Shanna Waynolt

[Terenfel]

Did a quick search of the forum and did not find any Kudos to this amazing player... so, thought I would make one

I been so lucky as to play along side one of what I think is the best player on this server. And seen how the Waynolt family has grown form all her work. It’s amazing.

I first meet Shanna on my old Character Zachard Black, who she mended from his broken state and over time converted to a follower of Chauntea as well. It was an amazing story I don’t want to go to much into details of, as this is about the player and her character that made that all possible. Shanna Waynolt.

Zachard sadly died of old age and I started playing other characters… but they all missed playing with Shanna and the Amazing family and faction she was running. She asked me to play one of her kids. Alrius. And never have I had so much fun playing on this server. I am eternally grateful for getting to play this character and continue to be part of her amazing story and character. She have made the best foundation for a new character a player could ever ask for.

If you haven’t been by the Riverbank in Bendir and seen the shine she has made to Chauntea, I would suggest you do. It’s a landmark on Arelith now and really shows how much time, energy and attention to details this player has. If you have been lucky enough to get invited inside, you will see its not just a front. She takes it all the way.

She is a player that often leaves me in awe when I play with her, how well she plays this strong personality and motherly character amazes me every time. She is surely the player that gives me the much joy in this game, and why I keep coming back as often as I can.

The faction and family she runs is amazing in the how long its endured, how consistent it is and how complete it is, I not seen a anything like it anywhere. And while its faction is nothing without its members, I am sure that they would all agree that she is the clue that hold its all together

I will cry for the server the day Shanna is not on it anymore, but hopefully that wont happen in many years

Seconded

Shanna and the Waynolt family have been fantastic to RP with for such a long time, through thick or thin the Chauntean followers will always be there

Fantastic people both in and out of the game, and I much hope that the entire family, and even their legacy will stay <3

[Petrifictus]

Yay for Mama Waynolt to rest of her family.

[Zaravella]

I also have to give kudos to the Lady Waynolt. She just recently met Zaravella, and she was gracious enough to help with an important matter... thanks for that. Looking forward to more RP oppurtunities with you.

[Lexx]

The Waynolts have been fantastic to RP with, around and about. Keep up the good work.

[Diilicious]

I always dread when somebody sends me links to the forum so this was a nice surprise.

I would like to say that I am grateful for the acknowledgement given here, but also that no truely great character exists in a vacuum, there have been near countless fantastic players and their characters that have shaped my own into what she is today.

So really I would like to use this oppertunity to thank the following characters for their contribution towards where my Character has gotten to and also what she learned from each of them.

Yes.. similar story here. Originally had a character who was pretty much at odds with Shanna when she first appeared, and then later ended up with another of my characters being adopted by the family. It's been one of the most heartwarming stories I've had the pleasure of seeing unfold on Arelith.

[goblinhero]

Absolute joy playing with Shanna. The sole reason, I stuck with Arelith after dying countless times to rats on a boat, was being invited to a tea-party as Drafer with people like Shanna, Fe'dath and Brizshala.

Later bumping into Shanna in the Farmfields completely altered Catherine from being an emo ninja assassin to becoming an adopted daughter of the noble family.

[Kalimere]

I recall bringing you into my loop on Draavos back when you first started the server on Shanna. Its cool to see how much she's evolved as a character and how you've evolved as a player. You've proven yourself to be a player that has made Arelith that much more alive.

[A little fellow]

People ebb and flow, times are always changing, battles come and go ... but in my Dwarf's story there was one constant - Shanna was his friend from the first page until the last.

[PeterRasta]

His least favorite and only mother in law. Shanna and Geralt try their hardest, but despite of it all they sometimes go as well togheter as mustard with toast. Nonetheless, I can't imagine myself having asmuch fun with any other character or player in her spot. She's a well fleshed out and enjoyable character IG, and OOC she's friendly and fun, meaning we both get to laugh at whatever disagreement they're in now.

[Moonlandergames]

I created Ifan as my first character without even knowing of the Waynolt family and having a hub of worship helped deepen his arbitrary choice of deity to fit Good/Nature/Neutral and helps make them a more complex character. That is only by existing.,the few times i've role played with them has always been pleasant and brings interesting introspection even after the role play has stopped.

[Lansert]

I still fondly recall Ezekiel getting some family advice from Shanna the first time they interacted and Ezekiel was still new to this whole marriage business a million years ago when he had his first husband. Shanna's Shrine to the Earthmother was such a huge inspiration to see that it really refreshed my vigor and desire to be more active in Arelith. There it was, a player made Shrine. Beautiful and complex and wonderful, made me realize that players had more agency on this server than what I thought when I first came here.
