FYI.....please note that if you are KoS to Katta you might have a problem attending. I dont know what Lcea's aggro range is or if she sees invis, but if you are unsure you may want to head out there just to con a guard or 2.
BTW....
I have to publicly thank Shylah for the pic I posted. She did a great job with the lettering and removing our names and the black eye I had from the raid the night before....
The wedding is off....permenantly. It has come to our attention, thanks to some detective work by Lyrad, that Viva and I cannot marry.
You see...I never knew my father, only that he was a drunken human that apparantly had an elven woman waiting for him in every town. So, I was raised without my father to guide me. Thankfully, I had several mentors growing up in Surefell Glade that made me into the ranger you all see before you. I really never gave much thought to my father since he was never part of my life.
Well, as my best man, Lyrad wanted to get to know Viva..well..just cause he always liked looking out for me. He talked with her about her roguishness (he always tries to put people onto the straight and narrow) and discovered that she and I had something in common.....she also never new her father.
Now, some people would let it go at that...but not Lyrad. He felt something creeping up along his spine, Starsha wasn't around so it wasn't her, and knew he had to find each of our fathers, at least so that they can attend the wedding. He searched high and low, questioning family and friends, and discovered to his amazement that they BOTH lived in the same town. Here he thought he would be traveling the realms bringing his message to our fathers.
Well, Lyrad first went to whom he had figured my father to be...a paladin of somewhat questionable values...and a drunken sot. Upon greeting this man, Lyrad stated he was bringing the joyous news of his child getting married.
The man shook his head and stated that he would never make claim to that elf wench and her DAUGHTER. Lyrad was taken aback, since this man was supposedly MY father. My friend pressed this man for more info, and when naming Viva's mother....the twinkle of recognition came to his bold eyes. Fear began to creep into Lyrad's mind...how he hoped he was wrong about this....
Lyrad then mentioned my mothers name....his heart then skipped a beat when that same twinkle came to this drunken bastard's eyes. It couldn't be. He wanted desperatly for it not to be true....but the proof was there. This man fathered both Viva and his best friend. They were half siblings.....sharing the same father. Rage began to build up within Lyrad and he continued to look upon this drunken paladin. How he wanted to carve him into bits as he lay there wallowing in his mead. "You have ruined that lives of two of my close friends, drunkard" said Lyrad. The human just stared at Lyrad with a starnge, distant look....and then vomited on Lyrad's shoes.
There was no way that my friend could harm this man in the state he was in...nor could he bring himself to destroying the father we never knew. Sadly, Lyrad returned and told us of his discovery.
So now I have passed on this tale of shame, but I ask of you not to be sad that there will be no wedding. Rejoice that brother and sister have found each other here on Norrath. And as we try to cope with the future, we must also cope with our father....especially since he has been known to us all. We ask that you do not judge him harshly, especially whilst he is in a drunken stupor, for he knew not of what he was doing...or who for that matter...
