Anything and everything you could possibly want to know about EQ2 lore, rests in the mind of this singular red name. Every now and again, he descends from the heavens to bestow upon us a small bit of his knowledge.

First we have a very nice post on the Dismal Rage:

The Dismal Rage is an amalgamation of some of the darker religions of Norrath. It was not always this way. In the beginning, The Dismal Rage was comprised of disciples of hate. They were instrumental in the rise of Sir Lucan as supreme commander of Freeport. Unfortunately for them, Sir Lucan was not so appreciative. Sir Lucan rid Freeport, and Norrath, of most of the disciples of the Dismal Rage and destroyed their secret temple.

Then we have another (he was generous today!) about Varsoon:

Lord Valdoartus Varsoon has been around since the Combine Era. He exists only because he was cursed by his undying thirst of arcane knowledge, as so many mad mages are. He is a prime example of the saying, "Be careful what you wish for. It might just come true."

Be sure to stop by the EverQuest II forums to read both of his insightful posts!
