Consider this letter at the time an unofficial response from the Legion until our Sergeant gives an offical response. I would not let my late Banasfian Brethren's vision go to waste with his untimely death. I would volunteer myself to at least meet on the issue as I've been apart of the late Sergeants efforts to combat Iakmes hordes and have first had seen the threat these orcs pose.

Soldier Arnock "Nock" Reyer

Arena fight is still bugged. The fight ends a few rounds after fighting him. No prompt or anything the fight just stops, he disappears and the arena reset back to normal

Stahl was a fun character, what turned into my pc wanting have a little fun after being away from the ward for a while to a pretty fun rivalry. Also the little Orzan spar into shit talking was a prime moment. Good luck on your next

Bravo as one of the many people you had fooled with the facade of being an Archivist im sad that we didnt have more meaningful interaction till shortly before her death where we bonded over common interests. A+ plus pc and honestly a curveball of a reveal I did not expect

Prax was well in short prax was a never ending source of awe. A shame I never really got know her well since I retired Arn before the gates opened up but the small bits of rp during 64, making it to Baz'eel and after the ib'javi siege. She was a wonderful character whom I saw as nigh unstopable. Congrats on making it to the center.

A fun character to watch from afar and up close. Arn was always happy to share a venture or the keep with the lancers in the early days as they made their way out into the rings.

Trolls speed run champion of 2020. Angvald was always fun to quest with or listen anytime he gave a speech about the ancestors. A shame I didn't get to delve too deep with him about the Ancestors but Snori will be happy to share what he passed down to any folk making the crossing for the first time

Taken from us to soon, it was fun the few small interactions we had. Was hoping to have great dorf adventures together finding out more about the ancestors. Thanks for all the tea

So been putting this off since I've been busy and well can't believe this was only my third overall character but first that i actually managed to achieve something.

Arn started off as my attempt to get back into efu as a melee based character which would hopefully have a better idea how the servers mechanics worked. The general idea for Arn was a woodsman that wasn't the biggest fan of people and civilization and more of a fan of animals specifically cats. Spent most of my starting  time in the ponds mingling with people but not making a big enough impression that people would remember him. Eventually I ran into an elf named Cornelia which became one of Arn's closest friends and friendly ringrunning rival, as well as thanks to Cornelia I was introduced to Captain Horatio Fynn and the rest of the Striders and that's where the most fun I've had on this server would start. Having never made it past ring 92 I figure id seem what ring running was like again, and boy this was some of the most fun I've had.

Ring running with the crew came in two parts. Progress and campfire shenanigans, and RwG knew how to blend both in a really fun manner since most of us were within the same timezone so that almost every week for a few hours at a time we'd either poke a ring to make progress forwards or just sit around a campfire and shoot the shit, usually having each member have some sort of role around the camp such as gathering meat, cooking, etc. I honestly lived for the slower moments in the rings and glad that we took our time doing this as well as Fynn giving all of us nicknames. Mine being Yarn as a fun play on Arn and the fact that we kept running into cats which id tame and send on their way, eventually taming my first companion Hymir, a panther traveled with all the way to ring 55.

Progress moved along till we hit our first major event, The Great Glitt Race.  Having had Princess "Mairead Glitt" and Rosey "Genovalio de Rossa" join us in one of the deeper rings and obtaining the item Mairead was searching for in ring 74 we were chased back 30 some-odd rings by skudge and his shadows hence "The Great Glitt Race". After that we plunged back into the rings to strike deeper. Eventually we made it ring 64 and honestly I learned a TON about Efu's mechanics which thank you Striders for being so patient with me on that mountainside.

Clearing 64 and then making the push for 55 will forever be my favorite memory as the journey took a toll on all of us as it was the final leg of our ring running journey. Having run into the Breakers and Wakers as well as we reached the gates we traded stories and tips as our broken little band of misfits had made one hell of a journey and had one more mountain to climb. As we made it to Baz'eel RwG gathered us the next day for what will forever be the biggest tearjerker of a goodbye as we parted ways, as well as Electrohydra and Bloom the day after.

The remainder of the Striders being Growl, Mitts and myself headed back to the grey keep to operate out of there as we had the idea of starting a trade company, which was cut short thanks to the wonderful Ib'javi day which was the last time me and Mitts saw Growl as he dove into that portal at the last minute to seeing Danebluff's mission through. Having found out that Growl didnt make it back broke Arn a little bit and he spent some time in the spinning groats basement drinking his sorrow away which i want to thank Domina Lucretia for listen to gripe and grumble about losing Growl.

Eventually Mitts and Arn headed back to the keep intending to turn it into a haven for weary ring runners as a place to rest for a bit before heading deeper, which would be cut short by the wonderful invasion event run by Howlando. Having gathered a sizable force to defend the keep for the promise of keys to the next ring the Striders and company repelled wave after wave of enemies till we pushed them back into the woods to find out the invading force was lead by a werewolf whom we chased back to the keep for a final showdown as well as losing a few people in the event and breaking Arn spirit even more being the last original member of the Striders left. A toll that would slowly drive him to become grumpier and bitter as he never left the keep often and stayed in the deeper rings trying to see Mitt's goal through and turn the keep into a haven.

Eventually Arn tried his hand at ring running again to help see folk deeper since he considered ring 99 to be a death trap for people, but the endeavor would prove harder than he thought trying to manage the keep and get folk deeper into the rings.

After hitting a roadblock on what to do next i decided to head Arn back to Baz'eel and retire him there where he walks the sands having never been one to be contained by city walls.

Special thanks to the Striders, Breakers, Wakers, Glitt/Wizards, Grey Keep folk and the DM team. Never did I think that someone like myself would manage to make it ring 55 and I want to thank everyone for being patient with as I died my way through the rings.  If you've never ring ran before I highly recommend it. I've got screenshots somewhere that ill post later as I dig through screenshot folder.

The small brief interactions we had when Arnbjorn would frequent the arena to drink his sorrows away after the days of the big Ib'javi event will be something ill always remember as Domina would comfort him by listening to him just ramble about losing another crew member as she poured him more to drink. I honestly thought about the idea of being your beastmaster of the arena and I'm sad that I wasn't able to bring something special back from the deeper rings to put on a show in the arena. A fantastic character, well done though I wish we interacted just a little bit more in the later stages of the characters life.

Moving soon so packing this week and have work training the follow week so play will be sporadic, Arnbjorn will be here and there if I manage to find time to play during that time

Only saw him around a few times since my current pc was deep in the inner rings but that bit with bear had my laughing for a while

Rusty was fun to interact with. Spent a bulk of my time with him on Barik and even though i retired him and started Arn and watched you from afar as both our groups made it through the rings separately it was nice to see you keep pushing till the end.

Nel was a lot of fun to do stuff with both on Barik and then on Arnbjorn. Whether it was shooting the shit or just questing. Honestly thought she was a ranger or ranger/rogue for the longest time. Guess Arn is gunna have to leave behind a crate of whiskey behind for her now.  Also the fact that you were a fighter and not a ranger or ranger/rogue completely threw me for a loop

Managed to get nicknamed by him twice. Badge of honor in my book. Gunna miss this insult slinging machine
