At 7 o'clock AM, Day of the Moon, 7th of the Month of the Ancient Darkness
on the Theran calendar Renize perished, never to return.

When I rolled up Renize I didn't have many expectations for her lifespan. I wanted to see what the Fields were up to after I'd been gone for 3 years, and one thing led to another and then that led to age death. I felt well-received, but I know I could've buckled down and been more persistent with interactions and with Heraldy stuff, like events and so on. I wrote a ton for this role. In short, Renize was worried about everyone and wanted to make the world better. I'll pick up the PBF soon if anyone wants to dive in to 30 chapters of Renize's anxiety problem. I chose to create the Celestial Exhibition as an answer to my somewhat erratic play schedule so I could involve other people in Heraldy stuff without having to actually schedule events. I'm very thankful to everyone who went out of their way to contribute to it. You really made the effort, and I hope seeing it in the Lyceum eventually is rewarding for you!

Ultra-brief goodbyes:

Daphedee: Thanks for the angst. Thanks for the character development. Renize obsessed over you a little. That much will be apparent.
Whildur: Hands down, fun without peer. Constant raising of the bar. You definitely made me want to be a better Herald.
Aerafr: Tie Osdryn down and have that tale-off. For me. I had to look up what a Moggy was, but the nickname was much preferred to Fleaboat.
Osdryn: You have so much energy! Awesome presence to have in Herald. Keep up the momentum.
Deithiivesra: Saw you very little, but I still think a Herald mummy would be interesting. Good luck.
Gashti: Keep on diving in head first. It's prime entertainment.
Soty: We didn't get much time together but you seem enthusiastic. I hope you're enjoying Herald.
Raltevio: You rock! I am a little sad the art tours idea won't happen. It's true I'd been feeling a little meh about Renize lately, but that idea kind of fired me up. I was doing actual research for it, too!

Laeden: It was mainly you and Daphedee that truly made Renize stick. Thanks again for being you. Hoo boy all the role entries. Oh man. Just oh man.
Ild: I'm very sorry I won't get to see more of you. You became a great friend, and I really enjoyed all our interactions. Love the poetry, too.
Balgrum: Let me wax Acolyte on this Acolyte. I just wanted to give Balgrum a hug all the time. Sorry about the deck.
Mournagr: I am sad I probably won't get to see how you play out what you're doing right now. I hope you are having fun!
Qinsa: Talking to you always made me feel "not cat enough." Always entertaining to come hang out with you.
Selionar: I wish we'd hung out more. I loved this big, protective, sure of himself giant. Enjoy your visits to the Inn!
Tanzer: So when you decided we were cousins, I just ran with it because I figured the alternative was being eaten. Fifty-seventh, forty-three times removed.
Xalcorin: Sorry I won't see your plans to fruition. It was interesting watching the guild stuff morph in one way or another.
Dargatha: I so wanted your align change plans to go through. I was sorry to see you go. Thank you for challenging me a bit.
Jinoquio: I very much enjoyed responding to you with mildly adversarial banter. You're creepy fun.
Ilyenei: Darn age death getting in the way of a budding friendship. Watching you respond to Whildur's shenanigans cracked me up.

If you weren't mentioned, I probably haven't forgotten you (I kept a list). Say goodbye and I'll respond in kind.

You're one of the few people I could easily hang out with for hours and not get bored. You made the most mundane things fun. And you always were such a thankful listener to whatever I wanted to discuss. Bet you would make an awesome guildmaster

Absolutely loved your take on decorator's job, I always struggle with finding things to do with my artistry, when I play a Herald. I know I sulked for a week after Laeden's age death and then I wandered into the Inn as a lowbie and found it decorated with eight statues in the likeness of every form he had, from lion to the lowly coyote... it was both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

It was quite a story, from meeting you to writing my last letter of goodbye. I'm so glad I made the right guesses and we had so much fun helping each other through all the strife that is CF. And there's gonna be a heck of a reunion for our characters in the afterlife.

Cheers.

Oh I hate acrobatics so much. I was always planning on decorating the roads and cities with your body to piss off Laeden, but the damned acrobatics...

Nice character, loved every second of it.

I was waiting for you to get me, but it never happened. I had a lot of fun getting to scold you after each attempt.

Agreed, it was a long journey to get the Rogue to where it is today. The journey won't end with your death. Perhaps a great story shall be written with you in it when the time comes for the Council of Rogues to take hold. Had great fun with our interactions and you definitely allowed Xalcorin to illustrate balance and honesty.

Aw, I was hoping to see more of you, too. Thanks for the talks. You meant a lot to Ild. Good comeback and GLWYN!

It's been a pleasure serving under you! I wish I had known you in your younger years but the few hours and evenings that we spent together, I admired you profoundly. I hope you are back with your next and soon!

Could you give some feedback on your thief build? What did you think of the arcane path? Likes, dislikes?

Renize was instrumental in turning Tanzer from a run-of-the-mill Reaver into something a little more RP-driven, and that made all the difference for me, so thank you.

I'm sorry that I didn't step in the time Kyrrenthia got you on Eastern, it's one of the few regrets I have with the character.

Everything I saw from you was top notch. Well done.

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Didn't realize ye fur was getting that gray.

This really sucks as I enjoyed the character a lot. I also got the impression you had hit a bit of a rut RP-wise for the last few weeks, but recently seemed to show more enjoyment/renewed fun over the last week or so.

Maybe not, but you seemed to have more energy and time to play.

Oh well. You should be proud of the character, you were a good High Herald (I rarely had to do anything- been spoiled for choice in leadership lately.)

Also very fun to be around and consistently RPing when I snooped, even alone.

Best of luck with the next.
