Woohoo! Who’s ready to reminisce? This is going to be really long so just bare with me. Ekirhal was my first heroine. I rolled her around March 2000. She was 1011 years old last time I logged her. I had been playing CF on and off for several years and realized I really didn’t know all that much and was tired of getting my ass handed to me all the time. I decided to use Ekirhal as a learning tool. To learn as much as I could about as many things as I could. Her role/journal are written as though she was my first character. I have a 19 page role/journal I kept for her in the earlier years. I won’t post it here but if anyone wants to read it just shoot me an email. I’ll go ahead list everyone that had any kind of impact on her (in no particular order). Some names will be accompanied with specifics… others will just be mentioned (sorry if there are duplicates):

Detholis (wood-elf) told me of ragers and showed me how to get some nice traveling boots (Thanks!!), Lunsivenl (conjurer) my first husband who later tried to kill me because he disappeared for a while

If I missed anyone I’m sorry. I had a ton of fun with Ekirhal. I know WHY I was kicked out of Troupe but I don’t know who did it and I thought the way it was done was very wrong. This was my first char to ever receive a special title. Thanks to the imm who interacted with me and the Mirotrem at the bar that night. Thanks everyone! See you in the fields.
