It's gone!"</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">Waking up, Navarro realized he was just dreaming.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">"My sword! Where is it?!" Navarro panics as he frantically looks for a blade that he no longer has. </font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">After looking to no avail, he falls to his knees pulling harshly at his straggly, long hair.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">Navarro began weeping tears of insanity that had worn at him from all the years of nothingness.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">"Stolen away...from all I knew...all I loved."</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">A moment later Navarro stands to his feet, wiping the tears from his eyes.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">"But that is no more.", he said with a sniff.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">There was a time when the gods watched as mortal power grew. They became fearful, and decided that there should be a barrier between their world, and that of mortals. With that, they created the Plane of Time to hold mortal beings at bay. To create a plane of such design, they drew upon the essence of the world of Norrath. Streams of life energy were pulled from the world and projected into the heavens.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">In a strange twist of fate Navarro had began his ascent through the spires to Luclin to meet with his friend, Irras Locksheon. When the spires activated, Navarro was whisked away in a beam of light toward the moon. At that exact moment, one of the life streams collided with Navarro's path, carrying him completely off course to a type of limbo.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">Trapped in a place where time had little effect on him, Navarro could see both Norrath and the Plane of Time, but could reach neither. And there he stayed, alone to dwell in his own madness for over five centuries, until the gods abandoned the Planes.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">Navarro slowly stumbles out of the door of the inn, taking in a deep breath of fresh air. He looks straight on into the landscape in front of him.</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">"Oh how it's changed."</font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">From there he begins to walk into the horizon with no particular destination in mind. </font></p> <div align="left"> </div> <p align="left"><font size="3">Will the world of Norrath ever reclaim one of its old shining heros? The path from insanity is long and lonely. None walk this path... save one. His name is Navarro Altion.</font></p> <div align="left"><u>                                                                                                                                                          </u> </div> <font color="#cc3300"><b>Some Things I'd Like to Point Out </b><font color="#ffffff">First, the volume is a little lower than I intended.  Crank your speakers so you can hear the voices. Second, this video would have been released a week ago, but I accidently deleted it.  Yes...you heard me.<span>:smileysad:</span> </font></font><font color="#cc3300"><font color="#ffffff">Needless to say, I struggled with recreating each scene and voiceover for about two weeks. </font></font><font color="#cc3300"><font color="#ffffff">Then the time came for me to record some voiceovers, and I got a sore throat, so it was delayed yet again. I'm so tired lol.  And I can't remember the last time I actually PLAYED EQII haha. So this will probably be my last video for awhile, unless my muse punches me. I'd also like to mention that the story above is one of eight stories which can be read <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tales_lore&message.id=903&query.id=111394#M903" target="_blank">here</a> .

<P>Hey Irras,</P> <P>another amazing video, thank you <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

[Khejido]

<P>Yeah, </P> <P>I can definately say, this video was a bear to make. Going over to Irras' house, getting footage for about 12 hours the 1st day, and the second day, another 12 hour day of voice overs and putting the video together.....and then (bum bum bum bum!) DELETED!..............</P> <P>I was so mad with him. It was a stinking masterpiece! Altho, i've gotta say, now that he's tweaked the 2nd one after me complaining (big grin), It's much better</P> <P>I did the voice overs for Archonn (the barbarian from Halas) and Khejido. I must say, I had quite a bit of trouble getting his last bit of lines done. </P> <P>Maybe, one day i'll get around to posting what i have written of the story of Navarro.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>-Nevirro T'Mahl</P>

You used Fear Factory and Mist III music. How can you NOT go wrong with that line up? Your use of music with voices is just awe inspiring. ROCK ON!<div></div>

<DIV>nice work Irras, patience is a must when awaiting one of his videos, although it was shocking on the turn around time after you</DIV> <DIV>deleted the first one by mistake, i was expecting a longer downtime, due to your always being a perfectionist  =P</DIV> <DIV>very kool how you left it wide open for more to come, but do take a break and play the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] game, you don't want me to out</DIV> <DIV>lvl Harte now do you? /evil grin</DIV>

wow just wow like i so loved it

[crashzero]

The quality of EQ2 videos these past weeks have skyrocketed. Amazing Irras, simply amazing ! So looking forward to the sequel <span>:smileywink:</span> <div></div>

[Forest_Wulfe]

<P> Wow! Simply amazing movie Irras... I agree with Zemfira here as well, the portal scene was absolute genius (in fact, there were many scenes I could point to that were very impressive). Very well done my friend, enjoyed it greatly.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

[StormQueen]

<DIV>What can I say? Astounding. Simply awesome work. Encore!</DIV>

[LadyShylah]

Totally amazing! Very dramatic <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I can't wait to see what happens next! Kudos to the voice actors and great job putting this all together.<div></div>

[Irr]

<div></div>Thanks a lot guys.  Just to let you know, I've got some ideas floating around atm, so eventually they'll make it onto my computer.  It was really fun getting together and doing voice overs.   Alistair lives about 2000 miles away, so it was interesting sending .wav files back and forth until we got it right.  As for Navarro,  phew , well that's my younger brother and boy was THAT fun.   <span>:smileymad:</span>   But hey, in the end we got it done, and they both did a great job./cheers to you guys.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Irras on <span class=date_text>06-08-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:02 PM</span>
