Friends, Adventurers, and allies,
Thank you all for your Efforts and Deeds this past gathering. Your Valor and will to fight is most appreciated and has not gone un-noticed. I know there were more than 20 resurrections during our final defense and sadly I know there were 2 permanent deaths. Let us take a moment to recognize these 2 fallen heroes. I do not pretend to know them as much as most others, and i apologize if i pronounce their names wrong. But Let us take a moment to give thanks, appreciation and honor to Deg and Loken. Not only for their final sacrifice this past gathering but for all their efforts and aid to Ashbury over there time traveling here. My heart is heavy with sadness and condolences to their family, friends, and team/court members. Hail the Glorious Dead, glory and honor to these 2 fallen champions who met death with weapon in hand and in the defense of the people and land of Ashbury.
For those who spirits were shaken and weakened, those who resurrected. My thanks, apologies, and utmost respect and appreciation is no less to you all as well. Your Heroic actions are not lost and will be remembered always. I, like many others are deeply saddened by your sacrifice and you have much thanks and support. Also, If any of you who have items, belonging, or coin missing perhaps, please seek me out and I will gladly compensate you. If your armor has been destroyed, gas globes lost, or weapons broken, please seek me out so we can get you re-outfitted and re-armored.
I know this gathering was tough for many, and our final defensive stand put our valor and tenacity to the utmost test. There was darkness over our heads, perhaps those dark clouds still remain. Perhaps some could say we even lost... But Ho ho What? Fear not, for not even the darkest of skies can block out the Sun for to long, the light of hope and victory will fight its way through those clouds. and We will rise up once again. It is easy to be angry, to perhaps wanna give up , or even give into despair at this time. But in the face of all these hardships we gained some manner of victory as well. We know our enemy more now, we know they have a formidable archery line, we know what "Sibling" troll "won" per say and is now the leader of the trolls. We know they have limited healing for them and their people, we know how they came to be of this "newer" troll, with some superior hive mind. We also know they are capable of some means of mercy, as well as some means of Honor. We will measure this honor and see if they hold up to the terms to not attacking for 1 moon after their champion loss the Honor combat. We have knowledge of our enemy to learn from, let us make better preparations and let us be ready for them next time they show their faces.
Again thank you all for your deeds and efforts. Let the Deaths of our allies and friends burn in our heart as new weapons next we meet our enemies. Let us raise our swords and bring vengeance upon our enemies. And do not forget what you saw this day, the sacrifices, the sadness.. but also the heroic actions of so many. The will power to keep fighting, and keep pressing the attack. So many people, from so many places, coming together to fight as one in the defense of Ashbury and its people. It was a privilege and honor to witness and take part in such a thing.
In closing i am greatly saddened and sorry for so many resurrections, i am saddened and sorry for the permanent loss of Deg and Loken. And I am deeply saddened in the end more could not of been saved................. But sorrow must be faced head on and we must re gather ourselves and find that inner strength to move forward, we must fight on my friends and we will do so together. I thank those who stood beside me this gatherings, followed me and also those who put their faith and inspiration in me in the end, It was my honor. I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with you all soon.
Sincerely,
-Squire, Commander Ithica
