I play Kaedan Palehide, and it's time for him to bid farewell for good (although I got two months to regret this decision, thanks to the award cooldown ). It's not often that I play a character for as long as I played him, and now I ran out of steam, but during this time, I got to meet and play with a lot of cool people, too many for me to write about. Instead, I'll focus on a few special mentions:
The Merchant Navy: The first faction to adopt my grumpy Aurilian, where he eventually rose from a swabbie to a quartermaster responsible for counting the items in the storage of three different ships every few days. Again, I wish I could mention everyone who made his time in the Navy as amazing as it was, but if I do that, I'm bound to forget someone; there were so many people!
Jotunhold: When Kaedan returned from his first shelving, he managed to befriend the Half-Giants of Jotunhold and joined them. I consider myself extremely lucky for having been a part of yet another awesome faction, one that breathed new life and purpose into a character I thought I had nothing else to explore with. Seriously, go drink mjod with them, you won't regret it.
DM Rainbow: Your Unseelie Fey plot was something else. Personally, it allowed me to explore my character's faith in ways I wouldn't have been able to alone, and it also brought so many different people together for a story that took many months to conclude, with plot twists and everything.
EDIT: The award cooldown was taking too long and the shelving is cancelled.
