Veeshan's Peak

Overview

Drawn from The Maps of Myrist zone description.EQ1Primary · official

Veeshan's Peak is located deep in the Skyfire Mountains, containing a network of giant tunnels and caverns built into a long dormant volcano. An inner chamber of magma in this long extinct volcano serves as the meeting place for the Ring of Scale. The council keeps an aloof, watchful eye on the affairs of Kunark using a network of spies comprised of lesser dragons assuming the form of the race they are infiltrating.

Phara-dar, daughter of the mighty Jeled-dar, leads the Ring of Scale. She is often in her lair or in the Great Council Hall preparing for the next meeting. She controls an army of slaves that the lesser dragons have captured from all over Norrath from within her volcanic compound.

The dragons use slave labor to construct new buildings and fill the ranks of their huge protective army. These slaves include workers and soldiers captured in battle upon the primal world, representing all races from halfling to giant. The slaves are magically controlled by their dragon masters.

There are many other lairs spread throughout Veeshan's Peak. Some are occupied by the lesser dragons that serve Phara-dar, while others function as guest rooms when the Ring of Scale conducts its meetings.

When Veeshan's brood was beginning its days on Norrath, the dragons determined, among other things, that the Nest would be the breeding grounds for their kind. It was also where five chosen dragons closest to the pure blood of Veeshan would carry on the Nest for all time and pass down their knowledge.
