Anybody know anything about the random vertical shaft behind Vox's Lair?

[uygi]

I started messing around looking for unreachable geometry in zones, like the "GM rooms", and I noticed this tall vertical shaft behind Vox. It's behind the door in the lair, at the end of the dead-end tunnel.

It's pretty tall, and it has a texture across the top. Anybody know any trivia about this, maybe at one time devs considered it might go to/from somewhere? Is it just to explain how the giants get in and out? Presumably that Priest of Nagafen goes home for holidays, and the regular entrance can't even fit an ogre, never mind a giant...

Looks like an unused entrance or exit?

that is how vox goes out to go do the dirty with her boyfriend naggy which is NOT ALLOWED.

She was imprisoned there by kerafyrm, upon waking the dragon these two when up will say:

Lord Nagafen:
Ha! The Ring and Claws are doomed! The Sleeper has been awakened, what a glorious day! Lady Vox, I will see you soon, our long delayed nuptials can now proceed!

While Lady Vox:
The Sleeper stirs! A glorious new age for Norrath is about to begin, and my exile is about to end!

They were imprisoned by the dragons of the ring of scale because they did not want another “kerafym” style dragon. i.e. dragons of different colors/Magic’s mating.

Yeah that's true, i cant remeber if kera is their love child? or they were in the process of making one before they went into hiding? But they first went to their layers on their own to hide from veeshan and the Ring of scale, but then were sealed in after, so I think that shaft is rements of how vox got in and out, before they were sealed in.

The physical scale in things like that are always off in this game haha I mean, I could be wrong Im just guessing.

Kerafyrm wasn't theirs, but yeah, they wanted to make another -- their script when he's released confirms as much.

Yeah, I immediately thought about how you can jump into The Hole and land by Master Yael. Maybe a "dangerous shortcut" was an idea.

If it was going to connect somewhere some day, what the heck could they have thought of connecting it to? Unless it would have just been into Everfrost... perhaps the dungeon was designed before the Everfrost was (by a different dev) and it was there as a connection option? Seems unlikely they would have made it an exit from Perma, but an entrance in...

There's no way she can squish through there. Besides, where would they go to hook up? Naggy's car? I mean, Naggy will melt her palace, and she'd probly have some issues in his lair, although maybe the melting is just lube...

The artist got the dragon colors wrong, but that is most definitely Naggy's car.

In traditional DnD rules, older dragons can polymorph at will, enabling all sorts of shenanigans in and outside the lair.

Another idea might be that the geometry of the level might have just been rearranged to fit some design need, leaving a formerly connected shaft out there in space.
