At the very end of Velious, the quest Al'Kabor's Research was introduced. It was offered by Realla Segoan in Firiona Vie.

Most comments in the above threads are worth a look. It appears the quest was completeable and the reward, Ring of the Messenger, was obtainable prior to Dec2001.
A couple posts reference ongoing GM/Live events relating to Al'Kabor in connection with the release of Shadows of Luclin. However, this quest and the relevant NPCs/items appear to have been permanent additions and remained in-game after the launch of the expansion, as seen from comments on the quest's current Allakhazam page (https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=1566).
Slightly out of era, but a hint at Realla's faction:

FV: Erudite research paper quest reward?
In the FV outpost, there is a female erudite in plate in the general area of the bank. Put on erudite illusion and faction is adjusted, and she'll talk about a quest regarding a troublesome gnome and gathering research pages.
It's probably not bard specific, but does anyone know what the reward for this quest is, and if it's worth doing?
Thanks!

Friend and i did this one before Luclin was released and had hoped that the effect on it would be some sweet spell that wasn't yet implimented.
Instead, when Luclin was released the 'effect:' was removed from it and all it has now is stats.

Re: quest
Anyone with SoL have an effect on the ring? The blank effect on my ring is now gone. No effect- same crappy arse stats.
I started cursing and logged. /rude verant
For P99's timeline, the empty effect label should remain.
-----
On the other hand, if this quest is determined to be out of scope, then I believe Noilgin Mindtune and Lanivon Baxer can be removed.

New Bard NPC?
By: BearkickJr
Posted @ Mon, Aug 12th 4:18 AM 2002
I was checking to see if the Translocator was still up at the docks here in FV and on my way across the docks I ran into a bard NPC I've never seen before. I hailed him and he gave me the response of, "Greetings Qeynestri. Are you enjoying your visit to the outpost? I know I am." I couldn't figure out a trigger phrase to get more out of him and right now I can't remember his name, but he's standing on one of the docks wielding a lute. I figure he's part of a new quest because I don't see anything remotely similar to the name I can't remember. Any help?
On P99 Green, Noilgin is missing his lute.
Regarding Lanivon Baxer:

Lanivon Baxer

I stumbled across this Lanivon Baxer guy in Tox Forest, not too far from the Wizard Spires. He's at approximately -1530, -675, standing near the bottom of a felled tree. He conned red/dubious to my 35 warrior. The casters/paladins of Erudin and the Heretics are both dubious to me, so he could be with either faction. Or perhaps something completely different. Anyone know this guy's deal?

Re: epic..
There is a new NPC in Toxx, near the wizard spires, but I'm not really sure he's involved with the beastlord epic. He appeared at the time of the Luclin release.
He is a plate-wearing Erudite named Lanivon Baxer. Casts wizard spells (damage-absorbing skin, minor damage shield, nukes), has very high magic resistance, and cons blue to 53.
He was indifferent to a Prexus-worshipping Erutite magician, and dubious to a Tribunal worshipping barbarian rogue. If he is on a normal faction, it would have to be Peacekeepers (Erudite paladins and clerics of Quellious). The magician was amiable or better to Erudin caster guilds, warmly to Deepwater Knights, and KOS to Heretics. My hunch is that he is on a Luclin faction, possibly Shadowhaven or Seru, and that his storyline will concern an exploration party now that a means of transportation has been found between Norrath and Luclin.
Hails and tons of out-of-the-blue inquiries resulted in no useable information. He isn't likely the starting NPC for any quest, but he could be a turn-in NPC or a secondary NPC with some weird quest phrase to activate his dialogue (i.e. "Go find Lisvon and tell him that [Soandso sent you]".)
-----
The NPC requesting rare spell books...has anyone tried giving him the "Lore of the Evoker" type drops that have been popping up on Kunark? Just a shot in the dark. /em has a flashback to the start of the Monk epic.
