[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 177717, member: 426"] [b]Hazen's farewell[/b] Well, as it looks like all my 11th level powers have been disarmed or destroyed, I guess I am done except converting my enemies. Probably not possible, as my powers are dead. Imprisonment was my method of destruction. So, I guess I am out of the IR by the process of elimination. (If Dagger's Ulek state is intact, I will run it unless an Oerth Alliance member wishes to do so.) It has been fun. A message disk appears before the surviving members of the Oerth Alliance. When touched, the image glows with a pale light. An image of Hazen appears. There is a somber look on his face, a measure of peace on his aged features. "If you are seeing this message, I am in all likelihood dead and cast into the Far Realm. I would like to say that it has been my honor and privilege to share my life with you" "I conceived of the Oerth Alliance as a force where peoples -regardless of their race or past history -- could come together in peace. Despite my death -- and likely the death of my entire people-I urge you to continue the ideals that inspired the alliance. Perhaps the memory of my people will do some good for the future." "It seems that some factions are hell bent on winning, regardless of the consequences to anyone else -- or themselves. That some people truly believed the Dark Powers did not surprise me; folly seems to be commonplace in most worlds. Indeed, these people remind of those who would poison the beverages at a chess match to ensure that they alone will enjoy the match. If you value the words and deeds of my life, I ask you to build a better future not just for Oerth but for all worlds. Hopefully, the Taraakians will assist you." "You have a grave responsibility: to build a future that honors the sacrifice of many and the potential of our posterity. As I face death, I am certain that you shall meet this responsibility and likely exceed my expectations. There is more strength and goodness in you than you know." "I wish you well. There are many things I would have liked to have seen. Yet not all dreams come true. When you think of me and my people, remember that you were loved." "As for the other great powers, judge them by their actions not just their words. We have heard that the Shade who took over Calimshan, Amn, and Tethyr assaulted the United Commonwealth of Toril. I fear for our ally the United Commonwealth of Toril." "I wish the people of Oerth, Toril, Krynn, Mystara, Athas and of all worlds well. May days of healing come for us all. May Rao and all the powers of light, good, joy, compassion, and justice bless you all. May that power which the Angels serve bless you. I wish you peace. Fare well. Perhaps we shall meet again in some place where no shadows fall and no tears are shed." The same message is sent in automated golems, along with all the events of the IR to the Taraakians. All the images also were transmitted emotionally to the Taraakians. OOC: I doubt that Sollir would want to run good aligned versions of his factions. Or that anyone would trust them if he did. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
