A New Look at Lucan's Love Life?

<p>The new tale that <font color="#ff3300">Xilania Nevagon <font color="#ffffff">tells now that she is the prophet for Inny.. Check out the highlighted section...</font></font></p><p></p><hr size="2" width="100%"><blockquote><p>"If you seek to advance the cause of the Prince of Hate we may have something to speak about.  If you are of the godless heathen sect please leave my presence at once or suffer my wrath!"</p><p>"You may address me as Xilania Nevagon, leader of the Dismal Rage but I have recently acquired a new title as well, Seraph of Hate.  If you prefer a simpler title for simpler mind, Lady Mistress will suffice. "</p><p>"What do you mean by Seraph of Hate?"</p><p>"I have been shown in a vision that the Prince of Hate selected me to be his chosen prophet at this time.  It is through me that the true followers of Hate will be sifted out from the dredges of this world.  I have been called to lead the heralds of Hate in the spreading of Innoruuk's will.   "</p><p>"What is Innoruuk's will?"</p><p>"Foolish one!  It is simply the subjugation of Norrath and the destruction of all inferior creatures through the powers of Hate!  Become one of us and embrace the mightiest of gods, or fall by his vengeful hand! "</p><p>"Why should I join the forces of Hate?"</p><p>"Quite simply, you would be on the side of the conquerors.  It is inevitable that Hate will encompass the world, there is nothing or no one that can hinder this outcome.  Join or perish, it is as simple as that."</p><p>"What is the Dismal Rage?"</p><p>"You must be new around here, or an incredible simpleton.  The Dismal Rage is the religious conclave of Freeport that jointly rules the worship of the dark gods of power, the greatest of which is Innoruuk, the Prince of Hate, of course.  It is a loose alliance that has served its purpose, for now..."</p><p>"It sounds as if you don't think the Dismal Rage will last."</p><p>"The Overlord has allowed the Dismal Rage to exist not because he believes in its work, but because he can use it as a means to control the citizenry of Freeport.  He sees us as a tool, a simple political device.  If only he were cognizant of the coming New Dawn... he would be not be so dismissive of this organization.  Lucan will one day look at his Temple of War and find it empty."</p><p>"What if Lucan finds out about your intentions?"</p><p><font color="#ff9900">"He won't, and he wouldn't believe you if you managed to get word to him.  <u><font color="#ff3300">My name has a certain... weight... with him.</font></u>  It will only be your death to try.  But please do make your attempt if you feel so inclined, the elimination of one more idiot makes things just that much easier.  hahaha!"</font></p><p>"What of the other members of the Dismal Rage that hold to their own gods, not Innoruuk?"</p><p>"They will come to see the true darkness or perish along with all of the other unworthy creatures.  They have served their purpose in this organization.  If they are smart they will desire to continue to do so."</p></blockquote> <hr size="2" width="100%"><p></p><p>Has Lucan been lured into a love affair that will end in tragedy? Has this seductriss played with our glorious Overlord's rotten heart? Does she have him wrapped around her little moldy fingers so that he does not see the coming threat?!? This vile creature has be-smitten our Overlord and blinded him to the growing infestation of theist-scum!</p>I pose the question, is this creature, Xilania Nevagon, undead? Could she perchance be the remanifestation of Lucan's dead wife? The reason his is widower? Has she seduced him in some way? What is the story behind the "weigh" of their relationship? I feel a certain doubt as to the relationship being merely business for Lucan, as all the lore goes, never has truly cared for the Dismal Rage and sees them, as I understand it, merely as a tool (As he rightly should, for we are all tools in The Overlords glorious Tool Shed of Necromatic Debasement!) So then, why does this little chic-a-dee hold so much "weight" over our glorious leader?In the research I have done I have found that she is not fat... surprisingly the Developers and Graphic Designers have yet to make a "Fat" character, dwarves come closest but even they are only portly, not FAT. So she does not hold any PHYSICAL "weight" over Our Overlord. It must be something else. Could she be the source of his Immortal Lich characteristics? Maybe she gives him a "Charge Up" on evil powers to keep his necromantic jucies flowing? But, then wouldn't it be the Foci, or some other Necromancer at the Academy of Archane Science who handles Necromatic Juice Distrabution? What could the relationship be between this temptress of the rotten, this seductriss of the foul, this charmer of the decayed, etc etc, ad nosium???Please help, for I have, in my studies, been unable to find any true Lore concerning Xilania Nevagon. I would think that the most Lore available for public decemination on her would be found in the Pen and Paper EQRPG book for Freeport. But alas, I have not the resources to procure such a source of information... Maybe one of you already has this treasure of lore and legend and would like to share the info on her, if there is any?I stand open to your opinions?I refer you to this thread, a previous discussion we shared concerning Lucan's Love Life...<a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=lore&message.id=10051&view=by_date_ascending&page=1" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=lore&message.id=10051&view=by_date_ascending&page=1</a>Nolan SeldonWarlock and Sage of NagafenMember of Death Reigns<div></div>

[DebasedMora]

She is not the Foci, she is the head of the Dismal Rage now, not the Original. Where ahs Vhalen provided any lore on <font color="#ffffff">Xilania Nevagon? I have trolled the boards, of EQLive, EQ2, EQ CoN, google searches, etc. Ihave found nothing on her. I'm not saying that I don't believe, just that in my searches, I haven't seen anything about her. If you could please provide me with a link Cad?</font><div></div>

[RaphaNissi]

Is she related to <a href="http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=960" target=_blank>this</a> former guildmaster of the Dismal Rage?  That's the only info I have found.<div></div>

[ganng]

<P>1). The Overlord is no idiot he saw the return of the gods long before we caught on thus the "bringing of the rain" event.</P> <P>2). Who has a better grip on the overlord's ear the head of a major city faction or some street rat?</P> <P>3). The lady is blabbering this within earshot of the guards do you not think the Overlord knows what she is saying?</P> <P> </P> <P>Seriously, do you honestly think that the Overlord could possible be letting this person go below his radar?  My only question id why Inny selected a Half Elf as his rep in the material world?  I think I smell an imposter.</P> <P> </P>

[DebasedMora]

Ooh GREAT FIND! RalphaNissi. She has a predisessor who was a Necromancer. I'd still like to know where the Lore that Vhalen shared is on her that Cad spoke of.<div></div>

[Koehianna]

I just thought when she said she had a certain weight with Lucan she meant that she's just a pretty powerful figure in Freeport.  She is the head of the Dismal Rage after all, she's gotta be really up there next to Lucan.<div></div>

[RaphaNissi]

Here is a theory to throw out there....  The ancestor I linked was human which can half explain why she is a halfelf.  Xelha Nevagon was friends with Opal (Foci), at least they were serving in the Dismal Rage together.  It would make sense that the Foci would be watching over this new Seraph of Hate.  We know the Foci has great influence with Lucan.  Maybe that is the "weight" that she has with Lucan.<div></div>

[DebasedMora]

OK, I found the script regarding Vhalens post concerning the Dismal Rage, or its new incarnation.<hr size="2" width="100%"><blockquote>I see that some of you do not know much of the Dismal Rage. Here is a bit of information that may come in handy in choosing your sect when joining the church of the Dismal Rage:<p>The Dismal Rage is an amalgamation of some of the darker religions of Norrath. It was not always this way. In the beginning, The Dismal Rage was comprised of disciples of hate. They were instrumental in the rise of Sir Lucan as supreme commander of Freeport. Unfortunately for them, Sir Lucan was not so appreciative. Sir Lucan rid Freeport, and Norrath, of most of the disciples of the Dismal Rage and destroyed their secret temple. Freeport babble says that Sir Lucan destroyed the Dismal Rage after they bestowed him with great powers to replace those that were stripped from his soul after falling from the grace of the gods of valor and love. No one knows if this is true, but that first incarnation of the Dismal Rage was destroyed. </p><p>For whatever reason, Sir Lucan kept one member of the Dismal Rage alive. Xelha Nevagon was the only original member of the Dismal Rage left alive. Some believe that Sir Lucan was related to her in some ways and some even believed she was his consort. During this time, Sir Lucan rid Freeport of all religion. Every religious order was forced from Freeport, one way or another. Sir Lucan eventually commanded Xelha to build a new Dismal Rage. This new Dismal Rage would pay homage to gods whose beliefs could be used in Sir Lucan's crusade to become the mightiest ruler on Norrath. Sir Lucan allowed this new church to exist for his own benefit. </p><p>The Dismal Rage is a dark sinister order of the occult and what most Norrathians would call, dark religions. They worship all evil deities. This order is based on a strict doctrine following something called the Covenant of the Accursed, an ancient tome rumored to have been taken from the Plane of Knowledge or the first city of knowledge called Tanaan. </p><p>There are 7 primary pantheons represented within this one religious organization. Each pantheon has a high priest that leads its individual flock. These 7 pantheons work together under the single director of the Dismal Rage, an appointed high priestess that must study all pantheons that are praised by the 7 sects. </p><p>• Plane of Fear / Modinites: </p><p>This sect pays homage to the pantheons of fear often referred to as the Thulian Gods. The last supreme deity of that pantheon was Cazic-Thule. They are named after the rumored name of the plane of fear, Modinthule. Priests are called Modinites and the sect leader is called a Thulian. </p><p>• Plane of Hate / Ruuks: </p><p>This sect pays homage to the gods of the plane of hate. Ruuks are named for a section of the plane of hate rumored to be the spawning pit of all creatures of hate, the Ruuk Abyss. The last known ruler of the pantheon of hate was Innorruuk. Priests are called Ruuks and the sect leader is called a Scronlord. </p><p>• Plane of War: / Drunds: </p><p>This sect is the largest within the temple. It pays homage to the pantheons of the plane of war. The last known supreme commander of the gods of war was called Rallos Zek. The priests are called Drunds and the sect leader is called a Vindicator. The Drunds get thier name from a fortress of Zek located in the planes called Drunder. Rumor is that the Drunds are in possession of a powerful artifact taken from the planar fortress by adventurers during the Age of Turmoil. The Drunds just recently procurred the artifact during the latter half of the Age of Cataclysms. </p><p>• Plane of Decay / Toxxulians: </p><p>Toxxulians are a small sect, but a sect much avoided by the others. They worship the pantheon of the Plane of Decay. The last known ruler of decay was called Bertoxxulous. The sect does not bathe nor wear clean clothes. They prefer to have their garments and bodies wither away over time. Priests are called Toxxulians and the sect leader is called a Detrioxx. </p><p>• Plane of Ocean / Kedgian: </p><p>This sect worships the gods of the oceans. They have named themselves after a legendary extinct race of underwater dwellers. This race was said to be the greatest race on Norrath, a race hailing from the Plane of Ocean. The last known ruler of the gods of ocean was called Prexus. Priests of the sect are called Kedgian and the sect leader is called an Autropos. </p><p>• Plane of Sun or Flame: Corilaxian: </p><p>This sect worships the pantheon of the Plane of Flame. The last known ruler of that pantheon was called Solusek Ro. This sect is named after the rumored true name of the plane of flame. Priests are called Corilaxian and the sect leader is called a Ro.</p><p>• Plane of Sky: Dracolyte: </p><p>This sect worships the pantheon of the Plane of Sky and god of all dragonkind. This is the smallest of the sects not numbering more than 20 in total. They are new to the Dismal Rage and not particularly liked by the other castes. Their tributes to dragonkind are one thing that brings great animosity upon this mysterious caste. Priests are called Dracolytes and the sect leader is called the Scalelord.</p> ------Tony "Sir Lucan" GarciaEQII Game Designer</blockquote> <div><hr size="2" width="100%">This post does not make any mention of Xilania Nevagon, only her predecessor Xelha Nevagon... The post makes mention that Xelha might have possibly been Lucan's lover. She might have been his wife way back when that has made him a widow now. and Xilania is his prodigy? She could be Lucan's great great great great great grand daugter. I think more info on this specific character needs to be given to us. Xilania Nevagon, could carry so much "weight" with Lucan, because he can't touch her as a seed from his loins, and is his last remnant of his mortal life left in Norrath?Additionally, if she makes mention of carrying so much weight with Lucan because she is the head of a large faction she would have used a different syntax. Dont mean to get off topic, but if you can spare a few years study up on Hegel, Russell, Wittgenstein, and some more of their modern contemporaries in reference to the meaning of linguisitics and symbolic language. If you do, you'll see that if she was making a inference to her role as leader of a faction, she would have stated, "I carry great weight with Lucan, go see for yourself" (Paraphrased of course). The key difference in what she actually said those has to distincitve pauses. Whether the game designers who added the pauses consciouly knew it or not, those two pauses add to her meaning something that goes beyond the "business" oriented mindset into a more personal realm of meaning. I.E. She has a connection to Lucan that is deeper, something that Lucan would, seemingly, at all costs do to protect her, if we follow her inferences from the rest of the sentence. The only reasons Lucan would be blind to the encroachment of the gods upon his territory is if there was something he placed higher value on distracting him. Could it be that this "something" of higher value is a, dare I say it, Grand-daughter, or at the very least, from Valhen's post, we can make a supposition that she is in some way related to him, possibly a Niece, or Cousin? Is it possible Lucan has a family?-Nolan</div>

Addtionally, she probly doesn't have the last name of Lucan because 1: He doesn't want her to because it would give everyone a way to harm him or give them leverage. 2: She is a relative, not the direct line of Lucan. 3. She is in no way related to Lucan, these are just the women he keeps as his personal consorts, mother, then daughter, and so on... or Nevagon could be a title...<div></div>

What relationship to the Foci does she currently have? I know they once both held the same position as leader of the Dismal Rage, but they seemingly have no relationship now, or at least somewhat at odds, because the Foci (Opal Darkbriar) is now the head of the Academy while Xaliana is the head fo the Temple...Wait a thought just occured to me... Opal Darkbriar was a member of the Dismal Rage... Vhalens post said that Lucan only let one person from the old Dismal Rage survive, Xelha Nevagon... so how did the Foci survive if Lucan killed all the old members... LORE DISCREPANCY!<div></div>

[DebasedMora]

OK, Vhalen, I'll try to reason this out myself, so I'm not going nutz all day waiting for a possible reply.Only one solution to this discrepency presents itself. Firstly, Opal belonged not only to the Dismal Rage, but also to the Academy of Arcane Sciences as the Guildmaster of Necromancers and Wizards, respectivly. Now it was Professor Romiak Jusathorn who was the Foci before Opal, and per one of Vhalen's posts, Opal did "something" to Professor Jusathorn, and I presume, this was an ousting of some kind that resulted in his death and Opal's promotion to Foci. I get my sources as follows:Bootstrutter's Guide to the Commonlands, Excerpt from the Tower of Zarvonn passage:<hr size="2" width="100%"><blockquote>The Tower of Zarvonn: The Towerof Zarvonn was constructed near the latter half of the Age of Turmoil and was a mage sanctum built for the then <font color="#ff3300">Foci of the Arcane Scientists, Professor Romiak Jusathorn</font>. Records told of two of these towers being built, but no fortune hunter, trotter or explorer has ever been able to locate the second. If the Arcane Scientists know of it's whereabouts, they are not talking. For now the dilapidated tower has become a haven for mad mages and the evil they spawn.</blockquote><hr size="2" width="100%">From Vhalen's post from the thread, "Vamps, undead, Fallen Gate, D’Morte and the peacock":<hr size="2" width="100%"><blockquote>Ah! Good old Professor Romiak Jusathorn. His extensive studies on Norrathian flora and fauna have been well documented. An original copy of 'The Lore of Fauna' is priceless some say. <font color="#ff3300">I feel bad about what Opal did to him, but then that is how she became The Foci.</font></blockquote><hr size="2" width="100%"><div></div>So, Opal had to have killed or transmuted, or in some way shape or form removed Jusathorn before Lucan destroyed the Dismal Rage. Only possible way I see it is that she was not part of the Dismal Rage when Lucan cleaned house. Xelha must have replaced her.

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">If she is the descendant of Lucan, that would make sense. Dark Elf + Human = Half Elf. Plus, it would also explain why he kept Xelha alive. </FONT></DIV>

[DebasedMora]

The "two" Opal's was dispelled, it was merely a game mechanic to have two representations of the same individual. The Opal of the Academy of Arcane Science and the Opal of the Dismal Rage, as far as lore goes were the same.<div></div>

[DebasedMora]

Xalina is a half elf? I thought she was a human... hmm... Her race wouldn't be based off of Dark Elf + Human, since Xelha was a Human. Opal Darkbriar was a Dark Elf, but Xelha her replacement was human, atleast in EQLive she is human. Xalina Nevagon does not necessarily have to be pure human though, since if she is Lucan's grandaughter there would need to be other individuals to make up the family tree. Lucan might have had a son with Xelha, the son would take Xelha's last name to protect him from Lucan's enemies, and then the family tree would develop from there... maybe there was an Elf thrown into the mix somewhere, who knows... *cough* Vhalen *cough*. Can I get some kind of response... a wink, or nudge, or nod in a direction... even if its just a recommendation to look at one piece of in game lore through this quest or that... Vhalen... come on... Lucan's got a fmaily, fess up to it...<div></div>

[DebasedMora]

I contest that Opal and Lucan did not have a sexual relationship. It was Lucan and Xelha Nevagon that the Lore points too. Stop putting Opal into this in areas where she doesn't belong.<div></div>

[DebasedMora]

I made the original inclusion of Opal in this discussion because of her "working" relationship with Xalinia Nevagon, not a maternal relationship.<div></div>

[DebasedMora]

I don't think Xalinia is Xelha in disguise. I think she is her great grand daughter, or something to that effect.The theory I would like to propose has been developed through the input in this thread, in its fully polished form is this:1. Lucan had an affair, possibly a secret marriage, to Xelha Nevagon before he became a Lich.2. Lucan and Xelha had a child togeather, but the child kept the last name Nevagon to protect it from Lucan's rising enemies.3. Xelha, as a Necromancer Guild Leader help, possibly in cooperation with Opal Darkbriar, turn Lucan into a Lich.4. Lucan has continually looked after his child, and the prodigy of the union between himself and Xelha, from behind the scenes.5. Somewhere along the lives of the decentents of Lucan they mated with an Elf. Thus why Xalinia is a Half-Elf.6. Lucan has guided, or simply appointed, Xalinia into her current position as the  head of the Academy of Arcane Science.<hr size="2" width="100%">Vhalen , any chance I could get even a little feedback? <div></div>
