If I had the patience for a hyper long thread detailing every individual who made an impression on me as a player and Zayd as a character I would never get it done. For the time being I have decided to shelve the old geezer for a few reasons and rather than let things burn me out from playing Arelith at all I figure this was the next best option.
To everyone involved within or around the Erudite Arcanum: all of you helped me shape ultimately what he's become and I appreciate the contributions you made to playing him. He would be nothing without the inspired and amazing people the Keep brings around it. There is incredible storytelling opportunity within those halls and all anyone ever needs is a bit of creative spark to start a fire. Every faction should aspire to the core of improv storytelling that the Arcanum has mastered as a whole.
From the few elves that interrogated Zayd in Guldorand a long time ago, to Thomas Castemont putting up with his attempts to pin him to an awful deal, to everyone within Andunor who made walking into the Hub always a treat, and to every individual who spent time to tolerate his presence just to see what came next? I thank you, truly.
And now for a message from the man himself
Some highlights from playing him:
(Sorry, imgur decided to just outright clear out my imgur uploads entirely for zero reason with no communication at all. Pretend I was funny at some point and it still works)
