The Last of a Generation

[jmeatball 62]

To all it may concern

 

In my short lifetime I have tried to do my best to maintain the Red Faith and do my job as first and Initiate and later Keeper. I served alongside High Keepers Aeyn, Tyr, and Solvi, much greater persons than I. My life has been something of minor excitement, from when I served in the War of the Two Emperors so long ago to the more recent wars with the AIS and Empire. I have tried to always devote my life to the Father,  I never spent time on my family or dynasty, I always imagined I’d have more time. It is one of the many regrets I have to leave behind, I never expanded House Faretto like I should have. But I am too old now to ponder on what could have been, I can only offer the wisdom I have available to me now in hopes my final act might help the future of my home. I am not the young man I once was, I yearn to see the old city of Dunharrow or drink with the Renatians, perhaps even roll die with the orcs. But most of all I miss my family, I miss Tyr Faretto and my nephew Devon, I even miss Solvi for what its worth. I yearn to speak with them, ask their advice, perhaps share a joke. I suppose I’ll be able to do that soon, I hope. I can only hope the All Father judges me with mercy so that I might see my loved ones again.

 

Anyway this is but the ramblings of an old man. The wisdom I bestow upon Morsgrad is to act with patience, to avoid conflicts of the outer world. In my life I have seen too many wars fought, and seen too many of my friends die to them. In my youth I was far too rash and it nearly got me killed, yet I persisted and eventually gained patience in my latter years. I can only ask the Father to judge Morsgrad with mercy, to ask Thoromir and Bjorn to safeguard its protection, and Astrid and Aetheflaed to guarantee its future. My own Paragon Myro has long guided me in the way of the quill, yet the fires of war have burned away most of what I have wrote in this life. Act with diligence and conviction, do not pour too much focus into one aspect of society, but instead yearn for that which seems impossible to achieve.

 

I hope this makes sense to someone within Morsgrad, and I hope to speak with you all one day, should the All Father allow it.

 

Sincerely, Gareth Faretto

The Last Keeper of Dunharrow, and Last of the Dunharrow Generation
