Here is what ive been thinking ( probably a stretch! )

This clue points towards Lfay, I believe, and in that zone there is a shrine, here it is :
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/scen...k-monument.jpg
( A lot of my post is based on this, which could be completely wrong )

It looks like the symbol for Veeshan. On it are 3 symbols, starting from the SW corner. They look as if they could represent dragons?? These symbols are heading out in different directions.

"compare it through the looking glass" Looking glass could mean something like, crystal ball, which sees the future, like the future of eq II pic is suppose to do (Imagination!)
In the "future of eq II" pic, there is something colliding with what I, or we, think is Norrath, in the SW corner, If you look at a map of Norrath, Velious is located in the SW corner, and Ghaz states that this is where Veeshan landed?

So Back to the symbols on the shrine in Lfay. They look like they are heading out from the SW. In the future of eq II pic the other 3 symbols on " Norrath" are in the same direction as the symobols on the Lfay shrine. Make any sense? lol, perhaps they are nothing, but all these things are in the SW corners, and it seems suspicious : ) Also, with the future of eq II pic, maybe the other 3 symbols on Norrath represent dragons? or maybe continents. Perhaps they too, collided with Norrath like the one in the SW corner? Just something to think about, all of this caught my eye, finally decided to post these thoughts. If anything is wrong, just say and I will promptly destroy this post lol

[Ghaz]

My theory as of right now is something like this..(it's late and i'm exhausted).

The symbol on the orb is Veeshan , ruler of the Plane of Sky ( the sky surrounds Norrath!) and the first to populate Norrath with her brood. This also means the orb depicted on the stone is Norrath. The circle around Norrath represents Veeshan's Veil over Norrath or maybe some sort of "circle of protection?". The three symbols "on" Norrath are that of Brell Serilis ( the arrow with 3 candles ) , Tunare ( the 9 seeds ) , and Prexus ( 3 waves ). They are "on" Norrath because they were the next Gods to populate Norrath with their creations. The 3 symbols "surrounding" Veeshan also represent the pact that they made together to keep Veeshan in check. According to lore, Ralos Zek was also present at this meeting of the "good" gods but kept his distance so to say.

Ok, so the outer symbols.( lost a bit ).. the top left symbolizes Greenmist and the destruction of the Shissar empire and the uprising of the Iksar kunark release? The symbol on the top right symbolizes the discovery of Luclin? The symbol on the bottom right symbolizes the civil war between Paineel and Erudin and the creation of The Hole. The Symbol on the bottom left I haven't the slightest.

Another theory is that of the 4 horseman. The outer 4 symbols represent the evil gods:Rallos, Inny , Bertox , Cazic. The circle around Norrath is actually a circle of protection or Veeshan's Veil. The 3 inner symbols would represent the "good" races: Tunare , Brell , and Prexus. The evil gods trying to enter Norrath but the good gods protected by the circle of protection. Ultimately , Veeshan ruling all.

Mayong Mistmoore seeks godhood. Al'kabor seeks immortality. Miragul became immortal but not the way he wanted ( mistake in an experiment I believe). Also, apparently there is a gnome that will be added to this equation..Anyone know any important gnomes ( caster of some sort ).

With the recent influx of information, it's made things a bit more confusing. Although, I REALLY appreciate everyone's help!!! THANK YOU, EVERYONE! [You must be logged in to view images.

God images with a bit of lore: http://www.lqgaming.com/eq/data/2823....php/index.php

Edit: Since the Chelsith Stone is a calendar. Is it a calendar of classic Everquest , or Everquest 1? I would assume Everquest1, seeing as how the lore takes place in Everuqest2 as well.

[spoolie]

the only 2 gnomes that jump at me, are Maelin Starpyre.. and later on meldrath.

[Deric]

Biddyn was the first King of the Gnomes(Akanon).. Though I don't think he was a caster.. He was more-so a skilled orator.

Commenting on the pictures posted by Mixxit on page two:

On the image shown which seems to depict a moon being pierced by a beam of light and exploding, the spirialing trail of fire surrounding it is identical to the image found on the top right of our mystery symbol, so perhaps relates to the destruction of Luclin.

Also, what of the two small orbs marked with the green stars? The one at the bottom, far out from Norrath and the Veil (if that's what the middle orb represents) appears to be empty, and is clearly broken, with fracture lines running outside of the orb itself; this seems very likely to be Luclin itself due to it's position and condition.

The other orb I am less sure about; as others have mentioned, it is seems to be either somethign coliding with Norrath, or (the theory which I favour) something breaking away from the planet. I wonder if this indent in the central orb could represent the creation of the Hole, which if I remember correctly, blew a chunk of Odus into space. Perhaps then, the orb which lies above it could be something created in the aftermath of of this event (maybe Drinal was formed then? I know nothing about the visable moon)?

[mixxit]

Drinal is the only moon you see in the sky on project 1999 and eqlive (luclin was hidden by the veil)

Some say there is another moon but this might no be true. (See the observatory in eq2)

Also there may have been up to 5 moons at one point. The lizardmen lore seems to think so.

[mixxit]

The many worlds wrap around us like the smell of the swamp on our tongue. The world with the five moons and the two moons are only real. The worlds that are not real do not exist until they do. The world of the shattered moon and the world of no moons and all moons do not exist. The Alliz Evol Ew know this. And we know they are real.

In the land of the five moons, the stars still spoke with us. They taught us the secrets of the marsh. They taught us the secrets of fire. But the stars did not teach us the secrets of our heart. We could not feed until this secret was known.

Hope that helps!

Just chipping in with some updates:
As of last night, Cyrano and I spent several hours on IRC hashing out some of the finer points of the diagram. This is what we came up with:

1) Veeshan is the dragon at the center.
2) The pact of Brell, Prexus and Tunare joins Veeshan at the center of the circle.
3) The symbol to the left ear of Veeshan represents Antonia Bayle; the three rays of light can be found above the castle on the heraldry of Qeynos.
4) By elimination, the opposing symbol must be that of Lucan D'Lere.

On Antonia:
She represents the "good" half of humanity, and is the protector of Enoxus, the planar-sourced Claymore of Qeynos, which was once wielded by Roehn Theer the Godslayer to keep the gods in check.

On Lucan:
He represents the "evil" half of humanity, and is the wielder of Aeteok, which we know to be Soulfire. Soulfire was also wielded by Roehn Theer the Godslayer to keep the gods in check.

On them both:
The most recent expansion for EverQuest 2 was titled "Sentinel's Fate," and the cover contains both swords combined.

What we may derive from this symbolism we do not yet know, but it seems the path for us is a little clearer.

OTHER DISCOVERIES:
After deliberation, it has been confirmed that the 1/2 PM symbol is the Rune of Sunder, which foretold the destruction of Luclin. The symbol is also said to have an ancient partner, the Rune of Ethernere at the 3 PM position.

Documents from Rikantus Everling and Valdoartus Varsoon in EverQuest 2 confirm that this is the Rune of Ethernere. Ethernere a "symbol [that] represents a dimensional plane of existence far different than the known planes." Rikantus Everling's soul was divided into three parts by the primal forces of the Ethernere, and he became three separate shades: Rikantus Everling, Antiquitor Kantus Mor'Tael and Rikantus!

Now, in EQ2 lore, Rikantus Everling had a shop in Freeport past:

Although the shop produced an affluent clientele, it was located in the poorer section of Freeport due to its humble beginnings. It is said that it was also the perfect place to move contraband to and from the shop. That section of the city was later razed by the Freeport Office of Landholders by order of Sir Lucan D'Lere. They hired a dwarf crew to do the dirty work, Demolition Guild 426. I doubt you could find any remnants from that curios shop. However, an odd thing has been reported in the back alley taverns and black markets of Norrath, some say they have recently visited the House of Everling. Of course, those people that made such claims must be rathed. That entire section of Freeport was razed approximately three centuries ago and there is no record of a new Everling shop within Freeport. This would seem the case since a few of those few recent patrons have attempted to prove the existence of the shop only to find it was not where they thought it was.

Anything razed in EQ2 approximately "three centuries ago" still exists in the timeline of EQ1.

On the Rune of Sunder, we know several things:

Look to the stone of the Shissar.

"Hail, Antiquitor Kantus Mor'Tael"

Antiquitor Kantus Mor'Tael says to you, "Do I know you? Yes... the rune... the rune is the key."

"The rune of sunder?"

"You! I know you. The mystery begins with sunder."

"What is the mystery behind the rune? Where do I begin my quest?"

"Time is short. The rune is but one. I am... divided."

"No! Do not go."

It was too late. Whatever deeper memory within the man spoke to me, it had faded and he was nothing but a merchant of curios once again.

Rikantus says, "The rune's family awaits."

"What family?", you asked him.

"It is a single key of a great ring."

"What do you mean?"

"My thoughts... they fade and focus. Do not abandon the mystery. Do... not... abandon..."

"Stay with me, Rikantus!"

And one more thing:

On your way to Everling's Laboratory, you stumbled upon Everling's Research Lab and found 6 circles on the floor. You placed the dolls you acquired within. Idol of Everling appeared in the center and you took it. On the bottom of the idol you found an inscription that read, "Mor'Tael of Vul, Merchant of Oblivion, Servant of Theer". When you examined the idol further, you received an odd message, as if a voice had spoken. "Within thickets of fiend and flesh, through a tunnel beyond death... I call to you."

TO SUMMARIZE: The Idol of Everling depics Mor'tael of Vul, a servant of Roehn Theer the Godslayer. Mor'tael was an aspect of Rikantus Everling, the man who entered the Ethernere to avenge his daughters.

I have updated the pictogram with the correct labels.
