Zander

((A blotchy water-stained parchment written in a shakey hand))

As his brother it falls to me to inform all those who knew my brother. Zander Gehnsen has fallen in battle at Alok Malagon. I received his effects and the news several weeks ago whilst in the proper. I wish for all that knew him, well or not at all to help me this next moon to give my brother a proper send-off. Had I a body I would be content to give him a burial at sea, but that appears to be beyond hope. I wish instead to hold vigil for him next moon, and hope for all that knew him to come, afterwards we will celebrate his life, his triumphs, the man who as a boy protected me and I him. I will write upon this parchment again once I am more sure of the proceedings.

In sorrow I write,

Be well and steady, Yusef.

-Your friend, Dorian Birchwood.

Yusef,
I am sorry to hear for your loss. Zander was a great man and I considered him a close friend. He is now with his ancestors in the beyond, and I will be glad to come celebrate the life of your brother.

Please keep strong,
Kamei Kunsai

He died a hero! Tears are not what we pay heros, we pay them in song, stories, pretty women and respect. I know I will raise a glass for him and celebrate his life as I know he would want me to. You should all do the same.

For King and Country,
Sir Elizar Ralinfolly

I will miss his squeezebox, his banter, and his wonderful joie de vivre... but never forget them.

Sir Ralenfolly, I believe you are right... but what alcohol could befit a man of such incredible tolerance?

I raise my cup of ale and let out a lighthearted laugh to honor my friend!!

To Laughter and Love,

I will remember him with respect, we shared the kinship of burden; I was released from mine as now he is also from his. So with happiness I will drink "To Freedom" and Zander. We will meet again in the next adventure.

The tales and songs will be shared

SLIGHTLY SANE

All of the words in my lexicon cannot accurately portray the message I wish to convey. I will try to do it justice. Zander was and is a man like no other. His face and attitude could light up a room and make everyone start to party. In fact I think he's the only man in travance who the Satyr's backed out of drinking challenges with. I will raise a glass each night to this man, in honor of his sacrifice and in rememberance of the light he held within. It would not do Zander justice to hold a candlelight vigil or a somber get together. In fact I'm pretty sure he would come back from the well of souls just to be able to remind us of that fact. So let's through him a party as large as his spirit was, and celebrate his life.

I think we should make room in this day for some prayers. Ancestors bless mothers and fathers and grandparents too, Aunties and uncles and friends old and new..Great nameless ancestors of the sea & sky , we pray tonight for a Big man from Cost haven, Zander as proud a soul as ever was blessed. A gentleman, who loved his life, woman and all the rest! He carried a heart the size of his head in his chest.

i did not know zander. however i thank and admire his efforts greatly, as i was a slave in alok mallagon for some time. only a brave soul enters that place of his own free will.
