Everquest Lore: Veksar and the Lake of Ill Omen

- Hello my fellow Norrathians and welcome to the coziest spot on Kunark! There are some places where you can only find the lore through quests that NPC's give, and Veksar is no exception, if you've ever wondered what a dragon's ghost is doing at the bottom of a lake then I've got a story for you!
Veksar was always a very cool zone for me, even though it's one of the newer dungeons (releasing in Legends of Ykesha) the atmosphere of the place is incredible. Getting all of Garudon's bones took about 8 straight hours of camping, while the book took about 3, I didn't notice the first time that it was temporary (vanishes upon logout), but nothing, nothing gave me as much trouble as the sharks and the boats. The pathing for water in EQ was always interesting but my Innoruuk, even trying to get them to swim in a straight line was a battle for the ages! And hey, some of the pre-Luclin models are back! I forgot just how ugly the Ogre models were.
On a side note I would like to thank all 268 subscribers and anyone else who stopped in to watch. Should I do more Iksar lore? I kinda wanna do more Iksar lore. I know things are crazy out there right now so stay safe, stay sane, and I'll see you all next time!

Surprisingly , there aren't many videos on EQ lore like this. I love it!
That is exactly why I started making them, I'm glad you're enjoying them!
this was cool af. didn't know all that about dragons creating the lake. thx 4 making
And thank you for watching :)
This is awesome! Adorable, funny, a little creepy, and there's LORE!! I've been looking for something like this for forever!
I think that perfectly describes my little channel! Glad you enjoy it :D
You still play? TLP? I'd love to see some luclin lore videos even though luclin was goofy.
Lot of my friends watch your stuff. Keep it up. Love to learn about the lore of this world I love.
Well that just warms my shriveled little heart, thank you and more are certainly on the way.
Miss your videos, love them!
I really like your videos. I'm at Veskar right now.
EQ: the illustrated storybook. Tell us a story, LoreWhore!
I had no idea there was such cool stuff in Veksar, no one ever went there that i can recall , but I'll fire it up in the emu
Great video, really like the music, sound effects, voice, and pictures.
Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
This was fantastic. I love the way you tell the story as well as your humorous side with that channel name! A+ effort and a great voice for storytelling.
Found your channel today, watched all your lore videos, now I'm craving for more
Welcome aboard! And now I'm craving bacon so we're even
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for making this!
Thank you, that is very kind!
Went here with my druid on FV, never knew the history...Might come back as part of my "old zones" series that I'll be putting up next year.
I guess I called it Lake of the third Omen my entire formative years. I always wondered what the first and second Omen were now I guess I know.
Don't suppose I could request something on the topic of the birth of the Sarnaks, and how it ended up in a conflict between them and the iksars?
I'm already working on Dozekar the Cursed for the next video and then maybe Torsis for Halloween, so until I can get around to making a video on them here is a summary of their origins and the bad blood between them and the Iksar.
The Sarnak race was created by Atrebe Sathir, son of Rile Sathir, third Emperor of the Sebilisian Empire. He created the Sarnak by magically combining dragons and Iksar into one being. He also combined dragons and frogloks to create the flying mounts Sokokar which gave the Iksar an air force that proved to be a great bane to the dragons. It's suspected that Atrebe was taught this method by the vampire Chosooth, but this is uncertain because I can't find anything else about Chosooth, not even his race.
The Sarnak proved to be an amazing force, tough, fiercely intelligent and with an apt for magic they served the Iksar in battle against the dragons and helped keep control over Froglok and Giant slaves. But, as the Sebilisan Empire began to fall apart during the last decade or so of the war against the Ring of Scale, starving Frogloks and Giants slaves revolted and the Sarnak were not far behind. More then a few Sarnak feasted on their former masters before they fled from the ruined cities into the Burning woods where they decided that they would become their own masters.
From there they seem to have split into three factions, the Brood of Di'zok, which is the faction under Overking Bathezid in Chardok, the Sarnak Collective and the Thrall of Kly.
These three Sarnak factions aren't really opposed to each other. The Sarnak Collective just doesn't bow to Overking Bathezid, but mostly they avoid stepping on each others toes, and the Kly mostly stay in the Crypt of Dalnir. The Sarnak will work with the dragons and goblins when they please, even though they see ever other race as inferior, mostly to stick it to the Iksar.
That's almost everything I know about them as a race. I still can't find anything more on Xalgoz, the apparently only Sarnak vampire in existence, but perhaps one day!
Great video
One thing that puzzles me is that undead inhabitants of Veksar look very different from normal Iksar - even if they are undead. Body feature and head shape are different. Veksarians look more like Dragon-kin than Iksar. As a matter of fact they more resemble Sarnaks than Iksars.
🤤🤤
:)
These are great videos. I didnt know almost none of all these lore info. Thanks and keep em comin. Subbed.
Thank you for the watch and the sub! More videos are on the way.
you and Michael's shenanigans should do a collation
As fun as it would be I'm not sure I would survive the sheer insanity of his editing skills. They are the stuff of legend.
@@lorewhoregalore1393 true.. but the callab would be even legendaaryer.. I think that's a word
*pulls up a crumbling piece of Iksar Legacy*
Good content! Subbed!
Thank you!
DAMN does Daybreak sell Breast Enhancements in the Cash Shop now?
heh desperate to keep the lifesupport of a dying game goin
lolol seriously. I do not remember those models having those triple D's. p99 is the only real EQ left
I need more lore please and thank YOU
Indeed! I was finally able to get the footage I needed of Dozekar today. I plan for his video to be up this week, next week at the latest.
anyone know when veksar is coming to p99?
these videos are great! keep them coming please!
Thank you, more stuff is in the works!
The Caribbean music was a great touch
Just because we're talking about a sunken city filled with undead doesn't meant we can't have fun in the sun!
Another video! Excellent! I desperately needed something to entertain me. Doing something exquisitely boring right now xD
I hope it made the task a bit less tedious!
Definitely. Always looking forwards to your videos. Always loved EQ lore, but never really was even halfway competent at acquiring it myself. So this channel is a true gift.
@@milat9287 EQ dosen't make it easy! Some lore can only be found in out of print RPG books, item descriptions or quests that are broken now. It seems like some answers were never actually put into the game (who's brain is in the jar in the Tower of Frozen Shadow? Who created the Sarnak vampire Xalgoz?) so even if your looking for a particular answer you may never find it. It sure is fun to look though!
really good! sharing!
Thanks, greatly appreciated!
Good stuff
2:05 lvl 100 sneak!
Love this ❤😊
Great work!
More please !
Great video! I've always wanted to go to this zone but never have. One day...
Is this your art? lol
Yup! I wouldn't call it art but all those doodles are mine. The undead iksar was concept art I found is by Ronnie Ashlock and the awesome undead Trakanon drawing is from EQ's official website.
