someone copy and paste please,... the explorer doesnt like TT's page while here at work.

troodon · 03-04-2008, 04:09 PM

Well, the whole point is to try and get you to go to their website. I don't think it would be proper to copy and paste it here.

That's right! So those of you who want to be involved but for some reason or other are unable due to restrictions beyond your control...

Well that's just too darn bad! Just don't go expecting those of us who have, to be helping you who have NOT! NONE FOR YOU!!!

What do you think this is anyway? a place where people are... accepting? Helpful?? Understanding???

/sarcasm off

check your PM's rezi, i will send it to you so as not to ruffle any overly-sensitive feathers

Arianah · 03-04-2008, 06:53 PM

Is this 'canon' or fan?

Gukkor2 · 03-04-2008, 06:56 PM

Kaltuk Ironstein-- god of alcohol? Possibly.

Cusashorn · 03-04-2008, 06:57 PM

Well, a developer posted it... even though it was probably writen by a fan. I know we need some background lore on Brell's Day and everything, but why not just exhibit it in the game?

Anyways, a tavern where lost souls forget that they're on a mission to find what they were looking for huh... Isn't that kind of a bad thing overall? What if that soul was just trying to find it's final resting place? Wouldn't an everlasting bliss just be a Limbo?

missdoomcookie · 03-04-2008, 07:20 PM

To verify, this is canon. Consider it as part of the "series" that began with the Heart of the Hound.

Arianah · 03-04-2008, 08:25 PM

Kk, thanks! SMILEY

shadowscale · 03-04-2008, 10:17 PM

will we be seeing any quests out of this stuff? or is it just written lore?

/sarcasm of

It's not a question of being accepting, helpful, or understanding, jerk. The text is posted on that website to create traffic for them, the dev team gave them that story for that reason and missdoomcookie posted a link rather than the story for that reason. All the guy had to do was wait to get home for work. How shocking of me to think that possible of a member of this community!

Jindrack · 03-05-2008, 12:42 AM

Doomcookie wrote the ballad and she can even sing it really well too!

This will directly relate to content in the game. That much I can say. SMILEY

Why didn't she just say so in the first place? SMILEY

Themaginator · 03-05-2008, 01:50 AM

So apparently this is related to our next expansion according to several posts!My gosh could it be we finally get to see this Ethernere place!?****GLEE*****

It's Brell's Day lore. Doesn't necissarily mean it's related to the next expansion. Just the next Holiday.

Rainmare · 03-05-2008, 03:48 PM

Okay doomcookie...since you can sing it, mind telling us what the tune for this is, so some of us can pester our guildies on ventrillo with this song? SMILEY

Vhalen · 03-05-2008, 05:23 PM

I have heard rumors that the Burglars, Norrath's number one rockin' band, know this song. I could be wrong, I was downing a lot of Blackburrow Stout during their set.

O the band with Rothgar in it? Those dudes sing an interesting song about SF mountains.

Actually if I remember right it was Gnobrin who linked to this originally from another post in the community section and he had said something similar that in some round-about way this bit of info DID have something to do with the next expansion... He said something to the effect that it wasn't directly related, but it was in some distant sort of way...

That's exactly what I thought when I read that link...but then the Tower from Doom's story? I don;t see how it links up =[

missdoomcookie · 03-06-2008, 07:32 PM

Giving credit where credit is due:"The Tower of Lost Souls" was Vhalen's. I only wrote the song. SMILEY

"Escape from Guk" is back to my pen though.
