The Parting Glass

Farewells are often not pleasant things, unless they are tempered with the thought we will see each other again later.
With that in mind I would like to say "Farewell", with the promise of hopefully saying, "see you again soon."
The time has come to set to the back shelf a story I began here some four years past now (I think that long?). It is, to say the least a bitter sweet thing. And it is hard to remember all the good times and story telling I have shared with my first Character to walk the roads of Arelith.
Mithrim started his days as a young servant of mystra, helping to spread the faith and be the steward of a burgeoning new wizards school in cordor with the aid of his first friend off the boat, Daijin Helefnarian. The first but hardly the last, as his circle of companions grew... Peony Bagley, Meran, Fiala, Vida, Esta Marie, some of his early acquaintances, that he enjoyed spending time with as he moonlighted as a barkeep in the nomad. Just before the crown of thorns came to plague the island.
Then through Daijin's poking...he came to find this place called Myon. A place different from the rest, and a place that gave him a purpose. Lord Cav'raj saw him installed as an ambassador to an embassy in cordor, and he became close with many knights and priests of the city. Ahka'le, Mara'kia, and Ari'anna Corbael, Lyn'daerio the archer...
Then came conversion, a desire to more closely serve the elven people and so he found sehanine and with the faith a new home and new friends as a permanent fixture in the city. There was love, heartbreak, hard work, frustration, parties, dressing as the queen for a costume party and somehow catching her eye doing so....there was and has been Fun.
Which quickly turned to work, as Mithrim became First Knight and his service to the city increased, as did his friends, Asherrin, Shalifil, Uncle Seril, Lady Cal'lith, Auntie Sar'lin, Grumpy Elrik, Thorny Rose, Master Reginald, Clean sweeping Cyranithr, The Pathfinder Orion, quite Syrian, Kai'mi, Gwi'fain, Soko the crude, Ceowgy and Fatty, Solaenthir the clown, Xar'ina and Portia, Navira, Gwen, Shera, Andy Dirtytoes, The Hammer of Brog Doili Troff, Neville the sheriff of Burrowhome, Feather, Manobi, Kata Talos, Verankt (apologies for the butchery on the names!), Willow, Amras both of them, Liira, Guster, Elaine, Rae'lin, Elessar, Verimil, Trina, Storm, Vilindra, Ember....
So many names, I feel bad putting those here I can remember because it make me sad of all those I cannot recall now. Know that even if not named, I appreciated telling a story with you these past years.
Also aside from friends he made new foes and enemies. Baneites a plenty, warlocks, Malarites, Tiamatians, way ward elves, Thank you for being easy to hate
and courteous foes.
On Sunday Mithrim will end his stewardship of Myon, passing the Chalice to the next suck....er....worthy ruler. He then departs to search for a PC whom has meant a lot to him both IG and OOC. Lady Sia, someone I have had the very distinct privilege to enjoy their RP with for a few years now, and someone I consider a very dear friend in real life, one of many I have made in playing.
Any whom can are welcome to bid Mithrim well as he departs on his journey, before he steps down this coming Sunday. I would be glad to share an old memory of fun we have had. From my fresh faced days as a very real noob to the server to now the journey has been something very special.
On a personal note, I hope to still play when I can, and I am not rolling Mithrim but certainly playing him much less. I have had some fairly serious medical news lately and I do not know what the future holds outside the realm of fantasy. So I am preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. Do keep me in your thoughts if you feel you can. I shall need all the support I can muster.
