This year has been full of bad news; we've lost a number of well-known and well-liked celebrities. But as painful as those were, some deaths strike closer to home.
With great sadness I have to tell you that one of our moderators, Taliesen, died in early November from a medical complication. This was very unexpected news and it reached us only a few days ago, so we are still as much in shock as you are.
Tali was not only a good mod but he was also a kind and generous person. What we will miss most about him is his humor, which often lightened the mood in any thread he participated in. Magistream is less without him.
We express our condolences to Taliesen's friends and family, whose loss weighs far heavier than ours.
Thank you for your attention.

My heart is heavy. If Tali's family sees this, I want them to know that they are in my thoughts. Tali was kindness, fairness, and good sense personified. I will always remember his sense of humor.

Taliesen was a genuinely good person. It's hard to imagine this place without him. Heartfelt condolences to his family.

But this- this is a ladder to climb to the stars...
I have a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul.
It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe.
It is always attacked and never destroyed— because "Thou mayest."

It's so sad to hear of someone like him leaving this earth. We will all miss him. </3 Rest in peace, grand friend of Magistream.

Re: Moderator change
The Keep has lost a fine mage; he was an excellent staff member and a stand-up person all around. Thank you for making our time here a bit more magical, Taliesen. Rest well.
