Overview
Drawn from The Maps of Myrist — zone description.EQ1Primary · official
The mighty Storm Giant wizard, Drovrag Velketor, resides in a castle crafted into the side of a glacier. Over the centuries, he has transformed the entrance of his lair into a labyrinth, designed to assure privacy and seclusion.
Drovrag has equipped his incredible masterpiece with kobold guardians bred to be especially brutish. These dog men patrol the outer edges of the labyrinth and live in a primitive town near its center. Grizzot, who is the strongest member of the kobold guardians, serves as their leader.
Beyond the town lies a magically enchanted area of pure blackness, which no vision or light source can penetrate. This area remains uninhabited, as Drovrag's attempts to populate it have all failed. Beyond the blackness lies Drovrag's living ice. Drovrag has managed to breathe life into the ice of the glacier, and the resulting ice golem creations roam the back half of the labyrinth.
Drovrag also utilizes ice golems to guard the front of his castle. The ice golems' barracks make up the outer walls of castle, with the two main barracks flanking the main entrance to Drovrag's lair.
