7 o''clock PM, Day of the Moon, 28th of the Month of Nature on the Theran calendar Braiden perished, never to return.

Race:	human
Class:	assassin
Level:	51
Alignment:	Good
Ethos:	Chaotic
Cabal:	DAWN, the Servants of the Dawn
Age:	74
Hours:	482
PK Ratio:	9% (closer to 100% is better)

Don't know what the chances of you reading this are, but I thought you might find it funny that the assassin that ranked by himself was also the oldest youngest member of dawn. *chuckles* It was nice knowing you from both fields. As Fleason you were pretty much the only "friend" that hung around. As Tibs it was just cool to see you from a leader aspect and watch how you handled things. Well good luck on your next man. See you in the fields.

All Hail King of the Fountain!
Well Ol' timer, sorry to see you go, seems your health didn't give out on you after all. I didn't get to interact with you much in the last days, since my attentions were elsewhere with real life and incarnations of other names. Seems with the loss of you and Tink I should be spending more time as Fleurise to keep the faith shining. Thanks for bringing me into the fold, and for the talks we had.
fare thee well, dear

You were always a blast to hang around with, we had a whole bunch of good times. Sorry I wasn't around as much at the end, some changes in Estaveo's life as a char dropped off how much fun I was having with him, as did some other factors outside the game. Good luck with the next one.

Well I was putzin' around today, and I can't believe I forgot someone...

Elshadir-The greatest assassin ever, you were the man, and a great friend, sorry, for some reason your name just slipped my mind..Always around to explore and just bs, man, it was great, thanks for the good times...


Braiden

I liked you, I knew you and stuff. You were a good apostle. Of all the people in the fort, only a couple struck me as really deserving to be there (due to ic issues with big organizations).
I hope to meet up with you again, take care.

Please dont write back asking me to do more
I have been busting my ass the last few days trying to save
my reputation.

mutters

'100% pure discordian catma'
-Yeah, principia again

You're as much king of the fountain as my ragged old cloak.
Everyone knows that I'd win those fights fair and square. If only Elvam hadn't cheated I'd send him running too. :)

Doralion

Braiden,


I knew that you were a little bit of a newbie, but so am I, even after almost 5 years in CF. It doesn't matter to me, however, what your playing skill is, you were a nice bloke who seemed to be a good apostle. Apostles of Dawn don't necessarily have to know kill groups of three or have a high pk ratio, to me it was living out virtues of love, patience, goodness, temperance, sacrifice, which are a lot harder than emotional fixes gained on having good gear or killing people.

I hope that playing a Dawnite helped you learn about yourself and your own failings, the way playing Bessian showed me my own. As for our bard friend, on hindsight, I think I let it get to me a bit too much, even in real life, which correspondingly led to an own internal audit about my response, which I think aids me in future ones.

Bessian

Damn I'll miss you and I felt like I just started to get to know you. Even when I wasn't with dawn you'd take your time to speak with me. I didn't even plan to become a member of dawn it's just that our conversations were so good and I felt like, I don't know, just wanted to prove myself to you for some reason. Well Master Braiden, good night and thanks for the rose.

Teeka

well well, there goes another one....fun playing with ye...and all that good luck with yer next char

I don't know what to say. This character had such a huge impact on me, that I don't know where to start or what to say. It has been a blast, and I am sure this will be long, so stick with me. Braiden was my first character in about a year and a half, my second hero, and my third character overall. I made him as a character I could explore all the new areas with, and explore I did. Fantastic place you folks have here, and there is still so much more to learn. I had toyed with becoming a servant for a long time, but I couldn't get the gaul to go interview, because I really suck at that kind of thing. I finally decided to join when I got really pissed off at how a servant had treated me, and I figured I would join and be the example of how I thought a servant should be. So I made it in at level 48 and it was nothing like I expected. There were not many servants, and the ones that were there never showed on a consistent basis, with the exception of a few. Another reason I joined was for the immteraction(tm). I was so close to the haven bunch back in late 99, like grylon, talia, eryndorial, talmon, and they always had quests going, I figured it was still the same way. I did get to partake in one quest and that was a blast, too bad I wasn't there for the end, it was kind of a let down, but you can't win them all. Anyways, i suppose some thanks are in order, so here goes nothin'

Imms-Fantastic game you have here, Keep up the good work.
Eryndorial-What can I say, thanks for everything, the shot at apostle, the con quest, the immteraction, I really hope I didn't let you down, I tried my best and played it the way I thought it should be done. You are nothing short of fantastic, and I hope you keep it up.
Scarabaeus-Yeah, I know I suck at rp, and standing next to you on countless occasions, I really felt out of my league. Thanks for turning me into a frog(toad?) and one rounding me, it was enjoyable.
Jacynth-I approached you shortly after you went to scion, I really had no reason to, but we use to run together some when you were a mortal, so I figured I would give it a try. Once again, I was outta my league in the RP department. Well done.
Arvam-Please forgive gabinetto, he meant well with those off color comments. Really he did.
Shokai-wish I could have interacted with you more, most of the time you were talking to your maran, and it was a private affair. Ah well, you can't win them all.
The twins-what limited immteraction we had was just watching you two with the warlocks. I think I am going to be one soon. Well done.

Dawn-where to begin here.....God this is harder than I thought it would be.
Seralyn-Thanks for the induction, I know my interview must have sucked, I really put very little thought into it, and I know it showed. I was a total newbie.
Satinka-Dear satinka, this character will always have a special place in my heart, it seems like most of my life as a servant was spent with you. You were great, and baby satinka added so much flavor to the game that I felt small in comparison. Good job.
Gabinetto-Goat! wish you hadn't gone to the darkside(heh, not meant to sound cheesy), You were easily one of my best friends, and one of the reasons this character was so enjoyable.
Ambrose-I really don't know what to say here, you pissed me off with that whole greed for clothing thing. It left a bad taste in my mouth.
Elvam and doralion-Since we did officially start the king of the fountain, the three of us, I just wanted to say that I am still the king! ;P
Tannice-What the hell? Why did you delete a day or two after your wedding? I enjoyed our interaction, and I had hoped to help you hero.
Nehydeus-Jumpin' Dwarf, You were the #####! Thanks for all the laughs and good times.
Serniae-Too bad you deleted serniae, you had a very solid character, and it was always a pleasure to speak to you.
Ispard-God of the spear! I will never forget when we made you that title, and I saw the words "There are gods, and then there are GODS!" flash up on my screen, I was rolling, it was great. Another great friend, and I told you, you would make a good apostle.
Wemnar-Hah! That time Me, eryn, and ispard shaved you was priceless. A great apostle you are and a great friend, thanks for all the support.
Tibaloa-For gods sake, hero you punk! Oldest and youngest member of dawn, all at the same time. Good luck, I know those ragers are a pain sometimes.
Fleurise-Always a pleasure. You have a fine character there, and I was always happy to see you around.
Khaleel-The undead man! Great playing, and thanks for all the jabs and humor, you kept me on my toes most of the time.
Grunkenheim-Can't say I agreed with you ever, you pulled a serious 180 from when I interviewed you, ah well, can't say it really effected me much. Hope you decide to come around and play again sometime.
Teeka-Beautiful but deadly. I really like this character and I hope you stick it out, I will definitly look for you in the future.
Krinax-Damn the bar tests, You were another favorite, really enjoyed hell, hope you did too, and yeah, I knew it was you.
Rurne-Keep up the good work, but show up more often.
Stezxmon-I want my trip damnit! I have a pretty good idea why I didn't get it too. Great job.
Vlakeney-Okay, I don't mean to be rude, but you were a total putz.
Kadessa-Why oh why did you delete. I really like kadessa, and I hope you are back in one form or another.
Elarion-Not much interaction, but was enjoyable that which we did have.

Maran
Pohanad-I was so new to this game when I met you, that I thought your drunken speech was a cool style of RP. When I got drunk for the first time, I felt like a fool. Fatty P was the #####! No doubt about that, great job, good luck as an imm, and too bad you never got to marry me to lew.
Arriell-Where the hell did you go?
Bessian-Always a pleasure, and my feelings were exactly the same towards our little bard friend.
Yetharien-Tower, Go! Haven, Go! Great job here, and I wish you lots of luck as an imm.
Johan-I loved the fist off the armor thing so much, I actually caught myself trying it a couple of times, great job, and a true maran and friend.
Jubair-Desert rat! Great job, sahib.
Vilaeren-Sweet play, and we always seemed to be around at the same time, an enjoyable experience, no doubt.
Gynax-Damn you for con dying, and well done, you were a trooper till the end.
Varick-You are an excellent maran as well, I just hope you hero sometime, and assassinate the ##### outta some people.

Warlock
Lewellyn-My love, My life, Braiden always hated when you were mad at him. Sometimes hot, and sometimes cold, always added depth to my existence, Thanks for all the memories.
Annalena-I always felt like you thought I was a fool, Don't know why, but I did, anyways, great job as oracle, and fine rp.
Andulvar-Great job as magister, you were a killer.
Airella-Always a pleasure.
Kethryllia-You too, it was always a pleasure.
Karithia-Loved the vampire take, and I would have made you a servant had you really wanted it. Always a great time with you around, sniffing at the air around me.
Arvidor-You drunk bastard! I did beat you in a drinking contest! *wry*
Kastury-A great friend, and I whooped the croc's arse. You just don't know it yet. You taught me a hell of a lot.
Conradin-No, those two healers won't save you from the wrath of the king of the fountain!
Ymerjyn-Come on pokey! Hurry up and hero!
Shane-Thanks for all the spells, a sneaky little guy you were.
Allashanstra-The great horned owl! Always made me feel good when you would swoop down and nuzzle up to me, then fly away.
Mealrocan-Great invoker, One of the few who I felt accepted me from the get go. I even think you were around when I got inducted.
Annastrianna-Where did you go? I was hopin to travel a lot more with you. Great job.
Sintainet-I never died to an alligator until I sparred you, all I can really say is OUCH!
Dastian, thevequn, parcimius-Thanks fellas, for all the great times.
Kerfta-Move your elven arse over, I want some room on this cloud too. Don't make me drop another kerfta corpse right here ;P.
Modion-I am the king! and don't you ever forget it!

Sylvan
Raukyr-The man, the myth, the mighty felar legend. I wish you could have been around some these last days. You were my best friend, don't know if you realized it. You taught me a load of stuff! Thanks for all the fun. Blindness dust is king!
Cronin-I just want you to know, that when you ambushed lokilith that one time in front of scarab, I had to stand back and say holy #####! I never saw someone die so fast, and I was trying to be polite when you returned, I was laughing the whole time. Great job Conscience(sp?), and at least you got your things back.
Ezilhecil-Was that you that smoked me when we were sitting in emerald, and kravidian walked by? Damn my bad luck, and well done.
Plyate-Always a pleasure, we didn't really interact much except greetings, and scion spottings, but I did want to thank you for the time you took to answer any sylvan questions I had, about race, and gear and whatnot. Well played.
Jugynheim-Hope those axes helped you when you were young, don't know why, but I gave you more than I gave most, and I think you will be a fine lieutenent.

Battle
Davrin-Thanks for not smoking me in the underdark, when I took off those woven bracers, I was hoping you wouldn't see it, as I tried to take them off during movement spam. Too bad you left, thought you had a solid character.
Armand-Was good talking to you, a well played character, and had I had more life at the end, I would have lost it to you during those raids, but I was runnin real short. Good play, and hope to run across you again.
Sharisalk-I remember talking to you in the guild one day, you asked me if I was a merchant from somewhere because of the ring I had in my nose. Great thought put into this character, and good job on becoming leader.

Troupe
Carmenella-What happened? Loved talking to you, you were always so happy and full of energy, hope to run across you in the future, hope I didn't bore you with all my new discoveries, I had to tell someone though.
Mithrambor-The man! I really wish you hadn't deleted, you were a very close friend, and I enjoyed all our time. Hope to cross paths in the future.
Tindarelin-Very little interaction, but what we did have was enjoyable.
Ancelina-Why did you have to go and break estaveo's heart? Good character, enjoyed the cooking.

Entropy
Gratch-I only interacted with you, because I remembered you from the days I was in entropy a while back, enjoyable all around.
Iriogam-Pwettiest ohc eva! I loved it! Braiden had a serious soft spot for you, and I loved your RP. You were undoubtedly THE #####!
Nazguaga-Damn you, Damn you, Damn you, I had no idea that dopple threw off spirit sight. *grumble* Always the little one in trouble, and always in a spot I couldn't hide. Hope you enjoyed the one sided fights.

Nexus
Tiberianus-Ugh, Not much more than Ugh! Tiger/golden eagle = Ouch braiden. Had a blast speaking to you though, never knew if I could trust you or not. Well done.
Szchada-I really wish you had been something other than nexus, I enjoyed our interactions, and would have had a lot more, but I could never really trust you IC. Nexus is a wierd thing. Hope to cross paths again someday.
Bladjix-Damn you for killing me so fast at the inn. Heh, well played, always huffing along and poking ##### with your polearm. Always knew we could expect you.
Ecksits-Yeah, that lion hurt, alot.
Paiho-My first solo PK at hero, of course you got me back a few days later, well done.
Leius and caelph-Not much interaction with you two, wish I could have had more.

Scarab
Drucyrus-Good job, forum posting or not, I still think you are well suited to your role. Hope you enjoyed that phylactery of free movement at nexus that time I tried to strangle you on the river.
Qxorlarran-You will never know how many tells I got asking me if you were in the realms, you struck fear into quite a few people, thank god I could see the shadows ;P.

Scion-Ugh, I was fodder
Daemelin-Imagine my breaking heart when I realized too late that I couldn't vanish in my cabal. Tiger! Eat my heart out! I told you I was dancing when I got a lucky blindness dust, and you left as mongoose.
Lokilith-Not much talking, but that gargoyle/porcupine was fierce. Great job.
Cadmann, yboedar, meheir-Hope you enjoyed all the axe charges.
Reddyn-Loved the rp, loved the interaction, you were the man. Good job on liching, I was happy to see you made it, but you never did seek redemption from skyborn. *grumble*
Ryfivin-Yeah, ouch, Yeah, ouch again. Thieves were my biggest problem, too bad you deleted so early, but I always asked raukyr to set up ambushes for you guys in the mountains.
Relixez, vadpoker, landruum-Well played assassins, I am sure I died to you all a time or two.
Ritrav, and cuvatar-Damn you both, Necros kicked my arse quite often, and you two are no exception, well played.
Kravidian and vaustrien-Well done on both counts, I hated when you were around. God I hated it. Heh, but that what makes it fun.
Tikar-Damnit! I hope you enjoyed all the charges! I was so happy when you finally fell.
Hedge duck-Same with you, hope you enjoyed the charges, and good luck in the upcoming NHL season ;P
Waskes-Damn, another necro, we fought a few times, and yeah, I always died.
Avoiwoo-I can honestly say that I didn't die to you, and thanks for heartseeker.
Venorsh-Damn the polearm, and well played.
Carrock-I was only talking that ##### to you IC, I hope you know that, No harm intended, I was usually bored and was hoping to interact some.
Ruufus-Damn the duergar's! Yeah, I died.

Others
Serhanin-Thanks for all the great times, haven't seen you much lately, but it always felt good to who pk and see you around.
Estaveo-You always reminded me of the lone gunman. Great job, and too bad you haven't been around lately. You were truly a good friend.
Sokera-BAH! I would have whooped that lemur! and you know it!
Gryeil-I was sorry when you deleted, another great friend, and good fighter.
Amberion-too bad you said the words, I had faith you would have made maran sooner or later.
Thalmond-The ram man! You were another one braiden really like, always there with a nice word, or something else to brighten things up.
Fleason-Takes some serious sack to rank up by yourself, good job, and good luck on the next.
Anndora-You have alot to learn, and I know your current character, lets hope you have learned some things.
Ilanagurath-You killed my Backpack!
Vonaxim-Always a trip.


Anyways, thanks to everyone for the great times, and memorable experiences. This has by far been my most successful character to date, and I enjoyed every second of it. The one thing I really resent about braiden is his lack of role, I had absolutely nothing, and I felt like I let some people down with that fact. As far as the 9% PK goes, Who cares, I had a blast, and re-equipping is easy. Once again, eryn, I hope I didn't let you down as apostle, and thanks for having faith in me. This was my first leader, and the interview thing was challenge. I never made my interviews very hard, and It was more interacting with those I was interviewing, rather than actually interviewing. I think I turned down one person the entire time I was apostle, though maybe I didn't. Can't remember. For those of you interested, my past characters were
Battalion, level 30 warrior, entropy, in the first age
Akashia, Assassin heroine, strengthener of the status quo, entropy in late 99.

Anyone who wants can drop me a line at
Braidenofdawn@hotmail.com

Thanks again, and I'll see you in the fields
Braiden

To those who know, I am, and I always will be




THE KING OF THE FOUNTAIN! WOO HOO!

And for anna, I will always be the


RULER OF THE ICEDRAKES!


Come, feel my wrath
Braiden

though you seemed cool. was actually thinking I'd gonna loose against you.

I think I became the Queen of the Fountain, you should have lost your position. *chuckle*

It was fun, thanks for everything. What you mean by solid? *shrug* You did a great job, thanks for letting me poke in some of the interviews.

One last thing, your secret is safe with me! *chuckle*
send me a message sometime at Serniae@hotmail.com
or talk to me on AIM at WindofFaith

Thanks
Serniae Kordeav-Hall, the Heart of the Hummingbird, Servant of the Dawn

And one more thing

Dawn
Serrina-I really suck at words sometimes, I hope I didn't come across wrong when I talked to you the other day. I think you are a fine servant, keep up the great work.


If I missed anyone, just shout out and I will reply.

Braiden

I would have liked to travel more with you too, but the balance always seemed to be the tipped the wrong way. As far as the nexus mistrust thing goes, I think people who get pissed off at them should play one sometime. I know I understand it now when the nexan in my group has to go swanning off and will be after my blood in about five minutes time. I don't play a nexan any more, but the current bunch seem pretty honest.

Well... what can I say we had some fun times. You were one of
the most fun people I did travel with.
Too bad you delete was hopeing to see you before age took you
or your body gave out. But we had fun hope I meet you in another
form sometime

Ispard

Gabinetto-Goat! wish you hadn't gone to the darkside(heh, not meant to sound cheesy), You were easily one of my best friends, and one of the reasons this character was so enjoyable.


Well damn. I'm not looking forward as much now to the things I have in the works for Gab, since quite a few of them revolved around you being in the Dawn still. *sigh* You were Gabs best friend, after Gynax fell. When I first joined, Gab was in awe of you. Then we interacted and I got closer to you, and even after I found out who you were OOC, I still managed some awe. You really played your role well, and stuck to it at all times. I relied on you to talk me down when I wanted to go loping off, tearing into Scions, Ragers or Scarabs. We killed together, died for each other on many trips together, and both mocked all the same people. You were like a brother to me, and I'm still not sure how your death will affect Gab yet, but it won't be pretty.

Take care.

*frown*

Another friend gone *sigh*. I will miss you alot Braiden. You helped give me a lot of hope in things, especially with my own life (or so how I roleplayed it *smile*). I hope to you see in another form soon!

Karithia El'feanor, Slayer of the Bloodied Fiend

In my mind Braiden was the coolest dawnite by far. Yeah I was around when you got inducted. Remember you telling me that you hated the whole interview thing so was pretty happy when you finally got in. You where also always keen to help me and others when we needed it wether it be retrieving or whatever.
Must say my first impression of you was - holy ##### this guy dies more than me. Seems I was always seeing Braiden corpses lying about the place. But it never seemed to bother you overly much and well I liked that in a character. Hope you enjoy your next as much as this one.

I do not think anyone died more then I..and you know it!!!

Well I really don't know what to say, but thanks for the interaction. I really had a blast when we drank and hung out, hell anytime for that matter. You were always someone I was extremely glad to see was on whenever I logged on. Great character, hope to see you in the fields soon.

Fatty P.

You deleted? Hmph, did you lie when you said you were down to
your last death or did you just happen to live out that last
life all the way up until now?

Anyways yeah that was Ezelhecil which smoked you when I walked
by. Man that was really f-ing funny. Hated it when I was hiding
around stalking a Fortresser w/ Vaustrien and being ratted out
to one of the many archon wielding Conjurers. Heh tried to be
rough on you as well as every other Assassin Fortresser, gotta
maintain superiority in the shadows (All you damned military
people who play this should agree with that tactic, heh).
Anyways, your new character seems to have the toughness to make
up for all your deaths with Braiden. Kick some more ass.

Kravidian

Imagine what? I'm still playing (despite all my weak attempts not to :-)).
So I'm looking forward to meeting you in your next char.
Braiden was very well played and a perfect leader for Dawn, and Gryeil's best friend.
Good luck, man!

I think you were the one apostle that I knew the least about. I always used to show up at the maran, and there you would be doing something fun. It's too bad I didn't get to interact with you more than I did. You seem like a lot of fun to be around.

Good luck.

Braiden was a pretty damned cool guy.

I wish I had a third as much fun with this character as you seemed to with yours :) You just never seemed to get bored.

Johan

Ezilhecil-Was that you that smoked me when we were sitting in emerald, and kravidian walked by? Damn my bad luck, and well done.

Man, I felt bad about that(but actually I didn't kill you, the golem did). I am talking with you and Raukyr and debating with a young conjurer when Kravidian all of a sudden shows up. I set up a wall and cone of cold(because you and Raukyr were grouped and I didn't realize that I wasn't in the group) and you basically die in the two rounds. Sorry. Good character btw and good luck on your next.

One more leaving, not many left... :( Though I had fun the times we traveled. I think I was hunting with you when you where arround rank 45 or so... Before you became a dawnie... Damn, I wish I didn't deleted! I wish I wouldn't have said the words.

See you arround on the fields!

Sad to see you go, as I had a few more nuzzles in store for you... I always had good times speaking with you, you might be a better roleplayer than you think...

Take care friend, I hope you will return...

'Shanstra

I took...an extended vacation. I'm yet to decide if I'll return, as I've grown apart from CF these days. Well done, and I enjoyed the interactions we had. I will comment that I saw potential in you before you joined the servants, and was probably the least surprised when you became apostle. You mentioned another char of mine up there, from my past, and I was amused to see that I played such a similar role in interacting with your previous character. Good luck to you in the future, sorry I took so long to respond.

Serhanin
(Dremerunr@aol.com)

Ah ha you deleted! And you never beat me! Wooohoooo!
I think I pretty much eat up quite alot of your cons during the brawl with my crocodile and walrus, but you should have fled!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I'm sorry for taking up so much of your con. See ya in the field.

I knew you'll get Apostle which is why I forced you to do that interview that time. Why did you delete anyway? Anyway you're an interesting character. Well done

As the Ancient says my love, although we wasn't born on the same day which is what we wish, but we die together on the day same which is the least we can get.

I had fun, alot of fun with you. So much that I can't express with words. You are/were great. Thanks for everything.

-Lew
