8/11/99: Nyx completes his Triat Mastery Quest. <LOG>
8/21/99: Nyx participates in Lorna's Trivia Quest and along with his Team Weasel members, make it to the 'Sudden Death' Round versus Team Chipmunk. After three rounds, the score is still tied and Lorna declares them co-winners. Team Weasel consisted of: Jahiliya of Veladorn as Team Captain, Kennet D'Augustine, Nyx, and Gernoul. Team Chipmunk consisted of Berrin, Abender, Jahar, and Pan. During this quest, an unprecedented event occured... The Death of the Tempest. Team Weasel wishes to specifically thank Dinin, the Ebon Lorebringer of Death, for his aid on the Quest - without whom, they could not have done nearly so well.
8/25/99: Nyx, the Ordained of the Chosen, bad recalls to the Demon Realm, where he is promptly slain. A number of noble heros attempt a rescue of his corpse, some for more noble purpose than others. In the process, Flutter dies twice (losing a level and falling to 29th) and Blystur dies twice as well. Abender successfully recovers the corpse of Blystur only minutes after his death in Demon Realm. This second death of Blystur was apparently a planned event… the corpse containing his equipment was recovered by Abender intact and returned unscathed. Flutter declined a second corpse retrieval attempt, as she felt it didn't really contain anything significant. Five hours after the death of Nyx, Vecna, the Arch-Mage of the Grey Vortex and Destined, undertakes the task. After slaying well over 40 demons over a three hour period, Vecna is able to recover a few of Nyx's artifacts, earning the personal gratitude of the Lady of Fate and Her Ordained.
9/3/99: Nyx attends the GT at Grandma Tony's in Tucson, Arizona. In attendance are: (Mortals) Kamil, Elistan, Majere, Rubicant, Nydus, Gaul, Rocky, Marisa, Trap, Kennet, Jahiliya, and (Immortals) Cordir, Syla, and Thaygar, with Asia arriving just as the GT was ending.
10/23/01: Nyx is affected when Cordir is forcibly retired for rules violations. He leaves the mud until she is restored.
12/3/01: Nyx finds that he is still Ordained when Cordir regains Demi-Goddess rank.
3/19/02: Nyx requests that Cordir release him as Her Ordained out of fairness to the other Ordaineds who lost their status upon her retirement. This is done as part of a special "Fateful Night." <LOG>
07/17/05: Look Nyx - The shadows twist and shift before your sight, like a midnight fog touched by a light breeze. There is something out there, a deep purple glow, that seems to float about. Ah, yes... you can make it out now. Its a sprite, but how can she be moving and sitting at the same ti- She is sitting upon a shoulder... a very darkly clad shoulder. Your gaze slides up to where you know the face must be, and is met by piercing grey eyes. Ebon strands dance within them, forming and reforming - a web, a sigil, a name foreverlost... There is only one person this can be...Nyx is in perfect health.
2009: At some point, Nyx's player file purges. He comes back for a visit on 01/24/09 as a 1st level thief, to be present for Corri's Trial of Triat Mastery.
