I am honoured to be recommending Sanguinius for his first Sacramental Award. I had the privilege of serving as his Aedile, and his hard work and devotion to the Clan has been one of the highest I have seen during my time inside the House. During his time as Quaestor the amount of work that I have seen come from him has been outstanding. He was always driving to help members and keep the members happy with no thought to his own self gain or own rewards. Things like this are the true makings of the great leader in the Brotherhood.

During my time as Aedile under Sanguinius he always pushed me to achieve the very best of my abilities, though he would always support and help me improve on how I managed the day to day duties of Aedile while training me to be able to handle the duties of Quaestor should I ever rise to that occasion. He not only helped me develop as a leader, but as a member. This took many forms, anything from how to write recommendations, promotions and reports to generally talking with members on staying contact over IRC and Email. He also passed his experience and his knowledge to me and helping me develop into the Quaestor that I am to this date.

Since his tenure as Quaestor he developed the wiki page on SCEPTER creating a fictional company for the Galeres, Arcona’s Militant House. This has given us lots of different branches that the house can fictionally develop from and use in different environments; it gives us an identity to stand behind. As well as this he has seen the forming of two new Battleteam under his service as Quaestor. Bringing both Dark Forge and Spectre Cell to life, and then helping the Battle Team Leaders continue to get adjusted to their new positions.

Despite his day-to-day leadership duties, Sang still managed to always take time to proof the work of not just his House, but the entire Clan during the Dark Crusade events. This goes for new members struggling to start out, veterans like myself that still strugle, and even the veteran, novae winning writers as well. As usual, he put the needs of the Clan before his own. As well as pushing members to do the very best for the Dark Crusade, this has been an integral part of his role as Quaestor. Under his leadership, Galeres ramped up a high level of activity due to him taking the time to email and IRC with members and see any issues resolved and getting them working on the Dark Crusade.

Sanguinius is also helping out in the Shadow Academy Revamp project, helping edit and write a number of the exams in order to give members a better experience inside of the Brotherhood. He continues to strive to help members to this day even though he is no longer a Quaestor proving himself more than devoted to this Club and House through his time and service.

Sanguinius is is my true honour to be giving you this Sapphire Blade today. Congratulations and we thank you for all the hard work that you have done for this House and Clan. Keep it up.

Quaestor of House Galeres

Sanguinius has been an valued member of the Shadow Academy Staff for the last 3 years. In this time, his performance has been nothing short of exceptional. Exams are graded in a timely fashion and mistakes are clearly explained. All things considered, Sang is one of those members of the staff that we point out when explaining to new staff members what they should try to emulate. Congrats! P:Headmaster

One of the constants that I have had in the Brotherhood since my joining has been that of our fine friend Sang. This dude has been a solid part our community for ages.

Although he had stepped away from the role of Consul back in 2018, Sang has never been too far from Clan Naga Sadow. He has served as an Aedile twice over since that time. Particularly, he has served about six months as the Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. Beyond the metrics provided on the site and the primary recommendation provided by his Quaestor, Sang is also a friend to Clan Naga Sadow. Even when he was not in an official position, he was still willing to provide this Consul some advice and insight. Maybe part of that was because of his service term as Quaestor of the House so early in my career. Or maybe that just underlines the constant that he is.

Sanguinius' help has not stopped there since his retirement from heading the Clan. Whether it was from brainstorming, acting as a sounding board, or even stepping up to help the other House and becoming the Aedile of House Shar Dakhan. Since there, he has continued to act as a voice of even reason. As discussions carry on in our Summit chat, I can trust that Sang will give frank and honest feedback to whatever crazy, inane or ingeneous ideas might arise there.

Sang wants good things for our Clan. He reaches out to members to play games on the weekends. He wants our members to engage. He has supported competitions like the Inos Incursion and Tensions in the Orian Empire. Actually, looking back he even placed third overall in the Tensions competition! His support in events like the last Great Jedi War, our pre-war miniseries and our return to the Orian system was greatly appreciated as well.

When you take all these things into account with the contributions that Sanguinius has made to the greater Dark Brotherhood community I am quite excited that we will be able to recognize him with this award. Well done, Sang!

When I started as an Aedile, Sang was the Quaestor. He helped me learn the ropes of leadership and guided me as I got the hang of writing promotions, reports, and working alongside others. He taught me the importance of communication between Summit and members. He was always available to chat whenever I needed someone to talk to for assistance. Sang is a valuable member to the DJB with his experience and He makes an awesome fun HOTS buddy when it comes to gaming. He has stepped above and beyond his comfort zone to help get things done and I am honored to give my recommendation for this award. Congratulations Sang, you deserve it!

I am completely honored for the privilege of being able to say a few words about my Master, Augur Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar. I could site all the numbers of comps and tests graded Sanguinius has done, but my wonderful collogues above me have already sited those accolades. Sang's leadership and influence is something that should be highlighted.

Sang has taken the reigns of leadership at all levels multiple times. His influence whether in a command position or not, knows no bounds. Sang is a true pillar of Clan Naga Sadow, a wealth of knowledge that is astonishing on another level. His presence within the Clan is immense to say the least. Everyone knows and respects the Augur, that is monumental in my book! He has earned the Sadow namesake and emulates those qualities with natural ease.

There are just a few folks that can make you feel assured after speaking with them. Sang is among that elite group of folks. Quick witted and always forthright, the Augur's counsel is repeatedly sought after amongst the Clan at all levels. Solidifying the Augur's reach and influence throughout the Clan

As his pupil, it is hard not to be biased about the man. Not only is Sanguinius a herculean Professor, his knowledge of history and Star Wars lore strengthens both CNS and the Club. With the amount of members who take courses within Shadow Academy halls, have been positively influenced by him in one way or another.

It is with a great honor that I can express my support of this prestigious award to Augur Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar!! Congratulations Sir you have earned this!

Sang, the Shadow Academy's super professor! As noted in my 2020 Year in Review report, Sang is one of the SA's top graders in terms of both the amount of exams he grades and the speed at which he grades them. Since his last recognition, he's graded 408 courses within an average of seven hours. To put that in perspective, we ask our professors to grade within 24 hours, and our average as a whole in 2020 was just under 12.

It's also notable that this isn't just a spurt of activity for Sang, but something's he done consistently and at the same level of excellence for the club for years. Since he's joined, he's graded 2,344 exams (well over twice the number anyone else has since the site started tracking), with an average grading time of five hours.

In addition to grading, Sang is helpful in staff discussions and always eager to review course changes at audit time. I've spotted him many times congratulating and encouraging members who are taking courses. He's also very helpful to new members and will go out of his way to bring members who are doing well in the SA to the attention of myself and their unit summits to ensure they're properly recognized and awarded.

This guy definitely deserves a new stabby, and I'm glad to offer my recommendation! :)

Sanguinius is an awesome guy that is willing to help out where it is needed and tries to encourage others to participate. He has a lot of experience having been a former Consul and is also a good person to bounce ideas from when faced with trying to think of interesting competitions to set up. He is a good listener and even if it’s not DJB related, he will hear you out. I am more than happy to give my recommendation for his outstanding work and service to Naga Sadow. Congratulations Sang!

I'm honored to be writing this recommendation for Sang. He has been a great asset as an Aedile and confidant in helping me run House Marka Ragnos.

As Aedile, Sang has helped me with virtually everything, from discussing future activities, to planning updates to the House infrastructure and lore. This is exemplified in the running of our recent event, It Came From Kar Alabrak!. In this event, Sang personally put together and ran four of the 11 competitions, and we worked together to run two other ones. He and I also spent several hours discussing the story and what types of competitions to include for all of the competitions of the event, to make it as appealing as we could for our members. Finally, Sang proofread my fiction, vetted the competitions I created, and assisted in judging.

As a result of his efforts, we had nine CNS members participate in this event (not counting the two of us), who produced a total of 39 competition entries, and as far as we can tell they enjoyed it.

Sang has also helped me promote gaming activity in the club; we have done a lot of gaming in Heroes of the Storm and Mario Kart on the weekends, and his efforts are reflected in the 31 gaming activities, 253 Clusters of Fire, and 324 of Earth that he has received since his last recognition.

I'm happy to be adding my recommendation for this award. Congrats, Sang!

Sang is my busiest grader by a wide margin. Since his last recognition, he's taken care of 62 exams with average turnaround of only 4 hours. For comparison, the next fastest graders I have average 7 hours. In terms of raw efficiency, the man is such a machine that he's only beaten by dbb0t. That he maintains that level of performance while overseeing the Academy's largest and busiest human-graded department is impressive, to say the least.

I'm honored to be writing this recommendation for Sang. As my Aedile, he has been an invaluable asset and I'm really happy to have him around. He makes up for my weaknesses and helps me with things I'm not very good at. He's also great at planning and doesn't let me forget about things.

As Aedile, Sang has engaged with members a lot. While we haven't done a lot of reports, we both speak to our members on an individual basis a lot, and Sang has engaged members in a multitude of ways. For example, he encourages gaming by gaming almost every weekend on a DJB supported platform. Another example is, he volunteered to be a Probowl Captain this year (for the 2nd year in a row), and he made it fun and our team won. (because he made the brilliant decision to draft me, of course.)

CNS also had high participation percentages in Phase I and II of the recent GJW, with 75% in phase 1 and 79% in phase 2, and at least some of this can be attributed to Sang's actions behind the scenes. Sang helped me figure out what key activities to promote and what to include in my reporting, and he assisted in promoting the events to our clan. Then after the GJW he helped me plan the House awards sweep and understand the new system.

All in all, Sang does much more than he thinks, and I'm glad to have him as Aedile.

Congrats, Sang!

Quaestor, House Marka Ragnos

Sang has been more than just a leader. He's been a counselor, a trainer, and a sounding board for members to bounce ideas off of. He's almost always available on Discord to help new members and old alike, to offer a second set of eyes on anything that needs it, from proofreading to refinement. I've personally watched him take the time to encourage new members into roles of leadership, to engage them and help them seek out the activities that not only need doing, but that they will enjoy. Much is said about community being the driving factor behind people sticking with us, that the relationships we build together are crucial to the longevity of the club. And here in Naga Sadow, Sang is and has been a great influence and instrumental figure in that effort.

The Dark Brotherhood Covenant formerly established temporary membership to the Star Chamber in 2017. Temporary membership in the Star Chamber requires senior Dark Jedi Brotherhood members who have shown an inherent desire to improve and protect the Dark Brotherhood. Temporary members are required to show high levels of discretion on topics ranging from the approval of a Grand Master to approving major club changes.

The Dark Brotherhood has been blessed to have several members serve in this role and do so with distinction. The following actions took place under the temporary member’s terms:

1. The ratification of the Electorate’s Vote on two Grand Masters and three Justicars.
2. Discussion and Approval of redefining the roles of Clan Leaders in our Club’s voting processes and the amendment of a Covenant Article to redefine the procedures for abstaining from Electorate level voting.
3. The discussion and approval of moving the recruitment Tribune to a DC level position and thus expanding the Electorate DC votes to 9.
4. The discussion on time sensitive leadership decisions to include the removal of summit level leaders for cause.
5. Discussion and Approval of the Shadow Academies restructuring and the updating of the Headmaster’s Duties and Responsibilities.
6. The reception, commentary, and vote of confidence in two different Grand Master’s club wide updates to the Star Chamber.
7. A discussion and ultimately concurrence with the Grand Master on the process for new recruits entering the Dark Brotherhood. The aggressive downvoting of Sarin’s idea to put all new recruits in the Emissary’s Clan until they reach a certain rank (lols).
8. Discussion and concurrence on the creation of a new Role Play society and its synergistic impact on multiple DJB systems and processes.
9. Concurrence with the removal of the traditional Roll Master within the club.
10. Maintaining exceptional decorum, maturity, and discretion while serving on the Star Chamber.
11. Discussion and concurrence on updated crafting and possessions systems within the club. Gentlemen, thank you for your support to our club, your participation in club-changing events and systems, and your overall commitment to the Dark Brotherhood.
