Circumstance of this past feast

We will figure out a proper time for a memorial, and the proper way to put one together. Aemorniel, while the timing of the February feast sounds very fitting, I must admit that I hope we will hold it at another date--I will be away dealing with scholarly matters at that time. We should also keep in mind that while the author's friend Keilos seems to not have been from Travance, he also gave his life and his faith to help find the truth of the matter. Perhaps giving his life was not as great a sacrifice as giving his memory, but we should keep him in our thoughts as well.

As for the altar, it is currently in my possession, but as Lethias stated we hope that it will soon grow beyond portability, and it will of course be placed somewhere open to everyone. I think the library would be a very fitting place.

******NOT EKATARINA MCKREGAR********


Loremaster Silverbow,

I will not be at the ball or around in December, but when I return in January I would like to read it. I will message you closer to to January feast to arrange a time that we can meet.

Sincerely,

Neina Avaren

You are all in a dire misunderstanding.

February the 20th is the date of Keryth’rina which is a sacred holiday celebrated by the Selendrian and Quinarian culture. Keryth'rina means Memorium.

On this day we reflect upon the loss of the Elven Kingdom to the accursed Uelrog and his goblinoid armies. It was during this dark time many ages ago that the Elves were almost lost to Arawyn. Through time this day of remembrance has grown and now we light candles on this day for any of those lost to us in times of war and conflict. Aemorniel was saying that during our annual Keryth'rina we will light a candle in remembrance to yet another Hero of Travance.

Please look for a posting on this public area in my hand soon for details on the upcoming Keryth'rina.

That being said, I would please ask everybody who reads this to respect and honor one fact more than most. The documenting journal pages we have of our unsung hero represent more than one man's determination and desire to do good. It represents what a Travancian is capable of. You should all come, take the time to read these pages and find renewed spirit and self-awareness, because it is the spirit of this unsung hero that will live on within you all. The name is not important, it is the deed. This person and their deed will live on forever as a manifesto to the Spirit of a Hero.

It is not the time of Memorium now, but if you wish to show your respect to this hero. Light a candle tonight and think upon what it means to have the spirit of a hero.

Well said Tanis. You found the words I found unable to convey through my message. I am proud to call you my student.

This is not the first time I have heard of the elven tradition of Memorium, but once again I find myself struck by its beauty. Tanis, I will do as you suggested and light a candle for this not quite forgotten person, and I hope that when February comes I will be able to join whatever ceremony is held for Keryth'rina.
