Mother Yseult Vatein

[Hallowed Incandescence]

::[ City Sending by Yseult Vatein : Sanctuary, I come to you today with a bit of sad news. ]::

::[ City Sending by Yseult Vatein : When I took up this Prefecture, I did so with a great deal of hope. I believed very strongly that by working together and making our voices heard that we might be able to make a much brighter future for this city that we call home. ]::

::[ City Sending by Yseult Vatein : Sadly, in my time as one of your officials, I have learned that this is not the case. To go forward as I have, to assert that all is well while the Vaults prepare to crumble, would be a terrible lie. As such, after much consideration, I have decided to step down from my position as Prefect. ]::

::[ City Sending by Yseult Vatein : Dark times are upon us, Sanctuary. Do not lose sight of the people and things that matter to you. And, as always, do not lose your faith in the Divine. If anything shall save us from ourselves, it is them. ]::

I have decided to quit playing Yseult. Though I enjoyed the roleplay, I really struggled with aspects of the character and came to not really enjoy playing her. Between several plans not quite working out and mechanical issues, I had reached the point where I was logging in more out of a feeling of obligation than really wanting to continue. Because of that I decided it was better to let go.

I made Yseult to help test out a new alternate style of Sorcerer. The only requirements were that the character had to be good, so I quickly spun up a neat little idea for a woman who took her powers as a sign that she was chosen by a higher power. A little zealous, accepting no alternative views from her own on the nature of the Gods and her gift, and very xenophobic in her hatred of the 'wicked' races. I enjoyed the contrast of a kind and optimistic person with a deep hatred for perceived evil creatures. I didn't really have any long-term goals, however, so on a whim I decided to run for Prefect of the Temple, thinking it would be a neat way to involve Clerics and Paladins on the server.

Except, I wound up getting it much sooner than I had expected! And, a few of the chief allies I'd talked about helping set things up with had to leave their characters due to real life concerns. I struggled for a while to recruit others, making calls for faithful people and discussing the potential for an order of knights to make a Crusaders style faction and Get Weird with it. But, it didn't pan out. As a result I had a difficult time deciding what to do with the character, and largely helped support the efforts of political allies. Had things gone differently I had hoped to see her become a little more zealous, believing herself some manner of chosen arbiter of goodness in the city! Unfortunately we never did get to see Exalted Mother Yseult Vatein, a title I was looking forward to forcing people to use when proper power trip mode kicked in.

Big thanks for Blue41, Pandip, SHSLDetective, Red_Judas, Pentaxius, and Rip and Tear. Even while my own shit was faltering you all made the political landscape very fun to work in.

I'm not gonna post all the screenshots I took, but here's a greatest hits gallery:

She was great, I'm sad to see her go.

[Pentaxius]

Yseult was a well needed breath of good in the setting. I enjoyed my time with her a lot. My only regret is that the wedding plot never panned out!

[Blue41]

Nooooooooo

I loved this PC, and while I understand why you decided to retire her- she will be missed.

[Rip and Tear]
