((The exchange below took place about a month ago, and we failed to log it, so screehsots is all we have! For a bit of background, Saga member Kuladen was a notorious Wood Elf Bard of legendary proportions in EQ1 Firiona Vie days... He's left quite an impact in the RP community, and is still a part of storylines apparently! There is an NPC Bard in Willow Wood whose name is Kualdin and we don't think it's a coincidence...

Finding Kuladen's Daughter, or, Why Bou Should Never, Ever Leave Saga Members Unsupervised
It was another pleasant eve in Saga's feisty tavern. Two Ayr'dal walk in and settle at a table, their names are Jezerai and Zandreas. Anaris the Koada'dal was sitting nearby browsing a magazine. Oozag the Ogre was having some swill and scratching himself in deep thought. Conversations started, and the two Ayr'dal told Saga members abount their rough childhood growing up as street kids in Maj'Dul and almost being sold into slavery. The tavern patrons were outraged at the thought of child slavery, and thought of starting an organization to ban slavery. But somehow, at some point, the good intentions faded and a business opportunity manifested itself:

Ah yes, the wonder and enourmous ego that is Kuladen, the bard without nipples.
I always loved his sense of humor and thought he did a great job when he admin'd the unofficial FV Ezboard community.
ahahahah! yes! No nipples! :2funny:
Oh jeez, was that the time he changed all the C's to K's and added all sorts of crazy emoticons? Ahh good times...
Kuladen/Alwynn is awesome... I miss him around here! He hasn't been around the forums in a while...
AHAHHAAHa! Great read, thank you for posting! :kia
Beeker/Alwynn/Kuladen is off teaching teenagers. He stopped gaming a while ago; he sometimes pops in to see what is what.
I miss him too. Ran across some emails we exchanged a looong time ago. /sigh
Hehe. Thank you for that, Ana. Greatest, sexiest bard. Ever. Or so I've heard. :P
For whatever reason, be it stirrings of nostalgia or what have you, the references prevalent throughout your log had me wanting to dig around on the old boards and re-read a story (http://p068.ezboard.com/fournewboardfrm80.showMessage?topicID=44.topic) he wrote several years back. It remains one of my favorites.
Wow, that was a really good story you linked, Jasyn.
The coda at the end even made my eyes a little watery. So simple, yet so powerful.
Oh I love that story! I also love the one of when Kuladen and Alwynn first arrived at the Queen's Colony island...
