You cannot wear a silver medal with crossing swords.
Right before he left. Right in the feels.
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
This thread has been beautiful and inspiring to read. I hope I find experiences in this game as moving as you all have. Thank you for sharing.
I think house/city leaders run into similar problems where signing into the game seems more like work and less like fun.
- With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
- (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."

Though not as grandiose as one would find in the cosmopolitan city states, clear effort had been
made to impress and accommodate guests of high class, all for naught in the wake of the great fire
that clearly took place here. The black and white checkered tiles that once distinguished the
dancing floor are now marred with ash, and the murals painted on the walls are indistinguishable
through the burns and char. The large, arched windows in the western wall have been boarded up to
keep out the weather and the wildlife, but the wind still whistles eerily through the cracks. From
the smoke-damaged cupola overhead hangs a grand chandelier holding a dozen oil lamps, swinging
crookedly in the drafty room. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. A sigil in the shape
of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground.
You see exits leading east and south.

Also giving up Magi for Alchemist. Months before Neraeos praised me for being one of the original guild classes in my current house, and I threw it away for a crafting ability. I've come NOT to regret it over time (and I am LOVING the class now) but at the time there was SO much buyers remorse.
ICLY, Gibbi seeing his family split up with half going to Cyrene, and half going to Targossas, as well as learning about the loss of Shallam's gods, Loreilan's betrayal, and especially Miramar's death. It was a bit of an overload for Gibbi, and really he hasn't been entirely the same since. Maybe a little bit more motivated, I suppose.
I have undressed a god.
@Tahquil leaving Targ and giving up Alchemy. We never did get to make Frankenstein.
I have undressed a god.
However, it was a good rp timepoint to change affiliations.
I will not draw them in the order that they are requested... rather in the order that I get inspiration/artist block.
I have undressed a god.
Ones I remember right now:
Definitely, the Bal'met event. I can remember seeing all of the gods and goddesses dying in the sky and feeling powerless to do anything about it. My heart just kind of sank into my stomach remembering all of the good times meeting Them, or wishing that I had spoken with them.
Another one. This disbanding of the Naga house. I wasn't around when it happened and when I came back around people were literally telling us to just forget the Naga ever happened.
Leaving Mhaldor, both times. To be honest, it always made me sad, but I never really got along with too many people there and I felt like an outcast. I still love the city and the roleplay though. I miss the Baelgrim terribly.
The utter annihilation of Lady Eris' memory in Ashtan. Though, I might still have a few things that the Nihilists wouldn't be too happy about. XD
There are a lot of others. These were just the ones that kind of flew up to memory.
Saddest thing that's ever happened to me/Draqoom.
Spire returned. Spire is an old friend, a very dear friend. The feels when he would return, even though I know his alt, were overwhelmingly positive. We talked about the Kharon, he showed me he had an item that I had thought was lost. I said to him, in not this exact wording "I'm glad that at least one true Kharon still holds it, and I know it will be safe with you at the very least".
Fast forward to, I think, the next RL day or two later.
A strange deathsight scrolls across the screen. Some creature of Babel had snuffed the life of Spire out forever. I don't think it was worded that way, but I immediately knew that was the case and I most certainly cried out in anguish IRL and cried. A friend of, what now, 15 years would no longer show his face, no longer feel the pain of these iron fists, no longer share the same space as me and it hurt. I remember being pretty upset about this for a week. Then I realized that the item was lost too, a twofold stab in the heart.
Then, one day, I get a strange delivery and a simple message from someone in the Order of Babel "He would have wanted you to have this", and there it was. The little trinket in all it's glory, handed over to me. The trinket had always held a meaning to me simply for what it represented, now the trinket is priceless and could never be replaced. It's the last remaining piece of the death of two things that I've always held dear to me and simply looking at it brings a tear to my eye.
@Batista, @Nicia, and I tried like hell to keep the Order going since we had authority from @Aegis to induct. We built the Order *even with a dormant God* and one day the admin showed up and just removed everyone we added, then disappeared. That pretty much pushed me to dormancy because Shallam was shit, the Sentinels and Eleusis were still "distant" so the Order was where I focused my attention. Just said 'fuck it' and went dormant for 5 RL years.
