A small glass bottle sits on the sand of a far away land. Corked with a bit of red wax, it is slowly lapped at by the waves of a never ending river.
Sitting on the Shores of Arvandor... from walking the planes one last time I write to you. I hope you are well and that you have found peace among the terrors of this world.
I've thought many things over the months I have had to contemplate the end, and the only thing I could bear to write, is have you had enough to eat? Did you get enough rest? And did you find happiness?
I miss you, and I hope you found balance, in the end.
May you walk safely, in Pale Moonlight.
Signed,
Dregan The Green.
And So it was... on the lapping shores of the plane of Arvandor, a small, tired green elf lay. Away from Cordor, far from Brog, and miles from Myon, in the arms of a friend, she quietly passed away, of Exhaustion.
Dregan was my very first character upon coming to Arelith, and she was my muse for many years. I've grown so much, and so much has changed since I first started playing my lovely little elf, growing her from a wandering ranger, to the Druid she so enjoyed being. There are so, so many people that impacted her story and while I could never want to leave anyone from her story out, here are just a few of the people that made every day on arelith a joy and enriched her story to no end.
Kent - You brought Dregan's life and breathed life into her story. From bar tales to underdark excursions, to walking the planes, there is not a day that goes by that I don't remember at least one of our antics. Thank you, for being so dynamic.
Charlotte Crowe - Dregan's story was built around that fateful day. So much came of her decisions that it shaped her into what made her a druid.
Jez - One of those she could not save, but she kept her memory alive long after. Dregan kept the scar from the final fight they had with her by choice, as a reminder of what could have been.
Emma Young - Dregan's only spouse, and secret keeper. Long live the Gauntlet. There is too much that can't be said about how grateful I am for the pleasure and opportunity to work side by side with Emma and spend her best years devoted to her wife.
Diana Nerelith - Dregan's Best friend, and forever planeswalking partner. Lucama will dearly miss you as well.
Simone - occasional partner in crime, forever rival and looked up to for inspirational speeches.
Anaria Liam'y'tholen - Dregan always remembered Anaria as a sister, the only elf she truly embraced as such. She was the only Coronal that Dregan truly served under, before beginning her path to Druidism.
Angela Amana - Long friends, she never forgot the beautiful talks they would have long into the night about some of the best topics and depths of magic. Never lose that beautiful spark.
Burin - There is nothing I could say that could do justice to the depth of Burin's character, and how much his impact had on Dregan in making her desire to keep the balance as much as she could manage. This is the way!
Veisha Calan - Dregan will never forget how much veisha did for her, and how much of a partner in crime she would become helping with the druid's circle and their escapades thru guldorand. Enjoy being a playwrite and theater manager!
Aliana Drake - The Eagerest, most spunky Aliana and Sir Snuffles, Lucama's favorite badger friend.
I couldn't leave out Calumithar, and DM Avalon, thank you for so many Fey-corgi interactions over the years!
And so many more. I look forward to playing with all your new characters and keep evolving. Dregan's story may be over for me, but I look forward to starting a new chapter and marking a new age. See you all in the next life.
