To all my old Utopians,

I have some sad news to deliver to you all.

A month ago today, my good friend (and Dutch Uncle) of nearly 2 decades and our founder/leader of Taure en'Arvandor alliance passed away. Here's the Thalius banner that Thunder requested. If you're still playing like that masochist Thunder, feel free to fly it on your kingdom too in Bud's memory. Thalius impacted thousands of players during his tenure in Utopia. May Bud "Thalius" Davis rest in peace.

Bud had moved to Portugal toward the end of 2018 for a change of venue and try out life as an expat (expatriate), but unfortunately that dream was cut short when he had to return to the States when bladder cancer was discovered. He began chemotherapy treatment toward the middle of summer. Unfortunately, he passed away on October 19, 2019.

He was 70 years old, 39 years clean & sober, and was an embodiment of kindness toward others.

Respectfully,

Mercyful Fate aka Alex
