It was a fun ride, wasn't it? Tahren was my first hero and by far my only real great time with CF. Your roleplay was phenomenal - I would find myself immersed in our interactions, in turn raising my own personal bar for roleplay with others as well. Hell, I did some research in blacksmithing just to come up with the right technique and terminology to work the forge! I always had to think on my feet to keep up with you, and despite my lack of playing these past few years, I was disappointed to find that you had gone inactive. I figured it was just a matter of time for you to fall out completely - grad school to real work to marriage and now a kiddo. I've only got the first two of the four going for me right now (working on number 3 ) and I know I don't have enough time to devote to CF. I can only imagine how you hung on this long.

For what it's worth, the religion you came up with struck a major chord with my own personal beliefs. The hard work / just rewards concept is something I've always tried to stick to. Why else would I have gone through the hell that is grad school? Yours is probably a good form to follow for upcoming imms and new religions - find something that people can relate to in real life and torque it a little to make it the base of a solid make-believe religion.

As you mentioned, the interactions with you and Warborf showed me just how powerfully immersive and wonderful CF could be, and I've never been able to top it. I have you to thank for it. Sadly, even what, 4 years later, I still fondly bring up the Tahren/Thror months when my friends talk about pen-and-paper RPGs and MMORPGS. Funny how a simple game can stick with you like that. Thanks.
