To All Subjects of Travance

After word from the Bishop, I realize my emotions got the better of me... While I do wish to be part of the organization and arrangement, I want to make sure a Galladelian priest is involved, and perhaps takes the reigns. Rayven deserves the best for his soul.

I will tell an account of my first moon in Travance, and how well he treated me.

Rayven has always been a good friend, as well as a good mentor.
He would not think twice about putting his life on the line to protect someone.
He will be missed.

Signed,
Father Elric Ashby

Shortly after the opening remarks the weekend of the May Baronial Feast, there will be a gathering in Pendarvin at which a bonfire will be lit in celebration of the life of Templar Nightwing. This will not be a Mass, but will be a celebration of his life.

He was a complex man with a simple code by which he lived. Let there be no dusty memories dredged from the deep past, no maudlin tales, but rather personal stories that show the person that he was. As to the Church - he fled the monastery due to the lack of righteousness he felt was pervading it. Keep that in mind before you plan something. Be certain, if you must do something connected with the Church, that it would not be something he would have shunned if her was alive.

Master Haroldson,

Templar Rayven did not flee, nor did he leave the church. He had spent the past few moons gathering research for the ritual to end Surtur. Please do not dishonor my friend's memory by spreading falsehoods about him.

Haroldson,

I have always considered Templar Nightwing a dear friend. We are all, as a town and even a kingdom, suffering from losing his mortal form. Whatever petty differences you may have with the Church of Light do not matter here. He is, was, and always will be a Templar of Light, and we will continue with our plans to remember him as such.

You are not the corpse at every funeral, nor the bride at every wedding. Stay out of matters that do not concern you.


To my fellow townsmembers,

As it has been seen in ages past with others of similar status, Templar Nightwing has most likely joined the Ascended Wars and will continue to fight to protect Eodra for eternity. This is one of the goals that any member of the Light, not even just the Church, aspires to, and we should all be honored by his devotion to faith that has allowed him to attain such a status. I cannot say for certain that we will see him again, but there may always be a chance that his path may cross ours in the future. The Galladellians are currently planning funeral rites and remembrance ceremonies for him, and as plans for these services are solidified, the town will be notified as a whole for any who wish to attend them. All will be welcome at these services regardless of faith or creed, as Templar Nightwing was a stalwart defender of Life.

May the Gods of Light be with you, and may you all continue to stay safe in my absence.
