Official Discussion Thread for "A Letter to the Community from ESO's Loremaster"
As the scrolls foretold, our Loremaster is leaving to begin his next great adventure. Read a farewell letter from Loremaster Lawrence Schick to the ESO community.
A fantastic read from a great man. Lawrence will be missed a lot, but I am glad we had the chance to have him work on the game.

You're contributions to stitching together lore and story as part of an incomplete and ever-shifting patch-work quilt are appreciated, but also your memorable public appearances at conventions and on ESO Live.
Safe journeys down the river, beeko.

Farewell, Lawrence, and thank you so much! The lore is my favourite aspect of the game and you've contributed to my experiences tremendously. You will be sorely missed! Good luck for the future!

I'm not great at writing to people I don't know, but I'm a really big fan of your work and I hope to achieve as much as you achieved in life someday.
Listening and reading the amazing lore you helped to build all those years, reading, listening and rereading conversations with Phrastus of Elinhir (your personification on Tamriel, I assume) I become inspired by how much can a man do and still have that playful and adventurous spirit. I bought Domus Phrasticus in order to have an excuse to talk about how much you contributed to the ever-expanding lore of the game.
You are, among others like Noam Chomsky, one of my role models in life. I wish you great success in your future endeavors and handling those family matters.
Lore... lore ever changes. I wondered why the elves were marching from Faregyl to Aleswell. Apparently it was their way of saying farewell to master Schick. Thank you, sir.

EU ‣ Wabbajack nostalgic ‣ Blackwater Blade defender ‣ Kyne wanderer The offspring of the root of all evil in ESO by DeanTheCat Why ESO needs a monthly subscription When an MMO is designed around a revenue model rather than around fun, it doesn’t have a long-term future. ― Richard A. Bartle Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal. ― lordrichter ... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it. ― Santie Claws
Soo sad to see you go Lawrence. You've done an amazing job and we thank you wholeheartedly for your contributions. I wish you the very best of luck in the future, where ever it takes you
