The Rebuilding of Freeport (and Qeynos)

[Anestacia]

<p>Just curious if we are going to see some kind of prelude event to the rebuilding?  Is there going to be a disaster (outside of West FP) that facilitates a need to be rebuilt?  Are we as players going to get to help in the rebuilding process or are we going to go to sleep one night and wake up to a brand new city with brand new architecture?  I know were still a few months out but I did notice a Beastlord prelude that was mentioned but haven't seen anything about FP.</p>

The "Rebuilding" of Freeport has been seen in the game now for the last year. The whole Kidnapping of Lucan and the strife that it brought is the reason why it's being rebuilt. As for Qeynos, who knows?

The different factions within Freeport started to fight amongst themselves for power over the city, and you get what we see today.</p><p>Now that Lucan is back, he's going to unify the city showing everyone who's boss again, stop the infighting, renovate Freeport, bolstering the economy and basically making it a city that the citizens can be proud of again.</p>

(Causing the Qeynosians and the Gnolls to Grudgingly ally with each other with  Anti-Qeynos hold outs no live in the Steppes) And adding a place for the Gnolls to call home within the walls to help defend against Orcs.</span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">A Hurricane full of Necromatic Energy?</span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Survivors of the Knights of Thunder return and try to regain good will and donate money for the rebuild?</span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Silent Fist mention that the Geomancy for the City is off and a rebuild is needed to keep the mana from doing something disastrous? (Not to mention make a larger Silent Fist Dojo that is a Quest Hub for Monks-Fight Club Brawlers-and Beastlords? and a New Official Leader since the old one is occupied as Quellious's Mouthpiece?)</span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Sorry my Imagination is running away with me again.</span></p>
