Medal Text:
For 2 weeks, over 5 battles, the "Farthest Shore" in New Eden, was sieged by pirates. Two of the timers were major battles. On the final timer, 9.3.YC123, after a fierce two hour fight, the "Farthest Shore" finally fell after over 5 years in service as a place of pilgrimage.
Awarded to participants in any role in this campaign.
Oh grand old dame, how proudly did you rule
the empty shores beyond the promised land,
where many forlorn pilgrims’ tortured souls
found consolation in your lonely home.
Though your old skin was scarred by many fights,
and wrinkly spotted by the laser-weld repairs,
not for a second did your godly suitor ever cease
caressing you with most majestic whisps of light.
Now, as the curtain falls on your old age
and you can finally lay down
the lifelong shackles of timidity and pride,
you -at last!- reach out to touch God’s Mouth,
with exploding light outshining heaven’s might
as your first and final kiss.
- Theodosius Savnar, LUMEN Chaplain
Lunarisse Comments:
Although i feel bittersweet, I am proud of the Alliance.
Good work to all who came and helped throughout the four timers of this siege.
I think Miss Cora said it best: Amicia Cora > <i>"Though dissuaded, I came. Though perilous, I served. Though beset, I persevered. Though denied, I believed."</i> Amicia recites. "The Farthest Shore may have fallen, but we persevere, Ma'am. We only grow stronger."
Cassandra Habalu Comments:
As a contribution to the memorialisation of recent events, I wish to share an old entry from my journal dating from YC118, when I visited the Farthest Shore during my tenure with Signal Cartel. It includes cam drone stills of the citadel when it was still relatively new. I did not appreciate the significance of my visit there at the time, but such is the nature of God's will - the memory of my visit undoubtedly informed my decision to join the Societas when the time was right. habalueve.blogspot.com/2016/10/an-inquiry-into-jove-observatory-in-new.html
