It is with a heavy heart I bring the sad news that Bheldar yesterday gave his last vitae in a noble sacrafice to save fellow clan members and friends. Without hestation and thought for himself and such noble deed will earn its place in the great book.

I have returned with his body to the chapel of rest and arranged a guard of honour to stand watch.

The prayers of the Soulforger will be made for his return to the clan

Bheldar gave of himself to deal kill a Gythanki queen, saving everyone else in the group. Only he had the means to defeat the foe, so although out of power, did what was needed to be done, so slaying himself.

We had travelled a few time together before and was a good and competent travel companion, able to slay almost any foe when he put his mind (and quadrax) to the task.

He will be missed for a short time, until his return.

A note arrives.

"I would like to offer my condolences at the passing of Bheldar. He was as grumpy and taciturn as any Dwarf could wish to be.

He died three times on the day. In fact he was only just recovered from the second restoration when he opened up a path through a barrier of Astral Chaos for us. He struggled to maintain his focus but cleared a path perhaps 30 feet long by sheer strength of will. Keeping this open took it's toll and, when the last of us had left the path, we dragged him through where he collapsed exhausted.

It was at this point that the Astral Silverfolk Queen manifested. John destroyed the outer physical shell, Kreeark blasted away that of magic and the spiritual fell to a volley of spirit bolts. That just left the final psychic link holding her to the mortal world. Unfortunately that link was to Bheldar.... we hurt her and we hurt him. John was parrying for all he was worth but eventually he was going to lose and then she would move on to another... and another.

It was at this point that Bheldar concentrated all his strength and let fly with a final psychic assault. With a scream the Queen died.... but the link was still there and dragged Bheldar's soul out of his body, killing him instantly.

If that wasn't bad enough Kreeark, a bird creature from another realm, had not had the power to throw those bolts into the Queen. Now we saw the claw of Drakkon Tempestuous resting on his shoulder and channeling its power through him. In a last gesture of his friendship he transported all of us, building and all, home. Quietly he sank to the floor, wings folded, and his strange bird eyes closed for the final time.

There was a silence amongst us. The quiet of respect. Their bodies will be laid out in honour in crypts for those who wish to visit to see.

A final comment. Some may know of Tharansas. One of, if not the, best bodyguards on Primus. He's a sullen, emotionless and highly focussed individual who takes his work very seriously. He stood by Bheldar's body with a troubled look. He said, in the hearing of us all, that if Bheldar returned he would be his bodyguard for a day to pay the debt he owed him. There was no swearing of an oath, just his word. That was good enough for me and, in my opinion, unbreakable.

Yorso Dedd.
Doctor of Divinity.

P.s. I too owe a debt to Bheldar. Should Clan Earthsunder need my help they have only to ask."

I had been sent by the Queen to make sure you all stayed safe, well that went a bit wrong, so I shall enter her audience chamber this morning with the largest ales I can find, where we shall raise our tankards high in honour of those who have fallen. I also have no doubt that the Queen will start devising a plan to sneak off and pay her respects.

Brave we’re both our fallen companions and yes let’s be blunt tears were shed for them both

May you both return after a good drink with the soulforger

I had not met Kreeark before our outing so I did not know him well. He was a reserved bird, but clearly very good at what he did. His willingness to lay down his life for a group of people he did not know is a testament to his bravery and willingness to help others.

I hope his turn on the wheel is smooth and fruitful and that we meet again.

Bheldar was on my first mercenary mission with me. We travelled together several times and I valued his wisdom and insight.

He was graced with powers of the mind, magic, spirit, the earth and an axe that could do most of those too!

I am sure he will return to us just as, if not more potent! I'll raise an ale or seven to him and his axe.

Ancestors, welcome Bheldar to the Halls of the Dead, let him eat, drink and rest among you until he feels ready to join us once more.

See also Kreeark, not one of us, but one who gave of himself to help our clan. I honour and thank him.

Bheldar was pivotal in the early years of the setting up of the Earthsunder clan.

His strength of mind was second to none as was his composure and self assuredness.

It is often said 'Tell me who you are with and I will tell you who you are...' and as such words cannot express the loss we will all feel from the passing of this stout dwarf nor encompass what a kind and decent dwarf Bheldar was to us all.

It comes as no surprise to me that his final moments led to the success of the mission nor that his self sacrifice led to the saving of other members of the clan.

It was never his ambition to be a 'hero' and yet, here we all are mourning his loss as one nonetheless.

His triumphs were his achievements and the affect he had on those who knew him is without measure.

Some may ask why he was taken from us and mention the words 'unfair' and 'stolen' and I am certain that he himself would say that he was 'called'.

We must try to remember in our own lives the purpose and quiet dignity he tried to bring to his life and the passion to make life a meaningful experience.

You will be missed brother.
