I left GRPU for 3 months and, after discussing the situation with a long-time Gorean RPG enthusiast, I decided to return. I registered on an entirely different server with a new nick. Drusus of Treve became Bane of Cos, much as Tarl Cabot became Bosk of Port Kar. I no longer have any unpleasant thoughts about my previous bad experiences in Gorean Role Playing. I don't think about them.

Tarns and ships...two fascinations. I took the nick Bane, the name of my Tarn in Treve, and the offline name of a peregrine falcon that allows me the delight of seeing it rest on my arm occasionally. It seemed fitting.

I would have taken the nick Drusus down entirely, but I've forgotten the damn passwords, and the e mail address I used to open the GRPU and AR accounts was closed when I walked out of Treve forever. I left behind no slaves in my own steel. I named my ship after the Free Woman named Solari, the one person I regretted leaving behind in Treve. She was magnificent. I wish her well.
