Have a bit more time, and started playing again. Rave at Cyrene for being both relaxing and amusing - I kind of thought I'd get pretty bored of it after playing in an 'evil' city. Props to them for being so crazy willing to fight and die in raids, just so impressed at the pure tenacity. Looking forward to junking my shaman stuff for serpent stuff once I have some time and helping out, thanks to @Bronislav, @Dochitha, @Keorin, @Kogan, @Shirszae for answering a lot of my combat questions. Still having to adjust my paradigm that not everything is momentum, so that'll be fun to have beat into me.
Also rave @ the game devs that there's no Titan level, so I don't have to relieve the paranoia of gank squads coming for your delicious essence every time you leave city.
Raves to Mhaldor for pretty much making my slow return inevitable. Not like it was a tough decision, but still! You guys are awesome, particularly the individuals taking the time to actually talk and roleplay with me. Much fun.
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
@Minifie For laughing so hard we cried together over poor Sriracha the Butterfly...that made my night after a long day at work today.
RIP Sriracha, see you at your funeral in Glacian
It made my day... I've never used that butterfly but it has now earned an eternal place in my artefact list *sheds a tear in honor of the fallen chaos flitterer*
It's my Achaeaversary! Actually started playing on Feb 2, 2017, but I forgot to look up the date until now lol. One year in Achaea, has been a ton of fun. Raves to admin and every player who has made this such a cool game! Pretty sure Achaea is my #1 most favorite game ever.

Another rank in the Insidium, made lots of friends although I can’t call them that in Mhaldor, even more puppets and joined lots of raiding and defending! Great conversations with my anonymous mentor topped off the day.
Also got jumped twice (first times ever), by @Torinn, leading to me testing my fleeing skills, a short theological discussion on Evil, discussing with people how to jester (level noob basics 1.0) and muttering about Fire Lords. Then Faerae and I were discussing monk and hunting eidolons when I spotted @Sobriquet stalking us and we decided to make a stand. Faerae got her first BBT in and was very excited and we somehow managed to drive him off, which felt like a victory since we were assuming to both die
I’m probably still forgetting stuff and am deliberately not putting any Mhaldorian names for that same (t)reason!
Got to take the fight to Mhaldor last night and pop a tank. Not the sexiest of raids, but first time in a while I had been in the city instead of just skirmishing on the isle. Got a kill on Proficy which felt good. The group gelled well and were able to keep Proficy from guarding us via suppression.
You say in a sonorous voice, "Thanks a ton. Let's keep working on it."
Mizik says, "We'll do this again."
You nod your head emphatically.
You say in a sonorous voice, "You're awesome."
***fistbump miz
You look around for someone to bump fists with, but sadly, you have no friends.
In the wind just like that Shout out to @Mizik for the fun fights, system help, priority rework, etc. Didn't even ask for all that, he just said "Wanna fight?" and didn't mind helping out. Trying to shake off the rust, a great way to start!
I saw the globe prize thing, so I whipped out my cc and 6 globes later, I won a staff of illusion.
First time I have actually won anything since my 7th grade magazine sale thing decades ago. I can't complain about that though, can't win if you don't play and all that.
Hey I got some blood before the rest of that Targossian onslaught had their way with me. Joke's on them; I'm all stretched out from my consummation night.
You are:
blind.
deaf.
You are a husk of your former self.

For real tho. That was an amazing event capped off by something I've waited four years for. @Babel@Hecate

Three weeks ago I got the news there was to be a second wedding. So much planning went into this event and there were so many people involved to ensure that it went off without a hitch. Particularly due to my recent lack of presence, folks really stepped up in the last minute to see that everything got completed that needed to.
I'm thankful and grateful to the Garden for absolutely everything about today. @Klendathu for going above and beyond with the Consortium's performance, and finishing off the things that I started. @Zulah for being willing to perform. @Jadys for her amazing part of the Vanguard's performance with @Morthif and @Irimon bringing ritual dueling to a whole other level. @Ryldagh, @Reiloch, and @Katoreos orchestrating the Savant's breathtaking performance.
I've no doubt that many more people were involved behind the scenes, along with @Aegis and @Vastar. Having the wedding conclude with @Babel's return was more than any of us could have anticipated, and I'm extremely happy for @Dunn.
This is why I love Ashtan and I'm looking forward to the wild ride ahead.
(D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."
I just wanted to put in a rave for @Nicola, @Vastar, @Aegis and the hidden Celani in the Garden, who have indulged my solo RP efforts, animating everyone from Hecate to Glaaki to Amarisse the Secretary of the Crafting Council at the drop of a hat since the wedding was dropped in my lap on Tuesday, and to thank @Zulah for stepping up because I didn't want to stay up until 1am
Tharos, the Announcer of Delos shouts, "It's near the end of the egghunt and I still haven't figured out how to pronounce Clean-dat-hoo."

Syntax: TERRAN BELLOW
Works on/against: Room
Cooldown: 2.00 seconds of balance
Resource: 50 endurance
Details:
Let all know your displeasure by giving out an unending roar,
overwhelming all other sound in your location. This requires your
concentration to persist, but will prevent anyone else from speaking in
your location while the roar persists(*).
* This includes calling for guards.

What happens in game:
You let out a reverberating bellow, your titanic voice quashing all other sound beneath its unending roar.
What I see myself doing in a raid:
First time I have actually won anything since my 7th grade magazine sale thing decades ago. I can't complain about that though, can't win if you don't play and all that.
Woooooo Babel!

(Ashtan): Dunn says, "Ashtan... I am in need of a slaughter."
(Ashtan): Mizik says, "Nonsense. Relish in your undoubted paternity."
(Ashtan): Dunn says, "My virility has been expended for the moment. I must be sated with a chest covered by blood."

Dunn tells you, "I hate you."
