...Rhinyn Morridar, Ranger of Mauritania, Watcher of Mauritania, Champion of the Heartlands. Born March 1082AF, Died May 1106AF.

Fuh-uk...

Just as Rhinyn was creeping up on being a full two years of played age, he managed to catch one too many enchated crushes to the chest and got thrown through a void gate. In the last two hours of his life, he had been informed about the loss of another Pen Cethren member, been invested as a Watcher of Mauritania, named a Champion of the Heartlands for having been part of the third placed team at the games, and decided that life might just be taking off nicely.

Until two void gates opened and elementals by the wagonload poured out.

The first wave got dealt with nicely, but were all global and striking for enchanted crush. Even in my super-twinked out state of single hit, body dev., endurance and mastercrafted light armour, it only took two of them before I was well and truly dropped. By the time the second gate opened, I must have been poleaxed to the ground about seven times before an elemental (rather than a healer) managed to get hold of me, and started dragging me towards the gate. Even with the long route being taken, I was still more or less at the gate before anyone noticed - and by all accounts quite a few people noticed - and it was too late to do anything about it.

Mortal bodies don't survive well in the Void.

I lasted just under two seconds, almost as long as I had against the elder tainted, and joined what must have been approaching a fifty name long list of casualties at this event. I can't complain - Mindstalker personally killed someone on Saturday night and I suppose it was what goes around coming around at last. It does, however, mean that I'm free to monster both moots while I put together Revek, which will provide me with a fair amount of Gold to bring him in with at the Gathering.

I liked Rhinyn - he was the closest character to me that I played, and he ended up being trusted as one of the Unicorn faction's most l33t scoutz. He had the ear of some very powerful people, quite a few good friends in different groups, and some good backplot that I was hoping would one day come back to be put to rest in whichever way it was decided to be. I had hoped he wouldn't die in a ditch somewhere, stabbed up by the tarantulas for a crime he didn't commit, and he did at least manage to avoid that, but it would have been nice to have played a body for a while. Oh well - maybe Meldir will find a suit of green and brown light armour kicking about next time he goes void fishing.

Out with the old, in with the new.

In my head, I see a dashing figure in flaming scarlet and cream, brandishing a firey war axe, smiting evilness and turning heads wherever he goes. It'll probably end up as me, looking like a american football player and getting dropped like a bad habit ten seconds after every mosh kicks off, but I can but dream...

96? At the Heartland Games? I am right in assuming that this is a fairly high number, yes?

I need to email you about Cadrus Cordus stuff and the Order. Revek will turn up groupless looking to join, but as he's already an incantor of Cadrus I'll need probably more information than I have already - any chance I could pick your brains about it, or is there someone even better informed that I could annoy?

Yup, that would be a lot even for a Moot and about average for the Gathering I would guess. In terms of Cadrus Cornus and Order stuff I can certainly let you know what we've got but as the plot team still haven't passed us any official info despite over three years of asking I can't promise it will be much. If you want to you can chase people up on it for us and we'd be grateful but frankly I've pretty much given up hope of getting anything.

Haven't had any requests. Let me know what you're after hon and I'll sort it for moots. If I don't sort it for moots, tell me and I'll sit and talk you through stuff.
