C.A.R.P.S.

[Daniel Lockheart]

As many of you know, I've been very distracted as of late and find myself spending more and more time in meditation contemplating the meaning of well life, the multiverse, and everything. Even when I can be found those who come to me to ask questions find me irritable and distracted and constantly checking the time so that I can get back to my books and studies and meditations.

What I’ve discovered is that I need sometime alone where I will not be interrupted. A few months at most I assure you all. I believe that I will be spending the winter alone in the mountains facing the wilds. May it be the cleansing that my very essence needs so that I can remember who and what I am and why I became an what ever it is I am and maybe how to get back to what really matters.

With that in mind I’m leaving and will not be back until at least spring. Please don’t come looking for me. I need this time alone. So much has happened these last few years that I feel I’ve lost my way and only by taking a sojourn can I find the path that I seek.

In my absence and with Cudar having left us as well to head south, I am promoting Erinin to the rank of Keeper of the 6th tome of ToeVass for Midway. I know she is young but she shows some of the greatest potential in member I’ve seen in a long while and I put my full faith and trust in her.

To my friends I will see you in the thaw. To my enemies I will see you when you least expect me. And finally to everyone else I will see you when I see you.

"Fair thee well, Dragonslayer. I look forward to seeing you again in the thaw."

But.... But.... What about my new Expose?!?!
