****************************************************

An Edited log of Seeras Memorial. I started editing on March 10th, just after the anniversary of the memorial from March 8, 2014. Vivienne had posted on FB about Paxle and since I was not there for Paxle's memorial when it was dedicated I decided to work on this.  Some liberty was taken with sequence of events to help with flow. I have an additional log that includes preparations and the meeting after the ceremony, but after a lot of work that whole edit was lost, so I decided to focus on the ceremony itself.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander narrates 'Attendants to the service for Under-Lieutenant Seeras should assemble in Amador Central Square immediately.'

The sun rises over the fields.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander narrates 'The procession to the site of the memorial is leaving the square.'

A Garden in the Park
A small slate paved path leads away from the main open areas of the park sharply down towards a small pond. Trees ring and shade the area, though sunlight reflects off of ripples in the pond. Set up beside the pond is a small amphitheater with semicircular rows of seating. The stage is small but sturdily constructed. Banners of the Children of the Light have been set up bordering the amphitheater. On stage a white banner embroidered with a golden sunburst, the battle standard moves lazily in the warm breeze.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'It is an unusual thing to do, but I think it appropriate that we take a brief moment to confer an honor upon him, an honor he earned through service, such that we can conduct the rest of the service by referring to Seeras with his proper title...'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Lieutenant?'

A Child of Light Lieutenant steps forward, handing over an insignia.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'It is my honor to confer the posthumous title of Lord and Master to Seeras Qay. The mix of pride and sadness is sharp, but it is important that he be known for his highest honors today.'

Lynel says 'I had the honour of meeting Child Seeras when I first joined the Order, some years ago now.'
Lynel says 'Our hours of duty often coincided, and he made even the most repetitive patrols enjoyable.'
Lynel says 'I think most of all I will remember his loyalty to all his brothers and sisters, and his welcome to all who seek the Light.'

Roxy smile slightly.

Rayven smiles warmly and reassuringly grips Roxy's shoulder.

Roxy says 'The best we can do, to honor Seeras, in my opinion, is this.'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander shifts his stance.

Keim says 'Something I think shows something of his true character more so than even some of his close friends could properly convey.'
Keim says 'He was always pleasant and nice to me, there was always something to joke about or speak briefly about.'
Keim says 'While we were not overly close, I think it does say something when through all the times of brief conversations.'
Keim says 'He was always happy and friendly, and more so that it was not only to his friends that he was this way.'

Aira says 'I served with Child Seeras for many years. Officially, I was his senior officer, however, I would prefer to call him brother.'
Aira says 'Recently, we both served as members of the Council of Anointed. The Light bless him for dealing with the politics and drama I so loathe.'
Aira says 'Lord Seeras was a positive force of life that truly served the Children and through us, the Light, in every way.'
Aira says 'It was impossible to sit idly by when he was around. Like a merry tune that tugs at your feet, he would always entice you to bring the Light to places of darkness.'
Aira says 'The Light shines a little less brightly since his passing.'
Aira says 'The Creator calls home his most faithful servants first.'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'While I shall not speak forever, I shall be speaking at length, so in deference to your baser natures, take a quick moment to eat and drink, then be still.'

Pedron and the other Children of the Light sit down and a lunch of yellow peppers and pork is searved. A soft murmer spreads as people share memories of Seeras with each other over lunch. It gradually gets louder as people enjoy an after dinner drink. Servers bring out copious amounts of drink as people dull their greif for the moment. Goblets of mulled wine, dented tankards of dark beer, Ron even takes a sip from something hidden in his sleave as the clamour gradually decreases.

Rhadam Asunawa the High Inquisitor growls, 'Also, please remove your pesky lights. We will have torches lit around the Garden'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander paces across the stage, scanning the crowd, reading the mood, and waiting for things to settle.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Be silent, find your seat, and let us continue.'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander draws a breath, but then stops, staring at nothing for several moments.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'You know what I am going to say, about a soldier dedicated to the Light. About a man willing to rush headlong into battle for his comrades, about service and sacrifice.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'These things were true of Lord Seeras. But I would like to focus elsewhere, away from the obvious...'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'I would like to focus on what made Lord Seeras unique.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'To do that, I want to ask you all a very serious question, one for you to think about, not answer.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'If you passed into the arms of the Creator today, how would you be remembered?'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Would you be remembered for great acts or for how you performed small ones?'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander rubs his hands together and continues.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Would you be remembered for creating great things, or for encouraging others to create?'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander gestures with his hand, 'Of course it does not have to be one or the other,'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'but the former tends to obscure the latter for many of us.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Great acts, creative acts are emphasized, and the small ones, and how we treat people often over looked. But not by Seeras.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'The way I shall remember Lord Seeras is as a person who had the wisdom to remember that both what you do yourself, and how you treat others are required to be a great man.'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'I can get a 'here here' for that, yes?'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander allows himself a smile.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander shifts his stance, pausing to think again.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander unrolls a small piece of paper, 'Bear with me as I describe the backdrop to what made Seeras special, at least to my eyes.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander reads from the paper in a formal tone:
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'We live in a dark age. Seanchan invade, capture, and occupy once-free lands.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'An age where bandits dominate nations, and humiliate monarchs.'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander glares at Isaah.
Fuujin grins evilly.
Kaan glares at Isaah.
Cacamatzin chuckles.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Greed and anger pit man against man, nation against nation.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'While chaos reigns, the Shadow winnows in among us,'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Weaving sinister webs and propping open the gates that guard against the Dark One's beasts.'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander looks out at the crowd before continuing.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander asks rhetorically, 'That is a dark tapestry isn't it?'

Rhadam Asunawa the High Inquisitor growls menacingly.
Isaah nods in agreement.
Wynd nods at Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'In such an age, the Children of the Light are more than willing to draw weapons.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'We are willing to hack away injustice, to cut down anything that approaches being evil,'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'We foist the cord wood of human evil onto the pyre, light it, and watch it burn,'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'And let the Creator sort out the aftermath.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander concludes reading, 'And so we should. This is the duty of the Children of the Light.'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander pauses, looking out at the gathered people, then continues without reading:
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Lord Seeras could do that too, but his methods were greater than a sword arm'

Vladd nods in agreement.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Seeras had a wisdom that most lack, and some cannot even perceive.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'His weapon was kindness, his tactics, generosity and encouragement. '

Rhadam Asunawa the High Inquisitor presses his pale lips together.
Stabye claps approvingly.
Elia nods at Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Where many would see only the darkness in someone, Seeras could find their light. '
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Victory for him was bringing a soul CLOSER to the fold rather than slicing it away.'

A Child of Light Lieutenant shifts his weight quietly.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Disarming friendliness, good humor, and an ability to set his own pride aside aided his battle.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'His very strategy was to have no strategy, but instead to respond to each situation with thoughtfulness,'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'to dispense fairness to those who had strayed from the path, and like a shepherd, BRING THEM HOME.'

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander raps his ring on the pommel of his sword, walking slowly across the stage, pondering his last words.
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander looks up again, relaxing his shoulders.

Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Not everyone is capable of being this way. I certainly am not. But all of us can strive towards his example. '
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Lord Seeras showed that none of us have to be saints in order to have an impact, and to make a difference.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'I close with my opening, and ask you to take a moment to think about how you will be remembered.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Let us all strive to be remembered as being as wise and honorable as Lord Seeras. Let us live fully engaged, and not let our focus on our goals obscure how we treat one another. Let the victory not obscure the battle. Let death not obscure living.'
Pedron Niall, Lord Captain Commander says 'Rest in the Peace of the Creators bosom, Lord Seeras Qay.'

Thank you for editing and posting the log, Mhaliah.

It's insane that 4 years have already passed. I remember the week before his death going on a raid to Falme with him, then him taking my statter on a short smob run in Amador. The smob trip was one of those rare moments when I might usually have declined but at that moment decided to take him up on the offer... I am glad.

He was full of life, and his passing hit home really hard. Chavaon and I spent the first couple hours after learning of the news in each others' stunned company, reflecting on the years we had played alongside the man. I am pretty sure we are both still in disbelief after all of these years.

The music videos are awesome.

Thanks for posting this. Seeras was one of my favorite people on the mud and he'll always be missed. The Light is a little dimmer with him gone.

I think something that was really touching was that Tommy's family was watching it on Twitch live. I think that they were touched by the ceremony.

When I am feeling down I listen to Tommy on Youtube. I love that it makes me feel like I am in bar with him.
