The Sons and Daughters of Sadow, sometimes also referred to as House Sadow, are the epitome of Naga Sadow and the chosen of Tron Sadow, the true Heir of Sadow and the Overlord of the Sons and Daughters. They represent the most unquestionably loyal and powerful members ever to have walked the great halls of Sadow Palace. Initiation into the ranks of Sadow is an accomplishment that only the greatest Equites, and indeed Elders, within the Clan can realize. They have most often passed through the doors to Sadow Palace on Sepros itself, frequently having served as Consuls and Proconsuls of the Clan, using their wisdom and cosmic influence to shape the entire Clan. To be named a Child of Sadow is to be marked as one who descends from Sadow's original empire and has the right to execute his will in the present times.

Entry into the esteemed Sons and Daughters of Sadow is not to be taken lightly. There are a rare few who have cast off the title and later been allowed back into the ranks after once again demonstrating their loyalty. The mark of a Son or Daughter of Sadow symbolizes complete and total devotion beyond all other commitments, although the burden of being linked directly to Naga Sadow has caused some to go quite insane and internal conflict is not unheard of. Still, the Sadows are a powerful group who are not to be taken lightly.

The Sons and Daughters of Naga Sadow

Below you will first find a list of the current active Sons and Daughters of Sadow on the left. These members have stuck with their Clan through thick and thin and continue to serve the Clan and their leaders with due vigilance. Some prefer to work from the shadows, their presence barely noticeable, yet their touch reaches far and wide. Others prefer to work in the open and continue to show the face of true leadership and continued faith. Whichever path these Sons and Daughters choose to work from, you can rest assured that they have earned their title and are to be treated with respect.

On the right side you will see a list of the current roster of inactive Sons and Daughters of Sadow. Whilst no longer currently active in the Clan, these members have done their fair share in helping build Clan Naga Sadow to the point where it is now. Equal respect should be shown to these members, for they have invested a copious amount of their time to make your current home as great as it is today. In memoriam!

It is worth mentioning that although members have received the right to use the title of "Sadow" in their name, some choose not to do so for many different reasons. This does not in any way mean they disrespect the honor given to them. For some it is a precarious decision of remaining unaffiliated, such as current/former Dark Council members. For others it's as simple as not fitting in with their current name. Whatever reason they choose not to use the title of Sadow in their name, these members command equal respect from their peers.

Both lists are from most recent title earners to the very first members who were bestowed the title.

Fictional Role

The Sons and Daughters of Sadow meet in private in the chambers below Sadow Palace.

Fictionally the Sons and Daughters of Sadow are the chosen followers of Tron Sadow. They swear an oath of allegiance to the Overlord of the Sons in his role as the Heir of Sadow, although since he has not been in Sadow territory for some time, most Sadows see this as an object of formality and tradition. The Sons and Daughters uphold the values of Clan Naga Sadow and act to maintain it's power and influence. In the past, should a Consul have ever attempted to question the authority of the Overlord they could expect a swift death at the hands of the Sons and Daughters. However, recently, Bentre Sadow has brazenly claimed the title of Overlord for himself, and it remains to be seen whether this will have negative consequences for his livelihood. The Sadows are loyal adherents to the clan and the most devout followers of Clan Naga Sadow.

Background Information

• Status as a Son or Daughter of Sadow is the highest award Clan Naga Sadow can bestow upon one of its members. The entry criteria are strict and it will often take several years of work on the Clan Summit to earn the title. After one of the existing Sons or Daughters deems a member worthy a vote will be held by them to assess the member's eligibility.
• The title Son or Daughter of Sadow can be used either as an addition after the member's name or incorporated into their name directly as in the case of Tron Sadow, formerly Tron Dlarit.
• The term "Heir of Sadow" is unique to Tron Sadow as the Overlord of the Sons and Daughters and cannot be used by any other.
• Those found using the name "Sadow" without having been accepted into the Sons and Daughters of Sadow should expect the Master At Arms to remove it.

Previous History

The Sons and Daughters used to have factions, but it was removed near the end of 34 ABY on the then Consul's orders, Locke Sonjie. The decision to do this was simply that it was confusing, it held no other fictional reason and divided the Sons and Daughters which was deemed unnecessary. Below you can find the factions with a brief description of what they were for posterity. However, it is a difficult - if not impossible - task to direct and control the Children of Sadow, and as such, new factions could be forming even now.

• The Sons or The Daughters are the ones that use Sadow in their name, and share the same ideals.
• Apostate Sons or Daughters still hold the title officially but have fictionally forsaken the Clan.
• Rogue Sons or Daughters are ones that put the Clan before anything, but stand apart from the rest of their brethren and are considered "radical" by the others. They also don't use Sadow in their name.
