on the Theran calendar Aearonor perished, never to return.

Class:	bard
Level:	51
Alignment:	Neutral
Ethos:	Neutral
Cabal:	HERALD, the Heralds of the Eternal Star
Age:	69
Hours:	98

Thank you immortals for running a great game and thank you for
everyone I interacted with for some great times. I cannot seem to get
into a long-lasting character these days. I've limited time to play
(which often comes at bursts) and I just cannot quite hit my stride.

Whiysdan: You're always a blast of fresh air. I had very odd play
hours and did not see much of you, but I always knew you were there
and watching!

Neltouda: I was shuddering at the fury of the storm ICly following
the announcement of the Adventurer's Guild. That was incredibly fun.
And a complete blunder on my part for leaving you out, but it led to some
great interactions - so is it wrong to say that, in retrospect, I'm glad I did?

Heralds: Outstanding bunch. Frankly, the best crop of the Heralds
I've seen since I started playing a few years ago.

A couple of reflection points post Aearonor:

1/ I have the hardest time coming up with role updates. I think I
have fun/engaging initial roles but struggle with role updates beyond
"I joined XYZ cabal and met ABC people" - which I find a bit dry.

2/ I have hard time telling whether my quirky roles are successful.
I suppose I need to buy some PBFs to see.

3/ For some reason, compared to my other bards, Aearonor felt weak -
seemed like he got hit a lot even with Swashbuckler edge and I died
some stupid deaths.

4/ Distortion Opportunist was not worth it for me for the edge point
cost. I should have gotten Killing Joke instead.

5/ Would love to see some more comedic and epic instruments. There
seem to be a good variety of tragic and romantic, tough frankly more
tragic would be nice as well.

6/ One of these days I'll learn the secret of the Ship in the Sea of
Despair.

This makes me sad. I thought this character was a solid Herald, and I would be thrilled to have another of this quality in the cabal. I'm glad you enjoyed the interaction following the note to all. I think sometimes Neltouda's roughness can be taken a little too seriously by players. It was all IC fun. Good luck with the next.

It was super fun. You did not come out rough at all and did a great job projecting the fury of the storm. I felt that I did not hurt your feelings but rather slighted you and there was Hell to pay (deservedly).

I've a two year old and play times are few and far between. I need to find my stride where I can play 10 hours a week and still keep the depth.

I really enjoyed what I saw of this character. Too bad things didn't work out. I saw you going a long way.

Fun companion, honest person. Thanks for the cool staff which you just gave me, though you needed something else to replace it for some practice. I almost completely missed the matter and you didn't said me a word about it. See you on Fields!
