The Seaborn Death

Post by Malloney »

All good things come to an end and this thread is the telling that the Seaborn Death and by extension, Aellfric the Underhanded's story has officially ended. Made a lot of friends, made some enemies and had a lot of awesome times. Whether we were your bad guys, the fellows you can count on or someone you found annoying. Man, oh, man, is putting out all the kudos and great work of all the people along the way going to be hard but I'll do my best here. Most of you already know you're legit, but how about some more words on a screen to reaffirm it?

The Seaborn Death all started with finding inspiration in a song. Everything came to be with a simple thought. "What if we were Umberlant Vikings, bro?" That song was Blood and Thunder by Mastodon. I encourage you to give it a listen while perusing the thread.

To start us from the top, we've got the Reavers of Holgerstead! The Northern Alliance took the Underdark by storm. You couldn't shake a stick without finding a Northman from either the Reavers or the Seaborn. So much so that they were often mistaken for one another.
Hakon Agnarsson, Ingrid Agnarsdottir, Valnar, Stregabor Ironslag, Leif Daggson, Trym Man-eater, Filawyn, Landvaettir, Einar, Rune Sorensson, Vidar Osmond, Yrsa Hakonsdottir, Verdandi Ekstrom, Mikkel, Git, Boulder and so many more I can't remember...

We've got a short but very big one here. The Ghost Queen's Cult! Jessamine was a major role in the Seaborn's journey.
Jessamine Geist, Filawyn and Valnar Grimmsdallr (Double Mention), and Nafairith. All of y'all are awesome and know it already.

TEAM SENCLIFF & THE DREADNAUGHT, these guys got us started plain and simple. Can't forget about them!
Raja, Olivia, Ivah Shadowclaw, Marco, Zekram, Sir Roland, The Beautiful Boys Crew, Belarynne and Laelva Vaval'siroan, Kit, Wilford, Ylva Bylgesanger, Raktus, Ruust, Cuthbert Goshawk, Licit, Fentrix Whisperfeet and some more I'm no doubt forgetting.

Next up, we've got Andunor at large. The Sharps and Greyport were some of our favorites. One of our most treasured memories on Arelith of ALL TIME was the Saltspar Prison Battle.
Myryn Blightscar, Changeling, Zhozzad, Nathrakh, Akorae, Lilith Vensurai, Johanthan Rigsby, Ghost, Valthura, Augustus Rex, Iebrol and his Prison Crew. Richard Webber and his Banite Crew. Man, there's a lot more that could go here. Sorry if I forgot you, but if you know you know.

Coming in at the last stretch is Lucretia's Coven! This crew is one of the reasons this thread wasn't posted sooner. Things might've ended in disagreement but these characters are top tier and awesome.
Lucretia herself, Kethra Nagel (RIP), Vestelle, Vama, "Amarylla" (Identity Protected), and the main man Zerich (Slave),

Last but not least, we got Team Good! You're no one if you haven't made some enemies.
Gabriel Blackwood De Leon, Alis Dionadair, Minerva, Sedaene, Galliard Dundarrow, Emilio and the Bannerless, and many from Cordor, Guldorand and the Radiant Heart.

To avoid any more groups, these are the names that come to mind without a specific group I can assign to.

Seraphiel, Obligatory here, amazing RP'er and very complex character. Made the last stretch of the journey really sweet!!
Eduard Helbrecht, this is one I wish we got more time for. There's always the next one!
Avarice, the Devil-man! Making substances with you was real fun. There will definitely be more adventures on other characters.
Elirand, for a cool little druid meeting!
Scorn, The War Stone! 'nuff said.
Mahlia, this was going to be a great little 'frienemy rivalry'! Wish we got to interact more but you're awesome.
Ruby Sylux, you're awesome. You know it. Glad Aellfric and Ru-by got to be friends!
Katya Volkova, MAN!!! Aellfric wanted her as his thrall so badly. The War Boar would've been awesome to unleash on the world!
Helga and Hella Hluti, so glad you guys joined up with us and put up with our shenaniganz. Hope y'all are doing good.

We'll never fade away!

Current Characters

Past Characters
Nastas Moonsight: gone off to Sharandar to settle down and have a family.

Imagine dying to a big fish, couldn't be me.

We got up to a lot of mischief. Here's hoping there's even more mischief in the next!

Awh, I'm sad I missed his death! Aellfric was awesome and felt very real.

I debated for so long slipping some blood into his regular drug diet. And then the bastard had to play on Lucy's feelings and ... Befriend her.

Aellfric and friends were a delight.

I am sad to see his story end and will miss his face around the city, but I am glad I got to be a part of the fun and mayhem while he was present.

He was kinda cool. We were so close to causing some real trouble, but it never quite came to be.
He'll be missed!

Was honestly a blast getting involved with the last beats of your story. Your writing style is something to aspire to. I am very glad to gotten to play a little part in it all. Minerva will be praying for Aellfric's soul. Looking forward to what you cook up next!

your ticket to the future is always open

Definitely going to miss Aell-fric! Was a pleasure to get to play with you again!
Thanks for saving Ru-by from dying on the boat that one time with a very ill-timed yoink on her part. :D

Awh, we were so close to actually form any real connection. Sadly it never came to be. He will be missed!
