A Legendary Hero now walks in the Hall of Heroes

[Lucavi.9783]

Greetings Gods and Mortals of Tyria. This is a pledge to honoring a great man who has spent his lifetime making a part of the Guild Wars, and Guild Wars 2 community a wonderful place to be. You may inquire about RandAlThor.8593, known as Lord Randal Thor, Guild Leader of Storm Dragon Slayers [SDS]. John passed away on November 29th, 2021 due to kitten. He loved Guild Wars, and favored playing a Ranger. His favorite armor was Medium Rubicon Armor for 90% of the game. We are hosting an in guild Wake 12/4/21 @ 7pm EST in his Memory. He has dedicated his life to this game, and this guild, in the entirety of its existence. He was a fast friend, caring companion, and heroic leader to the guild, and outward community. He lead the way in every aspect of the game. From helping new players along their storylines, to Commanding Map Events, WvW, and Raids. He achieved much and guided so many of us along our way while doing so.

 

I'm sure I speak for the 500+ people of SDS, and many other players outside of us, when I ask if there could be some form of tribute to this wonderful man inside of the game? A Commander of a map event to honor him, perhaps? As he led so many of us these last 16 years, we hope you could allow him to Lead again from the Hall of Heroes. It would be a true honor to his spirit. Thank you for all your work, and to providing us players this outlet to meet such wonderful people.

If you happen to see this and know of Lord Randal Thor, and wish to join for our Wake event, it will be hosted and streamed on our SDS discord, so his family may witness all the lives he touched across the globe. You can reach out to myself in game, and wear Medium Rubicon Armor in his Honor. Thank you

Saddens me to see another Wheel of Time fan pass. May he shelter in the palm of the Creator's hand, and the last embrace of the mother welcome him home.

Randal was an amazing member of our community and loved helping players both new and old. He is the reason myself and so many other stayed with the game instead of moving onto others. In the end, we didn't just lose a guild leader, we lost a friend, a brother and a mentor.

I'm new to the community, but this has got to be the most bittersweet and wholesome thing I've ever seen. I'm sorry for your loss, may his memory live on forevermore.
