My then-main character, Galen, actually spoke at the coronations of both Dawn and Blackthorn. Among my proudest moments in my long UO career. Blackthorn kind of impressed him during the waning days of the inter-regnum during a cycle of EM events wherein Blackthorn, after healing the Honor Moongate, simply marched from wayward town to wayward town and gently dragged them back into Kingdom one by one. Since then he's had an impressive record of dealing with the more-magical nature of the threats we've faced and at maintaining a relatively low-drama government. (This is despite the ambiguous, but presumably quite liberal, nature of his sexual preferences and practices. You'd think that kind of King would be a scandal magnet but on GL at least not so. And the fact that he seemingly can't quite get over the whole 'go in alone without backup' thing.)
As to Dawn....Well let's say that my characters miss her. Galen actually had the honor of holding Casca down while Dawn killed him, and one of my favorite EM storylines involved tracking down and ruthlessly killing those most-responsible for her death -- including but not limited to her possessed husband.
Strange how many memories one game can hold. And those are all among the more-recent ones!
