Venekor

[TimidMou]

<DIV>Ok this has been bugging me for some time, so I guess I should ask:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Why are there two mobs named Venekor? And they even look exactly the same... If you don't know what I am talking about, the dragon that captured all the froggies in Cazic Thule was named Venekor, but there is another mob in the Halls of Seeing also named Venekor! How can there be a Venekor in two places at once, or are they twin brothers?</DIV>

[Cusashorn]

<DIV>Venekor is Venekor. It's the same Dragon found in Cazic Thule, found in the Froglok quest of Cazic Thule, and Found in Halls of Seeing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Think of it as him being in different locations when the time is appropriate. He was defeated in Cazic Thule so he retreated to the Halls of Seeing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Same can be said for Murrar Shar in Qeynos and that dark elf from Freeport. They're found on the Newbie Islands, they were found next to Antonia and Lucan during the old betrayal quest, and now they're found in Tenebrous Tangle.</DIV>

[TimidMou]

<P>Lol but we killed him and looted his corpse...</P> <P> </P> <P>He seems to have gotten a lot more powerful too.</P> <P> </P> <P>So if he is the same Venekor, anyone knows what is the significance of him being in HoS? It's rare for a mob to appear more than once, is there some story behind this?</P>

[Jait]

<DIV>Dragons don't die as easily as one might think.  This is explained a bit during Fire and Ice, Nagafen's quest line.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>While I don't remember the whole story, Venekor has lost control of the Frogloks and retreated to the Halls of Seeing.  Not sure why, or how.</DIV>

[Themaginator]

some things are just game mechanics man not everything is lore.  Technically you did not kill Venekor in SoL he got away and went to halls of seeing to regain his powers.  people need to learn how to differ between game mechanics and lore<div></div>

[Cusashorn]

<DIV>Yeah the only reason why you actually kill him in Spirits of the Lost is because the raid deserves Loot for it's hard work.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If Venekor had just flown away like that Erudite Drakota guy from the Fanged Sea boat ride, nobody would have gotten any loot.</DIV>

[IrishWonder]

<DIV>Yep, same Venekor. Though, sometimes I wish they'd change the game mechanics just a tad if they're going to pull something like the return of Venekor. Maybe, when you defeat him, instead of the death animation, he flies away and leaves the loot chest behind. That should be very possible to accomplish.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyways, he's in the Halls of Seeing because he's a part of the Cult of the Awakened. The Halls are his personal domain. Venekor is a bit of a kleptomaniac, and has stolen things from other dragons... so he holed himself up in the Halls of Seeing and put non-sentient golems on patrol so that word doesn't get out about his stealing problem. If it did, he might be kicked from the Awakened.</DIV>

[Triste-Lune]

because venekor has sign up a contract with SOE to be the recuring vilain along the game. i wouldnt be surprise if once we hit lvl 100 he d be the final ultimate boss that nagafen would ask you to kill in the last epic questline.Venekor v1 = contested in CTVenekor v2 = instanced in SotLVenekor v3 = Boss in HoSWaiting eagerly for his v4 <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

So Venekor is Emo basically.<p>Message Edited by Zarfto on <span class=date_text>09-13-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:47 AM</span>

Which means, Venekor isn't dead yet. Expect more lore on him to come out in 2-3 expansions.

Trakanon was once a member of the Ring of Scale.  When the Ring of Scale discussed ways to combat the imminent threat that was the iksar, he offered a "direct destruction of the iksar" idea to the Ring, and his suggestion was shunned aside.  With a few of the younger dragons, Trakanon, the poison dragon, attacked the iksar capital of Sebilis against the permission of the Ring of Scale.  Mortally wounded in this battle, Trakanon turns himself undead -- becoming the undead dragon we all saw in EQLive.  Being undead caused him to lose his mind, and thus was marked as an enemy to the Ring.Being a once proud member of the Ring of Scale, it is VERY probable that Trakanon mated with Phara Dar to create Venekor before the attack on Sebilis.  How long are dragons pregnant?  How long do dragon babies take to hatch?<div></div>
