<DIV>Any 1 know some lore behind this item?Seems to me that it once was more powerful than it currently is.Here is what ive found about this item.</DIV> <DIV><EM></EM> </DIV> <DIV><EM> Regardless,It was no coincidence,surely,that the very laws and fabric of the universe were altered as soon as Aataltaal possessed and assembled all the peices of the wheel.The global destruction had begun to subside the moment he disassembled the artifact and spread its pieces once again.</EM></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So dose this mean that this item had something to do with the shattering,and the desturction that was upon norrath at the time?Because when tarton first created the item it was ment to destroy the gods essences at the very center of the universe,from what ive read/heard.Just wondering if any one had any other thoughts or info on this item.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I don't know too much about it other than in Everquest, before Ruins of Kunark came out, the Tarton's Wheel quest was important to wizards as it would give them the Ice Comet spell, which was the most powerful spell they had.</DIV>

(Couldn't get it to work when I was stuck on a crevase both in Lavastorm next to lava and in Bonemire next to the lethal fall. Luckily I have 2 gate spells and the splitpaw shard, but it is a long run back to bonemire or lavastorm form Splitpaw[Needs housing]/Maj'Dul[Needs TS zones]/ or south Qeynos[needs bell] </font></font></font><div></div>

Tartons wheel was a device that Tarton constructed to let him travel through the planes.<div></div>

North Ro, South Ro, and Oasis look somewhat the same as before.. NRo is still its own zone. Oasis and SRo became one big zone. Similiar layout as the old zones.. Remember where you zoned into SRo from Oasis? That's still there, so you can still tell where it seperates, it just isn't a seperate zone anymore.<BR><p>Message Edited by Kamimura on <span class=date_text>05-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:46 PM</span>

<DIV>Are you sure that's not a typo?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Quellious is the Child of Peace. Prexus is the Ocean Lord.</DIV>

<font face="Comic Sans MS">Yeah, I figured it was a typo. I was just suprised they missed it.</font><div></div>
