There is an saying told on repeat to listening ears, “Your past can dictate one’s future” that couldn’t be more truthful from what I have learned about the Ptesawni, the guild leader of the, “Strays”. A guild once known to be based at the decrepit dark shire inn up till their disbanding around the Wraith of the Lich King expansion. The, “Strays” had 2 branches being one of the few cross faction guilds on the Earthen Ring(US) server. Periodically, they would hold a bar event at their base of the Darkshire inn. One day during this expansion though a plot was hatched by two players.
Baranalot, and Kanonto decided to grace this event with their presence. Why would these miscreants do this simple act of sabotage? Allegedly from the span of 2006 - Nov, 13, 2008 took advantage of Baranalot’s young feelings. Flirting with him, draining him of his emotions like a parasitic leech until he couldn’t handle his feeling of being drained. On the night of event the duo began their plan.
Their plan though was interesting in its nature, Kanonto played it smoothly, doing just small roleplay talk, until it was time..... To "summon" Baranalot... Kanonto disguising it did some roleplay, and got kicked out from the event. After this junction, I have no idea what happened...
From what I do know there was a frenzy on the forums during that time. Crying for Kanonto's blood, and when no one found him.... People started to cannibalize Ptesawni. But there were people that knew of this plan raiders from warcry, Kormok, and Drahlinna. His involvement was hushed, but they all got a good laugh from it.
Addendum: When fact checking some of what Baranalot said during an interview I did find a commonality that some people may already know here. Mallesta (who was affiliated with house nightstone) harassed Baranalot during the end of December 31, 2013. When I mentioned the name I did see Baranalot noticably distraught… Then proceeded to bang his head on a wall. The only thing else I got out of him was that she was there during the event.
