1. What year were you awarded your white belt?
It was at North South War 2012
2. Who administered "the punch" and, be honest, did
it hurt?
Josh Learned/Sir Shandar was the one
who threw the punch. I think it likely would have hurt had I not been
so stunned by the whole knighting.
3. Whose belt did you wear until you got your own, and how was
this significant for you?
I was given Kelly Bonci/Twenaria's
belt. Twen was my knight, mentor and friend for almost five years
leading up to this point, so it wouldn't have made sense to go any other way.
4. Please describe your own belt's heraldry.
It's already a bit worn, but I like
to think that's because I put it to good use. There are two main parts,
the first being my personal heraldry for Temorse, who although I was not
playing when knighted, will always be my Realms character in my mind.
Temorse's heraldry consists of a grey teardrop with two grey wind lines.
The second part are the three gold and black stripes.
5. Why did you chose that heraldry to represent you?
The first one I chose as Temorse is
the character I've played the most for the past ten years (when he wasn't
dead), and who is most mirrored in my actual personality. The second one
is much more meaningful to me in that it represents what I believe to be my
crowning achievement in the game, which is being a part of the
founding of Ashenmark. I've always thought that taking the lead on that
endeavor was what earned me my belt and it also helps to remind me, not only of
the continuing responsibility and obligation to the group, but also of how far
we've come and all we've achieved.
6. Who did the artwork on your belt?
A friend from outside the game.
7. What do you remember most about your knighting?
I remember who spoke, but not as
much what they said. As soon as the Baron started speaking it hit me that
I was the person who was being talked about, so I was pretty shell shocked throughout
the entire ordeal.
8. What does being a KoEF mean to you?
To me, being a knight in the game is
both an honor and a responsibility to uphold the values of the knighthood, but
also the integrity of the community, Being a Knight of the Eternal Flame
specifically is recognition for service to the community and game that you have
made, and that the other knights entrust you to continue that service.
