Passing of Josephine Arcuri
Posted by Cassandra on 01/16/20
It is a tennant of Jayus that dreams and creativity can be fleeting. But during the time that it is in our lives, we retain those memories with a degree of vividness that make the time without them seem drab and grey. So it is true with certain people who come in and out of our lives. Those that burn so bright and give so much, but are often taken from us too soon, leaving only their good works as a lasting mark on the world.
So it goes with Guildmaster Josephine Arcuri, leader of the Crafter's Guild of Arx. Her gift was one few had seen. Her skill and downright intimacy with metals were considered legnedary in Arx. Her work and craftmanship knew few equal. And her understanding of the nature of Jayus and Crafter's Guild itself could not of had a better leader during the time that she held a firm grip on the reigns
S it is with no amount of saddness that I can put into words that I must announce the passing of Guildmaster Arcuri. During an pitched battle in the Oathlands, Josephine Arcuri made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of others. She, understanding the nature of the enemy that those gathered were set against, stepped forward before others, without fear, but with honor and certainty. A sureness that is so rarely seen in our world. She gave her own life, so to save those that traveled with her.
So often it is that we speak of the many accolades of those that have fallen, lionizing them. And perhaps that is just. But I also that the Guildmaster would not ask for such praise heaped upon her, rather only asking that she be remembered fondly and that her works will continue to bring light into the lives they have touched.
It will be up to the Crafter's Guild now to choose their new successor. I have the upmost confidence that whoever is chosen will be more than capable in picking up the bursh for Guildmaster Arcuri left off.
