In Memory of Roh Arradeil, late of Imladris

[Ningannel]

Thank you, all of you who've read this and spoken of our dear friend Roh, and for your very kind posts. We appreciate it. If you know of anyone who might wish to come, please give them the link to this thread (perhaps Imladrisians who have migrated to other servers).

I have reported the one offensive post as well as send a request to the poster to remove it, hopefully someone will address it soon.

I've also updated the prior thread with a few suggestions about the get-together on Sunday, I hope it's ok.

Really sorry for your loss. I wish her family, friends, and everyone who knew and loved her all the best.

Gil.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Roh Memorial, I have to say I was completely overwhelmed at all of the people that showed up to remember Roh, fallen of Imladris. It was immensely touching to see familiar faces, and most of all to hear everyone's sentiments, stories, and kind words of comfort. I cried through a bunch of it and probably didn't make a lot of sense, sorry... but it meant a lot, and I'm sure the gathering amused Roh herself So many had such wonderful things to say, I will cherish the thoughts and remember the love you all have for our departed friend.

Thank you to those who came back to Imladris for this event, it shows the bond of a sort of family, and that we take care of our own. I am honoured to be among such decent, kind, caring individuals and (dammit stop making me cry! lol) and ... oh heck. Thank you, everyone

<chases Roh off into the distance, roflstomping orcs along the way>....

Roh wasn't someone that I was very familiar with, directly, but I heard enough about her from our dear Ning and through the RP community. The first encounter I had with her was in my early days of RP, and she remarked on my kinship's having rped in DM's "territory". *shrug* I don't know, but the use of the word amused and bemused me, and still does. I think what impressed me about her was that even after all the drama that is inevitable to happen in online communities, much less RP communities, she was still friendly. Every time there's been some form of drama, I see less familiar faces around. To see Roh waving to me in Bree, sending me a tell that that's her alt and hi how are you doing, I dunno. It made the family feel less like it was dwindling.
I wish I was there for the event last week. I've heard that so many familiar faces showed up for it, and that it felt like a big family

This is the second time I've heard of a player passing, the first was when I started playing around four and a half years ago. I joined Rising Force about a week? after Penvanir passed, and he's still an honorary officer in the kinship. I heard them telling stories about him when I first joined, and it was nice. To hear him honoured, to hear about him, what sort of person he was. I had never met him, but it still made me feel close to his memory.

If Lady Ningannel wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear people's stories of Roh in this thread.
To Roh, and the Darkwood Marauders!

My experience with Roh was rather brief, but she left a lasting impression on me which I won't soon forget.

I'm one of those players who made a few toons on every server so that I could see what each server is like. Suffice it to say - It's tough not having any kind of support when you're first getting started on a server, and often the difference between whether you stay or go is determined by the first few players you meet. When I started on Imladris as a lowly level 10 warden named Profitous, I thought for sure that I was going to have an awful grind ahead of me as there was no armors, weapons, food-stuffs ... well - not really much of anything for sale on the AH, and as I was standing there staring at the auctioneer in the Bree Crafthall, I was thinking - what am I doing here?... when out of nowhere this girl starts a secure trade with me a drops a complete set of level-appropriate weapons on me without wanting anything in return but a simple smile. I was left both dumbfounded & awestruck...That was my first encounter on Imladris with one of Roh's alts named Taewen. I didn't even know who all her alts were until only recently - & only then learned that it was Roh who made my toolset. Roh, who over the course of several days (through her various alts) without ever letting me become any the wiser that just about all my equipment - amour, weapons, toolset, jewelry... most everything had collected - had come in some manner from her.

For me, Roh (in all her guises) IS Imladris, and she will most assuredly be both remembered & sorely missed.
