-------------------- The Cry of Despair Feature Story --------------------
.....
It can be said that the Immortals of the Realms of Despair do not get
all the credit and praise they should. We are sure that most of the time
an Immortal spends online is filled with complaints and sighs than
'thank you' and words of praise.
So we as the staff of the Cry of Despair are going to give the hard working
Immortals a chance to hear some praise. We went out across the Realms and asked
the players who they had as a favorite Immortal and why.
Hayama: hmm vira prolly, just known him for ages and frienda
mine, doesnt take things too seriously but still does his job
Kyrnia: Serina's my favorite imm cuz she's got that cool cleric power
thing going. she's always totally friendly and she never gets
mad, I don't know how she does it
Adric: Bede. good builder, and i've always gotten along with him
Terra: Aphreal... Cuz Shes the only Imm I know and shes kewler than
all hell :)
Hawpch: Darrek
You: and the Why part? :P'
Hawpch: beeccaaaaause... hrm he deals with alot of stuff behind the scenes
that noone really notices and he is an awesome supporter of the order
and I haven't ever dealt with any other imms *inno*
Chayla: either vira cause he's a stinky sneaky druid or bumrina cause smells
like dead flowers! ;)
Garrund: prolly Thoric, cuz he was giving away all those pendants..=)
Greetmir: well Lascivius for her constant equality of treatment to
all ... her consistency ... but there are a lots of imms that
do a lot of work for us and I dont envy them their job'
Magiua: kali because he killed brane for no reason =)
Moonfire: Aphreal. She is kind, friendly, and doesn't mind us
mortals insulting her.
Razfellow: Lascivias,because she is almost as devious as I.
You: *laughs* nice answer ;p
Razfellow: *bows* why thank ye my friend = )
Kayah: My fav imm is Blodkai, for the very reason that he puts up with
all the bs in this game, organizes and fixes as much as he can so
that others can enjoy this reality. And he's lasted for a long long
time, which tells me he doesn't have the one thing I hate myself for.
A quick temper. :P
GarytT: aphrael cause she's nice
Morbis: Welp, its gonna be D; i dunno; I avoid imms at all costs, they
scare me
Fedmahn: eek! get that mic and camera outta my face! :(
LLaura: well i really dont know that many of them but mystaric is
really nice, she hosted alot of pkills for our guild on a
regular basis. Alot of others wouldnt have done that so
graciously.
Parisul: Thoric. He has a lost mind, and there's a reward if we find it!
Teran: Parisul because of the fun all-level quests he runs.
Sagat: Who's coding for Nephi's? ... that's yer answer
Thorpe: Kattia..she and i aved together, and she's been my best friend
and the friendliest imm on the mud
Xanthia: well m'lady, tis easy for me to answer that question..
there is no question in my mind .. for there is one that
shines way above the others..
wether it be dark or bright out..'
Ynnug: moonbeam..heh'
Ynnug laughs.
Xanthia laughs.
Xanthia rolls on the floor laughing hysterically.
Xanthia: with all due respect to my son Jorbin, i would have to choose
my husband's most closest allie.. Bushido
Iceith: Thats a hard one, they all are nice enough to slay me...
well, the ones who have slay. But I'd have to say its
Blodkai. He's even more mysterious as Thoric, and does a
lot of work behind the scenes. and even though people always
complain about what he does, he still keeps doing it and
doesnt give up :)'
Eldygar: Loril. Very nice to talk to, and friendly.
Iliana: I would have to say that out of all the Imms, even
though they all do a wonderful job, Darrek would be
my favorite.. he has a way of keeping things in
perspective.. that it's only a game.. and having a good
time with everything and making me laugh even when I'm
aggravated. he doesn't take all of this too seriously.
VaCh: serina cuz i'm her love slave
Jenica: Loril and Stoneheft - lorils a cool druid -- and stoneheft
has a funny sense of humor' -- and then all of the others
on the wizlist are nice or sweet
Zistrosk: Mystaric cause she's a programmer extrodinaire
Shingo: Ranma! Cuz she was funny, an anime freak like me and
had the best restore-all echos!'
Phred: i'd have to say darrek, but i can't say why or he'll kill me ;)
Trystlow: favorite imm would have been ayesh...he had worked with
me on the rumble for GoR and was always receptive to ideas.
hated to see him step down... does it have to be a current
imm? current imm..i'd sayLascivias... she's the best for talking
over ideas i come up with... doesn't do the fire from the hip shoot
down deal =P then there's Aphrael... have to give her probs
cause she built that awsome home for Belyan... =P
hmm, maybe i could do like a top five??? hehe
then there's stoney for just being a freak and building
la chute... which has scared the bejesus outta me on several
occasion
i dunno; i need an editor =P
hmm *gets out his lil book of PC (poliltically correctness)*
i'd have to say that i don't have a favorite imm... they each
do their part to make the realm the wonderful place that it is.
if it wasn't for imm's, i'd still be living in that van down
by the river'
[Someone liked this question alot ;p ]
Dalamar: Lascivias because she was a cool deity and she
summoned boy george to kill people
Fobertron: Probably Mystaric cuz she gives nice big chunks of glory
Vortex: anyways, Taboo, cuz he's cool, and I beat him in pool :)'
and I didnt mean for that to rhyme.. gads that sounded lame
so dont quote it like that, if you ever should have those
urges, please :)
You: too late, you are immortalized'
Vortex: *sighs* Reporters...
Dahla: Heh ;) Well, Taboo's gotta be my favourite.. because he acts
all mean and such, but is really a nice guy ;)
Felwyn: To give a pat on the back to those that currently
serve, I would say Lady Aphrael. She has never failed to
give more than 100% to whatever task she is doing, and is
one of the kindest souls I know.
Braiden: tie between aphrael and lascivias
because they're both fun and incredibly helpful
they've both given me an ear to chew before
Odessyus: Casdin would have to be my favorite imm, he's a good
person and a great friend.'
Bacara: I'd have ta say Serina; she's nice and fair to all; and
she puts a lot of work into her quests theyre always
difficult and fun she always responds when ya send her tells
Vir: I don't have a favorite imm...I respect some imms more than
others; If I had to say what imms I respect as players,
leaders, and people...I'd say Kali, darrek, and Jorbin
it's an question that requires less ambiguity
I mean..some imms i like cuz i know them irl...some imms i know
know from their work here...some i know and like cuz we play
together on their morts
as for respect, fairness, interaction...probably Darrek
or Jorbin tho
Elisabet 'Aphrael is because shes so snuggly.
Breg utters the words, 'eugszr waouq'.
Belem: Bede, because he rocks.
Rosin: I dont know any of the imms, so I abstain
Tyra: Fav imm..hhmm...a tie...Gorog Cabal...they
taught me to play this game :>'
Kyrian: apphie cause i knew her before. . and she's real nice and stuff
Taammy: Aphrael, She did my wedding..knew her when she
was in GoM... just always got along
Svenson Aphrael, being helled by her was an honor.
Gultar 'I like Darrek because of the funny american
jokes he puts in his title.'
Clade: eh kali, cause he's uh cool?' and he's a cool
deity *shrug*'
Lainfin: Moonbeam cause she's so mean
Brane says Adonia or Serina
Brane: Adonia cuz she used to go to my school and Serina cuz
she didn't change into a stuck up imm
Palin: Bushido; cause noone knows him an he doesn't piss me off
Farndaki: Nivek
Saraphin: vira... cuz she gives me cookies and is a good friend ;)
Teltan: darrek, he's never mucked up a glory trade.
Kayleah: hmm...Loril...she's so sweet =)
Allivax: Rosario no hesitation'
Allivax: he was the most helpful person when i was learning game he
made me do things that taught me how to play but he was good
to me as well as fair he never told me things made me find out
with some help
Breg utters the words, 'eugszr waouq'.
Thalasian: umm Edmond, cause he role plays
Drachenfeld: I'd say Calis, because I like questing and I always
have had good luck in his quests :)
Zoa: well... Mystaric... because she organize's many GoV pkills...
and Edmond for the same reason
Amoria: okay I guess...as far as people go, Thoric's my favorite
imm because he hasn't been an 'imm' persay like the others
so he's not as callous...
He sets a good example for the way an imm should be with
his mentality - very patient.
Now, as far as imms go, I would have to say Darrek and
Moonbeam are a tie. They're both fair to me and Moonbeam
has a talent for keeping it professional... Moonbeam's
excellent at maintaining her position. I have a huge
respect for her.
And then there's Grishnakh, who's just a great friend.
Make no mistake... he's MY teddy bear.

Hello! My name is Tobie Latrou Moonbeam. I've been playing on Realms for almo
4 years now. I was a character no one wanted, a level 32 with a bad base.
Out of the rp part of my life here, my first main character was a warrior named
Kirstin. (Which I still own/play) Kirstin was given Tobie as a "I hate this
character.. you can have him" gift from someone I didn't even know. Well, this
being my first mage, I was very excited and spent a great deal of my time on
chat and racetalk, transporting recalls and balls of light. :P
One night I was approached by someone named Chopan. He asked me if I had eve
considered joining an order... to which I replied, I was new here and had not
even known Orders.. their meanings or even that they existed! After some
good conversation with him, I decided to apply to DragonSlayers. Moving forward
I'm now here and have been a member ever since. I joined the IC Team when I
finally AV'd, and later became Head of IC (HoIC), when Chopan moved on as a
new leader for us.
DragonSlayers is forever my home and I love all my family and friends who are
there and have been there for me.
Perks of me! :
Fav's/likes : Fun collectables from RoD/friends, renames, friends, Seth!
Nono's/dislikes : Mean/rude people
Nicknames : Perky! , Boobies(don't ask me to explain yet :P ), Tobiemunch,
and "Hey you"...
I look forward to gettin to know everyone on CoD meeting new people on RoD.
***Tobie L. Moonbeam***
When I was a young boy, around 17 or 18 years of age, my home was
broken into by three men. They killed my parents and left my younger
brother, Tangarth, and I, badly beaten. After that we had to learn to
live on our own. I would cook, he would hunt, and we switched off
to make life a little easier. We weren't very rich, so I traveled
to the city of DarkHaven one day, looking for a job. They weren't
in need of cooks or hunters (which was the only thing Tangarth and I
had any experience in), so we were out of luck. I spent all of the
gold that I had going to DarkHaven, so I had no means of going back
to my home that night. I was forced to sit at the town plaza and
"beg" for money with the rest of the beggers. I made enough gold to stay
at the Sleeping Dragon Inn that night--I must have been lucky to
make so much in one night, the other beggers told me, probably because
I was so young, people felt for me. The next day i went out searching
for a job, and once again, no luck. I found myself walking aimlessly
down an alley, where I was met by some thieves. They saw that I was
down on my luck and told me I could try out for their guild. I made
it in and sent a message to Tangarth the next day that we would be
moving to DarkHaven--we have been here ever since.
Hi everyone. Just like to say that I'm very happy to be a part of
the CoD Staff. Im currently in Order of Templars (*hoping to be
official*). My tells are always on, so send em if yer bored :).
--Odessyus Harthlen
I am Xantryke, an av half-elf paladin. I am currently a Co-Head
to the GoP IC. I started this char mere days after the paladin
class was introduced, and I started playing about a month and a
half before that. I have two other characters: an av paladin, Pepin,
used as a storage, and Janclanmiyut, currently only at level 2, but
I'm gonna have him pleveled as soon as I earn enough to pay for it.
I spend most of my time on RoD late at night, like 2-5 am system time,
although I can get on during the day/evening. I plan to do as much as
I can to help with the CoD, and am looking forward to it.

The Demon Within - Nations Quest - 7/21
Those who know him, well know of his affliction and how it comes upon him
suddenly and with a certain cruelty. For a span of time he did not even
know he acted strangely, and when he learned of his acts of aggression to
his kin and friends he was stricken. But this alone was not enough to save
him from the demon within for it fed eagerly and often upon his indecision
and fears.
His Chieftain, Sir Chengis quickly became aware of Brakko's possession
and tho he went to great lengths to aid his kinsman he had not the means
nor magic to bring Brakko relief. There was a certain cleric who held the
power and for a time or two was able to force the demon to retreat. But being
of infinite evilness and persistance the demon grew in power and the last
confrontation found the cleric face down in a pool of her own blood.
It has now become known that only two ways exist to drive this demon
from his host, Brakko. One is to take the life of the half-troll, and the
other is to.....
And so it began....many gathered at nations, their concern for Brakko plain
upon their faces. Talk drifted about the small group, at first of puzzlement
and concern but as the group enlarged, the talk became more determined.
Until there was a fair army ready to pursue this demon to the death. Little
did they know could well be their own.
Sir Dron was chosen to lead,for he was well known as a man both level headed
and quick of thought. The blurr of activity brought many curious to watch as
they scurried to and fro repairing armor, purchasing healing potions, trading
shield potions and scrolls until all were satisfied they could do no more to
prepare themselves. Jhary, who lent much support but was too young to go
stood by trying to hide his disappointment as he watched.
A vast mixed company left the nations clearing..from Rol Na Feinne to Baali.
Vampires, mages, thieves, rangers, warriors, clerics, orcs, humans, drow,
trolls, dwarves, pixies, elves and halfs --- all put aside their differances
to fight. Those among them were: Dron, Vortex, Ubanmlyx , Lequin, Laine,
Shingo, Micala, Wavin,Torinir,Thalasian, Endrail,Tiggs, Mondain, Thorgrim,
Bacara and Mea.
They found Brakko in a land where the peacefullness belied the agony of the
one crouched there. As he held his head, blood spilled from his mouth and
they knew he was soon to die unless they acted quickly.
The trackers brought the group to Aramis Knight and before the echo of his
taunting laughs faded he was dead. With a jubilation born of their short
sightedness they returned to Brakko expecting to find him much improved.
Their bewilderment over his continued plight soon turned to terror as Vallax
screamed in upon the group, bringing desolation and death within seconds.
They were scattered and without direction as they tried in vain to recover
from this volatile attack. Wavin bravely lured the demon way from the pile of
corpses, nimbly keeping one step ahead as her companions strove to retrieve
their equipment. Twas the strong voices of Thalasian and Dron that brought
them all back together and with the careful planning of Vortex and others
they once again leapt into battle.
As a combined force of death they met him again. The Tremere,Tantras, had
come upon the scene and leapt into battle as well. Swords arced with deadly
precision as spell casters flung a vast array at their target, and tho some
died again and others were forced to flee they prevailed. Vallax was broken
as a jolt of quantum spike unfurled from the hand of Laine, Tiggs followed
with a disabling hit, Dron brought to him a crushing blow as Vortex delivered
the final stroke of death.
