Herald in Aglarond Sims.

This is a character note of mine from 2008. Running across it is like finding an old photograph, "oh, what I was then". Oddly poetic, wholly self-absorbed and sketchy as a character history, this is probably terrible reading. Skip it at will.

I am called Arth. Some few know my older name of Aean.

I am created and always angel since before time began. As such, I give the message wherever it must be heard. I have walked many worlds. I have flown heavens of every shade. I have been captive in hell. I have sat in hell's throne and worn its crown. I have made stars. I have mended a broken heart. I have died. I have learned some of music, and mathematics, and magic. I have learned some of compassion. I have loved. That, of all these powers, is greatest: I love.

I am appointed High Judge of the Dead. As such, I have been chosen to guide many mortals in the after-life. I have welcomed the newly dead in heaven or hell or elsewhere. I have led the council of three immortals. I have been judged by immortals. I have guided souls to find rest, to find reflection, and to find new life. I have cast to the future and found every mood there. I have wept. I have laughed. That, of all these powers, is greatest: I laugh.

I am the First Speaker of Elatha, goddess of honor and might. As such, the "Clerics of Elatha", a cleric healer free group that anyone can join, follow my leadership and wisdom. I have healed. I have revived the fallen and the dead. I have can coaxed the truth from unwilling tongues. I have dispelled magic and evil and chaos. I have taught little fae and great dragons. I have learned. That, of all these powers, is greatest: I learn.

But of all, all these powers, this is greatest of all: I am.

Thanks for reading.
