Mblake- Thank you for the lore. Haha i'd research more online, but I prefer to read your quick summaries. Some of that lore online gets way too deep for me to follow.

I pick things up here and there. For example in Classic.. Allizewsaur in OOT
from wiki
Quote:
Among the islands in the Ocean of Tears lurks a titanic creature called the Allizewsaur. According to legend, this accursed creature once belonged to an ancient race of beings known as the Shissar, who created a vast and powerful society that dominated much of Norrath. Renowned for their intellect, their engineering skills, and their ruthless use of slave races, the Shissar built fortresses and temples to their god, Cazic-Thule (some of which stills tand today, including Najena and the Temple of Cazic-Thule in the southern swamps of Antonica).
Despite their success and advancement as a civilization, or perhaps because of it, the Shissar grew proud. When Rallos Zek sought to conquer the Planes of Power during the first War of the Gods, the Shissar sided with the Warlord, thinking they were powerful enough to wage war among the gods themselves. Shissar magic aided Zek's invasion of the Plane of Earth. When the war met its disastrous conclusion, the gods punished the Shissar along with Rallos Zek and his progeny. The Shissar suffered a devastating curse that took away much of their intelligence and their form, turning them into simple, barbaric lizard people.

Although the devs didn't exactly hold true to this. The ice giants in Velious didn't seem struck dumb, Velketor is a sorcerer and has his own place.. can't be that stupid.. for sure not stupid like Ogres who were once some of the most powerful and smart.
(I think it was to sell expansions.. world cohesion was already going out the window)
