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.

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.
