Zebuxoruk

<DIV>Well, this theory only works if the Plane of Knowledge was his demi-plane. If not, then go ahead and shut me down.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Someone earlier said that the Tanaanites created PoK, therefore they are at least honourers of Zeb. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now in FD, it talks about the Tanaanites (i think), and a "Forsaken" city. So is this the city that was built to honour Zeb?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is FD Zebuxoruk's long awaited lore?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(cheers if it is.)</DIV>

<DIV>NVM It states it clearly in the lore-tid-bit on the front page >.<</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>lmfao...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Still discuss?</DIV>

<DIV>Yep, the Tanaanites created PoK. I believe they called it New Tanaan themselves, but don't quote me on that... I'm sketchy at best when it comes to the PoK lore.</DIV> <DIV>I'm curious to find out how they "challenged the knowledge" of Zebuxoruk, thereby falling to ruin. They seemed to worship him (and knowledge in general). I can't see them challenging him in a hostile sense... perhaps they just went too far, like we mortals went too far when we started hosting block parties in the Planes, and released a curse of some sort upon their land (on top of the Shattering and the Rending :smileysurprised: )</DIV>

When the other planes "shut down," New Tanaan came crashing back to our reality violently.

<P>except that, according to the pop lore suggested the "forsaken city" (tanaan) and pok (new tanaan) existed at the same time</P> <P> </P> <P>as for why they did it, they worshiped zeb, but he had no desire to be worshiped, so they either got sick of waiting, or got desperate to save themselves from the rending and tried to claim "his" knowledge</P>

[Kindayr]

<DIV>They didn't worship, the honoured his capability and knowledge. Never worshiped, clearly says that in Zeb's definition.</DIV>
