Ashford Grieves
Posted by Aislin on 12/22/17
It is with deepest grief that I have to announce that Killian Ashford, the Paladin of Ideals, has returned to the Shining Lands.
Killian had a storied life: fostered with the Bislands, a widely-traveled explorer, a faithful adherent of the Sentinel's teachings, and one of the five paladins who stood together to defend us from Brand during the Silent War. He was...
There are so many things that could be said about Killian's life, and I have the words for none of them. Killian Ashford was my cousin, but he was a little brother in every manner that counted. I don't have it in me to properly eulogize him yet; the grief is too raw.
There will be a funeral soon, and a good Ashford wake -- one with drink, and stories of adventures past, to send him off in proper fashion.
Until then, Ashford grieves.
