Gather 'round kids, for story time with Paddy! Once upon a time, Lord British left these lands in a rocketship to hock and fleece the masses with Shroud of the Avatar. The throne was empty. A stranger by the name of Alex Caember came along and formed the Great Council with other shard leaders and veterans. Since I lived in Cove, he appointed me Mayor and I had a guild dedicated to the city and I bought up properties there, first creating the pirate dive bar called the Crow's Nest Tavern which was the site of some of the major epic storyline The Virtue War (somewhere in the Salty Dog there is a complete timeline with all of the stories). The Crows nest was the site of a murder associated with one of the conflicts. There were also a few others in the Council representing areas / towns: Westra, Governess of Wispfelt, Antos of Yew, among others. The Steward, Alex Caember is now mentioned in hushed whispers for he ascended to godhood and then was exiled for reasons. I remained Mayor of Cove and after a brief period of peace after the Virtue Wars, a new threat emerged in the form of King Xor, a renegade orc not recognized by the other clans. He had his sights set on conquering Cove and invaded Cove with his army and sieged the city. I formed the Cove Militia and we fought Xor's forces in the Cove invasion event. Xor then disappeared and never returned so the Militia pretty much disbanded as there were no threats anymore. I remained in Cove for a few years but eventually unofficially retired from UO for a while. I sold off all of my property in Cove and at some point wanted to maybe hold an election but RL got in the way. I don't really play here anymore but I do pop in from time to time when I'm feeling nostalgic for Britannia.
