Arkidies is actually one of the older players (in terms of time in-game) that I know. I met him through Hulialo, and that had to have been 1997, maybe 1998.
Can't say I've had any adventures with him. We are currently (as of today, 3/26/02) hashing some ideas about a party in Arthe, so we'll see if anything comes of that. But otherwise, he's someone I trust in-game and out.

Herald Arkidies Saliance, a Halfling Bard.
He has silver eyes. His silver hair is shoulder length and thick, and is worn
loose, tucked behind his ears. He has fair skin.
He is a daydreamer for a Halfling.
He has a short bristly mustache on his upper lip and a short prickly beard.
He is wearing a ebony longbow, a small velvet sack embroidered with tumbling dice, a long pouch, a thigh quiver dyed in a brown and green camouflage pattern, a pair of brown leather boots with a wide cuff just below the knee, a carved wooden wren hanging from a soft leather cord, a weathered green traveling cloak, a soft gem pouch, some jet black bear-hide pants, a medium case, a pitch-black backpack, full double leather and a sky blue mask.
