T'Narev and the Ashen Order. I feel I am Home with my brothers.

[Cusashorn]

<DIV>As I traveled through the goblin infested lands of the Burning Pillars, it brought joy to my heart to stumble upon T'Narev and the remnants of the Ashen Order of Tranquility.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Being a Human myself, it made me VERY happy to see that each and every last member of the Ashen Order is a Human, just the way the monk class is suppose to be. No Iksar. No Gnomes. No Elves, No Trolls, No Erudites or Barbarians or Halflings or Dwarves..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just Humans.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I will need to level up before I can help them out, but just seeing them still thriving strong has been wonderful.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/DRCEQ/Ashenmonks.jpg"></DIV><p>Message Edited by Cusashorn on <span class=date_text>09-13-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:54 PM</span>

<P>What do ya mean the "way its supposed to be"?</P> <P>We gnomes had the kung fu way long before humanity fell on the planet like some droppings from a birds butt.</P> <P>But Oh now the humans think they have the kung fu... in all reality all they have are poorly passable imitations passed</P> <P>down from other hacks.</P> <P> </P> <P>Long live the Martial Gnome Monks!</P> <P> </P> <P>Chingdow</P> <P>gnome monk</P>

<DIV>Because only Humans and Iksar took up the Monk profession in EQlive.  (And the Iksar didn't come around untill a year after EQ started.) The Ashen Order of monks used to be in Freeport, but moved out since they didn't want to submit to Lucan's rule over the city. They set up thier own fortress called T'Narev (Verant) in the desert and have been there ever since.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Secluded from the rest of the world.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Only humans existed in the Ashen Order back then and only Humans exist in it now because they've been secluded from everyone else over the past 500 years. No involvings with Qeynos or Freeport.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you take a look at Maj'Dul btw, you'll notice that only about...... 5 NPC's in the entire city are not human.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Cusashorn on <span class=date_text>09-14-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:35 PM</span>

Shen Rai is of the Disciples, not the Order FYI.There's two sepperate factions in T'Narev. The Disciples supports the Dreadnaughts (Freeport Brawlers), where as the Order is the old monk hippy Tranqulity people.<div></div>

<DIV> <DIV>What are you all talking about, we are brothers and sisters!</DIV> <DIV>Im a Kerra and proud to be part of the monk society.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Listen to my old master wise words: "<SPAN>The person as a creative individual is much more important than any style or system."</SPAN></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>Shen Rai is with the Order. He's amiable to me, and still calls me a weakling.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Stupid Halfie. I'll show him!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Ilina</DIV>

<P>Those slippers Shen is wearing are to die for....</P> <P>Proper monk slippers!!!</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

[Krozl]

<P>Actually Gaige, that is the new and improved Human model for the Ashen Order....</P> <P> </P> <P>After 500 years of inbreeding and seclusion certain "anomolies" are bound to crop up. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

<blockquote><hr>Krozlan wrote:<P>Actually Gaige, that is the new and improved Human model for the Ashen Order....</P> <hr></blockquote>Well why does the improved Human look like a half-elf? Explain!

[Krozl]

The ears are just a start, and that ain't a ring in his nose that's bone protruding, eventually the kids will look like Ogers, smell like Trolls and have the int of the fleas that feast on thier hides. :smileytongue:

<P>Back in eq1, there was very little reason to play a human other then being a monk.  Unfortuantely once Kunark came out with the Iksars, they made far superior monks due to their stats and natrual regen.</P> <P>When I saw in eq2 that all races could be all classes, I was a bit saddened. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

<DIV>Silly SOE.... T'Narev... Verant.  Nice nod to the original developer there. </DIV>

I *KNEW* you were gonna point him out to me. That doesn't change the fact that the monks are entirely Human though. After all.
