Well, the broken-nosed female half-elf went home to help the family farm - demons running around loose and all.

I deleted her for many reasons. She started out as an alt, and while she had wonderfully fun moments, she never quite lost that alt feeling for me. Too much of the time she was rather half-hearted. I was too wound up in how paladins "should" be. I tried to have her never say anything she wasn't certain was true without modifying it - I used to call her my 'hedge' knight. I joined the Hammer to try to put some life back in her, but it didn't last for long. My heart just wasn't in her.

I have many thanks! The Truth faith through the ups and downs, the Hammer, which was more fun without the relic than with it (always had something to do), everyone I had an encounter with that wasn't "Kill paladin, junk loot paladin, smirk, leave" has my gratitude. More specifically, to Vaerta, who wouldn't let her get away with her quick temper and for all the great faith RP, to Liya, for always wringing laughter from the stiff-necked paladin, to Preidar, for his guidance and the fun times, to Pilcestor, for showing me what fun a paladin can be and loosening Alynwen up considerably, to Yaubl, for his patience with a slow-as-dirt squire, to Guildus, for being a wonderful squire (even if you did disappear), to whoever the Immortal was who ran the Knight Tourney (I was terrified, but it was a blast, even if we never managed the follow-up RP), to Slayne, for confusing a very young paladin, Arsilan, for the early guidance and ready eq supply ... I'm going to leave out so many, and the list is already long. Apologies to whomever didn't get listed specifically that should have...I had her for a long time with rather few hours.

Ah, stats:

History'll follow if anybody cares to hear it. I'll be off having fun with a different character. ;)

I didn't get to see as much of Alynwen as I would have liked. The fact that the few interactions we had stick out in my mind though, are proof that she was a memorable character and one that was able to create a lasting impression.

I never got to thank you for that dedication to my former character. It is lovely and I was deeply touched by it. I've rarely seen such flamboyant writing skills. Truly brilliant.

Nice character, sad to see you go. It was so cool when you got a seat on the Paladin Council, it is just a shame that nothing ever seemed to come of it.

Well played...

Agreed. I quite enjoyed this character and was saddened to see nothing more come of the character's paladin council seat.

The knights' tournament did not go quite as it was supposed to. We were missing Sir Yaubl and one or two other paladins that were alive at the time. I was given a private nudge to bring the hellions and as I was playing both sides of the fence at the time, I brought them.

Wortsenawl is right. Lirimaer did give him lectures in his mind as she watched the battles. She also made sure that Sir Yaubl was aware of their performances. After the event she spoke with the paladin council and quietly had their support in the manner. It was supposed to lead to more RP between Alynwen and Lirimaer but it was hard to catch the Lady Knight. :-?

I watched her grow and her personality always left you wishing for more interactions. She was a wonderful knight but as a player I understand the frustrations one can feel when they continue to try to play a character as they see right and just not getting it.

I wish you continued success with your characters.

Alynwen will be missed. I'm sorry to see her go. Given the interactions I've had with her, they were all very positive, and I always liked having her around. I would've loved to see her get leadership, but perhaps another character.

Good luck with your next.

Cheers :drunk:

Yes, what's Alynwen's background story?

I didn't know it was player of Adara at first. Then I saw a few logs, mostly constituted of player killing, but Alynwen was not shy to roleplay in the midst of it all. Ever since then I have been looking forward to run into her.

Time is unforgiving this time, but at least you are staying with another character. Good to hear.

She was always so quiet. But I liked what rp I saw in her.
