Argivo built a gravestone to the man Fjodir could have been on the day Fjodir confirmed membership into the Chasm. In Argivo's eyes, that man was dead before they ever met. Ironically, it wasn't too long after that Fjodir passed away in truth.

Every interaction Argivo ever had with you was awesome. I think you really highlighted an area in CF theology that might have been grey to a lot of people with a truly kick-ass character.

I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY interested to hear from you about what could have happened that WOULD have turned Fjodir towards redemption, especially that was under Fort control(pretty please!). Because those of us who were pulling for you believe we did everything we could, although a lot of it was behind the scenes. When a 4 man Baer follower prepped gank squad blows through town during a 7 man upswing and doesn't try to steamroll you, I think that shows a great deal of the feeling that we wanted you to be able to live long enough to be redeemed as long as you didn't threaten anything we protected. Pretty much, focusing on larger dangers when we had the manpower was all we could really give you until you made a commitment to redemption. On the other hand, when I met you independently, I always took a swing, because it was my purpose to remove evil from the land, bar none. We had a odd relationship that was significantly deepened from Argivo's perspective because we shared the same Sphere and you acted in accordance with it, except of course for your tragic flaw.

I think perhaps as a player and a character, you didn't realize how closely you were being watched and weighed by the members of Fort who believed in the chance of your redemption. We were looking for any chance you wanted to make a committment towards renouncing evil. I'm pretty sure, though operating independently, I was a bishop or knight on Illanthos' chessboard.

The "brief period" where you pledged Scion was a major reason why newer members of the Fort, I think, never got the 'hold off' message from at least Argivo. I know that Argivo wrote a missive about it and told everyone else he could, such as bards outside the cabal like Yantha. It was never explained or mentioned, either, and you ignored a few of the people who asked you about it, which really, to Argivo, destroyed street cred Fjodir had built up that there was a chance at redemption.

I was shocked when you continued to not killing lightwalkers( I guess that flirtation with Scion was over for the time being). Just when you had rebuilt up that street cred in Argivo's eyes, you joined Scion.

During those periods of street cred, you created some interesting RP dilemmas for Argivo, such as whether to try to save a battlerager Hunted by the Fortress from you when you had pinned him in that room in Galadon. In the end, the answer for Argivo, as a Baer follower, had to be yes. For that, I picked up your PBF. Thanks!
