Sunday, November 22, 2009 What: Tenth Anniversary Celebration! Who: Open to the public! Special invitation to Ridgerunners, Norrathian Knights, Fortress of Honor, the Ring of Ten, and The Final Hope Where: TBA When: Evening--probably try to begin around 7pm ET Details It's party time! This is the time to celebrate...us! Lots of fun and games--I have about half a dozen planned, and scads of refreshments, but we'll be flexible; if people get tired of it and want to do something else, that's all right, too. We'll have a little guild business to take care of, in brief; we'll also have some awards and prizes perhaps...overall, though, it'll be a fun time to mess around, enjoy each other's company, and celebrate ten years running. More concrete details will be forthcoming closer to the time, but please be thinking about reminiscences about the Sigils--either being one or interacting with them--that you might like to share...think of your own origins with the Sigils, special memories involving the guild, why you came here, etc. You may have an opportunity to share them, either ingame or in a special thread in the forums...perhaps both. Come celebrate the heritage of the Sigils with us! Looking forward to a good turnout. The Sigils' Anniversary celebration will actually span three days, but the first two (Friday and Saturday) are guild-only; thus, Sigils in Norrath on those days will likely be unavailable for adventuring and unable to invite guests. We trust that our friends will understand the need for this private time among ourselves and come to share in our celebration on the final, culminating day! Keats Lovesonnet One should never take the words of a bard too seriously... Of course, one should never take them too lightly, either. Sigil of the Silver Tongue

The good news is that I will certainly be present on Sunday evening for the festivities. The bad news is that at the moment, the realms of ArEll are going to take precedence for the Friday and Saturday events. There is a chance, if this sore throat persists, that my plans for Saturday will be cut off, but... Either way, I'm looking forward to what I can make

Guests are welcome to observe this traditional Sigils ceremony, or they may arrive a bit later to participate in the other activities. Hope to have a good turnout tonight! See you soon! (Yes, I know I haven't set a location. I'm a bad planner. It will be somewhere that everyone can get to pretty easily, and ports will most likely also be available if necessary.)

I apologize for not being in attendence, I wasn't at home for some of the festivities, and then had some things to take care of in game which were of a unique situation. Being a guild is something very special. Those outside our realm don't quite grasp that. They aren't able to wrap their minds around the idea that the people that exist here are friends, even family. They don't understand that the relationships forged here are long-lasting permanent ones which will enrich and improve lives. They look at our time spent in the world of Norrath as an escape from the real world. We know the truth of it; it's not an escape, it's a continuation. Everything that happens here is very real, the emotions very powerful, the thoughts and feelings absolute and vivid. For a 'game' which has a persistent world to continue for 10+ years is unheard of. People's enthusiasm wanes. Newer, better, shinier alternatives are always on the horizon. Many of us have explored these options, and we have returned. For a guild to persist for 10+ years is truly epic. Moreover, for a guild of this caliber, nay for a family of this caliber to continue on for this length of time, is a testament to the quality of people that are contained within your halls. It's a beacon to all those who look towards it for an example of what could be, and what should be. To come upon one of yours, and to see the tag, <Sigils>, that itself is one of what you all stand for and represent. It's a sigil in and of itself. To look for an official definition of Sigil, you are greeted with the following: "A sigil is a symbol created for a specific magical purpose." While I know that The Sigils represent so very much more than this simple definition could ever express, there is one part of this that is accurate to the letter; A magical purpose. You here, each and every one of you, have created magic with your presence. You are an inspiration to what we all wish, or should wish, that we could be. Our paths are different, but the reverence that I have for you all is not to be mistaken. So to echo my first sentiment, a warm and heartfelt congratulations on your 10th anniversary, and also a thank you. Simply, thank you for being who you are.

In some ways, I would not want to cheapen the sentiment with a simple "Thank you," as I might say to someone who simply held a door open for me, but trying to find more words...well, "more" isn't the point. Thank you, my friend. And I'll be adding this to my list.
