<DIV>One of the best EQ Lore sources I've ever seen, and it is a true shame that EQ2 ceased to be fun for her:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://lorenorrath.free.fr/" target=_blank>Lumena's Lore of Norrath</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One of my primary sources, as all the texts are the texts are either in-game books and conversations, or release notes from the official websites.</DIV>

http://lorenorrath.free.fr/ is great for both EQ1 and EQ2 lore.. sadly it also is no longer updated..While your grinding EXP or Roleplaying... go to the chat channels, there are two of them:/join lucan_dlere.eqlore (or just /join eqlore if you are on Lucan Dlere)   This is Lucan D'lere's EQLore education channel.  Lore talk there is restricted to known lore only and it is used to spread the official EQ2 lore as it is written to those who wish to learn.  It's also a room for lore-based RPers to gather and chat, and we also use it to discuss a server-wide storyline based on the lore.  Keep in mind this storyline has over 100 active participants (we have no clue as to the actual number, it grew too fast to get a good list going) and the room itself is pretty popular (peaked at 80 last night) even on other servers... so theres usually a good bit of random OOC chatting.  Just start talking about lore and everyone will get back on track.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   Room host is Draxehn (myself) and of course I appreciate Renita's help in hosting the room./join antonia_bayle.eq2lore (or just /join eq2lore if you are on Antonia Bayle)Renita of Antonia Bayle made this room almost exactly 2 weeks after I made mine, but she has studied the lore a LOT longer than I have.  Unlike me, she focuses a lot on the little details that lead to things that might be coming, and studies things like shadowed men lore.  We have bassically split the purpose of the two rooms.  Hers is used for lore masters to discuss ideas and speculations based on the lore in addition to the officially recognized lore.  Fortunately her room has stayed pretty pure as far as sticking to that one purpose.. so you wont hear us jabbering on and on about our storyline there, and since its not always flooded with people, theres not as much random OOC going on, so its often a better place to discuss lore, ill admit to that. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Renita from Antonia Bayle is the host of that room... though for a short time I took it over and used it to discuss Chuck Norris.Hope the rooms and that web site help you out!Draxehn Telunodir<div></div>

WOW. thanks. I had no idea this chat was out there. I will most def check it out. I still would like to know more about the queen. If anyone has some info. let me know.

[Vhalen]

<P>I have some info about Antonia Bayle. Perhaps I will share some of it in the near future. Before I tell more, can you tell me:</P> <P>1. Which Bayle is she supposed to be linked to?</P> <P>2. What sisterhood was she raised in?</P> <P>3. What is the name of her true homeland?</P> <P>4. Does she have any siblings?</P> <P>5. What was her true name?</P> <P>6. Who is her greatest ally in Qeynos?</P>

[Thax]

Ugh...I think I used to know most of this, but all I can remember right now is that I think her dad is Vishra out in Antonica.

Murrar Shar shows up on the Qeynos newbie island.<div></div>

[KeandraD]

Isn't he in Tenebrous Tangle? The other place would probably be Qeynos -> Freeport betrayal<div></div>

[KnightMarshal]

And here I was thinking my Darl Elf was her greatest ally. After all, when I was done betraying Freeport I was at ally with Qeynos, but my poor paladin who has been there all this time is still working on warmly.

[Vhalen]

<P>Well, 4 out of 6 ain't bad. So here is a bit of lore:</P> <P>"The greatest secret in his life was his love for Lady Shae of Felwithe. The Council of Qeynos demanded he wed and have children to further the Bayle lineage, but he had long refused. He fell in love with Lady Shae during his adventuring days, but the Council would not accept this union. The two secret lovers would meet within the bustling trade city of Freeport, Qeynosians believing Antonius was off on a hunting trip. Lady Shae would soon carry Antonius' child, his true first born. Antonius never knew this. He did learn that Lady Shae's high seas galley was lost within the Ocean of Tears. Antonius learned that Lady Shae was missing and went through a long spell of depression. Lady Shae actually went faked her death and went on to live on the isolated Isle of Erollisi. Her child, Shaonia, was to be raised among the amazon warriors there. Back in Qeynos, the Council persisted and demanded that Antonius wed. He would reluctantly marry and father twins, but his heart always belonged to Lady Shae.</P> <P>Late in life, Antonius would learn of Shaonia and Lady Shae and go to live with them on the Isle of Erollisi. Antonius would pass on his crown to his Qeynosian twins before faking his death in much the same way as his true love had done years before. Unfortunately, some time after arriving on the isle, The Great Avenger would fall victim to the blade of a mysterious assassin. The identity of the assassin was never discovered."</P>
