<p>Since some of the post-shattering Norrathians have little or no familiarity with the pre-shattering version of Norrath, I thought I'd post a few pictures that you might enjoy. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I was lucky enough to be given a subscription to Stormhammer server for the last little bit before it closed, so I also have some pictures of King Kazon from live events.</p><p>First, as an NPC (which must have immediately followed some misfortune, since his beard is missing!!)</p><p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/KazonNPC05.jpg" width="1024" height="768" /></p><p>Now the way that I recall him best...</p><p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/Kazon.jpg" width="586" height="732" /></p><p>The "lollipop" was a prize given out at special GM-run events, and was a badge of honor long after the server was gone, proof that one had been part of the realm of "Stormhammer."</p><p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/Lollipop02.jpg" width="119" height="282" /> <img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/Lollipop01.jpg" width="400" height="250" /> </p><p>There were three events, that I am aware of, in which King Kazon Stormhammer made a personal appearance.</p><p>One where King Kazon Stormhammer granted awards to his faithful subjects (as in the residents of Stormhammer server). We lined up to have our turn at an audience with the king, and each who offered a service or sacrifice pleasing to him (in roleplay) would be granted a reward (and yes, they could ask for a specific reward, but there was no guarantee ... He was the king, after all!)</p><p>The second was when he attended an impromptu "wake" of sorts, player-initiated, because the server (in which he ruled over all of Norrath) was going away.</p><p>I understand there was a third event on Luclin server, where most of the Stormhammer people went... sadly, because of a communication "oops" ... my own characters were moved elsewhere and I missed that event. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>From the audience event:</p><p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/KazonAdvThr.jpg" width="579" height="552" /></p><p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/KazonThr.jpg" width="814" height="674" /></p><p>From the "wake" (or as some called it, the "slumber party" ... it amounted to everyone realizing that they didn't want to log off, didn't want the server to end, so we all just gathered in Plane of Knowledge to wait for the lights to go out).</p><p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/SleepyGMs02.jpg" width="996" height="472" /></p><p>((Illusions tended to break out during that days-long vigil...)</p><p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/Slumber12.jpg" width="1024" height="768" /></p><p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/Eden_Evergreen/Screen%20Shots/Slumber07.jpg" width="1024" height="768" /></p><p>I hope you enjoyed these images!</p><p>Have a grand day. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
