Third Place: Raediva
Server: Fennin Ro Guild: Leader of Twilight Cascade Raediva's Truth A brief history of Raediva, Champion of Innoruuk: Raediva's family line is a long line of paladins in the service of the Knights of Truth in Freeport. The Shimmersoul dedication to Mithaniel Marr is the most important thing in their lives. As a young girl, though, Rae was jealous of how much of her father's time was consumed in his duties that would keep him away on mysterious missions for weeks on end. One day, she overheard his good friend and Commander, Sir Beldrac, issue her father his "final orders." She begged him not to go, but his honor compelled him to obey and he left never to be heard from again. Raediva spent more and more of her time after that finding comfort in the shadows of the nearby forbidden wood, Nektulos Forest. The dark elves there sensed a deep resentment in her and approached her, nurturing these feelings in her over many years. The Hate in her grew fast, and the Teir'Dal delighted in turning one of Marr's flock to the cause of shadows. She was pronounced a shadow knight of Innoruuk. She spent a couple years exacting vengeance against the "Followers of the Oppressive Light," and in turn was hunted by them, before she found that her war was becoming futile, and that there were so many wrongs in the world that needed righting. She wished to help all the people as a "true" knight would. Raediva has spent many years since starting her career. This movie opens up in the Hall of Truth dungeon: she has been captured by her old friend and perceived arch-enemy, Sir Beldrac himself. She now faces the consequences of her actions and in turn sheds a little light to the Knight of Truth on what she's learned about herself and the world of Norrath. |
| Honorable Mentions We enjoyed viewing all of the videos that everyone submitted; even some of the ones that did not qualify and could not be displayed here. Below are some honorable mentions from the videos that we received. Within the Top 8: While these did not win, they were in the running for placement.
The Rathe This movie shows the memories of a well accomplished monk's start in the vast world of EverQuest. The Movie has scenes of flashes from both the far past, and the extreme present, as well as some footage from EverQuest's hardest zone: Solteris. The music and transactions of scenes are edited in an original and unique way that both entertain, and accurately tell the story of the monk named Zzoouuxx Pie. Nafarax the Bloodwise - The way it was The Tribunal In this video I try to convey the way that it was when I first started playing everquest, and how things change. I try to get back to the way it was before, the anticipation of the unknown. Macbethz the Savior - Fabled Macbethz Maelin Starpyre When a crisis arise in Qeynos only Macbethz the Savior can thwart Mayong's plans. Sainaladanapar Spathaeigni - Sainaladanapar Spathaeigni and the Sword of Flames The Rathe A short film about Sainaladanapar aspiring to be like her hero Edril, and her epic quest to get the holy sword, Soulfire. Aashwinn A` Taladh - Fabled Ambassador Druzzil Ro A foretaste of the Character of Aashwinn A` Taladh of Druzzil Ro. She has a long history with roleplaying, teaching newcomers the lay of the land, buffing for hours while explaining tradeskills and languages to folk - and her ever present looking eye for the beautiful places in Norrath. To show that Norrath isn't just a place - it is worlds within worlds - EverQuest is more than a game - its a lifetime adventure to be shared. I started playing EverQuest August 6, 2003 but Aashwinn wasn't created until march 8 ,2004 - I have played her every day since :) She loves to play games like Marco Polo in Timorous Deep ( if you can Catch her - swimming at 230 ! ) she will hand you gems and plat. Sometimes she plays a giant game of Hide and Seek - follow her clues through MANY Zones ( no using /who all aashwinn! ) and if you can TAG her .. she will give you a prize ( runes for your spells , plat , gems - who knows what trinkets she carries! ) She makes daily trips to Hotzones to offer fresh, free clerical buffs to anyone in the zone - Max Extended buffs mind you - for your fighting pleasure! She takes smaller toons on great adventures to places like ToFS, Crypt of Dalnir , and other out of the way places most folks ignore now - and makes them earn keys - all the while teaching them to work as a team - laugh - and grow as a family of adventurers. She makes sure any time she is in the Guild Lobby to rez up and buff up anyone who may be newly fallen in combat - Norrath cannot have a loss of adventurers! She will join any epic raid - to offer assistance because Clerics are always a need in Norrath. She's led a few wild Epic raids and even managed to tank down the last 2 % of a warrior epic when there was only a ranger, a monk, and herself left standing when all were out of mana :) Good thing she had that clicky stick handy for the Warrior to loot once his steamy carcass was rezzed up! She loves to give hugs, cupcakes, muffins, cookies and kisses to anyone passing by. She hasn't charged or asked for a donation for a rez or buffs in two years - and yet the folks on Druzzil Ro are very kind and very generous when they know help has been freely given - something she tries to never take for granted. She has hotkeys that are whispered about in hushed ( ok .. they get a LOT of laughter ) and reverent tones ( ... Ok as a Cleric I took that whole Vow of Poverty thing - but chastity and humility .. No thanks! ). She has had tanks spit out drinks on the screen with her unexpected heal messages - in 10 languages at present - I like to surprise our multi talented and diverse section of folks on the server. She has been blessed to preside over 25 weddings - and sadly 9 " deaths by retirement " - a tribute to beloved players who have quit - yet she keeps in contact with by email! Over the past three years Aashwinn has remained steadfast, open, and ever learning in the Clerical Arts of Healing and Restoration - but make no mistake, the girl wields a hammer that is pretty fair for DPS. She carries with her a "Toybox of Oddities" filled with all kinds of strange and unsual linkable material - A Sweaty Shirt, A small sack of Ogre baubles (ogres need entertaining!) Whitbys Back Scratcher - a good tank needs a bit of a massage on those down time mana breaks - and of course her Blessings of Reverance - Many whips, chains, handcuffs, silk ropes - and what nots that have been gifts from Friends and Admirers on the server - who have come to know and love Aashwinn and her Flirty Personality. It's a delight to get a bunch of Lady's Mantle or a posey of Frosty Datura as a gift from a kind adventurer - to know the Men of Norrath treat her with respect and the Women as a kindred Friend is a blessing. The best part? Aashwinn is exactly like me in real world - Emerald Rose Patterson- only I think Aashwinn has not a soft Scottish accent like I do :) and she has platinum hair versus my raven black. I always remind folks - Be well - have FUN - and remember be good to each other - Norrath is waiting - and I am off to do what I do best * hugs * I could go on and on - But I think you get the idea - Come visit Aashwinn on Druzzil Ro - get a hug, a buff, a cookie - and get ready for an experience of a lifetime.
The Seventh Hammer Aevax is a cleric who loves to travel, in the span of a single day she explores many many zones and encounters many dangerous creatures. Even in the course of her busy day, she finds time just to admire the view and meet up with her friends. She works hard and is even known as "Fabled Cleric" in her guild. This is a video of a typical day in her life on the world of Norrath. Aevax was created to be played with her best friend in real life, and though that friend has long since passed away, she continues to grow and learn within the lands of EverQuest. She is a brave cleric who is always up for anything, and is willing to help her fellow citizens on Norrath and her friends. She likes to travel from one place to another and explore the different zones along with her "sister," a Wood Elf Rogue named Luliena Silvershield. She has been around since 1999, and has seen many changes pass through the land. She looks at the world around her and hopes to see it grow and prosper for many years to come. Bendain La'Pulier - Fabled Adventurer Diligence, The Seventh Hammer I started as a Dwarf Cleric, Bindain, 8 years ago. I created my monk shortly before the release of Kunark and have played him ever since. I'm proud of what I've been able to accomplish over the years in EQ, but I'm more proud of the reputation I have obtained and the friends I've made in that time. There are more movies that I, and others, have created over the years posted on my guilds web page. The link is at the bottom of the main page. www.diligenceguild.com Chewzok Lonefist - Coalition vs. Rallos Zek The Seventh Hammer This was my first win against Rallos Zek with a group of people on the Seventh Hammer that was known as the Coalition for Planar Progression. We were a bunch from several family guilds that got together and helped each other get through the Planes to the Elementals via pickup raids. This raid was the most special. No one especially in the big guilds, believed we could ever do this. We did not have more people outside the raid to help it was just us. After many many hours, this was what happened on the third try of the night. I think the reason Chewzok is the fabled adventurer is not all seen by this video. At the time of it's creation I was living overseas and had to get up at 1am to raid. I did this nearly everyday from PoP until almost to Anguish. I worked incredible hard at getting through all of that and put more effort than most who are in much higher guilds. Enokhaon the Mighty - Enokhaon the Mighty Sigils, The Nameless A heroic conquest of the ultimate evil plaguing Norrath. The story is told visually, with little spoken dialogue. His most prized possession is his blade, the Sarnak Liberator; it's seen constant use since the early Kunark era and only death can temporarily remove it from his hand. Clad in iron, he throws fire to vanquish his foes and to shield his friends. Flippety - Death and Judgment Bristlebane The last minutes of Flippety's life as he is judged by his god. A film encompassing most of more famous boss mobs from EverQuest along with a screenshot of Flippety dead in 100% of all non-instances zones in EverQuest. (Excluding Buried Sea) Born on the bad side of Gukta Flippety grew up hard... fast and mean. You had to, to stay alive in those days. The trolls had only that very week been evicted and the rightful home to the Guktans returned. Born to Srekta Froreki, a mighty Vis shaman and humble artisan, Flippety leaned the shamanic ways early in life, and while it was ingrained into him by his mother that nature and life should be sanctified and cherished, all he wanted all he desired, was, risk, reward... and adventure. These things he got... in droves. Pushing through the planes and joining forces with others of like thinking he mowed onward through the pains of battle till there was nothing left to see... till there was nothing left to draw the final breath from... till heaven was the last place yet to visit. Today new lands have opened to Flippety and his life now has new meaning... there are places yet to see, and things yet to defeat... the afterlife will have to wait a little while longer. Gelvelik - A Tale of a Ranger Firestormers, Povar A ranger, the only thing you need to know. Hellbent Destruction - Hellbent's Fable Tunare The explanation of the most evil force in Norrath, depicting the cruelty dealt to him and the vengeance hellbent took upon the world. Pain, Death, Deceit and Vengeance incarnate, everything a shadow knight should be. Jyve - Minotaur Antonius Bayle After becoming enraged with madness, a powerfull magic infused this poor helpless bard, creating a monster. No one was safe from the unstoppable force. A 35ft tall Minotaur with a penchant for drums and bass; this bard is his own Horns section. Kitanoz - Kitanoz - Champion of the Glade Final Horizon, Stromm A story about the history of one of Povar/Stromm's most adventurous druid. Kitanoz, born on Povar, has seen many many seasons in Norrath, with his experience ranging from PoP all the way to TBS, He moved to Stromm, after a guild collapse, and continues to adventure with Final Horizon, Although Kit has only been around since PoP, I've been actively playing since Kunark, and still love it as much now as I did when I started. Kyure - A Segment of Kyure's Travels - Hate's Fury The Combine As Kyure has been progressing on the Combine, I have been creating event cards of many places she has traveled. The introduction to Kyure shows you where she has gone as well as the last screen ensuring you that her adventures will continue. I have featured one of Kyure's most recent adventures to Hate's Fury. You are taken through the events as they occurred while making her way to the ship and finally meeting up with Captain Krasnok. ~Need a kyure?~ Kyure was born a Cleric on the Combine in July of 2006, it was soon to be discovered that she would need to be a battle cleric (Paladin) to be of most use to her friends and guildmates. Kyure has been involved with more quests then she could even imagine and is always willing to lend a hand without expecting anything in return. You will see Kyure vacationing on other servers, but she has been quite happy playing on the Combine. Morituus - Contest Thing Saryrn Likes to go streaking in random places carrying only his hammer. Created the patented Morituus Crotch Dance and almost got banned for using it on a female GM. Has 3 other wizards on the Saryrn server named after him, created by in-game friends - Morituss, Morittus, and Minimorit. Has a small following nicknamed the "Morituus Girls", comprised of several rl female eq gamers and "the twins", Mandi and Candi (2 high elf npc's at the entrance of the temple of solusek ro, who I've never seen up again since I took that screenshot... it's always 2 guys now). Questos Ravenbrew - EverQuestos - The Camping Druzzil Ro The story is about my Vah shir, Questos camping for the Fabled Boots Of Shadow Walking (if you didn't know its a clicky that shadow steps you randomly, great for arena fights). The story shows what Oomgado does instead of spawning, but I won't give you the details and I hope you enjoy it. Well it all started almost 5 years ago. My Girlfriend at the time (Now she is my soulmate and wife) started playing EverQuest. I really didn't get into it at first, looked very confusing but I wanted to play with her since she stayed up all hours playing EQ and talking to the monitor about trains and getting lost. She plays a Magician named Fenelari (still does to this day too) and over the months of me jumping classes I had finally chosen my Toon, Questos. We both played on Kane Bayle, It was a lot of fun because we started just before POP came out and we learned the old way of traveling and hunting, Good times. When People started leaving EverQuest and then we had that server merger, we hopped around servers till we found our new home on Druzzil Ro. After we moved states in real life, we joined Imperial Guards, our first solid raiding guild on Druzzil Ro. Many good times in IG and many more to come! I love having and using clickies and i also love seeing my ever growing /key collection. I also wear plate graphics on my Shaman (except the chest), my wife and I like to try and look different than the other players (She wears a tunic graphic on her High Elf Mage) just to stand out a little bit. Senaca - EverQuest - Priceless Prexus Senaca Souldestroyer's costs of being able to solo deities and lead armies into battle. Swampfunk the Library Preserver - Swampfunk's Fabled Adventure Part 1 Maelin Starpyre Swampfunk's Fabled Adventure is a goofy romp from the point of view of the most beloved troll, Swampfunk! I guess I really do not know what to say. Swampfunk is a troll, but why should he be crowned "The Fabled Adventurer"? After much thought, I decided that I should just say that I wanted the video to show three things: Swampfunk is a funny character (Swampfunk truly is a character!), Swampfunk is an offensive master (see golem parse), and finally, Swampfunk has adventured and defeated all that EverQuest offers (see kill shots). But how does a troll tell a fabled tale? Trolls are only concerned with battle, loot, and food! Swampfunk truly is a troll, a strong community member, and a knowledgeable player, does that make him a fabled adventurer? Tnexus Fyrewolf - Tnexus Fyrewolf, the Fabled Adventurer Prexus |
