Roxi, Chancellor of The Annatar, past away early Friday morning March 24th.
This post is for the community to share thier wonderful times with the rest of the community. Please post your experiences with Roxi and help us all with her passing.
Roxi was maybe the nicest person I've ever known, she was the last person she ever thought about and would do absolutely anything to help another person. Each day it saddens me she is gone, and the last month without her hasn't been the same horizons.
Horizons was her escape from her real world disabilities, and we were her family. If we could all be a little more like her, the world would be a better place.
Goodbye Roxi
There was a time, seems like forever ago now, when Roxi was Roxie. She came over to Istaria with Dragonsbreath (her RL brother), Zebius, Daneel (now ofThe Gilded),CrystalMist, and a few others in the earliest of days here. Roxi actually ran the guild back in beta3.
<small wry smile> some things never changed in practice.
Roxi took up the job of Mentor when we first rearranged things in guild, which meant that she took the lead in helping Newly Gifted get started here. She took up building in a grand way, and dare I say 20% of the materials in any and all structures built by our guild or our friends were built by Roxi. And all the while, she still kept our Archives and Guild Vaults. She served as one of our three guild Chancellors for over a year and a half. For you see, she lived in Istaria...
...for most of the two and a half years here, the one thing you could be nearly sure of was finding Roxi in Istaria whenever you awoke, be it night or day. If she wasn't in for more than a day, it was rare. She was away longer, but only twice (RL relocations both times)
She really did live here, too. She ran around, jumped, got tickled and laughed, and got all dreamy-eyed when our bravest of Dwarves (Grummel) would stride past. She could hunt, and got pretty darn good at it in later days. She even learned to survive Darkstorm's "ritual eating" form of greeting.
She was the heart and soul of The Annatar, no slight to our fellows, but she was.
Everything she touched, she made better. She always had more care for the people she knew here (and their RL families) than she ever had for any troubles she had of her own.
I would like to think she is in a better place now, no sickness, no pain, but maybe it is just simpler to think of it like this...
Heaven neededa Guild Archivist, so the Good Lord asked her to come run things for him there.
Goodbye, Roxi.
She touched the ground, and flowers grew.
She touched the sky, and rainbows grew.
She touched our hearts, and love grew.
A hole in the heart can never be filled. Ours hearts are expanded though from knowing the person we've lost
wowsers, my greatest condolences to the Annatars... a hole has been left that only memories cover now... *weaves a silk rose and places it in memory of Roxi* [W]
My best (and most recent) memory of working with Roxi I'll share here. It provides somewhat of an example to those who may follow in her footsteps (but who may never fill her shoes).
Sslanis Mine build-a-thon. We had a few small teams working furious paces to get the mine running. Some resources were being tackled by individuals. Others were "in the area" of other resources. Roxi was one of these. She was out getting iron (which, incidentally, happened to be our last resource needed) in Aughundell. We had a couple people out there as well. She immediately asked us what we were working on and if she could help. It wasn't long before we had three iron processors, two people hauling iron to Acul, one person kept busy with processing bars into construction units, and another taking the units and placing. It seemed as though we couldn't get someone back to Aughundell to keep her from having a full inventory and waiting at the smelter. She didn't get impatient. She merely smiled and said "Oh, that's ok. I'll hand off when someone else has room." And she kept right at it. When other people had to leave the team for food or whatever, Roxi stayed right there. She even apologized to me for the one missed handoff because she had gotten up to get a drink. She was committed to seeing the mine open on Sunday, and with her help, that's exactly what we did.
I don't remember how many hours we had running that way, but I always felt I should have apologized to her for monopolizing her time when she had been in the mine working on something else. Instead, she chose to help out the community with the final leg of a large project. For those of you who use Sslanis mine, please stop a moment there and think of this grand lady whose dedication to everyone helped complete it.

The below is the log of our time of Rememberance for Roxi, thanks to Sirra for capturing it from start to finish.
We had the kind company of near 2 score friends and guildmates, and a most gracious apperance of WM David Bowman. You all were just wonderful, and I am sure this will somehow reach Roxi.

[04/09/06 11:07:59] Melroy says, 'Please pardon me as I do not recall the emotes here.'
[04/09/06 11:08:24] Yuusuke says, 'When time came for this guild to grow as a part of the shard called Dawn...'
[04/09/06 11:08:55] Yuusuke says, '..Roxi could not come with us here at first...'
[04/09/06 11:08:57] You tell Melroy, '*hugs*'
[04/09/06 11:09:16] Yuusuke says, '...but she made every effort to do so, and within months, was back with us here.'
[04/09/06 11:09:46] Yuusuke says, 'As the guild grew, Roxi was called upon to take the task of Mentor... '
[04/09/06 11:09:46] Melroy nods respectfully
[04/09/06 11:10:07] Yuusuke says, '..the guild office that specifically helps the Newly Gifted...'
[04/09/06 11:10:50] Yuusuke says, '... and she pioneered that job for us. We continue to have Mentors, and they work both within and without the guild...'
[04/09/06 11:11:10] Yuusuke says, '...and bring honor to the work Roxi began there every day.'
[04/09/06 11:11:53] Yuusuke says, 'Roxi became one of our three Chancellors, and was the most patient of Archivists and planners that any guild could wish to have...'
[04/09/06 11:12:26] Yuusuke says, '...and the beautiful Plot here in back back held in her name remains a testimony to her fine work at that.'
[04/09/06 11:12:34] Yuusuke says, '*Back Bay'
[04/09/06 11:13:10] Yuusuke says, 'She was my friend, a fellow Ranger, and the most caring companion any could hope to know.'
[04/09/06 11:13:12] Sirra thinks Yuusuke is a little choked up
[04/09/06 11:13:40] Yuusuke says, 'We are all honored to have known her...<is choked up>'
[04/09/06 11:14:19] Ryunaker nods softly.
[04/09/06 11:14:36] Yuusuke says, '...and if there is one sign that she made life better here for everyone she met, it is that you all have been so kind as to come here today to be with her, and see the fine memorial the Empire did place for her.'
[04/09/06 11:14:36] Thundar drinks another ale in her honor.
[04/09/06 11:14:47] Nyxxell wipes a tear
[04/09/06 11:14:52] Yuusuke tries to smile
[04/09/06 11:15:08] Carsia frowns and lowers her head
[04/09/06 11:15:33] Yuusuke says, 'Now, if any would wish to speak of Roxi, please come over to where I stand now, take my place, and feel free to say what you wish.'
[04/09/06 11:15:51] Sirra wipes away a tear
[04/09/06 11:15:58] Yuusuke says, 'I... I will sit with Thundar and consider if an ale would suit me.'
[04/09/06 11:16:05] Yuusuke bows to Melroy
[04/09/06 11:16:25] Melroy says, 'Thank you for the kind words.'
[04/09/06 11:16:39] Thundar hands Yuusuke an ale.
[04/09/06 11:16:41] Melroy says, 'And thank you all for coming here.'
[04/09/06 11:16:49] Ryunaker just sits quietly.

[04/09/06 11:17:09] Melroy says, 'I just wanted to tell you all how much you all ment to her.'
[04/09/06 11:17:10] Dierdra bows her head nad wipes a tear
[04/09/06 11:17:47] Melroy says, 'Most of you prob know she was in a nursing home for the past year or so even tho she was only 55'
[04/09/06 11:18:32] Melroy says, 'Once I was able to get her dial up the first thing she did was log into here to visit with her friends'
[04/09/06 11:18:53] Melroy says, 'ANd i think she spent most all her waking hours her'

[04/09/06 11:19:52] Melroy says, 'Ya well she was on enough drugs to keep her asleep a lot'
[04/09/06 11:19:56] Yuusuke tells you, 'no clue then.'
[04/09/06 11:20:38] Melroy says, 'But all I wish to ask is for all of you to move on with humor and not let her passing keep you sad for a long time.'
[04/09/06 11:21:04] Grummel has logged in.
[04/09/06 11:21:09] Nyxxell nods she wouldn't want that
[04/09/06 11:21:25] Cebillis nods agreeing
[04/09/06 11:21:30] Ryunaker nods.
[04/09/06 11:21:51] Thundar finishes his ale and smiles
[04/09/06 11:21:58] Melroy says, 'anyone who wishes to contact me may do so at [email protected] and as soon as I know more I will respond'
[04/09/06 11:22:49] Melroy silenty moves aside so others may speak
[04/09/06 11:24:02] Nyxxell sits besides Roxi

[04/09/06 11:27:35] Thundar says, 'Well Carsia. Take a good look around you.'
[04/09/06 11:27:38] Nyxxell says, 'I was very surprised but I thought in fun I would say Oh Roxi u want to be Taller then '
[04/09/06 11:27:43] Thundar says, 'They are all Special.'
[04/09/06 11:27:43] Yuusuke gently pets Carsia...

[04/09/06 11:29:17] Thundar says, 'I only wished I got to know her better. '
[04/09/06 11:29:32] Thundar says, '*Done*'
[04/09/06 11:30:28] Yuusuke offers Thundar a handclasp in thanks.
[04/09/06 11:30:31] Nyxxell says, 'any way we laughed and She said no ! she does so much ! '

[04/09/06 11:32:01] Melroy says, 'aye'
[04/09/06 11:32:15] Fiko hugs Nyxxell.
[04/09/06 11:32:29] Hallia says, 'Well.....'
[04/09/06 11:32:35] Nyxxell thx Fiko hugs her back
[04/09/06 11:32:43] Hallia says, 'I did not know Roxi for very long....'
[04/09/06 11:33:20] Hallia says, 'but she had a heart to big to discribe and a wonderful way on looking at things.....'
[04/09/06 11:33:55] Hallia says, 'I was a real friend and a wonderful person...'
[04/09/06 11:34:01] Hallia says, '*She'
[04/09/06 11:34:31] Hallia says, 'She helped me understand the game and made it enjoyable to learn'
[04/09/06 11:34:58] Hallia says, 'I don't think we can discribe her in words....she was to great.'
[04/09/06 11:35:03] Hallia says, 'Done'
[04/09/06 11:35:10] Hallia bows to all
[04/09/06 11:35:54] Grummel says, 'Im not on my normal computer so I might be slow in typing/responding'
[04/09/06 11:36:32] Grummel says, 'What can I say about Roxi that wasnt already said '
[04/09/06 11:36:56] Grummel says, 'I can only say what she meant to me'
[04/09/06 11:38:17] Grummel says, 'When I joined the guild Roxi was already here..being a dwarf with a long mustache/beard I w'
[04/09/06 11:38:41] Grummel says, 'I was the perfect partner for Roxi with the blue hair'
[04/09/06 11:39:14] Nyxxell she worried so about that blue hair , smiles
[04/09/06 11:39:16] Grummel says, 'She was always making sure that I had the top of the line equipment and gear'
[04/09/06 11:40:10] Grummel says, 'Even though she didnt hunt that much she made sure to comb the connies lookinf for that elusive tech or form I needed'
[04/09/06 11:40:50] Grummel says, 'When it came time for me to work on my crafts she was there with the raw materials pushing me along'
[04/09/06 11:41:34] Grummel says, 'She did it because she wanted to..She did it at the cost of her own crafting'
[04/09/06 11:42:48] Grummel says, 'If she wasnt helping me she was helping the community...many a times I would log in and find her swining her pick axe at some rock or stone for a community project'
[04/09/06 11:44:28] Grummel says, 'All I know is that she was a great person and although she is no longer her, I know she is here in spirit and I know Roxi is saying/asking why are we standing around ..theres work to be done'
[04/09/06 11:45:04] Yuusuke grins a little at that
[04/09/06 11:45:07] Grummel says, 'I will carry Roxi in my heart and hope she is in a better place'
[04/09/06 11:45:16] C`gan stifles a giggle.
[04/09/06 11:45:25] Grummel says, 'You will be missed Roxi'
[04/09/06 11:45:32] Grummel says, 'Done'
[04/09/06 11:45:33] Melroy nods his thanks at that thought
[04/09/06 11:45:36] Ochre gently smiles
[04/09/06 11:45:49] Dierdra nods
[04/09/06 11:45:54] Epoc says, 'Well said'
[04/09/06 11:46:10] Yuusuke says, 'aye <nods>'
[04/09/06 11:46:18] Grummel says, 'Bye Roxi'
[04/09/06 11:46:19] Nyxxell Hugs Grum
[04/09/06 11:46:20] Sirra hugs Grummel
[04/09/06 11:46:32] Eileen nods.
[04/09/06 11:46:36] Melroy says, 'Never gone just watching'
[04/09/06 11:47:27] You say, 'I don't really know what to say, we Saris have a differnet view on loss than others...'
[04/09/06 11:48:29] You say, 'Roxi was my friend from the time I joined The Annatar. She greeted me and made me feel like one of the family from that moment...'
[04/09/06 11:49:49] You say, 'much of what she did for The Annatar and Istaria's already been said, she was at the heart of many of the rebuilding projects throughout the world...'
[04/09/06 11:49:50] Carsia nuzzles Ryunaker soflty trying to hold her tears back
[04/09/06 11:49:56] Dierdra nods hello to ShadowWyrm
[04/09/06 11:50:11] Ryunaker nuzzles back gently with a soft sigh.
[04/09/06 11:50:23] Yuusuke bows to Friend ShadowWyrm.
[04/09/06 11:51:10] You say, 'the one thing she left me with though, was a lesson in patience. Roxi was always the most patient person I know, she never lost her temper, she never got upset when things didn't go her way...'
[04/09/06 11:51:41] Yuusuke has logged out.
[04/09/06 11:52:21] You say, 'That's something I've learned from her. Roxi, you're the best friend any Saris could wish for.'
[04/09/06 11:52:40] Sirra is done and wipes a tear
[04/09/06 11:52:56] Sirra salutes Roxi
[04/09/06 11:53:01] Dierdra comforts Sirra
[04/09/06 11:53:01] Melroy nods his special thanks to Sirra
[04/09/06 11:54:22] Fiko began using Priceless Staff of Ribeth.
[04/09/06 11:54:27] Nyxxell says, 'Yuusuke will be back asap .. Please if there is anyone else '
[04/09/06 11:55:55] Eileen thinks that she knows someone there where Roxi has gone. If that's indeed so, then he will show her around and make her feel as welcome and befriended as Roxi made us all feel here. Let it be so.
[04/09/06 11:56:16] Fiko says, 'Roxi was the unbending pillar that kept the Annatar organized, passed messages for people, always found what was needed, no matter how great or small thier need was, and had the patience of the rocks that she worked with in her masonry.'
[04/09/06 11:56:50] Sirra thinks Roxi will rebuild the afterlife as she did Istaria
[04/09/06 11:57:18] Fiko says, 'I weep at the loss of such a kind soul.'
[04/09/06 11:58:07] Sseric says, 'I only met Roxi a few times...'
[04/09/06 11:58:30] Yuusuke has logged in.
[04/09/06 11:58:36] Sseric says, 'but I have huntedd with The Annatar quite a few times'
[04/09/06 11:58:47] Sseric says, 'There is much honor here'
[04/09/06 11:58:59] Sseric says, 'I shall hunt in her name'
[04/09/06 11:59:10] Sseric says, 'For Roxi!'
[04/09/06 11:59:15] Sseric lets loose a tremendous battlecry!
[04/09/06 11:59:29] Nyxxell here here !
[04/09/06 11:59:35] Sseric says, 'thank you for letting me be a part of this memorial'
[04/09/06 12:00:01] Carsia cheers and agrees with Sseric
[04/09/06 12:00:32] ShadowWyrm used Dragon Form.
[04/09/06 12:00:46] Hallia lets loose a tremendous battlecry!
[04/09/06 12:00:52] Nich says, 'Roxi was a whole lot in a really tiny package; for anyone that knew her, they were the lucky ones.'
[04/09/06 12:01:13] Grummel looks very sad.
[04/09/06 12:01:31] Carsia nuzzles and trys to comfert Grummel
[04/09/06 12:01:36] Nich says, 'I have never met a person so selfless, who spent every minute looking to help others learn and work. She spent time and kept lists of what everyone needed/wanted, and looked endlessly for those things.'
[04/09/06 12:02:22] Nich says, 'How can you ever repay someone like that? And even though her connection tried to hold her back, it couldn't, and she did more work than anymore really knows.'
[04/09/06 12:03:24] Nich says, 'And even though she wasn't much of a hunter, we did manage to coax her out every so often and let her smack around some golems :)'
[04/09/06 12:04:26] Nich sighs
[04/09/06 12:05:19] Nyxxell smiles at Nich well said
[04/09/06 12:05:30] Nich says, 'For someone who wasn't a killer she learned fast though, and it did bring a smile to my face everytime I heard her kill a named creature while looking for more loot... she never stopped giving'
[04/09/06 12:06:01] Nich says, 'I still and do miss her still'
[04/09/06 12:07:30] Carsia says, 'she will be missed, but not forgotten. Her name will be remember through out the lands of Isteria as to be knowned to all soon.'
[04/09/06 12:08:04] C`gan says, 'Last time I talked before a crowd this big, we were opening a mine.'
[04/09/06 12:08:32] Cebillis chuckles
[04/09/06 12:08:32] C`gan says, 'That mine, found by Sslanis, is complete because of Roxi.'
[04/09/06 12:09:00] C`gan says, 'The Sunday of the build-a-thon on it, we were working iron frantically to get it done before the end of the day.'
[04/09/06 12:09:27] C`gan says, 'We had people working in Aughundell and Roxi happened to be there.'
[04/09/06 12:10:22] C`gan says, 'I don't know why exactly she was working iron at that point, only that she jumped right in with our iron team, making bars frantically so they could be taken up to Acul and made into units to place.'
[04/09/06 12:11:24] C`gan says, 'That was how she was with the projects and the teams. There was no hesitation. If she knew something was going on, she would just "happen" to be in the right spot and oh, could she hand off some of this extra stuff she was getting?'
[04/09/06 12:12:33] C`gan says, 'There were times when she'd gaily announce that this resource or that resource was complete on a build. Much of the time, she'd taken it upon herself to just do it, without saying a word.'
[04/09/06 12:12:36] Telak comforts nyxxell
[04/09/06 12:13:06] C`gan says, 'That is the Roxi I will always remember.'
[04/09/06 12:13:36] Fiko nods, "That was her way, to sneak in help where none was expected."
[04/09/06 12:16:03] Cebillis says, 'Like many others...'
[04/09/06 12:16:23] Cebillis says, 'My time and honor in knowing Lady Roxi was brief.'
[04/09/06 12:16:46] Cebillis says, 'I actually met her through a crafting agreement with Sir Grummel.'
[04/09/06 12:17:08] Sirra pat's Grummel on the back
[04/09/06 12:17:55] Cebillis says, 'When ever I spoke with her she played the part of Mentor, tutoring me in the ways of crafting I had yet to learn and the little secrets each school had to offer.'
[04/09/06 12:18:30] Cebillis says, 'Like I have said it was brief in knowing her, but I will say I will continue getting to know her in another way...'
[04/09/06 12:19:04] Cebillis says, 'In knowing you Noble members of The Annatar I see Roxi and the influence she has had on you...'
[04/09/06 12:19:35] Fiko lets out a sigh of relief.
[04/09/06 12:19:59] Fiko whispers, "the Empire has a ban on the study of encromancy you know."
[04/09/06 12:20:40] Cebillis says, 'I look forward to our times together Annatar, and please remmeber that Roxi's greatest gift to us all is how she changed our lives for the better. I applaud you Annatar and the family you have created along with Roxi.'
[04/09/06 12:20:56] Cebillis bows low with his fist in hand
[04/09/06 12:21:11] Yuusuke bows in thanks
[04/09/06 12:21:14] Epoc says, 'Here here friend!'
[04/09/06 12:21:37] Yuusuke says, 'Might there be another to speak? <waits a bit>'
[04/09/06 12:22:31] Yuusuke says, 'Very well then...'
[04/09/06 12:22:44] Yuusuke says, 'Please bear with me a moment friends...'
[04/09/06 12:23:01] Yuusuke says, '..as in the lands of my ancestors...'
[04/09/06 12:23:32] Yuusuke says, '...a Spirit is never left even enshrined, without protections from the mortal world...'
[04/09/06 12:23:46] Yuusuke moves over to the Monument
[04/09/06 12:24:30] Yuusuke says, 'It is known that things must be kept pure... and clean....'
[04/09/06 12:24:30] Eileen stands respectfully
[04/09/06 12:24:58] Yuusuke holds up a potion of [<!--LI 5708923 10549546>Rice Vinegar<!--/LI>]
[04/09/06 12:25:34] Hallia holds up a potion of [<!--LI 10653467 10548534>Rice Vinegar<!--/LI>]
[04/09/06 12:25:44] Yuusuke carefully washes the base of the Monument with the vinegar...
[04/09/06 12:26:14] Yuusuke holds up a portion of [<!--LI 5708923 10549597>Ground Salt<!--/LI>]
[04/09/06 12:26:22] Hallia carefully washes the base of the Monument in the vinegar
[04/09/06 12:26:47] Hallia holds up a potion of [<!--LI 10653467 10548095>Ground Salt<!--/LI>]
[04/09/06 12:27:08] Yuusuke casts salt powder about the area.
[04/09/06 12:27:08] Yuusuke began casting Purify II.
[04/09/06 12:27:12] Yuusuke cast Purify II.
[04/09/06 12:27:44] Hallia casts salt powder about the area.

[04/09/06 12:28:14] Hallia holds up a cup of [<!--LI 10653467 10548157>Milled Rice<!--/LI>]
[04/09/06 12:28:22] Yuusuke places the rice beside the Monument so that the Spirit has pure food to sustain it.
[04/09/06 12:28:51] Nyxxell wipes a tear
[04/09/06 12:29:00] Melroy bows
[04/09/06 12:29:15] Telak comforts nyxxell with a hug.
[04/09/06 12:29:16] Hallia places the rice beside the Monument so that the Spirit has pure food to sustain it.
[04/09/06 12:29:23] Yuusuke says, 'Be well and safe Roxi. we will visit you often...'
[04/09/06 12:29:23] Sseric growls with ferocity!
[04/09/06 12:29:30] Sseric says, 'For Roxi!'
[04/09/06 12:29:35] Sseric lets loose a tremendous battlecry!
[04/09/06 12:29:38] Nyxxell nods
[04/09/06 12:29:38] Curion wipes a tear
[04/09/06 12:29:43] Fiko began using Priceless Staff of Ribeth.
[04/09/06 12:29:50] Yuusuke bows low and slowly withdraws.
[04/09/06 12:29:51] Melroy says, 'Thank you all'
[04/09/06 12:29:52] Telak looks very sad.
[04/09/06 12:29:54] Hallia bows to the Monument
[04/09/06 12:30:11] Yuusuke says, 'Thank you one and all.'
[04/09/06 12:30:28] Fiko places a small bag at the base of the monument.
[04/09/06 12:30:33] Carsia puts some Ground salt down towards Roxi's monument and slowly backs away, Noding in remembering a memory of her.
[04/09/06 12:30:39] Eileen says, 'Thank you for allowing us to attend.'
[04/09/06 12:30:41] You look very sad.
[04/09/06 12:30:49] Yuusuke says, 'Please feel free to leave any remembernces here, or with Melroy.'
[04/09/06 12:30:52] Fiko says, 'some extra sleeping powder in case you can't find your rest.'

[04/09/06 12:30:55] Cebillis shouts, 'For Roxi!!'
[04/09/06 12:31:26] Fiko hugs Nyxxell.
[04/09/06 12:31:30] Yuusuke says, 'It was all we could do Melroy GreatOne... I wish it could have been more.'
[04/09/06 12:31:54] Carsia says, 'Thank you Melroy.. For letting me see her.. Even though I do not know her personally.. I still wanted to show my respects.'

***end log***
...visited the statue again today, 10 years since the last time. Nice and sad at the same time. Place deserted.
