The journey begins...
I waited as long as I could to begin this experiment, and at the time of character creation the vote was tied between a max wisdom Human and a max strength Gnome. Ultimately, I had to do my best to interpret the spirit of what the community wanted to see, and it was fairly clear that a goofy, off-the-beaten-path adventure is what was desired. Needing to break the tie myself, I opted for the Gnome, as it's long been seen as the silliest of all the races in Norrath.
Moments later, Eyeconic left the safe comfort of Ak'Anon to find himself lost among the hills and valleys of the Steamfont Mountains. With empty pockets and not a level under his belt, a kind cleric by the name of Bencle appeared in a flurry of particle effects at the nearby druid's ring. She bestowed upon him the boon of benevolence, bolstering young Eyeconic's fortitude and resilience as he descended into the valley below to plunge his dagger into the lifeless skeletons and autonomatons below. His frenzied stabs and thrusts were like a young artist's first attempts with a brush - rough, unsteady, yet inspired. His skill in piercing began to increase, one point after another, and soon the trumpets signaled the advancement of new levels. Garbed with the cloth scraps from his fallen enemies and a few gold coins, Eyeconic turned to his Gods in the Project 1999 community for guidance...
Now you choose what happens next. Should Eyeconic:
Stay on Faydwer and head over to battle the orcs of Crushbone.
Brave the Ocean of Tears and venture into the undead-ridden temple of Befallen.
Make a cross-continent trek to Qeynos and hunt gnolls in Blackburrow.
If one boat ride is good, two is better; the Warrens is where it's at.
Vote in the poll and that's where he'll go!
