User blog:Jiskran/The passing of an era (Albie)

Many people have commented, very kindly and about his impact, and I just wanted to say thank you. I would, however, like to point out that the gentleman was 173 years old at the time of his passing, which I personally feel is the very definition of 'a good innings'. I plan to keep his memory, and certain aspects of his life and work in circulation with other characters of mine, but the asabikeshiinh will sit for some time to come on the bell brace at Dervish and Banges, in memory of Albie and Mol.

I had originally planned a 'blaze of glory/fighting the good fight' ending for him in the Age of Mortals expansion, but in many ways, most of them unexpected, I like this better, I must say. I'm sorry for those who feel let down that I killed a character - again, and can only hope it won't stop folks investing in my creations in future. Whilst I myself am without a single vessel of eve the smallest coracle nature, I appreciate the support and interest of the many shippers in these parts. :P
