Ghaz's Plight

[Cyrano]

I'm confident the Gnome we're looking for is Meldrath, the event in question was opening up Paineel. However, the version we need is GM controlled so he's not very important in the mino caves =P

The southeast emblem is of Bertoxx, it is the symbol of the Xolous who effectively created him. In EQOA lore the Xolous are the only thing feared by dragons, they worshiped disease. Consequently the dead hills lie where they used to live until Bertoxx removed it to the plane of disease.

Following the Xolous a new immortal race came to live in the Dead Hills who were obsessed with death and studying it. This was the Envar, the alien-esque race of Rodcet Knife (little known fact, he is actually the second prime healer).

A modern day (p99) version of this symbol are the Obelisks, which is a source of power for Bertoxx. As we know that the Xulous and Envar were all-powerful races, we also know that the Erudites appropriated it from a cache of knowledge they discovered which brought Norrath out of the Lost Age. Isn't it interesting that th heart of disease and the heart of healing - eternal enemies - came from the same area? Isn't it also interesting that upon openly using Necrotic powers the Erudites had their first civil war then split into two separate groups in Paineel and Erudin? What if the Xolous and Envar came from the same origins? The only hitch in this; Envar look like aliens.

Alot of this makes since. I had a guildmate tell me he was chosen by a GM to find the city of Envar, which is in the Dead Hills. If you look on the Classic cloth map or anymap online with only classic/kunark/velious. The Dead Hills are just south of Feerott but dont actually exist here.
