes, things like the lightsaber guide and upcoming (secret project that he will kill me for mentioning) are incredible. This takes many hours, I am sure he has spent over a thousand on these works to date. He is always there for me to ask questions, or clarify anything I need elaborated.<br> <br> I have the fortunate privilege of being able to write with him on occasion, and sometimes to gather data in his search for lightsaber lore or other Dark Side errata. I can tell you, he is always professional and considerate of the members, while not being afraid to speak up when the time is right. He is a great role model for our members.<br> <br> In short, I see him as being a formative influence on the modern status of the Brotherhood at large. Our club is enhanced by his efforts and presence, and for this he deserves recognition.---- SBL Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu-Goura <br> <br> We've all seen what Muz has done. The new lightsabers and robes are a great addition to the Brotherhood and I know Muz has been the major force behind the expanding options. In working with Muz, I've found someone that I can get along and work well with, and this helps the Dark Council function better. Muz is great for bouncing ideas off of, and he's someone I've enjoyed working with whenever the opportunity has arisen. Since he is the Herald and I'm the Headmaster, our respective jobs don't cross that much. But, we are both working towards the same goal: the betterment of the Brotherhood. And I see in Muz a dedicated, talented person working towards that goal, not always in trying to make things run better or more efficiently (though he does that), but in making the Brotherhood much more awesome.~DJM Anshar Kahn Tarentae <br> <br> Since I first joined the Brotherhood, Muz has been a constant help with many of the aspects of the Brotherhood. There has been a few times where I have come to him for guidance and have found his advice to be extremely helpful. Granted, he creates the graphics for the site but his leadership skills have been a major help to me when it comes to the decisions I have needed help making. This award is a major achievement and I believe he deserves it fully. Congratulation, Muz! Spare us in the ACC! :-P---SW Shikyo "Rurouni" Keibatsu<br> <br> Muz Keibatsu Sadow celebrated his one year in the Herald office in January by making a new sabre available to all Dark Jedi Knights and above. One which I myself now carry. No one knows better then I how many hours he spends on making sabers, robes, custom work and and all the special projects that make the Dark Jedi Brotherhood great. He has worked tirelessly to make graphics for just about everything the Brotherhood needs, holding the Herald office to a new standard.<br> <br> Muz has also taken time to assist with various things in Clan Naga Sadow. Writing epic stories for runon's, serving as a judge during the last House feud, and even sitting on the Conclave each month. He still cares about and makes himself available to his Clan in any every way possible.<br> <br> His insight is invaluable, always offering up an unbiased opinion to all who seek it and putting the betterment of the Brotherhood before all else.<br> <br> Muz has gone above and beyond the standard of excellence in his job duties as Herald and more then deserves the recognition for it. I am honored and privileged to give my recommendation for this award.----KP Ashia Kagan Keibatsu <br> <br> What is the mark of one’s achievement in the things he has turned his hands to? Is it a single epic work such as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Guide? Might it be the creation of unprecedented customization of one’s character dossier? Perhaps it is found in the innovation of a tool that allows members to pick and choose saber hilts, accents, and blade colors with ease? Could it not also be leadership demonstrated to one’s Battleteam, House, Clan, and Club counted not in months, but years? <br> <br> If one really desires the answers to these questions, he need only ask Muz Keibatsu Sadow.<br> <br> When I look at Muz’s dossier, I see there but a hint of what he has done for this club. At once I am awed by his devotion and shamed by it. I wish to emulate it. The competitor in me wants to surpass it. The man in me simply admires it. The leader in me seeks to reward it. The student in me wants to learn from it.<br> <br> What is the mark of one’s achievement in the things he has turned his hands to? Look around you and see it for yourself.----Raken, Left Hand of Justice – Praetor to the Grand Master<br> <br> This will probably be repeated by a number of others, but the amount of work Muz does for this club is ind-boggling. Even though he's re-done all of the robe and lightsaber stuff, he continually works at adding more and more for the members, far beyond anything we ever had.<br> We have choice because of him. This does not exclude the custom work he does for members, as well as the warbanners he still has a hand in. However, his real work now comes from projects we haven't seen. Any<br> graphical work that is needed for this club goes through him. We need things designed for future competitions? Muz does them. New medal images are needed? Go to Muz.<br> <br> He isn't just a "graphics" guy, but is also an accomplished writer in his own right and continues to help out other areas of the DB in varying degrees. The sheer amount of work however can never be overstated. While people may say this or that about how things look<br> and complain about not getting this or that, there is only a handful of people who have put in the same amount of hard work and dedication into this club. Try going out into the real world and see how much this work would cost you should you hire someone. Then remember that<br> this is all done for free during his off-hours. This award is a very rare honour, but it is rare to find someone of his calibre. Well done, Muz!----DJM Halcyon Rokir<br> <br> Muz is, well, Muz is what I think a lot of members in this club look upto, and 'aspire' to become. Muz kicks ass in anything he does, be it leading a Battleteam, House or serving as Proconsul, all the way to Herald of the Brotherhood. Muz just has that way with people, he's a<br> natural leader, and just blows everyone else out of the water.<br> <br> Since becoming Herald, Muz has totally re-invented the way Warbanners, Sabres, and Robes work in the Brotherhood. I distinctly remember rather ugly robes we had not too long ago, gray and green. I guess in hindsight, they weren't even that bad, it's just Muz's robes are so far superior. The sabres we have now don't even<br> begin to compete with what I first had when I was Knight'ed. And the Warbanners, they are just awesome.<br> <br> As Muz completes his first year as Herald, I think it's high time he be recognized for the substantial ammount of work he's done for this Brotherhood. So Muz, congratz on this, and I hope you continue to serve us for a long, long time! ----SBM Derev Niroth<br> <br> I was chatting with one of our Jedi Hunters a few days ago about who is working for DJK, telling him about when I was JH and remembering the horrendous looking plasticy green and grey robes I used to have<br> that were one of my big motivators for getting Knighted to get rid of the things, which were then replaced with black plasticy looking robes.<br> <br> A year and a bit on, you can see how much work has come out of the Heralds office, they've improved massively, as have the warbanners and<br> the lightsabers. For some people these things don't matter, they just really care about gaming or chatting, but to the rest of us who've gone through dozens of robe and lightsaber changes as new designs have come out, it genuinely adds quality and a bit of fun to a members<br> dossier. From the original sketches posted in his reports, Muz and his staff have produced a vast array of new robes and sabers for people to choose from, all vastly different styles to suit members tastes, as well as the training sabers for journeymen. I can't draw to save my<br> life, but I can still try and get an idea of how much work and imagination has gone into improving this area of the Brotherhood.<br> <br> For all the work he's done since becoming Herald offering fun and impressive looking stuff for members to choose to put on their dossiers, for the training saber concept and artwork, and for the site layouts produced, Muz definitely deserves the recognition.----Malisane de Ath<br> <br> Muz, that one name out of all the thousands entered into the rolls of our hallowed tradition is synonymous with greatness. Since his ascension to the post of Herald we have seen a myriad of works issue forth from his office, but it is not the quantity of his deeds that astounds us most, it is the quality. No matter the project it is completed with the same levels of professionalism and excellence that we have come to expect from the Office of the Herald.<br> <br> <br> <br> But it is not for these reasons alone that we honor the man. We honor him because he is truly great in thought, in word, and in deed he places his battle-brothers before himself. He is gracious in defeat (has he ever been defeated?) and humble in victory. Fatherly to the newest among us and a brother to those that have served beside him. For all of these reasons do we honor the man Muzashi Daraku Keibatsu-Sadow.<br> <br> Krath Epis Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu<br><br> Muz has been one awesome Herald if I do say so myself. Over the past year now he's done more than I personally have seen from any Herald. He's made a wonderful and comprehensive robe system for the Brotherhood. On top of that he has custom robes for many, with new additions regularly. He's made an even better lightsaber system with all kinds of marvelous designs, plus many, many custom jobs for people. We've seen redone medals, work for the Great Jedi War, and much more from Muz over the past year. It's been a long time since he's seen a major award, about time for another. Congratulations Muz, well done!-- Duga Taldrya Arkarso
