In Memoriam.

I am trying to arrange something to pay respects to those that were lost this past feast. Any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me privately.

***Not Caelvan***
According to my notes there were three people that I knew their name that "died" this moon that I know of. Two of which came back through the focus, or by some other means.

A sylvan elf named Keavy was sacrificed to give her heart for Bloodtide's creation.
A Dragoon, forgive the spelling, Ginuki? Sacrificed himself to find out how to get a second red heart after the first was crushed(which is what led to the first one listed)
A Dragoon from Evernight, Horus. Who was a black Dragoon who wanted Blood tide. He did not come back from dying though the focus or other means that I know of.

The other deaths were the many Orcs that died in the fight [strike]and Horus's guard[/strike]....of which I know not their names. If you wish for help in paying the respects I will gladly volenteer.

If I am missing anyone then I welcome people to tack a post below.

Priest of Galmachis

Erik Lysen.
His death was the line we drew in the sand. Our light shined from within him, and was snuffed out. We will not forget.

There was an elderly and powerful white sorcerer who willingly sacrificed his heart.

His name was:

Lore Keeper Arcanum

Belegchand also died but was returned.

Also, for those whose hearts were sacrificed, knowing what color they represented would help

Wotcher,

For the sake of veracity, I ought to point out that Mister Dinephilin did not actually pass away - it was merely an elaborate practical joke. Poor taste, admittedly, but nonetheless incredibly well executed.

And yes, that pun was intentional.

The 4 hearts that I know of was the saffron heart from a goblin in the inverted tower, the Purple Heart came from a emerald huntsman lycan, the black heart came from either the aguran priestess or the devil she summoned, and the red heart unfortunately came from keavy but to my knowledge she was restored. The aguran priestess had children we need to make sure as the church of light to take care of these children and rehabilitate them.

Obviously the white heart went with the white sorcerer.

Or you can allow the mothers children to make up their own minds, wether to follow in their mothers footsteps or be "rehabilitated".

Preach your words sure. But be sure that your words aren't the only ones they hear. Remember, many of us choose to follow the "dark" gods. Many are not forced.

Merikh,

They have seen what there mother has done to them. If they decide that it is a path for them when they are old enough then so be it. Andorra will forgive them for all that has been done. But I seek that we give them proper education, and proper love as a child should receive. If once they become adults and decide to then seek out there old ways I can not stop them but only show them what the light can offer.

While attempting to whisk the Goblin within the inverted tower to safety from the undead my Loyalty was turned by William. I went against my very nature and carved the saffron heart out of that poor mans chest. I pray that Gerold had nothing but kindness and guidance for his soul.

****NOT LOIS****

I will take them in, cousin. I am a mother without a child any longer, and they are children without a mother any longer. I ken it is a good fit.

-Liadann McKraegar

Cousin Liadann that would be wonderful there are three of them all around the age of ten. Be careful they were all raised to understand pain will make them stronger.

I am checking on the orphans. It may not be wise if too many clergy do so. They are traumatized and have just lost their mother at our hands. I can see if that would be a good fit. They are likely to have many emotional issues.

The green heart came from a man that was a greedy miser. I can't say he will be missed.

Merikh,

A memorial for Horus' guard... didnt know yer god held memorials for undead...

*not caelvan*
I was unaware that they were undead. I retract my statement of his guard. Thank you for this information.

Sir Philidin, do you know what color Erik Lysen represented, or was that your way of saying he was a bronze?

I lament to state that Siegfried and I have been trying to have a child for many years but have been blessed with none. If there is a youngster in need of parents we would gladly take them in. They would be shown love, kindness, and affection. However if all have found a home that would give them that already, we wish them nothing but the best.

Test
This one is real? We hope we don't need a new desk again.
Erik was desired by the church for his vindictive pursuit of the dark clergy, and his stalwart need to protect us in our darkest times when laws were cast aside and morality was individual.
His Cobalt soul matched House Kadis so well it was no small wonder his heart bleed blue.

Persvek ro jilinth,
Philidin, [strike]Kierell[/strike], [strike]Palinthorn[/strike], [strike]Tamarand[/strike]

Thank you Sir Philidin.

That leaves only the ashen heart, and the amber heart unaccounted for. Does anyone know who these hearts came from? The ashen heart would have been either bronze or grey. The amber heart would have been orange.

The black heart was obtained from an Agaurran Priestess, who was seen mercilessly beating her children. A Devil of Agaurra was summoned, and the Church fought both threats. We've been told that the blood of the children was what was used to summon the Devil, but I don't trust the word of many in this Town right now, so you can come to your own assumptions as to why the two were together. Na'ar removed the heart, and I delivered it to the waiting forces in Alisandria.

It was brought to my attention that Will Smithers, or one of his band, was among those whos hearts were used. Does anyone know anything more about this man, and the color he represented?

I thank everyone who has responded. We are down to the last two names. If anyone encountered an amber heart, or a bronze or grey heart, please come forward, so we can honor those who have fallen.

Additionally, if anyone has any information regarding the child that was ripped from its mother's womb, under the guise of this ritual, please contact me privately.

A healer, removed the heart of a "Priestess" and then a Gaian delivered a heart to "waiting forces..." I have no words for this, it is not even sporting.

Why are you all even bothering going through this spectacle? You'll just forget their names and everything about them in two weeks' time. At which point you'll be clear of conscience and free to commit the next sin and ask for forgiveness again.

May the "Light" continue to guide your way,

It was me that decided to deliver the heart, as out of everyone there, I was the only one able to delver it to the forces of Travance instantaneously. Had we chosen to wait for all to gather and marched out together, it would have taken at least 30 minutes before it was in your hands. And would Travance had been able to wait? I was told that getting the heart to them was of the utmost importance, and that every minute we delay reduces our chances at success. Would you have been willing to take that chance Atrus?

I am not proud of what I have done, and I intend on atoning for these harsh sins in my own way. You may make any judgements on me that you wish, but what is done is done, and it cannot be changed now. I do what needs to be done to aid and protect this town, as I have always done.

I suppose you're "right' Rayven. Although I did offer my own heart to Lady Cassandra hours prior to you all slaughtering this Aguaran priestess/mother in front of her children, although one has to wonder if she summoned a Devil in response to you all attacking. I suppose you were correct in assuming that was the fastest way... Although I had spoken to your clergy and even offered them to do the honor's of cutting my heart out. But you miss the point conveniently enough, along with that chance.

I will continue to defer to the ways of the Light Church.

Enough for now though, I will not pester you further with observations of things that have come to pass and the truth which so many see - for now - it seems to ruffle so many feathers around here.

I would ask everyone to refrain from turning this into a debate. The intent of this memorium is to prevent people from forgetting. Please, if you have information relevant to the request, either post it here, or contact me privately. If your intent is to use this as a way of announcing your opinions, just don't. You are taking away from the respect we are trying to show those who fell making this weapon. Also, please refrain from responding to those wishing to take away from this memorium. They do not deserve the attention you would be giving them.
If you choose to not honor this request, please know exactly what you are doing, and that everyone can see what you are taking away from this memorium.

That being said, I ask again. Does anyone know who the amber and ashen hearts were taken from? Does anyone have any information regarding the mother and unborn child? Her name. Her killer or killers. I know a noble or two that would be very interested in this information.

Does no one know who these last two people were? We can not become so callous as to forget the names of the people who were sacrificed so that the menace that is Balfurius might end. If we do, then we are no better than him. Please, if anyone knows anymore information on this subject, please contact me.

Do not forget. For if we forget, we will be doomed to repeat it.
