So, that was a ride. I made Braolyn when Empire was down to try to get some things going and I always wanted to do a dark-elf healer in Empire. The problem was, the hits started right after I made them. Horro was a Destuvius follower and so was I and I had heard Horro got empowered just not long before I tried to work on my praying and then Destuvius went dormant. I went 150 hours without empowerment, which ultimately made a big drain on the character. I get the IMMs are busy so I do not hold it against Destuvius at all, but it ultimately did ruin some of the fun.

I had some people ask me why I didn't try to change gods. Well, the answer to that is basically a Destuvius follower, to me, is going to struggle to prove themselves and would not stop so I stayed true.

Work has been crazy for me lately, and even Ska seemed to notice and mentioned it to me one day and I knew that that was going to cause issues as well. I wanted to try for Emperor (who wouldn't) so I stayed through the vote and ultimately lost and that kinda sealed the fate of the character.

Ska: Congratulations on Emperor. I never had a chance to tell you because I did not log back in in until the hammer had hit, but we came up together and I was glad that if it was going to be someone, it was one of us. I did end up voting for you.

Noct: I really liked you but as a Destuvius follower, even though we had agreed to vote for each other, I made the choice not to because you got wanted. Whether it was understandable and within the laws of the Empire or not, I did not interact with wanted people and that caused me problems for voting for you. Good luck as you continue, you're a force and I know you can do well.

Vrolah: Thanks for the chats. You were the only other Council member with me for a long time and unfortunately I didn't see you much as a Council member until later.

Empire: I tried my best to try to help you all out. I was almost playing goodie in Empire clothing because I felt that it was more important to build up the Empire versus require everyone to pay for my services in some way. When I found out I could promote, I tried to promote outside of sect as much as I could and I tried to give some gold to people I promoted so I was always out gathering when I could. Keep it up.

Rillan: Thanks for the promotions and everything. In hindsight, I probably should have followed you and I might have found more interest in the character, but as they say, hindsight is 20/20.

Last thoughts. I really would like to see Battle get a full time enemy that can be a real enemy. Even with no Black Sect leaders for a time, I watched Battle go after a very down Empire when there were mage leaders in every other cabal. I'm not sure how to fix it so I do not have any suggestions beyond the aforementioned comment. As a serial Nexus player in the past, it is times like these that make me miss Nexus being around because at least there was a direct enemy that seemed to take the brunt.

Battle enemies: Some of you hunted me more than I saw you hunt others, but with no mages on I guess that was expected. I talked to some of you, specifically Harelkuf and Zsin a decent amount. I didn't talk to some like Iso because they were always wanted and I didn't interact with wanted people (as mentioned above).

Last but not least: People in the Inn. You all made my days more enjoyable as Empire grew a bit. Thanks for hanging out with me.

Enjoyed Braolyn. Trust me when I say I'm sad to see you go.
