I was looking through the MEMBERS listing this morning... just updating some of my contact links and I started wondering. What has happened to those scribes who were once such prolific posters and have been with Candlekeep for three or more years?
Here's a minor listing:-
Do any of my current and fellow scribes know? I am aware of the Bookwyrm's reservations about posting here now... but the others I know little of.
I'm just curious really, because I used to enjoy conversing with many of them.

Well met
Ya beat me to it, Sage. I was going to ask this very question after a remark made by Lord Rad regarding thy advance to 10,000 posts 
Indeed, a number of scribes are missed.
From the list below, I believe Wood Elf Ranger has gone on to work soley on his homebrew campaign setting, the Cardinal has returned here recently but has other commitments (although he assures me his will return on a more permanant basis). I know not what became of Hymn and grew concerned after his silence during production for the Candlekeep Compendium 
I believe Mumadar Ibn Huzal is in touch with Artalis and as for the remainder, i'm unware of their whereabouts (except Bookwyrm, of course).
There are a fair few other scribes who are missed and who i'd like to see here again.
Still, we have a GREAT many scribes at Candlekeep at the moment, who are invaluable to this centre of learning and without which, this library would be a lonely place  |

Hehe... that's what prompted my own inquiry actually  .

Ah, so he's gone fully ahead with it. I suppose I should work on those character conversions he asked me to do a while back then...

Indeed. I've even tried contacting him both by both email and PM.

Yes, very much so. I just named the few in particular above because they seem to have been among those absent the longest.

I remember that Bellua Aeneus Lacerta was like Sirius Black, who always seemed to get novels ahead of the release date and also provided some pretty good novel reviews here.
There are quite a few old school members who I haven't seen for a long time |

Peek-a-boo...
As Alaundo already knew for 48 hrs or so, I'm back out of Limbo... sort of... living in the hungarian countryside is nice, but it comes with a drawback: dial-up internet
Anyhow, I'll be picking up things where I left them (although I'm afraid I'm not going to try and catch up on all the posts made since I left these halls. Most likley for the time being I'll keep myself restricted to the Compendium scrolls, but who knows... |

Welcome back, Mumadar. A long break indeed. Glad that all is going well and the move was successful. I'll leave thee to catch up on thy scrolls... |

| I am still in contact with the Cardinal if any wish to resuse contact with him. His story is a personal one, so I won't say too much nor give much away, know just that he is aware of all that transpires here, and eager I'm sure to remain in contact with his old friends here |

I may just take you up on that MuadDib...
Which reminds me... we've still got to find a way you and I can catch up on our old chat sessions. Any ideas?

Hmmm, that is quite worrying. I wondered if it were just me he was not responding to If anyone knows the whereabouts or anything about Hymn's status, then please let us know. |

| Well myself have been outside for quite a long time. I can tell you about Lina if ye want Sage as long as I am in touch with her. She became a bit tired of keeping up to the forums (she gets tired easily of anything anyway :D), and now she keeps reading FR novels as long as I know, and playing Fr video games (as i can asure you). |

Awwww Sage! I didn't know you cared!
Yeah, I know it's been a while, but I'm back; at least for a little while while I'm between jobs and have the time. I've been busy with my last job as a site/network tech for the city of Galt School District. It took up a lot of my time and the little free time I had was spent on other things. I really haven't checked back much since I started as gaming has been absent in my life for the most part, since then as well. Mainly because of the job and my group just going through changes in our lives and not having the time we all used to. But it's back to an extent anyway. The group has returned and played back in march to finsish off my game and is playing again this month after an almost two year hiatus on our other campaign. We even picked up a new player (fingers are crossed as to how long this lasts...). I've been updating the websites and have even completed our groups story up until the last game we played. It even has the soundtracks Duane used for each adventure.
So I 'm back. Hopefully I wont have to take as long a hiatus again.
Looking forward to the catching up I'll inevitably have to do. |

I'm sure Alaundo will have plenty of scrolls for you to assist with your "catching up" .

Greetings and Salutations
As has Been said, I continue to read up from time to time. Much has occured and much has changed since My presence was last here (and shows not sign of settling any time soon).
As well as the World Of Azeroth Holds some bindings to Me now. Between that, The Work I do now, and other commitments which require both My Time and Attention, I Can be Hard pressed to Return to These halls.
However, for Sage or any other scribes wishing to grab hold of Me in a friendly way and not about My Neck, I can be reached via the old channels, Or send Me a PM and I shall fill you in on the ways of nabbing My ear. Be forewarned though, that it is not Uncommon for Me to Currently Cut off My ear to focus on something else. Not that I don't care, it's just My attention is More needed in that direction.
As it stands I am Currently (and until This Thursday) temporarily in The Hot Dry State of Arizona visiting (just finished a visit with My sworn Brother Karesch and am now here)on a much Needed Holiday from temporal Concerns. So, the Best time to Reach Me is Actually Now, as when I return home to My Thawed and Dry Lair My time will be Frantic, hectic sand busy. However I will always Do My Best to Make time for My Old Friends Here at the Keep.
Be Well Fellows, and simply Ask, and I shall Be there to listen.. albeit distractedly... |
It has to be Certain, the Gods Hate Me. For whatever irrevokable Fate, I have been made the walking Joke. Either that, or Beshaba is overlyfond Of Me.

Don't worry, it's only 3 feet long and has just 1710 entries... You're still shy of the world record. It does, however, make me wonder about any "honeydo" lists the Lady K has given you. |

I shall be expecting it Sage.
*Chuckles* and I do Believe that if Sage was having two such lists going *grins* I'm sure the world record would be His when they are combined together... |
