I had some network issues and didn't make it in time, but still here I am to congratulate Arbor Vitalis with 14th Anniversary.

Recent years haven't been easy on us. I don't know what can I say (I am from Russia, remember?), but as always I wish each of you happy and peaceful life.Hopefully you all are safe and sound, and neither covid, no war has reached you. Love you, guys.

Me and Meji are in Armenia now. You may not know where it is, but Armenia now knows about you :) We left this signature in Areni, small armenian village, renown for its wine production.

Stay safe, arboreans and hopefully cya next year!

Well, tradition is something you do even if no one needs it. Today is May, 18, and today is 12th anniversary of Arbor Vitalis tag.

Happy Birthday, arboreans. I hope you and yours are safe and sound, no one got ill and no one got deadly bored during isolation. Anyway, you always have this wonderful world of computer games, don't you?

And btw, special thanks to each and everyone who finds time to drop me and Igor a smile at skype or FB. It's always a pleasure, you know :)

Loving you all,

Kate aka Oriole.

So, +1, lads and lassies. I am writing this message from an airport - me and Igor are leaving for vacations. Still I would like to keep the tradition alive.

Happy birthday, arboreans! Wherever you are, I hope you are doing just fine. And hope each next year of yours would be better than the previous one.

Loving you all,

Katherine aka Oriole

And so, this day has come. Can you believe it? 10 f*cking years!

As for me, I was hoping but never really expected that. I wasn't sure that I will log here today to write something. Last year it was sad and touching enough to do away with it.

But you know what? Our TESo guild is still alive, and pretty excited about the event. So tonight we are going to drink wine, sing songs in Discord, run dungeons and have fun together, celebrating 10th anniversary of Arbor Vitalis guild tag. I guess that means goodbye, but not farewell, huh?

Some time ago Igor presented me a silver pendant with a tree on it - "a keepsake for a guildmaster", he said. I wear it with proud and joy, because I remember. And if you (yea, you) read this now, that probably means that I'm not the only one.

I'm really not sure that I should ever write here again. 10 years make a good final chord. But time will tell. As for today - happy birthday, Arboreans! Happy 10th birthday, my beloved guild! Cheers!

Yours sincerely,

Kate aka Oriole

P.S. This time we'll make a guild photo :)

Today is May 18, 2017. My name is Katherine, and I've just logged here to leave a 9th anniversary congratulation message to all former and present members of the best guild ever existing in MMORPG multiverse - Arbor Vitalis guild.

Hi arboreans,

Each year I become less and less sure that anyone reads my messages here. From the other side each year it less and less matters to me. I was never good with blogs, "dear diaries" and stuff like that. Funny, but those annual messages is the closest things to a diary I've ever had. It's my hourglass and my trail in the sand. When I look back I see a great story of a great guild and a great game. I wonder, what do you see, guys?

Many of you are now serious busy people who don't have time for gaming. From the other side many of you are still geeks who enjoy their evenings with ol' good PC, PS or Xbox. I really wonder, where are you now. Hope everyone is doing well. 

Me and Igor are playing TESo now. Bosmer archer and khajiit sorcerer - guess who is who :) We even joined a guild there - they are nice people and we enjoy their company and all those green lines running in the left bottom corner of the screen. Why are guild chats usually green by default, I wonder? It reminds me... sorry, I'm getting distracted. So... we have AV tag recreated in Tamriel, but there are only a few members - me, Igor, Valio... I don't promise a guild photo this time, but probably we will give it a try :)

Anyway, I think we can conclude that the guild somehow still lives. Like a maple seed or an acorn it waits for the right time to grow and bloom... or may be to become a beautiful fossil, a gift, a story, a reminder to those who will come after us.

Happy birthday, Arbor Vitalis! May all your wishes come true, dear arboreans, many happy returns today and any other day to all of you. Thank you for still being part of my life - even if you don't know about it and don't give a damn :)

Staying sincerely yours,

Kate aka Oriole
