Doesn't Venril Sathir ever want to visit Drusella? He would need to traverse the Dreadlands, Frontier Mountains, and the Overthere. During his journey, he decides that it would be smart to bring his lady a gift of jewelry, so he raids the Temple of Droga in search of a powerful soothsayer rumored to carry a magical earring. Having sought out and acquired his prize, he rests for the night before resuming his journey to Charasis.

Under this scenario, an intrepid TMO tracker in search of adventure and treasure may very well find Venril Sathir in KC, deep in Droga, Charasis, or some appropriate location within DL, FM, or OT.

It would be cool...

I'd be interested in what VS's mechanics would be for the zones that are so low level to him. It'd be hilarious to see him clear out all the giants while going through FM. Or, like the GM events back in early live, he would have level-appropriate players scattering like roaches from a kitchen light. Heh, that thought reminds me of one night in 1999 in Unrest... 4 GMs playing named ogres came spilling out of the basement slaughtering everyone. As players made their way back for corpses, the word went out and all the big guns of the server began making their way to the cauldron...

You know what? This may be a tad more classic of an idea than we think... a marriage of code-scripted and GM events.

It'd be one hell of a fuck ton of work though, that's for sure.
