Aes Sedai
I can't even say how sad I am to post this- our esteemed Director of Technology, Erin Sedai, has decided it's time to step down and take a little break from the demands of keeping our site up and purring smoothly along. She's been a mainstay during my tenure as Keeper, and I will very much miss her in our team. Thank you so much for everything!
