Scroll of Honor - An Tir Remembers
HISTORY
The Scroll of Honor was created to commemorate the passing of Evan Graham of Montrose. The project grew from two independent projects, a website maintained for many years by Duchess Jacyntha Argentarius and a list for virtual tavern called the "Prancing Yak" which exists only on the 'Steps of the Cathedral' maintained by Companion Aaron of the Black Mountains.
The rules were only three in number;
- Only An Tir folk are listed on the Scroll (This includes any who considered themselves An Tirian)
- No titles are listed on the Scroll. (Except for Her Serene Highness, Janeltis Karaine, Starfollower)
- The names are entered alphabetically as death is the great equalizer. (So all listed are equally honored.)
The Scroll of Honor, the Steps version of this list maintained by Aaron, hung on the wall of this virtual tavern and it became custom for Aaron to write a short story wherein a 'toast' was offered for the memory of the departed.
These tavern toasts finally resulted in the creation of a physical, paper scroll that could be held and read. Dame Tamlyn of Wyntersea (OL) lead a group of scribes who calligraphed the paper Scroll. This calligraphed scroll was updated with the names of additional losses in our Kingdom.
The An Tir Remembers website that was maintained by Jacyntha was passed onto the Companions of the Rose and Valorous Estate once her Grace took on the job of Dexter Gauntlet many years ago.
When the An Tir Wiki came into being, these two separate initiatives had the opportunity to combine their efforts. Jacyntha transferred the entire contents of her website onto the pages here. Having finally passed the burden of maintaining this important piece of An Tir history onto the people of An Tir, she can rest in the secure knowledge that her 5 year odyssey is in good hands.
Both her Grace Jacyntha and Companion Aaron asked that you join us at the An Tir Wiki in asking you to take up the mantle of maintenance of this, one of our most important duties: Remembering those who came before us and paying homage to the debt that we all owe them. For as Sir Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants."
Those who have gone before
Those listed here are the Giants upon whose shoulders our Kingdom has been built upon.
