10 months, 5 days. In that length of time, Methyas has proven that Naga Sadow wasn't just a place to hang out and help out. In a time when Sai said the important thing to keep in mind as we performed our duties was "Ownership", Methyas has proven that this attitude not only works, but can be infectious.

I don't know that I could pick a better person to represent the kind of attitude, work ethic, and dedication that leadership in this organization should strive towards. Methyas handles more tasks than he lets on, showing the people he leads no sweat, no concern, just a stalwart, headstrong approach. In private, he proves a leader's wisdom by asking questions of his peers, patiently waiting for the answers, and then applying (what I've always found to be) his excellent judgment.

There's a lot he does that you see, notice that something's been done, and appreciate, but might never, ever know it was his fault. The wiki comes to mind here, and he's been on top of it for as long as I can remember. I've actually had to ask him to slow down a bit, leave room for some Journeymen to help out and get their summit tasks out of the way, and in true Methyas fashion, he did exactly that, because he knows what it means to make a successful Clan.

On a personal note, because this is for a person, and not a position, Methyas has probably been one of the more friendly, open, and available members of Naga Sadow. I remember when I first joined. He was a DJK, and one of a couple of people instrumental in getting me involved, and keeping me involved. Frankly speaking, I wouldn't be where I am today without Methyas being around, just being available.

In speaking of his participation, he's an avid gamer, an incredible writer, and a well seasoned leader. In simple, he's an example of the perfect Dark Jedi Brotherhood member, and deserves to be rewarded for it, especially considering that he never really considers himself in his work. That leaves it up to his peers to do it, something I'm proud to do by writing this.

Therefore, I do hereby, and officially, cast my name forward in support of Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart receiving promotion to the rank of Obelisk Prelate. Brother, you deserve it.

-Mirado Pepoi L'eonheart Quaestor of Shar Dakhan

I would like to personally recommend Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart for a promotion. Having him as a Master, I can say first hand that he is always able and willing to help whenever I, or anyone else, needs it. Whenever a question is asked by myself as well as anyone, especially in IRC, he is almost always among the first with the answer, or is willing to find the answer. He's always available and communicates very well and in a timely manner. Not only that, but he is very active in the DJB from what I have seen, and is always trying to push us farther and harder to make ourselves better. He is always working hard and never complains, and for all of the reasons, as well as many others, I believe a promotion for him would be well deserved. I am now, and always will be proud to call myself Methyas' Apprentice.

Methyas has been one of the voice of reasons in the Naga Sadow summit. Since his last promotion, 9 months ago, he was the Battleteam leader of Marka Ragnos, Aedile of Naga Sadow, and now he is the Proconsul of Naga Sadow. He has spent over 3 months as Aedile of House Marka Ragnos, and more than 3 months of time as Aedile of Naga Sadow. Award wise, he's earned 3 Seal's of Bone, 3 Seals of Return, a Dark Cross, an Anteian Cross, and a Grand Cross of the Darkside, several crescents, and a Silver Nova. Along with this, he's been constantly on IRC, making sure that he is around for the younger members who have questions. He works hard to keep the members active, as seen by his promotion of his own competitions as well as those that the members run. He's also taken on the role as being the Clan historian because he is constantly on the wiki working on updating Naga Sadow's history, as well as making the events that Naga Sadow is a part of, that there is a full on description as to what has happened. He's currently working on an event with Ashura dubbed Fractured Mirror 2, which takes out of the normal DB realm and puts them years in the past when the Sadow Empire was still an entity of sorts. He's also been a help with the Naga Sadow and Taldryan Alliance and was a driving force with the Clan Proposal. Without further ado, I hereby request Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart to be elevated to the rank of Obelisk Prelate. Congrats cousin!

Meythas has been a friend as well as an advisor of sorts since taking on the position of Aedile back in January when we were still a house, even before then he was a great help listening to ideas I had and giving me advice during my time as Rollmaster. Since his promotion to Templar Meythas has earned many crescents, clusters, and seals in the vendettas that were held during these time periods, he's also earned several Dark Crosses and a Grand Cross. These medals show only a portion of what Meythas has done while AED/PCON for IH/CNS he has worked full force on the wiki keeping the clans pages updated, while the wiki was recovering he assisted in that as well. He's been helpful in assisting myself and Mirado at setting up our houses. He has shown true dedication to the Clan, in the way he helps out in many projects and takes on more and more upon his shoulders. Meythas deserves recognition for the work that he has done and continues to do, Congrats Meythas.

Prelate Teu Pepoi HMR QUA

In the space of less than two years, Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart, or Severus L'eonheart as he was known when he first graced the walls of Sadow Palace, has gone from strength to strength. Having risen up the ranks quickly, Methyas took on the immense responsibility of Aedile of House Naga Sadow back in January.

Working closely alongside Sai and the rest of the Summit, Methyas has helped realise many of the changes across Naga Sadow during 2011. For example, back at the beginning of the year, he worked closely with Naga Sadow's partners in Arcona and Taldryan to help ensure the Tri-Feud between the three Houses was the fantastic success it was. Since then, he's helped forge the new alliance between House Taldryan and Clan Naga Sadow, including work on all the fictional and practical aspects that entails.

In terms of the fictional development of the Clan, Methyas has also helped revise and greatly simplify many of the long convoluted sections of the Wiki which (quite literally) for years have been in great need of an update or two. He has also helped with repairing many of the Clans pages since the loss of the Wiki server last month, and with how important the Wiki is today for the fictional side of the Brotherhood, his contributions have been a great boon to the Clan that shall hopefully continue to help members in the months and years to come. Methyas's work does not, however, simply end at the writers' desk. In addition to his skill with a pen, he is also a regular presence on the battlefield, regularly earning Clusters of Fire and showing to the rest of Naga Sadow that a Clan is most successful when its members take part in as many of the activities on offer as they can and it is the work of members like Methyas that has helped rekindle the flame of the Clan's gaming side.

Methyas may only have been here for two years, but his contributions to Clan Naga Sadow have made him into a valued member of the community and in particular a brother to his friends in the Pepois. In the space of twenty months, he has achieved more than many members do in twice that - if at all. For this, I can warmly commend this recommendation with the others, and look forward to the work Methyas will hopefully continue to provide as a leader of the Clan for a long time to come. Congratulations, Methyas, you've earned it!

• The Prophet, Lord Xanos Zorrixor, Son of Sadow

As a Son of Sadow, I like to keep an eye out on the progress and actions of new leaders and try to give a helping hand where needed. One of the things I find most astounding about Methyas is that very rarely do I feel the urge to give some form of advice. He has a strong head on his shoulders and as a leader, his abilities seem to come naturally. He is swift to deal with issues in the clan and is very easy to talk to. For an up and coming Proconsul, he has demonstrated amazing skill in maintaining/improving Naga Sadow, as well as being approachable to members of all types. I would honestly not be surprised if, through hard work and determination, Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart joins us on the Dark Council and becomes a prominent member of the Brotherhood. In an effort to prove this, I would like to give him my recommendation for Obelisk Prelate. Congratulations on your new rank and custom saber!
