As I'll be stepping back from the server to focus on my personal writing, I'd like to give big kudos to those I had great interactions with. Most of them my characters got to form complex relationships with and usually elevate every scene they're in, and are very enjoyable to roleplay with.
Mary - The first character I've ever met, the real OG wench and (un)official face of TDN. Helped really ground the setting and the tone with her presence and very enjoyable interactions.
Díolliun - The mustache of the Conclave. Without him and his contributions to the faction, it would’ve been a less unique experience.
Bran - Through Valen, we got to explore found brotherhood and a deep-rooted, nuanced friendship that was defined by many hardships and celebrations over time. Those interactions have provided the most development for him and revealed complexities about both characters that most never got to see and understand.
Enya - Like Bran, she was shaping up to offer Valen a really interesting dynamic.
Alison - A great third addition to complete a really enjoyable dynamic between Bran and Valen who was with them in their greatest trials and triumphs. Without her, both of them would’ve been dead long ago.
Bristle (and Lorelai) - A part of the team where many of Valen's strongest friendships were formed, although she unfortunately never got to grow with him like the others.
Sarya - Great character, very consistent. Unique worldview and often a voice of reason.
Sho - Despite only a handful of meetings, he taught Valen a lot about maintaining composure, understanding your opponent and constantly challenging yourself to improve. These qualities made him a much better monster hunter.
Caere - From what little we got to interact, she was a very interesting character and a great roleplayer.
Findelor & Lyrithe - Both are excellent, unique in their own way and have offered Valen significant insight.
Alvaro - Good friend and ally.
Aen'garael - Despite the little interactions our characters shared, his presence added some nuance to a side-story with Valen.
Eruil and Ar'belath - Always add a lot to the Conclave vibes and represent Y'Tellarien very well. We've had many great interactions.
Caerylia - The real Galadriel. Beacon of light and resilience.
The Watcher - Also provided many scenes that helped cement Valen's position and added to a side-story.
Silvaine - She is also one of the pillars of the Conclave in my opinion who has been around for long and introduced Valen to the idea of it. Her events for the faction have been great to be a part of.
Laremy and Duncan - I'll never forget the newspaper wars. They were one of the best experiences I've had in RP ever, and both are dearly missed.
Abelard - All our scenes were enjoyable to write.
Wolfeye - Funny as hell.
Altimare - For not being afraid to shake things up and being an interesting character.
Fat Dot - One of the first characters I've ever met as well, though her impact on my character wasn't as huge as on others. She has a big heart.
Shoutout to countless others as well who have made the setting feel alive and put in tremendous amounts of effort.
