One of my favourite moments was when I stumbled into Raezon's fulcrux while he was inducting the first members of his order. I walked in right as he was making them take oaths of loyalty or something. I was panicking because I was from Celest and so I just opted to run and sent him a tell apologising profusely. Good thing I didn't stay or I would have been ratted out by Visaeris 
Mmm nostalgia 
I remember those times Qal
And influencing our first village, switching off as a laetitia/influence team and trading these 2 gold rings back and forth because those were the only jewelry that we had to help raise prestige.
What else? I remember..
- Being taken to the Celestine tutor by Nika, to learn for the very first time.
- Finding the Earth plane for the first time, and being introduce to PK (and praying) by Visaeris.
- Dying to a firewall near Newton (with no frost), then dying again to masochism hexes pushed into the Portal of Fate.
- The introduction of Grace of Innocence
- Jerah organizing the Paladin guild to create leather armor for the city to help raise prestige for influencing (we didn't know that armor had no effect at the time).
- The Pool of Stars at -1000 power in the first day of open beta because we didn't know the effects of immolation.
- Finding out that villages gave power, but we couldn't influence them with negative power
.
- Hunting for essence on Water with Shamarah, Acrune, Shiri, and a lot of other people to bring the Pool out of negative 1 power at a time. I think we actually got up to nearly -700 power from all of the people contributing essence alone. I remember having trouble with people in those groups dying of drowning or from the plane itself because our skill levels were so low
- Flying up to Astral at like level 10 and linking from the node to the Pool with spam from 20 lobstrosities bouncing off my shield. Those things were scary That was probably the first completely drained node, and I don't think it ever really recovered. Poor Cancer. But at least it brought the Pool out into positive numbers for the first time, so it was for a good cause.
- Uncle Hazzie's guide to the Astral Plane!
- Defending Southgard at level 11 (about average for Celestian defenders) with like 800 health and dying to knights in 1 hit.
- The daily/hourly knight damage changes.
- The summoning wars.
- Volucer
- Chasing down Daevos raiding Southgard, only to have him turn around, Carcer, then say "Never underestimate." and mow down the entire group.
- Learning what web does to flying people by dropping Silvanus onto a pile of 4 urns after being jumped on Astral
.
- The mass CR raise of all online citizens so that we could influence villages for the first time.
- Being advanced out of novicehood by a steel shortsword for "head"
Gotta miss the anarchy of a time without leadership, when wars were won and lost by novices

I remember Chade (to see Ialie or someone) coming to Serenwilde when he was still Emperor, and calling Bau a wench repeatedly, so I set up a trigger to slap him everytime he did it. I still had the trigger till Bau first got engaged to him.
I remember killing silly Magnagorans in my demesne cause nobody knew how to fight in em yet.
I remember loving influencing the villages, and demesne'ing them. Oh, how the times have changed.
I remember the first time Serenwilde got Daiurchi.
We had a big party afterwards, everyone got totally drunk and Bau, who had never drunk before, turned into a total idjit. At least two people were left with return messages filled with drunken Bau-ness, and I talked Chade into coming to join the party.
Unfortunately, he ran away when I proposed to him that time! (Got him now, didn't I?
)

(Got him now, didn't I?
)Oh, and I remember demesneing the first few rooms of Southgard (and being deeply disappointed that my powerstone didn't work) and standing guard, then having Daevos and like 20 other Magnagorans stomping in and out and yelling about it over CT (we didn't even have any guards back then.) And no one coming except Shamarah, so we ran around in circles for a little bit blasting random Magnagorans that got split up!
And I remember Daevos charging around the mountains, while we chased after him. Eventually a team of 7 of us including me, Rilandria and Manjanaia managed to corner him, but in short order he immobilised and killed us all with the aid of contagion leaving only Rilandria in the slightest bit able to cure.
Hmm...and standing guard with Rilandria at the base of that temple thing in the Sea of Despair, and standing guard there for ages. My battle strategy back then consisted of weave phantoms, and then whore blast over and over (so not much different to modern day mages, except with staff and a demesne. >_>)

I remember being in the first page of explorers, as an Ethereal Wanderer. I liked it so much, cause I wanted to join Lisaera's Order, that I wore the title around.

I remember messaging Lisaera about Her Order. And for some reason being certain She wouldn't like me to message Her again about it, so waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Till everyone else I knew was in, and I wasn't.

I lost a lot of people that way, I was just too busy and too disorganised. Well, I still am incredibly busy but I'm a little more organised!

My SG might try and join Your Order one day, Lisaera! If I remember to play her. I only just started playing my 51 year old character again ^-^
I remember swearing not to join any Order cause I was mad at Lisaera (She picked on me on communetells after ignoring my message ).
I remember reading the post from Auseklis that's in my sig, and saying, well, maybe I'll join His if He ever opens it
I remember rushing around like mad trying to find His igasho in the Mountains, and when I found it finally, spending hours trying to write my application letter. I was thrilled when I got the ghostly hand on the shoulder, and a voice out of nowhere saying my letter had been received, and I would have to wait. Three days later, He totally stunned me by yanking me up to His temple and putting me in His Order. First one!
I remember swearing that I intended to be the last one in the Order, as I was the first. And funny little chats with Auseklis on OT when I asked if He was there. And being very sad when He said He wouldn't be back for a while.
I remember being very excited (!) to get a message from Auseklis after I joined Glom, but then very disappointed when it was just Him asking me to put up a shrine there, and mentioning nothing else.
I miss Auseklis.
