I am sure the elf has a better memory than I do. I know I'm forgetting so very many, The Blue Sorceress, Dusk's UD counterpart that I only met once, a ton of Myon folks, a slew of dwarves including one boisterous fellow that gave him a rough diamond, a ton of Guld folks, a ton of Tower folks, a ton of Bendir Fort/dale and Benwick and every other place...
I've met soooo many characters that have influenced me, from small to large ways, MANY times without them knowing, just from an overheard line. (That was the case with Sandrhir, hearing him talk to a Half-Orc THAT spoke LiKE THIS for SOME BOOTS to be ENCHANTED....)
Basically, if your name showed up... it means my own, poor human memory managed to pull it up from over a decade of playing in a wonderful world. If I've met you and it hasn't shown up, chalk it up to me being a human and Salasker being an elf. Rest assured he WOULD remember you. But, regardless, you've all provided hours and hours of fun, sadness (the good/cathartic kind), interest, intrigue, curiousity, and (MOST OF ALL) laughter and enjoyment for the human being on the other side of the pixels.
Arelith is the closest I've ever come to the Pen and Paper that my sister and I found when I was 8 years old. I look forward to adding to this list.
(P.S. - I've tried like hell to recall names, but RL rears its ugly head. If I've shunned anyone, blame my broken brain, and trust that every interaction has provided me with understanding and joy. Arelith has been and continues to be, a place I love to be because of the people that inhabit it. Thank you.)
(P.S.S. - The team. From JJJerm to Irongron and a loooooong list of DMs that have put up with my questions/requests and all around pestering. I'll shout out Qizzia (for the slap I needed), Angel, Talos, Iron, Cobra, Watchtower and others I'm again forgetting from days past... but to all of you that have or now do an often thankless job... Thank you.)
Cool kids wear shades during the endless night 
Hopefully. Apologies ahead for forgetting someone as the list is a long one.
