Cazic Thule

<DIV>I'm considering selecting Cazic Thule as the diety for one of my alts when Faydwer goes live. I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on the lore behind the diety.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Astralmage on <span class=date_text>08-26-2006</span> <span class=time_text>05:16 AM</span>

<P>*sigh* again with that website...</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Anyway, yes, thats pretty much the gist of things. Cazic Thule created all races reptillian as well as the Trolls in a joint effort with Innoruuk. (which is why the swamp the trolls lived in is called Inno-Thul).</P>

The only references I've heard of Innoruuk's involvement was during the pre-beta lore that said they migrated from Kunark (defunct) and the lore for Legacy of Ykesha that said that Innoruuk swayed several of them to join his side.

Did you know Cazic was originally supposed to be represented as a large pile of goo?  Crazy!<div></div>

<P>Yeah it is Pre-Beta lore, but it was said that Cazic Thule allowed Innoruuk to slightly shape the race anyway he wanted, so he chose in his image (which is why they're green and have huge pointed noses, sharp teeth, and no hair).</P> <P>Whether or not this lore was debunked when beta started, the fact remained that the trolls could worship Innoruuk as a diety choice and the Innothul Swamp's name speaks for itself.</P>

Innoruuk is also the reason why the frogloks in Lower Guk were undead and evil.<BR>

Don't know about the Norrathian fungoids, but the Luclinite ones were Luclin's own unique attempt at creating a sustainable, rapidly evolving ecosystem.
