that would have been.

A few notes on Ardkor before the forums ascend to Koargard.

Ardkor is working on alchemy, and selling off his gem stash for AG rewards to use however much 3x Lumnis remains after alchemy related exp. (quite a lot in almost all weeks, most alchemy exp actually comes from foraging the ingredients for them rather than doing the reps) The Teras collection has been severely depleted, but significant quantities of elven gems remain and the Landing stash is still largely complete.

Currently he is fighting the Cauldron of Doom, which sucks the spirit out of trainee alchemists. It took 14 spirit to win one round in one of Ardkor’s contests. A lesser being, such as Dark Elf Sorcerer would have been hard put to summon that level of resource and could have ended up bound into the cauldron for all eternity (or until released by a master of all 6 cleric guild skills. The Bookmakers at the End of the Universe currently have All Eternity happening first at a hundred to one on.)

According to a copy of the Pilgrims’ Progression (special souvenir issue for the 100th anniversary of Ardkor’s ascension, available at all good shrines for a mere 1000 Hardscrip) that was looted from the corpse of an Ithzir time traveller, Ardkor was/will be personally received into Koargard by Koar himself during the New Year celebrations of 5114. Judging by the rate of progress occasionally updated at https://gswiki.play.net/Prime_HARDCORE, this relic could be genuinely prophetic.

Prayers for Intercession Gems or Holy Symbols created and blessed by Ardkor himself may be heard if directed via Discord and accompanied by the promise of suitably large donations towards the beautification of Ardkor’s Tomb which the Pardoner of The Pilgrim Band will be pleased to accept.
