Seemed appropriate to start a thread to say goodbye to our friend, AA. He lost his battle today with cancer, leaving behind his wife, 2 children, with another on the way......Prayers with his family.

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.

Didnt know him as well as some here...and only through some mails overs the last two months between us, that we turned from possible enemies (illy world) to potential friends.
I for one will miss the character of Amroth and the person behind it.

Amroth and I shared a rare Birthday (Halloween) and he was my Pumpkin Brother. His generosity and spirit and character were noble and true. Even though I was older then AA - I used to say to him that I hoped that I could someday grow up and be like him. He was and shall always be an Eternal Champion !

A sad day
AA - You certainly were a character like no other in the world of Illyriad - Merry and dedicated - a true hero of the GC
Rest In Peace

When I first started playing Illy, Amroth was unfailingly generous with resources, with game knowledge and suggestions and with encouragement. When he was away on vacation during the time I was new, he left instructions with his sitter to send me daily resources. That is the kind of man he was. He spoke with such joy and pride of children and wife, always pausing playing to go and read to his youngest son. When he went on vacation for a week, he left instructions with his sitter to send me resources daily...that is the kind of man he was. He will be sorely missed, by me and by the Illy community.
This past May, he and I were mailing back and forth and he told me of a book he had written and had found a publisher for. If anyone knows the title and/or publisher, please post here as many that I have mentioned this to are interested as well.
Condolences to his real life family and to his many, many in-game friends.

I am devastated, all of my armies banners are now at half-mast.
I hope the gods of Illy will see it in their hearts to raise a memorial to this valiant fallen warrior.

I am truly saddened by this loss.
I considered Amroth a friend.
My thoughts are with you.
