I've been playing EQ since 2002, and knew very little of this. My main is even a Faydwer native. 🤪 Very cool video! I'll have to break out all the EQ D20 books that have been collecting dust on my shelf.
Just came across this video and you have an knack for storytelling. This was really cool and entertaining! I hope you make more in the future. Even though the last video uploaded was 2 years ago :D
You have a very smokey and relaxing voice, and the info is fluid and concise, and there aren't very many lore vids. Are you only doing creature segments? Or have you thought about doing a broader topic like a history/timeline piece? Thanks again for the thoughtful quality. Also really appreciate you taking it from the perspective of your character.
Thank you for the kind words! I've been working on my reading voice so its nice to know its helping. Creature videos are easier to make, their shorter and I can use more in game footage to fill out the audio, where history and timeline pieces are longer and need more visual aids. Telling the history of Unrest really caught me off guard when the script ended up being 6 pages! I plan on doing more history and timeline videos as I slowly become better at making videos. My ultimate goal is simply to share as much lore as I can.
the blood on the floor was not just decoration? man, this is so cool learning this stuff. thank you so much. makes me want to jump in the game and head over there, right now. even though i know id probably be chased out immediately or spend hours on a CR.
Floor, wall, ceiling, Tentragen used blood like fingerpaint! Thank you for watching, I'm glad I can share these stories :) Well if you do go and get chased out remember to /shout "Train to zone!" for old times sake.
Wow I love your channel. Tho not many videos but I subscribed cuz I was addicted to Everquest and wanted to know more of it. Please keep up the good work!
The Prestige Quest for the Dwarven Work Boots is given by a descendant of Garanel. The quest giver is called Hwal Rucksif. I believe the ghost of his ancestor you put to rest in that timeline is Garanel. Pretty wild throwback.
Thank you. The sources I've been using for my videos are a series of dnd like RPG books that were published by Sword & Sorcery/Whitewolf. The information and professional art in this video comes from the book Everquest Realms Of Norrath: Dagnor's Cauldron.
What a tragic tale; are some of the images you used from the old D20 Everquest RPG? This haunted manor sounds like a great place for some tabletop adventures!
Yup, the book is Realms of Norrath Dagnor's Cauldron. Since the books are out of print I try to show as much of the art as possible to help preserve it. I know! It reminds me alot of Death House from D&D, I might try running it with 5e monster stats one day.
@@lorewhoregalore1393 It would be great if they revived Everquest as a setting for 5e, Pathfinder or any other system; however, it's pretty unlikely considering the RPG books came out when Everquest was in full swing.
whait... there exists OTHER liches than Miragul? I thought he was the First and only one since the "how to be a Lich" is burried with him in the North (that what i thought when i read "Realms of Norrath: Everfrost Peak") ALSO question: was this whole lore ever... explained ingame? i mean could you really get all of this by talking to NPCs and stuff or was it more fleshed out in the Everquest D20 sourcebooks?
To answer this I have to bring up a huge problem with Everquest lore: Consistency. There are actually four different tellings of the events of the Estate of Unrest: -The original quest for the Bard Epic weapon where you bring Serra her doll and she says her father is Baenar Swiftsong. -EQ RPG book which is what my video is about -The story from the Maps of Myrist -The raid instance 'The Curse begins' that was added in the Dragons of Norrath expansion. While they are all direct from EQ source material, none of them are exactly the same, actually they are all rather different. The only thing that seems to be consistent is that a dwarf named Garanel went mad and killed a human priest of Quellious. The RPG book is the only one that mentions the lich Tintragen or the priest Ayernosh, while the in game raid instance doesn't even say Cazic-Thule was involved in the curse at all. Most of the stories paint poor Garanel as a dwarf that just went crazy and is now a vengeful spirit, as opposed to him being a victim of a lich. I reviewed all these sources and, because the other stories seemed to be watered down versions of what happened in the RPG book, I went with the RPG book. Its the most comprehensive and actually explains why a temple was built at this location. I can't say why the story of this zone has been rewritten so many times, I know there was difficulty in keeping track of the original game history as it was being produced and that likely played a part in the different version that came about. But, I like to think of these inconsistencies as the actual denizens of Norrath coming up with different explanations and speculations of what happened, with some history being inevitably lost to time, as opposed to SonyEQ simply losing their notes. Yes, this has made my job difficult, though rather fun as well. As for there being liches other than Miragul, you are correct that the RPG books say that the method he used was buried with him, however there are apparently other methods in game if not in the books. I believe Rile Sathir is considered a liche, and the undead snakes on the moon of Luclin may also fall into that category as well. There is also a dracoliche in the Plane of Fear who also has a pretty cool story, as well as the one Tserrina raises in the Tower of Frozen Shadow, so in game at least there are plenty of them running around.
@@lorewhoregalore1393 well the backstories of the Estate can be explained with "peoples are telling the stories while each time adding more and more stuff" Regarding Miragul: i would say that Miragul based his work on the one which the Ikzar Lich made and added his own twist

xD just like me. but i bought them last year
Loved the video, probably my favorite zone in all of EQ even to this day. Keep the lore and videos coming :)

Loved it! Keep it up!
Thank you, I shall!
Excellent vid for the season, glad I stumbled upon it after being struck by EQ nostalgia from finding my old Kunark strategy guide.
Awesome, I just stumbled across these EQ lore videos and now I am hooked.
Thank you Zaikyu!

@@lorewhoregalore1393 but of course 🙂
This was so awesome , THANK YOU
You are very welcome!
Really enjoyed your storytelling and editing!
That one was really neat. Love these videos!
Hell yeah! Perfect way to start the week.
Great video LoreWhore! I can't wait for the next one.
Thank you! Thinking about unicorns next, considering one had a pretty significant GM event attached to her.
Wow I love your channel.
Tho not many videos but I subscribed cuz I was addicted to Everquest and wanted to know more of it.
Please keep up the good work!
Thank you, more are in the works! I'm averaging about one video every two months.
@@lorewhoregalore1393 Great. I will be expecting for it 😉👍🏻
Thank you LoreWhore I loved it. Especially the little drawings.
Thank you, that's very kind! Since there are a lot of events and characters that aren't in the game you can expect more scribbles :P

Great info, and love the cartoons.
Thank you, I knew all that doodling would pay off some day!
More please!
More is on the way!
Where do you get your information from? Is there an official lore document somewhere? Very nicely done.
Thank you. The sources I've been using for my videos are a series of dnd like RPG books that were published by Sword & Sorcery/Whitewolf. The information and professional art in this video comes from the book Everquest Realms Of Norrath: Dagnor's Cauldron.

Please make more of these..
Great great work!
damn... lowkey feeling called out as an edgelord. If the shoe fits I guess.
Never realised the manor had a flag.. Or that it bore the crest of Bavaria
Yeeeeah, I don't have a lore explanation for the crest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks for identifying it though!
love you , miss you 😭

Who is the mob at 12:58?
That's actually me! It's a new fangled illusion that necromancer's get when they cast the spell “Dead man floating.”
These are perfect for while playing the game and can’t stand the in game sounds
I LOVE YOUR VOICE!! SO HOT!!
Are you a Dark Elf irl?
great series but disable luclin models
Thank you, I'll look into it, I do miss the old ogre and troll models.
Use whichever models you like. You won't be able to please everyone anyway even if you use correct grammar/spelling/punctuation, etc.
