Update 7: DRACOLICH?

[Boromirs]

"The first angel blew his Trumpet, and with that, hail and fire mixed with blood were dropped on the earth and a third of the earth was burnt up and a third of all trees and every blade of grass was burnt. "

So the one iconic D&D foe thats missing from this game is the mighty dracolich. We all faced one in pnp and really it is probably the most entertaining of all creatures to encounter, because it brings with it it's own plotline just by existing.

So when do you think we can see one? and under what circumstances?

[rimble]

Maybe, thought they talked about it for Update 8 a long time ago, but plans can change.

[DoctorWhofan]

They talked about it for a future update. I don't think 7.

[Kraki]

We should eventually see some type encounter with The Truthful One as an extension of the GH, Reaver's Refuge story line. She's already thrown Sorjek back at us, it should be interesting.

We will eventually fight (meet? Most likely fight) The Truthful One, his story line has been in game since day 1

My guess is update 8, but the dracolich will be in a low level quest where you only get to look at it like in Misery's Peak.

[grodon9999]

Don't be silly, how can they put a Dracolich in a level 5 quest

[FlimsyFirewood]

Oh, heh. Hehehe... Hahahaha! Bwahahahahaha! Ha!

Level 5 quest you say?

This would have been a good plot for epic Vellah, but alas, they just ramped up her stats and called it a night.

As much as it pains me to defend epics, EVon6 is a fricking AWESOME quest.

[ghettoGenius]

Be sure to make it incorporeal so I have some use for my ghost touch rapier of greater dragon bane.

[Borror0]

Oh, heh. Hehehe... Hahahaha! Bwahahahahaha! Ha!

/snicker

Okay. That means it's in a level 6 quest.

[grodon9999]

Show me the money! That's all I have to say.

[SteeleTrueheart]

Nope... a level 3 harbour quest.

[Cyr]

Nope... a level 3 harbour quest.

Yup, with kobold's worshipping it. It's misery's peak all over again except instead of repetitive boring ice climbing it will be sewer diving.

[Gol]

Oh, heh. Hehehe... Hahahaha! Bwahahahahaha! Ha!

Given the track record of the past 3 modules and direction of the game from the producers, we've given up hope on meaningful (aka, non-epic) endgame content.

There's actually already a plotline in ddo that includes a dracolich, we just haven't gotten to that point in the storyline yet.

The plotline I am refering to is the Waterworks>Shan To Kor>Tempest Spine>Vault of Night>Gianthold>Reaver's Refuge

There is evidence that The Truthful One, is behind Sorjek's actions in the Reaver's Refuge. The Truthful One, along with the Ancient Stormreaver, closed off Dal Qour, in doing so, both of their lives were sacrificed. However The Truthful One betrayed the stormreaver at the last moment, using the magics they cast to shut off Dal Quor and destroy the 13th moon of Eberron to become a Dracolich.

In the Reaver's Refuge storyline, The Truthful One made Sorjek into a Lich, and had him gather the six dragon warriors in Stealer of Souls to create an Undead Draconic Army. However Sorjek failed.

What The Truthful One has been up to since is unknown.

There are two major storylines in DDO, the first I mentioned, and the other is the LoTD>Vale>Subterrain>Amarath. Yes, you read that right, the Devils invading Stormreach was the result of the Abbot. At this time I am still unsure of where Demon Sands and The Titan fit, though, the Titan and Inspired Quarter/Dreaming Dark do relate to the Stormreaver/Truthful One Storyline, I cannot figure out where they fit exactly, as while they relate, the events are not as a result of. But then, the storyline isn't a straight line anyway, its more of a web of events leading to each other.

The Truthful One could not have turned Sorjek into a lich if not for us killing him in Tempest Spine, the dragons would not have arrived in stormreach, if not for us killing Velah, the stormreaver would not be in the reaver's refuge if not for us destorying his doomsday device. Additionally, Velah tells us "A terrible Doom is written in Kundarak's Shards", because Velah had already seen what was going to happen to stormreach in the Draconic Prophecy. Yes, Velah knew what would happen to us, and she tried to warn us, but as she said "foolish mortals do you think I sold my freedom for mere greed?" we would not listen to her warnings.

The Truthful One is coming...it's only a matter of time.

Always liked that quest, epic or not. I think it would have been cool to make the epic version a Draco-Lich, similar to the ghost king in Forgotten Realms.

Guess they'll have to add the Wish spell
