Deepwood Mourns
Posted by Samantha on 12/20/17
It is with great sadness that House Deepwood announces the death of its Sword, Dame Zhayla of Old Oak. Felled by those who would seek to bring great evil upon the Compact, Dame Zhayla will be mourned and missed, not just as our Sword, but as our friend, and our family.
Dame Zhayla came from nothing - arriving on the shores of of our March, she sought service with us in the hope of living a life in which she could make her own choices, and by doing so, be free. She served as a member of our guard, winning acclaim throughout Arx as a fighter, and upon the joyous day of union between Samantha and Rymarr Deepwood, became knighted for her role in the Siege of Arx, as well as ascending to Sword of Deepwood.
Plans for her funeral will be forthcoming. She will be put to rest with the highest honors the March may accord, said over her by Archlector Aureth Grayhope. Our banners will be at half-mast for the remainder of autumn in her honor.
May her soul be welcomed by the Queen of Endings, to be reborn in freedom by Skald's Grace.
