- Primary reason

For over a thousand years the Dark Lords of the Sith have sought perfection through change, growth, and evolution. The tool of their empowerment was their passion for success.
I am honored to elevate one such member of the Dark Brotherhood to the rank of Dark Jedi Master and the title of Darth for these very reasons.
Muz Keibatsu Sadow has served the Dark Brotherhood and his efforts have lead to growth and evolution in every area he has touched. Over the course of the last fourteen months Muz has contributed more to the Dark Brotherhood than most members of the Brotherhood have contributed in their life time.
Muz's accomplishments in no particular order are the modernization of our Robes and the creation of a member selection tool allowing for the customization of said robes. He also created a lightsaber creation tool that had revolutionized the lightsaber creation for the entire Dark Brotherhood. Muz has also played a heavy role if not the most important role in the updating and creation of Dark Brotherhood Banners. All in all, every dossier in the Dark Brotherhood now bears the work of Muz.
In addition to the work that Muz handled as his primary duties as Herald, he also contributed to the Rite of Supremacy by grading hundreds of fiction events and serving as a judge on several events. His timely grading of the fictional submissions led to the fastest turn around times the Dark Brotherhood has ever seen.
Muz has followed up his Herald work as Deputy Grand Master. His primary duty since becoming DGM has been the creation of the GJW rules and the editing of the now 80+ pages of the GJW plot. Muz's work in both of these areas has been exceptional and ahead of schedule.
The final grand cherry on top of Muz's work was the creation of the H2H guide. This guide serves as a tool for all Dark Brotherhood members when developing their characters for play in the ACC and for use in Dark Brotherhood fiction. Muz took this project upon himself and completed it in record time.
Muz, congratulations to DJM and welcome to the two man team of Darths :p
The path of a Dark Jedi is one of Strength and Power. To achieve mastery one must possess the first and seize the second. Through his hard work, dedication, and strength Muz Ashen Keibatsu Sadow has done just that, rising from a lowly Apprentice to Dark Jedi Master in a swift three and a half years, a feat that few even myself have been unable to achieve. As an AED, QUA, and PCON of Clan Naga Sadow he helped bring the clan to new levels of activity and excellence. As the Herald he placed before the Brotherhood a plethora of new projects and worked tirelessly to insure the smooth operation of one of the busiest offices of the Dark Council. Now as the Deputy Grand Master he serves the Iron Throne with the same dedication and evenhandedness that we have come to expect from this man that is very well respected. In his time here Muz has placed his friends, his family, and this Brotherhood above all else. There are those who whisper in shadows about how the man has flaws too deep to allow the honors he has received. They say that he's not right or unnatural, I say that he is everything we could become, and what we should aspire to be, Honorable, Strong, and Powerful. It is my most sincere privilege to recommend that Muz Ashen Keibatsu Sadow be elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Master.
- Krath Epis Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu
Muz has stayed up until the wee hours of the morning and worked tirelessly creating sabers and robes. His recent work on the Hand to Hand Guide shows his time, effort, skill and devotion to the Brotherhood.
In his time as DGM he has spent hours upon hours working to help get the next GJW off the ground, often coming home from work and spending the rest of the night on the computer until I would drag him off to bed, not to mention weekends as well.
He has gone above and beyond the call of duty to create a better Dark Jedi Brotherhood for us all. Muz Keibatsu Sadow, we are in your debt and it is my privilege, nay, my pleasure to recommend you for this promotion to Dark Jedi Master. ~KP Ashia Kagan Keibatsu
Muz is one of the best members that this organization has. His tireless and unceasing work towards projects that benefit the membership of this club, such as the hand-to-hand guide, the saber guide, robes, war banners, and many other works have greatly enhanced the fun factor in the Brotherhood. I can't think of anyone who has put in as many hundreds of hours and part of their life to make this club a better and more fun place. I have known Muz since my beginning as a member, and I have found him at all times to be thoughtful and available to help others. Even as he was appointed Herald and DGM, he has continued to take time to participate meaningfully in CNS conclaves as one of our Inner Order and a Son of Sadow. I am proud to consider him a friend and ally, and a role model. In summation, Muz definitely deserves to be a Dark Jedi Master- something long overdue.

No matter what, Muz seems to have time for people who need help in the Brotherhood. Granted he does a great amount of work for this club, graphic and coding wise, he still gets in touch with the individual members of the Brotherhood. Whether it's slapping people around through IRC or email (figuratively speaking), he still sparks the individual member greatly. Aside from his devotion to the individual, his work has been done in a timely manner and in great quality. Toi know the man is a true honor and it is truly time that he be promoted to the rank of Dark Jedi Master to show him appretiation for all the work he has done and will continue to do for the Brotherhood. Congrats, big bro!!!

I've had the pleasure of working with Muz over the last month since his appointment as Deputy Grand Master. When Muz was chosen, there was no application process. There was one choice open the Dark Brotherhood and it was clearly Muz Keibatsu Sadow.
Since taking office, what has impressed me most about the Deputy Grand Master has been his immediate impact on the myriad projects ever at hand. I could go on to laud what projects I've seen Muz complete, his work on the scoring system for the coming Great Jedi War, or his constant presence both on IRC and email to lend any member from the Grand Master to the questioning Novice his help. I don't need to do that here however as anyone reading this can see for themselves Muz's projects linked of the main site, participate in and enjoy the next GJW, or simply ask him a question yourself and realize that this is a member who is in this for others first, himself second.
Personally, Muz has helped me by acting as one of the editors and critics of the GJW storyline I've been working on for a number of months. He has read more than 80 pages of text pointing out issues that needed addressing, typos, and helping to work the plot into shape. His assistance to me on this project has been invaluable and its a better story for his efforts. I cannot thank him enough, but perhaps this small blurb is a start.

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 ones 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 ones 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 ones 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 Muzs 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 ones 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
