At 9 o'clock AM, Day of the Great Gods, 5th of the Month of the Long Shadows
on the Theran calendar Nirilas perished, never to return.

To me you really came across as a powerful healer. Just curious why you chose arial. I've never seen an arial healer.

From his post five posts below yours.

>Nirilas was conceived after I made a post on Dio's asking why there were so few successful arial healers. The response that I got was that human/halfie/elf/drow/wood-elf offered a lot more RP opportunities and that arial RP was not exciting. I Dio's response as challenge and I set out to make Nirilas. I also wanted to try a "custom empowerment" path, so Nirilas came about!<

There you go!

Loved you even if you did out empower me Really good role, really well played character, cant believe you only had 273 hours thats insane, although some days I would pray that you or Laeranna(?) or Kalarius or Shaw would log on. When everyone was consistent I'd know that I only had to hold out for another irl hour and one of you would show I tried to keep things interesting for you after I went, coming at you from different with other characters. Trying to get a hook in, so we could go explore one thing or another as I really enjoyed all those adventures we had.

I also liked that you would bring your more current experiences into your rp, and it was weird to hear you talking about Gleebrok weeks after I deleted, but I think added to the whole three dimensional roundedness of character.

May the Bibunal live on!!!! GLWYN

Sad we couldn't mess around some more. I particularly liked how you'd come hang around the inn when you had some spare time, sad that you stopped logging on after awhile.

A very distinctive personality and I thought the constant preaching was pretty cool. I also liked your custom description, totally badass.

Now it's over, and you leave right after. Damn shame, I actually pushed for you to be made provost, but Im enough of a realist to know marcatis isn't going to unleader someone to stop the war. Don't take it personally, the war was a long time coming, and I've been itching to take the village in directions other commanders haven't taking it. War on unconventional cabals is one of many things I thought was interesting. Your Rp was crisp, interations were solid, and I generally liked your character. Good luck with the next.

Thanks, Nuk. I appreciate it. I'm afraid in some of our interactions, you got the nastier side of Nirilas. I actually reflected on our communications over the course of that one week and decided to scale it down a notch. It was all IC, but probably a bit overboard on my side. I love the ranger Commander! I enjoyed the War. (I was getting a bit protective of the Spire because typically PK skill of a villager > 10x PK skill of a Magistrate.) Cheers!

Nirilas was conceived after I made a post on Dio's asking why there were so few successful arial healers.

I also wanted to try a "custom empowerment" path, so Nirilas came about!

Nirilas' backstory/background/beliefs were a result of a couple of days worth of casual reading of various creation stories/beliefs - primarily African, but with some influences from the Pacific Islands and Native American philosophy. Nirilas being an arial, Great Raven seemed like a perfect fit. I also wanted to be "over the top" soothsayer in the hopes of generating some attention to the story.

FIRST: Thank you to the immortals for making CF. Reading the posts on Dio's and main website, I realize it may often feel thankless. I assure you there are many out there that are eternally grateful to you for providing this exciting immersive environment, free of charge!

SECOND: I cannot tell who appeared to me as the Great Raven in my dreams, etc., but this interaction was OUTSTANDING. When my heals started saying "Great Raven heals your wounds" and all the other blessings, etc. became linked to Great Raven, it was a triumphant moment for me from the RP standpoint. Thank you for all the rewards, thank you for recognizing my role and thank you for making it fun for me.

THIRD: To the players of CF, I really appreciated all of the interactions. Even with some of the interactions being less pleasant, you allowed Nirilas to flesh out his role and goals and actions. There were too many influential characters to list. If you reply, I will be certain to follow up.

ON TRIBUNAL: I love Tribunal. While some people find it boring, I approach it as a Cabal that encourages an exploration based character.
You MUST have a plan of what to do when things get boring, if you don't - you won't last. Right now, Tribunal is stagnating, I encourage the community to lift it up a bit out of stagnation.

ON EVILS IN TRIBUNAL: I don't know how much is appropriate to reveal (if Marcatis allows me to speak about this, I will give my viewpoint). One thing I'll say is that it is NOT just a pact between Kalarius and the Fortress, it goes way beyond that. It was one of Nirilas' goals to bring evil back into the Spire, but he was not able to accomplish it.

MARCATIS: I love interacting with you. We did not get a chance to interact much, but I knew you were always around. Thanks for everything! (To the commnity - if you have not extensively interacted with Marcatis, you are missing out!)

ULTIMATELY: My goal was to make CF a more fun place with a character that was a bit of an oddball. I tried my hardest not to loot (I felt awful for taking prayer beads from a corpse to identify them, and having the person quit before I could give them back). I tried to be pleasant (within RP reasons) to everyone. And I tried to apply the "Golden Rule" - treat others the way you want to be treated.

THANK YOU ALL!

Nirilas Skel'cera the Soothsayer, Adjudicator of the World Below, Provincial Magistrate

Artenno Maq'tur the Salty Surgeon of the Spire, Corsair of Neltouda, Provost Magistrate

Vythigor the Dedicated Student of Law, Provost Magistrate

(Yes, I love healers and I love Tribunal. I am a horrible PKer and healers give me the RP opportunities and the survivability that I crave!)

Most confess I always felt a bit guilty not getting more into what your religion was about. You seemed to have something fun going though. But couldn't rationalize Aje caring even if I was very interested ooc.

Glad you have fun and GLWN

Reading your message I don't get why you're deleting. Lots of life left, excellent RP and awarded thusly. Bored? It's a real shame you're deleting. Tribs need good people right now and most, it's sad to say, are not around enough, not nearly enough. Liked your RP tons, though it seemed you soothsayed at some awkward times. Almost like a religious tourettes, not that thats a bad thing... BALLS!!!....

Excellent roleplaying, although I will admit, the first time I met you I thought you were just another drama queen (Skeeta is a drama queen MAGNET, baby!) However, I was proven wrong and Nirilas proved to be an interesting character to interact with time and time again.

Maybe try out Herald for your next, eh?

I really liked talking to you. It was fun discussing our religions. I really liked your creativity. Once you became Provincial, I felt you sliding off. I sent a tell few times and didn't get any response. And then you would log off.

Thanks for all your help. GLWYN

Thank you. Liked our talks! On logging off, our timing ALWAYS seemed to overlap where I was about to log and you were just logging on. Nirilas started getting discouraged after the deletion of Gleebrok/Shaw and failing to find ways to restore balance to the Spire (i.e., bringing in evils).

Never quite trusted you though.
Good luck with the next.

I really wanted the Spire to be independent. It was my goal not to get too chummy with the Empire (based on prior feedback I got regarding Vythigor) and at the same time, I did not love the pact between the Spire and the Fortress re evils and though supportive of it, was thinking of ways to change the situation. You were correct not to be fully trusting of me!!!

I added a role entry specifically about you, and how you had to be stopped. Now it's a dead end

Seemed like a deep character, and I enjoyed the talk we had. I thought it was especially funny me talking to you in town while wanted with imperials walking by thinking "why the hell isn't he killing him?"

Thank you! I really enjoyed talking to you and Zosi - before deleting I started thinking - you know, when you like your enemies way more than you like your allies - perhaps it's time to let the guy go!
