Everquest Lore: The Hole (Old Paineel)

[@Billabee]

We miss your lore terribly. But if you have been ported out of Norrath for awhile by an angry druid, then your lore-seekers hope the best for you, happiness and cheer in wherever you currently wander the lands, LoreWhore of Antonica 🎃🎃

As a lvl 15 pally I once fell into the hole. I thought my corpse was lost permanently, and almost quit the game. Lucky for me a level 60 (max lvl at the time) necro traveled across the world to help me out. Not only did they summon my corpse, but also gave me a sarnak battle shield and a sword of the morning. A great EQ memory. Love your videos btw!

[@lorewhoregalore1393]

I love stories like this, thank you for sharing!

I traveled my Dwarf all the way to the Commonlands, level 5. I died after that incredible solo journey on my first day. I came back again. I asked for help and a necromancer told me she would find my corpse. I looted it, logged off and never went back. I was from then on a Dark Elf Necromancer.

The day The Hole was released it was a total surprise to me. I came home from school and saw the game patching. I was super excited, and got my levitate and I flew down into the Hole completely oblivious to the fact that I would lose my levitate upon entering the zone and fall to my death. So what did I do? I tricked all of my friends into meeting a similar fate so they would be forced to help me get my corpse. They were pretty mad.

Hello my fellow Norrathians, I hope y'all are having a good whatever your celebrating! I've officially moved and am working on finishing the video I had planned for October. I wasn't planning on going this long without a video but it allowed me to take a breather and sort out some things. Look forward to getting a lovely tale on the Drachnid within the next month! It's fall yall! Just wanted to give an update, I'm moving this month but I will try to get a short October video out. After October I anticipate going back to my regular upload schedule and maybe even a little faster since I'll have a better area to record in. To make it up for the wait, after the next video I'll start working on a story about that tart Firiona Vie.

[@jroden06]

I love it!! Looking forward to your Firiona Vie video! Let me know if you ever want to chatter Iksar lore! -Xulia Spirestone, Project 1999 Blue

Sounds interesting have you heard of the lore on Khati Sha The Twisted

[@lorewhoregalore1393]

@@thedragonboss109 Yup! I've been starting with older lore first since newer releases are better preserved but Luclin is just full of amazing stories like his.

[@IonBlaze1]

Amazing job. That broll was top notch

[@lorewhoregalore1393]

Thank you, and now I know what a broll is :D

[@shivur5073]

Dang ion I've been watching you for years how come you never mentioned this Gem of a content creator in you're videos ):

[@zalxder]

The Hole was one of those mythical zones of legend back in the day I never got to see until playing two decades later on P99, pretty cool spot and definitely evokes the EQ nostalgia of fear of dying the way people keep their cleric druid and wizzy alts camped out at the docks group because people are always stuck down there needing ports to get out

[@ladyabaxa]

I think the real question is: Why the hell does Brell Serillis have a huge horde in his domain ready to invade Norrath at any moment? You just can't trust a god who wears a lit candelabra on his head all the time. That screams "I have more than a few screws loose". A barrier of living stone to protect his kingdom? More like a barrier to keep the bloodthirsty maniac and his even more unhinged creations contained.

[@CazRaX]

He lives underground, what creature on any planet is sane that lives underground?

[@lorewhoregalore1393]

Great observation! Brell's certainly a curious god, and something of a dead beat dad to the way too many races he's created.

[@Chardor]

Really liking your content. i was too young at a time to get most EQ lore, this shti is comfy

[@dlbake9863]

These are the best EQ videos ever, the drawings just make it way more enjoyable

[@PerryLovewhistle]

The Hole ties together some of my favorite EQ lores. Thank you for this awesome video.

[@BraveAbandon]

Hell to the yes! Your other videos were an instant fav & subscribe so im very happy you're still making them!

[@username12120]

Woooo! New video! Glad to see you're still at it.

[@BringMaCKtoLife]

Your channel makes it possible for me to sink into a deep, amazing part of my brains thoughts and memories

[@tdfshoutcasts]

Easily my favorite zone in all of EQ. Loved the video. I'm sure you moved on to other things, but I hope to see more like this one day...

[@Morraak]

Yay! I was wondering when a new video was going to come out. Awesome zone!

[@ClassicEverQuest]

Today is a good day. Always look forward to the next installment!

So many hours played and Ive paid almost no attention to lore. This channel seems cool, I'm driving in

[@atnasingetnamn2887]

A new video, I can't believe it! I love these, they've got such a unique tone and atmosphere.

[@michaelpants]

BEST EQ lore vids

[@KayossSZ]

Did elementals invade Qeynos at some point? I honestly did not know that. Great video! The various drawings are cute, and I like the epic art you included. Kinda feel bad as earlier I thought about this channel (and plugged it on a thread on the p99 subreddit) and didn't see this video until now. Alas I was never notified.

[@shivur5073]

I once got a player suspended in the hole. It was on cornaiv TLP. 6 mage boxer who was trying to take every single camp he could, his plan was to train the camps until people left but i took ample screenshots of all the tells he sent me and everytime he trainrd my group. Daybreak came through with a response email telling me he was suspended it was an awesome memory

[@eGnasty]

Finally! A new video!

[@daidracofosgate518]

As always, great video! Can you do Tower of Frozen Shadows next? Velks Lab? Just like anything SoV really ;D

[@lorewhoregalore1393]

The next video has a smidge of Velious in it! I actually wanted to do TOFS for awhile but I keep finding more stories that tie into it, so it needs a bit more research before I can go over it, rest assured its a place I visit frequently.

[@woodstock37-]

yeah :) more lore for me Everquest D20 campaign. Also *facepalm* the first picture you have shown is from the Players handbook of the D20 Everquest RPG...and ALL the time i thought "ok must be a gnome mage"... and now lookign at the other picture from Erud (which is i think in the GM Book ... which i also read) .. yeah... ok... it was an Erudit all along

[@thoth47]

Psst, hey kid, wanna buy some necromancy?

[@Orsuss]

I was always wondering what that kind of zone is. Back in my days we had make a raid with a partner-guild and I remember we struggle at the entrance 'cause nobody had the key to open this rock thingy. (It was the time where already Planes of Power was out.) But you was able to glitch through it. I had to check out where to buy that key.. and I stopped playing already years ago.. uh however really great designed zone and even now with the lore: wow! I did not expect that people make so much effort. Oh.. and I remember I had to go down for a part of my enchanter epic. Ah.. good old times.

[@RichardEKranz]

Damn, are all the drawings original or some from EQ production? I was on this channel by Y T blocked me. SO im back. Good to see this video.. I was just in The Hole its a really cool looking zone.

[@lorewhoregalore1393]

All the professional drawings in this video are from the EQ RPG books, the EQ comic books and the gnome at the end is from the EQ card game. All the scribbles are from me :P
