If you've been in chat at all since the founding of SDS, you'll have noticed that we use the greeting “Sabe” quite a bit. This comes from the sci-fi series ''Ender's Game''. While in battle school, children were taught some Portugese / Brazilian, and “Sabe” – pronounced sah-BEE – was one of the slang words that they learned, which meant “You understand?” – it was also a greeting, which is what we use it as today.

Of the four companies, the San d'Ma Shadar are known as the 'muscle' of the White Tower. This is an oversimplification of an important characteristic lying just beneath the surface... survival. The SDS are the survivors: the jack-of-all-trades, master of none. They adapt and do what must be done to complete the task at hand, whether it be organizing others for an offensive or protecting one's Aes Sedai from harm. All this must be accomplished by utilizing what is readily available to its fullest potential. San d'Ma Shadar provides some of the best Warders the Tower has to offer. We are the Slayers of the Shadow!

As with any group of people, our lives lead us in many different directions. Members of SDS come from all walks of life and enjoy many different things, from explosion coordination to website design to practicing law and many other professions. Some of us have Masters degrees and some of us are unemployed. Many of us have had careers in the military. Our ages range from 20 to the mid-50s, but we are all brothers in life. We support each other when support is needed, and give each other a slap in the face if we need to wake up and realize what's going on around us. We are always there for each other, but at the same time we lead our own individual lives.

If one thing can be learned from the past years of service that members of this company have given to each other as well as to this site, it is that if a GROUP of individuals come together and make a collective choice to define what they see as good and right in each other, the resulting "Code" makes them all stronger as a whole. That is what being a member of a Knightly Brotherhood meant.

===Loyalty===
 
−
San d’ma Shadar is known for unwavering commitment to the people and ideals they choose to live by. There are many places where compromise is expected; loyalty is not amongst them. However, mindless or blind loyalty is slavery. Loyalty must be weighed with justice, and the persons and ideals that we are loyal to must be found to be both right and just, else we fall into support with the unjust and evil in this world.

===Honor===

A Brother or Sister in San d’ma Shadar has only one judge of honor, and this is him or herself. Decisions you make and how these decisions are carried out are a reflection of whom you truly are. You cannot hide from yourself.

−
===Duty===
 
−
As San d’ma Shadar, we have a responsibility to the Tower. An obligation to accomplish the tasks, both spoken and inferred, placed upon us by those in positions above us, our brothers and sisters in the Company and Tower, and by our own hearts and minds. As with all actions in life, Duty, should be tempered with thought and reflection. To attach oneself to an act, person, or ideal without first considering the consequences can have grave results for all involved.
 
−
 
 
−
===Truth===
 
−
Speak always the truth. To lie is to dishonor the Tower, San d’ma Shadar, yourself, and the powers of Good. It is an injustice. Seek the truth whenever possible, but remember to temper justice with mercy, or the pure truth can bring grief.
 
−
 
 
−
===Courage===
 
−
Being San d’ma Shadar often means choosing the more difficult path, the personally expensive one. Be prepared to make personal sacrifices in service of the precepts and people you value, even when you would prefer not to. At the same time, a member of San d’ma Shadar should seek wisdom to see that stupidity and courage are cousins. Courage also means taking the side of truth in all matters, rather than seeking the expedient lie.
 
−
 
 
−
===Justice===
 
−
Seek always the path of right, unencumbered by bias or personal interest. Recognize that the sword of justice can be a terrible thing, so it must be tempered by humanity and mercy.
 
−
 
 
−
===Prowess===
 
−
To seek excellence in all endeavors expected of a member of San d’ma Shadar, martial and otherwise, seeking strength, strength of mind as well as strength of body, to be used in the service of justice, rather than in personal aggrandizement.
 
−
 
 
−
===Franchise===
 
−
Seek to emulate everything that has been spoken of here as sincerely as possible, not for the reason of personal gain but because it is right. Do not restrict your exploration to a small world, but seek to infuse every aspect of your life with these qualities. Should you succeed in even a tiny measure then you will be well remembered for your quality and virtue.

Welcome to the San d'ma Shadar HQ!

What is San d'ma Shadar?

What is Sabe?

If you've been in chat at all since the founding of SDS, you'll have noticed that we use the greeting “Sabe” quite a bit. This comes from the sci-fi series Ender's Game. While in battle school, children were taught some Portugese / Brazilian, and “Sabe” – pronounced sah-BEE – was one of the slang words that they learned, which meant “You understand?” – it was also a greeting, which is what we use it as today.

Sometimes you will hear us refer to each other as Sabers (Sabe-ers) as well.

Of the four companies, the San d'ma Shadar are known as the 'muscle' of the White Tower. This is an oversimplification of an important characteristic lying just beneath the surface... survival. The members are the survivors: the jack-of-all-trades, master of none. They adapt and do what must be done to complete the task at hand, whether it be organizing others for an offensive or protecting one's loved ones from harm. All this must be accomplished by utilizing what is readily available to its fullest potential. We are the Slayers of the Shadow!

The SDS Creed

I am a member of San d’ma Shadar. I have chosen to become a member of an elite company and as such intend to uphold the ideals and carry on the spirit of a unique brotherhood. I have pledged to follow the Amyrlin Seat and those persons whom she sees fit to place in positions above me, remembering always to acquit myself with Loyalty, Honor, Duty, Truth, Courage, Justice, Prowess, and Franchise.

  • I have no ties that are not bound by loyalty.
  • I have no life without honor.
  • I am bound to family, country, and Tower with duty.
  • I make truth my standard.
  • I use courage to do what is right no matter the consequences.
  • I seek justice for weak and strong alike.
  • I strive for prowess in all I do.
  • I instill all parts of my life with these values through franchise.

I will fight to protect that which I care for, and those who have put their trust in me. I will strive to protect the Tower and all that it stands for, for as the Tower has accepted me, I choose to embrace the Tower. With the strength of the Brotherhood, and the ideals that the Brotherhood embraces I will not falter nor will I fail! For I am a stalker in the night, I am the strength in the battle, I am the center that will not break, I am the tip of the spear, first blood is mine!
For I am a SLAYER OF THE SHADOW! I AM SAN D’MA SHADAR!

SDS in real life

As with any group of people, our lives lead us in many different directions. Members of SDS come from all walks of life and enjoy many different things, from explosion coordination to website design to practicing law and many other professions. Some of us have Masters degrees and some of us are unemployed. Many of us have had careers in the military. Our ages range from 20 to the mid-50s, but we are all brothers in life. We support each other when support is needed, and give each other a slap in the face if we need to wake up and realize what's going on around us. We are always there for each other, but at the same time we lead our own individual lives.
