Yeah to be honest I was kinda surprised you ended up as my lieutenant cause of our time differences. But it became very clear within a few interactions that you deserved it and so I never questioned it (it was Thror that did that if it matters now, we had a brief conversation where I told him I couldn't be responsible for what I couldn't see and I wanted him to do that type of stuff cause it wasn't fair to make the village exist only when I was online, we also had discussions on the max villager count cause otherwise there wouldn't be a game...). That was kind of the craziness of it. Trewyn was my first villager so I had zero references for what I was supposed to do and no one really challenged me except Hysrhawr (we had a VERY long "rites" where we fought without a single blood drop being drawn, and I promise you he would have kicked my ass in a physical fight, but something I did made him step down and let me lead and all he said was "I believed you could do it"). I sometimes felt like I missed out on a real "rites" but that was honestly Trewyn. He couldn't always win in a physical fight, but god damned could he lead a fucking horde of craziness in a basket. I was the one that requested the War Room be in the village. That was Trewyn's dying request to Thror when we had our "I'm gonna die and I need this to be worth it" discussion.
Something you all may not remember or know, but I created Trewyn to be a Maran. That was his dream from the start. Interactions with the players led him to the village, which if you were there and knew what happened you would understand what made Trewyn special.
