I played The Final Challenge on a daily basis for nearly 13 years, and was a Following-Level Immortal for 9 of those years. I Retired as a Lesser Goddess in 2008. I unretired and was promoted to Goddess in January of 2011.

Mud History has always been a passion of mine, and until a server crash, I hosted a nearly 1,000 page strong website dedicated to the Chosen of Fate and the Final Challenge's rich history. Many of those files, in the form of the TFC Time Line, were donated to the mud and can be found on the TFC site. Those files were integrated by Marisa into the files she had collected, to create a detailed view of over 10 years of TFC's history. I'm very proud of that. Most of my postings to the Wiki are taken from my website, or from 5,200+ log files collected over the years.

I have TFC to thank for many wonderful friendships over the years, and for the love of my life, User:Abe, whom I met there. I will always be grateful to Tynian and Madman and the God+ staff for giving me the opportunities I had on TFC.

Additional Thank Yous

(Taken from my old web-of-fate website)

• To Abe Stormreaver: For quatrains and promises kept to me and My Chosen. For making the Destined mean something for a change. For making Anathema mean something. For being a wicked temptation that will forever garb her in mourning black. For negotiations, for gifts, for kindnesses, for teaching. For stories. For possibilities... for the future.
• To Nyx, Ebon Master, Ordained Shadow of Fate: for being willing to commit to a difficult Path. For being the first. For being the truest. For divine inspiration, for beautiful quests, the effort above and beyond, and giving me great joy in the Chosen.
• To Thaygar for letting me play Cordir, encouraging me and being basically way cool folks, and for not flinching when I asked them to read yet another version. Thank you, Thaygar, for trusting me with the Triat. Thank you for inspiring it all.
• To Tina Bronson-Lowe for all the years of friendship and encouragement. Thanks, Tina, for playing the characters you did. You enriched my TFC more than you know. = ) (beep, beep, beep!).
• To Tripper: A good friend. A friendly ear. A strong shoulder. One of the most honorable players of TFC I've had the pleasure to meet, and work with. A gentleman. Don't ever let the bastards get you down.
• To Tranquility Rose: For courage, for fire, for peace, for experimenting with a whole new type of character. For speaking when I could not, for being the epitome of Handmaiden. For being EBG's bitch, Weaver's Handmaiden, and my brain.
• To Ptarchyzk: For hammocks. For advice. For being a pal. For listening, no matter how ludicrous the questions. For not laughing when I saw the light for myself.
• To Gryphon: For many years, Gryphon listened to my ideas, read revisions, and listened to my geeky RP stories. Cordir wouldn't be the Immortal that she is today without his input. I wish him well, wherever life takes him.
• To Tokugawa, Sir Psycho, and the rest of the Pasta Night Gang for providing encouragement, and not poking too much fun of my RP stories. Extra thanks go to Zarous and Sir Psycho for their detailed critiques of the web-of-fate.net website (now defunct) and my Temple.
• To Madman for letting me play with Scar.
• To Foolkiller for the encouragement and support Upstairs and Down.
• To Tokugawa for the Sponsoring of a little Attendant and co-writing Kharad-Delving
• To Darkmoon for asking C&D.
• To Khore, your storytelling was an inspiration as well, in all my Incarnations. You are the mega-awesome. Thank you for taking the story of Lena and weaving it into so much more.
• To Polnevdra Zrelendar for her incredible artwork and technical expertise, and for not flinching when I asked her to read yet another version. Also, thank you for permission to use your beautiful artwork.
