Never argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

[Theren Keep, Chapel]
Tapered candles provide a warm light for the Chapel of Chadatru despite the dark of night. Even in the dim light the stained glass window can be viewed. A richly embroidered tapestry serves as a backdrop to a polished ash altar carved with the image of a golden lion upon its surface. Oak benches have been placed here so the devout can come and observe the first rays of dawn blaze into existence across the face of the window and cast its fiery light across the altar of the god of justice.
You also see a drum corps, a group of paladin standard bearers, a colossal silverwood remembrance table elegantly carved with an image depicting the patron god of paladins, a marble archway, a blue silk curtain and a fragile-looking book on a small stand.
Also here: Colonel Kristalline who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Guard Lieutenant Kenamer, Mazrian, Hodierna's Fist Kaelie who is sitting, Grand Dame of Justice Sendithu, Pathfinder Kintryn, Mentor Isharon, Holy Vengeance Rileos, Mentor Mistanna who is sitting, Derium, Apprentice Paladin Skyrin who is sitting, Mentor Samsaren, Apprentice Barbarian Lighter, Aegis of Justice Grymmlen who is shining with a dark golden glow, Divine Fury Felicini who is sitting, Pack Protector Warbrolus, Knight Templar Sebestyen who is sitting, Squire Zevazi who is sitting, Teacher of the Kin Rozze who is sitting, Priestess Anlise, Mentor Leucius and Dame Mandalynn who is sitting.

[21:08] Leucius says, "Alrighty folks, lets settle down and we will get this started."

[21:09] Leucius says, "Just so everyone knows how this will go. I will speak first, then I'll open it to other speakers. Atytendees can speak, make a presentation or light a candle, whatever they wish."

[21:10] Leucius says, "I will take a list in whispers when the time comes. Once everyone is done the Drum Corp will have thier presentation."

[21:10] Leucius says, "And that's it."

[21:11] Leucius says, "So with that welcome to Paladins passing."

[21:11] Leucius says, "First off, I would like to thank everyone for showing."

[21:11] Leucius says, "Today we gather to honor all the Paladins that have helped shape us into who we are today."

[21:11] Leucius says, "Our guild has a rich tradition, much of which has been influenced by Paladins in our past."

[21:11] Leucius says, "A Paladins path is not easy. It takes determination to stick with, many are the ways one can find themselves straying from it."

[21:12] Leucius says, "Over the years there have been many Paladins of note. More than I can remember frankly."

[21:12] Leucius says, "Some good, some bad, some more memorable than others."

[21:12] Leucius says, "That however has always been comparative. One persons memory of a Paladin that influenced them can widely differ than another's."

[21:12] Leucius says, "As you may have noticed by now we have a table with candles on it that you can light in honor of the Paladin you wish to remember."

[21:12] Leucius says, "As soon as I'm finished here I will offer everyone a chance to speak and or honor a Paladin of their choice. You are all welcome to speak, get a tinder and light a candle, make an offering or all of the above."

[21:13] Leucius says, "Now personally speaking there have been many Paladins that have influenced me over my career. We could be here all day if I go through my list."

[21:13] Leucius says, "The individual Paladin I would like to mention is Lady Marshal Stephania."

[21:13] Leucius says, "The Lady Marshal was technically my mentor in the Guild."

[21:13] Leucius says, "She is actually the creator of this event as well."

[21:14] Leucius says, "I tried to figure out how many years ago it was when this event was started but I ran out of fingers and toes. More than twenty anyway."

[21:14] Leucius says, "Lady Stephania saw something in me early on and pushed for me to try my hand at various roles of leadership."

[21:14] Leucius says, "Our conversations were always similar: She'd tell me I'd be great at something, and I'd tell her she was nuts."

[21:15] Leucius says, "Looking back over my career it's obvious she was on to something. I'm very thank full for her seeing something in me that I had no idea was there."

[21:15] Leucius says, "Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that she wasn't nuts anyway."

[21:16] Leucius says, "Thank you for indulging me there."

[21:16] Warbrolus says, "Thank you for sharing."

[21:16] Leucius says, "Now, lets move on."

[21:16] Leucius says, "Those of you who would like to speak, please whisper to me."

[21:17] Leucius says, "We will get a list started."

[21:17] Warbrolus says, "I wish I had the pleasure of meeting the Lady Marshal."

[21:17] Leucius says, "She was a tough customer."

[21:17] Warbrolus says, "My kind of person."

[21:17] Leucius says, "Anyone that would simply like to light a candle, feel free to get a tinder."

[21:19] Leucius says, "Still taking names of speakers..."

[21:20] Leucius says, "Lets start off with Sebestyen."

[21:20] Grymmlen says, "I light this candle in remembrance of a fine man, a righteous knight, and my friend...Sir Bazzile."

[21:21] Sebestyen says, "There are so many of this guild, some great, some less so, that I remember and that influenced my life and guided me to become the Paladin I am today."

[21:22] Sebestyen says, "Matalynd was the first to show me the way, and back then I heard tales of other Paladins in the past in the Guildhall, such as Rock. Then there was Poetus who convinced me to join the Navy and begin many years of military service to Zoluren and later Therengia."

[21:23] Sebestyen says, "Madigan in his way, inspired me to carry on some traditions, and reinforced my belief in the Paladin Code."

[21:24] Sebestyen says, "And I would also like to remember a knight of my household, Sir Balfore, who recently passed as well. Many, many good men and women have gone before me, and I hope to remember and honor their names by my own service and dedication to the Immortals and the Guild."

[21:25] Leucius says, "Thank you Sebestyen."

[21:25] Mandalynn softly says to Sebestyen, "Thank ya fer mentioning him sir."

[21:25] Leucius says, "Up next will be Derium."

[21:26] Derium sadly says, "I wish to honor Veralika. She may have died a cleric, but she was born a paladin. She was the first person I met during my first career within these realms, and to this day she was the one that has impacted me the most impact. I light this candle in honor of her memory."

[21:26] Derium sadly says, "Thank you."

[21:26] Leucius says, "Thank you Derium."

[21:27] Leucius says, "Next up will be Zevazi."

[21:27] Zevazi says, "I have not been long for these lands but in that time The Code of the paladin has been ingrained in me."

[21:28] Zevazi says, "If it honor those before me I will recite it now in remembrance of they."

[21:29] Zevazi says, "Chadatru Bless them all."

[21:29] Leucius says, "Thank you Zevazi. Well said."

[21:29] Leucius says, "Somewhere Madigan is all happy too."

[21:30] Someone in this room is Located.

[21:30] Leucius says, "Next up will be Samsaren."

[21:30] Samsaren says, "I would like to take a moment and speak about the Paladin, Garpike."

[21:30] Samsaren says, "While not many new him well, as he was a somber quiet sort, at a very young age for myself he gave me an honest chance to teach."

[21:31] Samsaren says, "A returning warrior after a long period away in prayer, his open and honest questions, and unending patience in a new teacher helped bring me to the place I'm at now."

[21:31] Samsaren says, "Gone, but never forgotten old friend."

[21:32] Leucius says, "Thank you Samsaren."

[21:32] Leucius says, "Next up will be Mandalynn."

[21:33] Mandalynn says, "I came for Sir Balfore, but there is someone else that is a great inspiration to me that I'd like to honor."

[21:34] Mandalynn says, "Sir Madigan took a few of us down to Hibverplace while I was just a squire, to the tomb of Emille the Fist."

[21:34] Mandalynn says, "And while I was there, fer the first time I felt like mayhaps I could really be a real paladin."

[21:35] Mandalynn says, "She deserves many candles but I'll just light the one."

[21:35] Leucius says, "Very nice, thank you Mandalynn."

[21:35] Leucius says, "Next up is Kenamer."

[21:37] Kenamer says, "Thank you Leucius for hosting this gathering here in the House of Chadatru and the home of the Baron, to honor those that have come before us and influenced us in wasy only the Gods can know."

[21:37] Kenamer says, "I wish to speak of a friend who's no longer with us tonight, a drawf with a fondness of salmon croquetts."

[21:38] Kenamer says, "While this Paladin did not make great Armor or weapons, he did make us all laugh and brought joy to all who knew him."

[21:39] Kenamer says, "It is a particularly great loss to me as I fought back to back with him through more than one wars."

[21:41] Kenamer says, "He was a brother to me, and a kindred spirit. His final resting place is in the Lounge of the Guard Headquarters, there he can remain with us in spirit and continue to be a part of the joy we all have."

[21:41] Kenamer says, "His name is Russon, and his memory will never be forgotten."

[21:42] Kenamer says to Leucius, "Thank you."

[21:43] Leucius says, "Thank you Kenamer, well said."

[21:43] Leucius says, "Up next is Anlise."

[21:43] Leucius says, "She is the end of my list actually."

[21:43] Leucius says, "If I missed anyone please whisper."

[21:43] Anlise says, "Thank you."

[21:44] Anlise says, "I'm actually not sure if this paladin is dead or alive. A number of years ago, after the death of his wife, he walked away into the mists and never returned."

[21:45] Anlise says, "I have a great love of the Paladin's Guild, and it's through this paladin that I was introduced to the heroism and integrity that all of you have."

[21:45] Anlise says, "He served with great honor and distinction against the Gorbesh, in Sorrow's War, against the Outcasts."

[21:45] Anlise says, "He was also a good friend, and I feel the empty space where he once walked all the time."

[21:46] Anlise says, "I will miss you always, Candidus."

[21:46] Anlise says, "Thank you."

[21:46] Leucius says, "Certainly."

[21:46] Leucius asks, "Alrighty then, is that everyone?"

[21:47] Leucius says, "Mazrian, you certainly may."

[21:47] Mazrian says, "Thank you."

[21:48] Mazrian says, "Many of you know Madigan. When I was a young man, without direction, he took an interest in me."

[21:49] Derium sadly says, "Thank you for the services."

[21:49] Mazrian says, "I served with him for years, and he taught me what it meant to be a soldier and be a better man."

[21:50] Mazrian says, "Later, when I fell out with Theren, he stayed in touch. Very few others did."

[21:50] Mazrian says, "And he always reminded me that I could be a better man."

[21:50] Mazrian says, "I didn't appreciate it then, but I do now."

[21:51] Mazrian says, "Wherever you are, old man, I hope it's where you wanted to end up."

[21:51] Leucius says, "It did take you quite a while to come around."

[21:51] Leucius says, "Thank you Mazrian."

[21:51] Mazrian says, "Elven time."

[21:51] Leucius says, "Alrighty then, as most of you have noticed we have gifts for the attendees."
