Erschel Byron, First Admiral of the Ringed Seas and Harbourmaster to S.P.H

[Gumba]

Erschel was an shocktropper soldier from Cormyr that awoken in the City the day he was supposed to retire and live the dream of spending all his fortune in an all-expenses-paid fishing trip at the Sea of Fallen Stars. A foul-mouthed, inconsequential, senile man that didn't fear death because in his mind he had already lived a full life. This got himself into a lot of PVPs, mostly against lawful retainers who would hate him for it.

Still, he didnt let his dream vanish and chose to build himself a vessel so he could explore the rivers and sea of the City and finaly have a fishing trip of his own.  He first tried to find a big tree to make his boat, to which he chose the Oakrest Oak. This ended up in a couple fights against city militia and retainers who saw fit to put him into his place, but overal he prevailed.

As time passed, he realized no one was going to help him build his boat, unless he gave them something back until one day, his quartermaster, Furky (Furin) suggested he should rebuild a harbour in the ring 97 and he thought this could actually work. He started coming up with a project and assembling a crew to fulfill this vision. A place of neutrality, away from the wards law and tyranical grasp. He teamed up with a lot of perculiar characters, with different agendas, but all ended up joining forces for the vision he had was broad and woul have proved very fruitful to all should it be completed. Managing to reach 18 direct players on this Hub/faction and a lot of indirect helpers and supporters. In all our initiatives, plots, raising gold, trash, fishing competitions, we've involved exactly 54 characters in getting stuff done. It was awesome.

Going to take some time off EfU, its going to be hard for me, since I love questing and quest trains, but this concept was so intensive and demanded so much of me, I think I need a break. I should be back next year, in january or february with another concept. Thanks for everyone who put up with me and helped me on this. All good friends, both PC and DMs, OOCly and ICly I've made in this concept. It was a blast gaming with you in this PC and I look forward to our next ones.

He lived a really wacky life, adopting and nursing a goblin, which then grew up and came to visit him. He also adopted a PC girl Bulma, that became a kobold later on, which was amazing.


Took a lot of folks on fishing trips around the City, giving them uniforms so they look like proper sailors.


Happy days, after 1 billion years, my first app passed on EfU ever. I truly hate apping.


This was right after we launched the Harbour.


One of his many meetings with his leaderships of Swaddle Point Harbour, couple folks missing.


Peak performance, the fact I always play 1-death-only pcs allowed me to become this sort of dude.


Then came the DM events tuned up to keep me humble, nice cool deaths though.


TOOT TOOT... Some people's going to miss the train. Was aiming to reach 100 Orc, 50 on each sheppernine, 25 orog, 25 ogre bog, but that didn't happen.


In the end he got his fishing trip, with the crew he was given to be his throughout eternity.

This one was so bad, I chose to turn it into an offering to Pitter Petter in order to get a Trash Boat. RIP


Sea Wolf, his Falchion. Real OP on questing, if you ask me.


The Seal of Harbourmaster, whoever holds this is the rightful ruler of Swaddle Point Harbour

Odette was entirely unimpressed with Erschel at first but building the harbour into what it is now and what it could be further into the future was just mindboggling insane and impressive. Amazing work.

[Empress of Neon]

A genuinely likeable wretch of a pirate who set the foundations for oodles of new development in the setting.

He should be remembered ig :)

One hell of a guy. I'll miss Byron.

Best admiral ever.

I'll never forget that 20+ real life minute stand off as to who would pay the 50 gold cost to get back from Trash Island.

Did not meet with him often, but he was hillarious the times I did encounter him. Loved it.
