Looking for some Kerran history.......

[Enigami]

<DIV>Hello. My name is Raranak and I am Kerran. I am very proud of my race. One thing I've been unable to do so far is discover all the secrets and history of my race. Are there any fellow adventurers that might have stumbled upon some knowledge I might not know of? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>/ooc Can anyone tell me a bit about Kerra history? Or does anyone have some links I could check out that would give me some more detail about the Kerra race? Thanks in advance :smileyhappy:</DIV>

<DIV>The Kerra are/were a tribal race of fisherman who lived on the continent of Odus. They were pretty scrawny in stature. They mostly kept to themselves, but they ended up becomming hostile towards the Erudites because they decided to encroach on the Kerrans without prejudice.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When Luclin was rediscovered, the teleportation between the Nexus and Norrath allowed the Vah Shir to finally go back to norrath and interact with thier distant cousins.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When the gods finally shut off the nexus and druid rings, basicly disrupting mass teleportation all over the world, the Vah Shir adventurers on Norrath were now permanently cut off from thier city on the moon.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>They decided to integrate in with the Kerrans on Norrath, and through reproduction with the Kerra, transformed the race from scrawny fishermen to.... huge Preditor-Cat sized fishermen...</DIV>

I think you still can find that quest book in South Qeynos Library. While you complete the quest, you get the info about the Lore and all. It was fun !

<P>It is a true shame Lumena has retired, for her site is a wonderful catalogue of lore.  Here is a good link for the topic at hand:</P> <P><A href="http://lorenorrath.free.fr/read.php?link=historyvahshir" target=_blank>http://lorenorrath.free.fr/read.php?link=historyvahshir</A></P>

<DIV>I'm not sure who created them, but the Kerran originally settled on the island of Odus. They were a tribal race, and by comparison they weren't as developed as the elder races of Norrath. Their leader was Kejaan (spelling?). Kejaan united all the Kerrans into one big kingdom and they lived happily for awhile. During the Combine Empire of the Human's, a group of Humans split off and joined faction with a man named Erud. They moved off to Odus as well, and as the Erudites usually do, they decided that the Kerrans were far inferior to their uber brains. They took over much of the continent, and I believe they even enslaved many of the Kerran peoples, but I'm a bit hazy there. A plague set in on the Kerrans (Cat Scratch Fever I believe it was <IMG height=16 src="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif" width=16 border=0> ) which may or may not have been brought over by the Erudites... not sure. This plague nearly wiped out the Kerrans, and claimed the life of Kejaan, leaving his son Vah"Kerreth to lead the remaining Kerrans.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now Vah'Kerreth (spelling again?) was pretty angry at these Erudites, and rightfully so. But before he could purge them from Odus, a civil war broke out between the original Erudites and the pact of Erudites who had begun to study Necromancy. This was an extremely destructive war fought with magic, and a powerful mis-fired force of energy accidentally hit a settlement of Kerrans along with Vah'Kerreth and transported them to the moon of Luclin. Hidden away here for many years, the Kerrans developed into a stronger and more intelligent race which Vah"Kerreth called the Vah'Shir. Down on Norrath, the remaining Kerrans, now leaderless, scattered to a few islands around Odus.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When a portal was opened up to travel to and from Luclin (Shadows of Luclin expansion in EQLive), many Vah'Shir went to revisit their homeland. They bred with the Kerrans there, and as a result the Kerran race became stronger, evolving into the Kerrans we know today. After the Shattering destroyed the moon of Luclin, the race of Vah'Shir was all but extinct. The remaining Vah'Shir bred into the new Kerran race.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Events from that point until now I'm not sure of. All I know is some of 'em ended up in Freeport, and some in Qeynos. If you want more in-depth history on the Kerrans, I know there is a book, "History of the Kerra," that you can get in the Qeynos Mage Tower or Freeport Library I believe. It has two or three parts, and goes into more detail than I'm able to. Hope that helps ya out <IMG height=16 src="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif" width=16 border=0></DIV>

They claim the first Kerra came from rocks which were shaped and given life by the wind.
