I want to commend you for this memorable and very human PC. You did a great job.

[hide=Spoilers]I think it's fair to say that Siobhan was responsible for bringing Selise to Orza -- after they met at the Cube, while Selise was still an aspiring Arbiter. Siobhan, following her own agenda, was working with the Arbiters to destroy Ib'javi, and she identified not only that Selise was a ruthless and professional soldier -- something Siobhan admired -- but that Selise's zealous hostility to fiends was something she could manipulate. She played up her own opposition to the rakshasa and told Selise that Castle Orza would be open to her if she ever needed a new center of gravity. And eventually, after parting ways with the Cube, Selise did show up at the Castle, offering her services to Siobhan in the belief that the Peerage was a place more in tune with her hatred of fiends than the corrupt Ticker Square was, and in the (more well-founded) expectation that Siobhan understood Selise's soldier mentality and would make full use of it. In drawing Selise to Orza, Siobhan gave the House one of its most important assets, and for a while the two of them formed the core of a new more hierarchical, professional and strictly militaristic Orzan retinue than had been the case in the past.

They, in concert with other new retainers brought in under Siobhan, made a good team, mutually respectful colleagues -- and, were it not for Selise's (very understandable) wariness of Siobhan, might even have become something like friends -- until Sargon showed up and began to alter the balance of power in the Castle. But what ultimately saw Siobhan and Selise's paths diverge more and more was Siobhan's own clandestine and unscrupulous dealings with Ticker Square, which Siobhan knew Selise with her principled stance would never tolerate if she discovered. What made Selise such a good underling in Siobhan's eyes -- her simplicity, her steadfastness and her loyalty to the House -- was simultaneously what made her decreasingly useful as Siobhan's own activities began to diverge more and more from the official business of the Castle. So she began, ruefully, to leave Selise out of the loop more and more, and rely on her less and less, leaving her instead to be orchestrated by Sargon. Knowing that it was inevitable that her own conflicts of interests with the House would soon come to a head once more, Siobhan had a final conversation with Selise where she effectively said goodbye, without revealing her true intentions, and obliquely tried to explain why she could not and would not ask Selise to come with her where she needed to go. She didn't want to place Selise in that position. Unlike Siobhan, Selise was not a scheming noble but a soldier.

It was a brief but memorable scene and it encapsulated everything that made our interactions so interesting.[/hide]

Thank you for great RP and for giving us one of Orza's coolest and most memorable retainers. And thank you for her journal as well, which was indeed enjoyable and always fascinating.

You are an amazing player and your PC literally made the Peerage what it is. Your contribution in this regard has been immense and you should be quite proud of that.

Eryeth was and is incredibly memorable, one of those excellent characters who grow to become truly unique and in some sense human. And her being around was a strong factor in my wanting to log in and play on the server.

Thanks! Look forward to seeing what you create next.

Seemed really cool from afar I wish I'd had the chance to interact with her more before she got dead. Glad you had fun, and can't wait to see your next uphill battle!

You put so much work into portraying your characters, not just in game, but through IC journaling and correspondence.  It's impressive and a little intimidating. I got to interact with Sylyn so rarely, but it was a pleasure, even when her behavior was frustrating as hell.  Gone too soon, but in a way that utterly made sense for her.
