It's a pretty horrible feeling seeing both your name and Grumorum's name on the forum, for obvious reasons.

I grew attached to Rhuean, simply because his acts of heroism were by far the most inspiring events I've seen in a long time. You took bravery to another level, and regardless of your shortcomings as a defender, you were willing to accept them and try to find ways around them. I remember seeing you go toe to toe with an invoker using these hit and run tactics where most defenders would not have even attempted an attack.

You were willing to sit down with villagers and applicants and explain the many different ways to accomplish the same goal. Your position as drillmaster was not a gift, it was well earned and Grubbin now holds a second to that title

Thank you. For showing the village what a Student of War really is. You matured as a warrior and as a villager and became a role-model to a cabal that is fast becoming the most hated cabal of Thera.

The Rites were incredible, sadly I was busy busting cheaters during most of it. I did manage to see a point where you had Huraz just inches away from death. That must have had the blood going for both of you. I'll say that I would have been content to see either of you as leader, since both of you deserved it.

Intronan and I had a particular defender quest skill in the works for you. It's a shame things ended sooner than we thought. I had hoped that con would allow you at least another month or so, but apparently you burned right through it

Anyhow, I'm sure Intronan and I will manage to find a way to honor your memory. Thanks for the dedication and great job.
