Throughout his time in Illy, me and Amroth have not been the best of friend. I have several mails in my inbox that shows an angry side that most of Illy has never glimpsed. But we all have that darker side, and whatever you may say about Amroth is that he hid that side well.
We fought in Illy, in a war longer than nearly any other. But when we surrendered, left DB, he gave us mercy- allowed us tto go free without any war costs. This is something that many would not have done, and over time I started to regard him as something approaching a friend. It cannot be said that we were ever the best of friends, but ever since the end of the war I've regarded him with increasing respect.
My thoughts go out to his family, and in particular the grandchild he had a few months ago. RIP.

My thoughts and deepest respect are offered to the family and friends of Amroth. Amroth, in our brief and exceptional encounters, you always demonstrated the most honorable and noble intentions and actions. AmrothAnguireal, man of honor, will be sorely missed.

Andúnë
Lauca, carnë quilë

milyavë orala i hroan serë.
Anvanima, i cala i Valaron
anta nómë huinin i lómio

i Eldannar Cuiviénendë, tírala i eleni
Sunset
A warm, red hue takes
over the world, overwhelming the senses.
Nienna’s lament
still echoes in the fading trees.
Soft sleep takes over the mind,
gently urging the body to rest.
So beautiful, the light of the Valar
makes room for the shadows of the night.
A gift of Arda, to all its precious creatures
a blanket of darkness for all that dwell hither
from the birds in Yavanna’s trees, resting their songs
to the Elf-folk by Cuiviénen lake, gazing at the stars.
'Aurë entuluva!

Hail to very honourable man.
From the moment Amroth invited me to join the Eternal Champions, he was generous and was always there to assist or advice you. He demonstrated a level of honour that you could only admire.
Amroth showed me what it was like to be apart of an alliance and he make Illy a better experience for all our alliance members, as he was always happy to chat about anything and everything.
Given the money, I would have gladly flown half away around the world to met him in person and happily called him a friend.
He will be certainly missed in the Eternal Champions and Illy.
Hail Amroth, the Eternal Champion.

I have been trying to figure out what words could be used to express the loss of such a great player, there truly are no words that measure up. There are very few players in these types of games that stand for something. I am proud to know just a few. This game was shaped by AA and those that shared his ideals. It is because of those ideals that new players are allowed to grow and are not tortured by bigger players. He stood up many times and stated he would not allow it. He fought in wars over it. This shaped Illy. I know the Dev's didn't know him personally, but he did help shape the game they built and continue to build. He was the friend you needed when times were tough, the protector of the new and defenseless. He deserves to be remembered as all great heroes are. He was the epitomey of a Champion.
I think he deserves at least an eternal flame to be lit and placed in this game as a tribute to him. I don't think that is much to ask. What do you all think? An enternal flame, for an Eternal Champion?
Regardless, I will name my next city Eternal Flame in his memory.

Perhaps a memorial monument somewhere near 0|0, that could be visited by spies to read the inscription - it lists
all people that the game has lost in this way. One square in 4 million.
Actually, the in-game programming of this is the easy bit. The problem is the real-life admin of such a scheme, the delicacy with which it must be handled, and the reasonable verification of the circumstances. As a side-note, I think that only a small proportion of real-life losses would be reported to any GMs or players here; many accounts would simply become inactive.
