Looking for lore on West Freeport

[ArgaenDK]

<p>So I was running through South Freeport in search of a barber, when suddenly an ogre guard I was passing, kicked me to the ground. Rather confused I got up, ran away and got kicked by 2 other ogre guards before reaching the port to West Freeport.</p><p>In West Freeport there's ruins after some collapsed building and there's a lot of people standing around saying bad stuff about dark elves.</p><p>So my questions are, why am I suddenly getting kicked to the ground by the guards (I'm a dark elf necro) and [Removed for Content] happened in West Freeport with the ruins everywhere?</p><p>I recently returned to the game after 3-4 years, and I don't remember this happening before.</p>

[Meirril]

<p>Ok, face the center of the city and look up. Notice anything different?</p><p>At the interlude between TSO and SF the citidel crashed landed in freeport. Lucan D'leer went missing. Sections of the city were taken over by Thexians (who are probably void possessed). The freeport millita and Lucanic Knights are hold up in west freeport wondering what to do. Other sections have been taken over by the Dreadnaughts who are probably being paid by the Thexians to do so.</p><p>I'm sure as we move into the next expansion there will be some rebuilding effort to restore the citidel to its former glory.</p>

[ArgaenDK]

<p>Thanks, that explains a couple of things.</p><p>I can't remember a citadel floating above the city though, but as I said, I haven't played for 3-4 years. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

They have the effects as they are Thexian Spellblade casters not just thexian soldiers.</p>

[Larkverdin]

<p>While I agree for once with Cusa about them not being void-possessed, I don't get the feeling that they're there to help Freeport. Sure, they may be under the very tenative guise of attempting to maintain peace within Freeport during Lucan's disappearance, but honestly, they're dark elves. Since when did any dark elf in Norrath's lore ever have good intentions of honestly just wanting to help out? I believe the dark elves are there scouting out to see how Freeport is doing without Lucan, under the political attempt of "just keeping the peace here" kinda mentality. But in reality I think the dark elves in Freeport are a ploy for later on attempting to take over Freeport. They've always had a very lose peace between them anyway, this can't possibly make things better, imo.</p>

[Cusashorn]

<p>Oh I have no doubt they have an ulterior motive, but they still say "Death to the enemies of Lucan" to keep up appearances.</p>

[shadowscale]

<p>what i want to know... is there has been no mention of Kyle Bayle or Tayil Nvelex in SF. they were a big part of the prelauch, now... nothing...</p>

[DukeOccam]

<p>So I haven't had much time to play the past few weeks, but I noticed in the notes for the upcoming GU57 that Lucan is returning. So...what happened?My memory is really foggy, but during the Claymore replica quest, didn't Antonia and that circle of 10 decide to try to get Lucan back, as an uncontrolled Freeport was about the only thing worse than a controlled Freeport? Did anything ever happen with that?I always sort of hoped that this might signal a big change in the politics of Norrath; that maybe Qeynos and Freeport wouldn't be so clearly good and evil anymore. While it was novel when I first heard about it in 2005 or whenever, I have to say the cities' one-dimensionality is a lot less interesting than I thought it was going to be. It would be kind of depressing if Lucan just reappears and everything goes back to normal.</p>

[Meirril]

<p>Somehow Lucan returning doesn't mean the citidel just floats back up when he returns to me. I think there should be some rebuilding, a few purges and some general shake ups. A few old NPCs shouldn't come back. Not that anyone sees those NPCs on a day to day basis anyways.</p>

[Windslasher]

<p>Lucan is returning to the citadel with GU 57. Under his leadership, the Freeport Militia and the Lucanic Knights got organized enough to drive the Thexians out and put the Dreadnaughts in their place. While the Dreadnaughts simply folded, many of the Thexians struck out from the city in search of an easier place to dominate: Darklight Wood...</p><p>Freeport is still far from being rebuilt, however. You'll notice some NPC's have been conscripted to work on cleanup.</p>

<p>Grab that giant group of NPCs that just hangs out up the road towards the bank/arena... and put them to work!</p>

[Powers]

<p>I realize it's a long tradition and all, but sometimes I really wish they'd stop putting the most lore-centric storylines on raid encounters.  Roleplayers and other lore-hounds tend to the casual side of gameplay, while many raiders couldn't care less about lore and story.  (Some do, but it sure seems like most of them just want loot and bragging rights.)</p><p>Powers  &8^]</p>

<p>Yeah that's what I want to see. I don't care about loots at all, I just want to complete the quest and see what happens. For certain storylines like the Claymore, Destiny lines, etc... you should still be allowed to get the final weapon at the end, but only because it serves as clues to other things down the line, not because it's a weapon.</p><p>I'm still waiting to gather a group of 90's together to tackle the gnome and Tarinax in Deathtoll to finish that one up.
