I know who you are, and honestly don't like you }> But I'll stick to being nice.

Eh I was mastering weapons for a warrior I know I wanted, but didn't know what I wanted. I got ganged, so hey, there goes that option.
>>So hey, let's try and >>rebuild Empire! >Great. But stick with your idea.
I did for 80-90 hours.

Enemies - Scions/Warlocks/etc Friends - noncabals/newbies

80-90 hours of consistancy is enough in my opinion from SOMETHING. I don't care if zulghinlour pissed on my head from the clouds, SOMETHING is better than nothing.

Llorenthos had a river named after him, and it was my role that I was named after him - I wanted to revive his spirit to talk about the Empire. Thror told me no god truly dies, so maybe Agathocles would answer. Mynawk, was the last hour of my char.
I decided for Saraba at about 90 hours because of a lot of long talks with Sandahl, Initiate of the Great Wild Beast. It fit in, that I was being betrayed and saw how blind everyone was.

Nah, won't make me cry - I still hate you though }>
