While I really only check the forums now, I have to say, just based on the goodbyes and comments so far, seeing someone play a first character to this degree of skill is pretty awesome, and age dying an elf of all things is no small feat. It seems like you had very strong RP and a well developed character, one that evolved over time, which is exactly what they should do.

Good to see CF can still attract players like you, if I ever do play again, which I hope to eventually, I hope to run into a character of yours.
