The Hole

The great city of Paineel was created to serve as a refuge and home base for us, the Cazicites. We, the practi- tioners of the dark arts, who were so wrongfully and uncere- moniously ejected from our homeland of Erudin, founded the city in the great hole blasted from the ground during the civil war.

…Ognit began, "Well, we were all down in the ruins of Old Paineel. In the Hole. And you remember that Wall of Living Flesh that is way down there? Looks like a big face, you know?" Al`Kabor balled his fists at his side. "Fool. Tell me that you were not meddling with The Wall!" Ognit smiled sheepishly and continued, "Well yes. Actually I was to tell you the tru…

…Dagda Icefury had spent the last several days spelunking in the Hole and the ruins of the old city of Paineel. The ruins were an eerie, dusty and dark place. Strange and terrifying sounds echoed throughout the once splendorous city, like wails of torment from souls suffering in eternal agony.

Dagda wiped her eyes and brought herself up to her full height. She asked Al'Kabor, "Who is this Dartain?" Al'Kabor answered, "Dartain is one of the heretics. A heretic of old. He was among those that put The Hatch in place to repair the Wall of Living Stone.

Finally after months of research I have come to the conclusion that the wall placed deep in our home was brought to life by the touch of Brell. My studies have led to proof that this is indeed the door to the Underfoot and as such I have began to figure out ways to extract and harness this power.

This power has taken over. I did not expect it to be so hard to control. Now every piece of stone I see talks to me. While the others see lifeless slabs of stone, I see living entities begging to be released.

Greetings! For our third and last Road to Underfoot event, protect Norrath and quell the threat of invading Cliknar soldiers with Breaking the Seal! Many remember the tale of Ognit Eznertob and his friends when they discovered the Wall of Living Stone in the ruins of Old Paineel.

…Buried deep into the sides of The Hole, the dark city of Paineel is seldom visited by outsiders. Most die on the journey down before ever seeing the black spires of the stone that marks the entrance to the city; either from being attacked due to mistrust or from the fall into the pit known as The Hole due to not watching their step.

…This form of earthen ore is one of the hardest substances currently existing on Norrath and is the source of the earthen golems and elementals who lurk in the Hole. Fusible Igneous Ore: I spent many months researching upon the continent of Kunark. I came across a unique form of lava in the Skyfire Mountains.

…Brell's handiwork is believed to be responsible for the ruination of our former city in the cliff walls of the Hole. The living rock dis- covered in the area of the blast which loosed the hordes of deathbringers upon us bears magical energies consistent with his powers.

…The Vah Shir were the nobles of kerran society prior to the war between the Heretics and the Erudites. During this war, they were caught in a blast of experimental magic that resulted in the creation of what is now known as The Hole. Due to their spiritual nature, the kerran nobility enjoyed some protection against the strong and violent magic.

You say, 'Hail, Coriante Verisue' Coriante Verisue says 'Greetings, young one! There are many tasks to be performed aside from your studies to truly harness the powers passed down to us by our ancestor [Miragul]. The most basic of these tasks is the gathering of bat wings and snake fangs from the yard outside our city.
