Vaniki

[kyrr]

So I have a ratonga. She crafts in the Circle of Vaniki. She's done the Wheel of Vaniki quest, nice ending <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. So who/what the heck is Vaniki?!?!? Thanks, I know someone out there knows <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I remember the name from EQ1, some rat in Dragon Necroplis I think.<div></div>

Vaniki is the god of cheese, and lives on drinal (the moon that looks like the earths moon, which as we all know, is made of green cheese).The plane of cheese is a very dangerous place, with fondu volcanoes, the whole ridden fields of chedder, and the swamps of limberger as notable landmarks. Many a ratonga had ventured into this plane, never to be seen again. While some heritics claim this is because the little rats grew to fat to fit thorugh the portal and return to norrath, this adventurer believes that it is due to the dangerous mozerella monsters which stalk the landscape, and the feroucious feta flyers swooping down to devour the unsuspecting ratonga who so eagerly mine the vast wastes of the gouda flats.Beware of vaniki, holder of the power of cheese!<div></div>

Vaniki is the demi-god of cheese wheels.  Hi is related to Velveeta, the demi-god of cheese food.

Thanks to everyone. I never played any other EQ games until EQ 2 which I started in Feb of this year. I like to know the stories behind stuff, makes it seem more "real" not just run around and do stuff. Know what i mean jelly bean? <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I did a google and there are no other references to a paebala except EQ, so I assume there was a Russian developer in the EQ team since it is an obsenity derived from the equivalent of the f-work in Russian.<BR>

<DIV>Probably just coincidental.</DIV>
