The Theran Mystique - Volume 2, Issue 6
OBITUARIES

Those literate of you who actually lived long enough to read the last
issue of our Mystique might remember that I put a stop to obituaries to
utter morons undeserving of ink and parchment wasted on them. Well seems
that my harsh words did not go unnoticed. Three of distinguished Therans
dived into abyss in order to fill this section.


The First

There is always a first, but I strongly doubt that this one shall be
followed by many or any. He had only one life to live but he did it with
style. This beast ranger drew attention even as he ranked his peculiar
persona cheering and irritating those around him. Upon reaching pinnacle
he fought and he prevailed, joined with infamous pirate crew but never
pillaged with them. I am not used to giving out compliments in heaps so
I'll stop. For reasons unknown he threw himself in Mashadar's path who
ended his only life quickly. In ages rare have made as strong impression
on this scribe. Farewell Aranoth, may abyss serve you well.


The benign one

One of two Warmasters in this issue's obituaries deserved his place here
maybe more for his longevity then his skills as a fighter, which near the
end became quite respectable. or leader, which well, honestly always were
dungish. Duergars always made formidable warriors and in the end even
this one proved such. He upheld the principles of his cabal to best of
his abilities, honestly these days that is more then you can hope to ask
for. Be gone Occanim, rare will remember you, even fewer will miss you
but at least you tried.


The disappointment

When I first met this one, he wasn't really promising. Dimwit as most
fire giants are he was enjoyable company... His start was hard, looking
at his record was almost painful. But for some bizarre reason I cheered
for this guy with my whole little blackened hearth. Every of his matches
I watched with excitement enjoying his gradual improvement. And time
proved me right. Chalktala from punching bag turned to quite decent
Warlord, and after a while even established himself as a Warmaster. It
went so far that after a while rumors of "new prophet of Warlords who
will lead them to better tomorrow" started to feature his name. And then
the bubble burst. Yet unclear incident (something about deathmark and
looting the body...) resulted in his shame. He was thrown out of halls
and condemned to permanent deathmark, it is said he took his life in
shame. At least I hope he did, such should be the fate of anyone that
lets this scribe down...
