Forgot to mention that felwithe is caerthiel, and is connected to neriak by some tunnel of some sort to neriak. And that takish-his will be in game as the (hopefully) elf starting city.

Why would the high elves and dark elves want a tunnel between their city? More broken lore [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Makes you wonder if they'll pull that EQ2 shit with ogre wizards/wood elf SKs again...

I thought that was dumb too. When I played EQ2 I only made proper race/class combos [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
However, if you go back to the days of Rallosian Empire - Ogres were highly intelligent and can easily include wizards....
Of course there were never any Wood Elf SK... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Keep in mind though, EQN features - no class system, which means ANY race can be cleric/druid/mage/necro/ranger hybrid

Last round table vote made called in to question our perspections of the developer's race/class combination intentions.

I hope the game has some kind of hardcore element -- I imagine we'll have to make up our own hardcore elements... or pray there is a hardcore server (roguelike!) or some crap. Seems like everytime someone asked/asks a question of a developer regarding an element that could be construed as distasteful or hardcore they respond with, "Well, we won't be doing that because the game would be less accessible but we have something really cool worked out to deal with that." Sounds like a load of crap to me.

I'm not sure about the felwithe/neriak thing, because dark elves aren't a different race (yet) in this lore. Takish-Hiz is already destroyed again in this lore as well, happened when the high magic ended the elven ruling era.

I'm eager to read the rest of these e-books to find out what happens to the Tier'Dal in this lore.

Not broken.
Felwithe is built in ruins of a dark elf city.

High Eli's fled takish hiz, landed in faydwer, fucked up the dark elves of caerthiel who were believed to be completely eradicated in the battle, however there was a tunnel of some sort that allowed some survivors to escape to Antonica, where they found neriak at the opening(or something along these lines) high elves then built felwithe atop caerthiel

That's...epic; makes me really wish there was some sort of dungeon attached to Felwithe now.

I'm not sure if that EQ Beta story became canon. In Beta, there was an in-game book called "Face Behind the Mask" or something. Innoruuk took the Elven King and Queen to the PoH and corrupted them into becoming the first Dark Elves. He then sent them back to Norrath, to Faydwer, where they eventually created a vast empire. Caerthiel was the home city, where Felwithe now is. "Face Behind the Mask" was removed from the game after Beta. Part of this might have been kept in LDoN... I don't remember.

Freeport was another former Dark Elven town (Wielle).

This story also claimed that Dark Elves were the true loyalists, and the High Elves were rebels. Wood Elves turned on the Dark, assuring their victory. Truth? Propaganda? Who knows...
