[Gno Mer] [HAMMER] Pilnor Lindnig, Rider from the Depths

Pilnor has left the building.

I rolled Pilnor to try and be all that my last gnome merc couldn't and to also be a strong Hammer of Light character, and I think he was a great success in that regard. I have always loved the RP of the Hammer of Light, and I greatly enjoyed leading this cabal with Pilnor. I did not want to delete him at this point in his life, but this is most certainly the time, as my other choice was going to be inactivity and I didn't want to have an inactive leadership character.

Pilnor was born and raised in Craeftilin, and he was raised on the stories of how necromancers turned Craeftilin into a place of slaveship by deep-elves: And as a result Pilnor had an instrinsic hatred of deep-elves that measured up to that of most elves, and also hated necromancy with an even deeper passion. Unlike most gnomes, he dedicated himself to physical combat after hearing of legends of the Hammer of Light's warriors, which is also why he moved from Craeftilin to Taslamar to continue his training as a novice mercenary.

Pilnor eventually joined with the Hammer of Light, in time became a leader, and the rest is history. A big thank you to all of the allies I interacted with, especially Krilasth who gave me the ability to ride a centaur barbarian into battle (which was totally awesome) and to Alefi, Iliphalia and Heisei for providing so much fun in Pilnor's early years. Special thanks as well to Paedrig, Allon, Llyewlyn, Lynard, and all the other lighties who showed up towards the end of Pilnor's lifespan to give some more pizzazz to things. I can't even begin to imagine that the few people I have mentioned come close to all that I should, so again, thank you to my IC friends for all the time we spent together.

Also, special thanks to all of Pilnor's enemies and/or people that he wasn't aiming to kill but just couldn't stand (Here's looking at you, Ciadel - the early years!). Pilnor had a very abrasive nature concerning those whom he didn't see eye to eye with, and I dearly hope that no one mistook any of my IC hatred as extending to a player level. I especially loved all of the RP with Ciadel and Pilnor as they started to get to know each other, though Pilnor most certainly found it to be extremely frustrating. Special congrats to Keleza for jailing me, to Keleza again for finally getting her cloak, to Ivstnesr for getting that charm kill, and to Daerk for catching me by surprise and jailing me. I think those four battles are the only ones in which Pilnor died or was jailed, and each one was very well executed. Well okay, except maybe that stupid charm wand, that was lucky. :wink:

Good luck and best wishes to all the lighties I have left in the meantime, and I am sorry that I did not get the chance to play with so many of you more. As for me, I am getting married to the woman of my dreams in a little over a month, and just recently closed on a house that I'm going to be moving into as well: As a result, my time on SK shall be completely gone except for forum trolling. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

Stats with mods, because I didn't remove them before I deleted.

Hey! I killed Pilnor with a scroll!

Edoras · **Posted:** Sat Oct 01, 2011 9:35 pm

Ah yes, you're right, I knew I was missing one.

Peace out, good luck with life! :drunk:

Good luck with that whole marriage thing.

So he lasted ~30 weeks - not too shabby, definitely beats the lifespan of your average hammerc. You sure build characters well and I enjoyed every minute playing with Pilnor these last few weeks.

Best of luck with & congrats on the real life - might take a while but I'm sure you'll be back.

Nicely played.

Have as much fun in life as you do here in SK :drunk:

Grats on the wedding plans and all, Edoras. Good luck with it all. Take your break from SK (imho you needed it) and come back refreshed with a new character that you will also enjoy playing.

Edoras, I still remember the tall female elf rogue from so many years ago, the Peacekeeper. You have come such a long way, grown so much, and now often led the frontlines in the game. All the forums bantering aside, the contribution you have put into SK is immense, and definitely a positive one.

Incidentally I have missed out on Turon, Antiira, and other notable characters but I came across Pilnor. You know, I rolled a few different auras to interact with people in SK, and it made me sad that it's difficult to tell at times who or what people stand for. A lot of the lore in SK, the distinguishable themes in different factions have all blended together; people just player killed, roleplayed, posted their logs, and lol'd.

Pilnor was different. He was an oasis. He carried on the Hammer theme in the game with dignity, played the character strong, and it made the story believable, in turn, it also made SK enjoyable - it was fun. You did it.

Thank you, and all the best.

Another regret I have is Baldric's characters, but at least I didn't completely miss out on this one.
