Books of Lore

[Ama]

<DIV>I decided to search through the tomes that I have amassed in my house and came upon some interesting books I forgot about.  One book was titled "Seeds of Corruption" which talked about a dryad that went on a journey finding a powerful but cursed book.  It will take some time but i'll go in and get all of the text but it interested me because it talked about "The Forest of Prexus" and a "Circle of Stones" as well as this Dryad's dreams of being a matron. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The next book that interested me was the book on the Scales of balance.  It talked about two droags brother and sister with the brother *I believe* being slain by his sister because his faith waned.  The sister was named Shazoor and the brother was named Reshesser *i'll check on brother's name* but it interested me because it could be a good account of droags.  This could be documented proof of droags being allied to 1 sect of dragons following them because it is what "Veeshan" would have wanted. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have to ask does this brother and sister droag have a purpose in the "Dragon Isles" and did the brother survive or was he really killed?</DIV>

The Scales in Balance should be a good account of droags since it's the L&L book for them <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

<DIV>Sorry if I keep harping on the droags but the fact that they present themselves as zealot fanatics kinda bugs me.  From the lore I have seen in game it contradicts this notion and from what i'm understanding there is more than just 1 set droag race like the gnolls.  I'm thinking down the line some Exiled Droags will attempt to form an alliegance with Freeport and their lore/faith is the droags in the Overrealm are discracing the name of Veeshan. </DIV>

[Cusashorn]

<DIV>I doubt that. the Droags are pretty much self-contained within Kingdom of Sky. More to the point, they are ALWAYS loyal to a dragon. No matter what, they won't do anything unless they know a dragon is commanding them and they do thier bidding.</DIV>
