Basilican Beluar Mercurus

Basilican Beluar Mercurus was the son of the human Brion Beluar Mercurus and the half elf Leda Lightfoot. He was brought up to love magic and on the 5th day of Ches, 1367 DR, he underwent his initiation into the priesthood of Mystra with the traditional ‘Starflight Ceremony’

Soon afterwards, he came to the city of Sarbreenar to pay his respects at the grave of the fallen elven hero, Beluar, for whom he was named. Sarbreenar was being rebuilt after being overrun by Orcs and other Goblin kind. With a combination of flair, charm and good luck he was appointed to the position of Minister for Spiritual Affairs with a seat on the Council.

He was a hero of the Battle for Sarbreenar when Nemini and Dark Omen laid siege to the city. He never quite recovered from the wounds he took that day. He went on to bring magical aid to the heroes who slew Nemini and rescued Angkar, Sarbreenar’s dragon ally. This drained his life energies so far that he has never really recovered. He went before his time. He will be sadly missed.

Gordon Hoakes

Gordon will be sorely missed by all his business associates, debtors and creditors. It is ironic that both he and his great business rival, Jasmina Blue, should be snuffed out by the same fell blow. It was always rumoured that he suffered at Jasmina’s hands and bore bitter resentment to her. In turn it was rumoured that this was caused by her bitterness that he was father to her first child. But that is all past now and no one will ever know.

Gordon will be remembered for helping Sarbreenar to rise to become a major merchantile power in The Vast, dominating the trade routes between Raven’s Bluff and Procampur.

Jasmina Blue

Jasmina Blue, beloved citizen of Sarbreenar and the owner of Blue Silks Trading Coaster was laid to rest today in the crypts under the temple of Kelemvor. Jasmina is survived by her sons Luke and Mark who will be taken in by the city until relatives can be found.

Jasmina was known for her incredible business sense, second only to her love for her children. Jasmina’s journey in life from slave to businesswoman should be a shining example to all, that you can accomplish anything in life, regardless of your beginnings. She will be missed.

Malidopholous – a tribute

My friends, it is with sadness that I pen these words, a poor tribute to a great man of peace.

Malidopholous (sometimes known as Bald Mal) was more, much more than a simple gardener.

He was deeply religious, holding the tenets of Mielikki close to his heart and will be missed not just by myself but by all the students that worked under him.

He will be especially missed by Delgat’qa, who as a treant will mourn his friend for the rest of his own life.

The Sarbreenar grove will be a much sadder place without our friend Malidopholous.

Huss – a tribute

The death of Baron Huss of Xorhun has affected Sarbreenar greatly. No longer will Sarbreenar have its hand forced into helping out a City against our will. We will be free to choose our allies and our friends with greater care.

Baron Huss was a brave soul, bearer of many burdens and responsibilities and it is a sad loss for Lady Alvesta to have to bear. In this time of grief our thoughts naturally turn to our own but in this moment, I ask you to spare some time for the widow Alvesta.

Our thoughts are with you.

’Bastian Faste

Sarbreenar will mourn the security it found in the knowledge that Sebastian Faste’s locks, bolts and traps guarded its doors. I know no greater craftsman. He pit no trust in magic, he relied in oiled springs and eager levers. The S.F. mark on his locks was a deterrent in itself.

In happier days he and I would spend hours in the Deadcodpiece discussing tumblers and combinations over a pint or three of Wiggledance. He was a good friend and an inspiration to craftsmen everywhere.

From his old comrade ‘Angel’ Gabriel

Never was one half-orc missed by so many.

Mavros was a fighter, right from the day he was born. An orphan, he was brought up in the Temple of Kossuth and was groomed from an early age to revere the Firelord and to channel his strength into everything he did. Never known for his intelligence, his agility and true strength was quickly picked up and his interests were channelled elsewhere; the acolytes soon discovering his ability with the spiked chain. His home was destroyed by a volcano at the age of 14, and he decided to take his skills where he felt he could do the most good.

Keen to spread what he had learnt from the temple, he set out to take word of Kossuth to others in his own inimitable way. Leaving his homeland he made for Sarbreenar, with a sorceress in tow. His charm quickly captivated the citizens, rising to the office of Town Crier when Samian Ware departed the city. He joined CoSL to fight for his new home, one of which he was fiercely proud. He fought at both the battle of Xorhun, and at the final defeat of Nemini, but he was perhaps most proud of saving the elven twins from Brynwood. His brief life was eventful, and he brought much happiness to those who knew him.

A friend to many, Mavros will be missed by all who knew him. He leaves behind many who grieve his passing, and an ever growing family of rabbits, now residing in the Temple of Torm.
