Subject: Zone Lore: Butchers Block
Hi all, I've got a few questions about some sights I've seen in the
Butchersblock zone on Faydwer. Hopefully some of you may know the stories
behind these places.
- There's a giant chessboard where undead chess pieces spawn. Anyone know
the story/history behind this?
- This zone has a golden tower out in the middle of nowhere. You can go
into it, but there's nothing there (at least nothing when I went into it).
I'm not sure if anything spawns here or not.
- There's a place there called the Orc Totem, a large totem pole in a
fairly small valley. Orc Oracles and Ceturions spawn there regularly.
I've been told that this is where D'Vinn trained the orcs in the arcane
arts. The hole in this story is D'Vinn. He's a rogue, not a mage - what
would he know about trainning people in the arcane arts?
- There is the ruins of a temple or something (a whole bunch of columns,
standing and fallen) where skeletons spawn. There's a merchant there that
sells Druid spells. What's the story behind the temple; when did it fall
and who did it fall to?
- There are two Orge NPC wandering around Butchers Block, Corflunk and
Zachume(sp?). The Ogre lands are in the southern part of Antione. What
are these two doing here in Butchersblock? Zachume(sp?) seems to be a
druid or something - a possible connection with the temple ruins mentioned
above?
- A friend of mine found a huge stone face carved into the wall of a
shallow cave way out in the middle of nowhere. She was alone and because
it was so isolated and such a long walk, she didn't stick around to see if
anything spawned there.
There is either a great story here or evidence of programmers dropping
acid. =)
