Felicite the Necromancer on FV spent some time living in Shar Vahl. She was the daughter of a middle class merchant family in Neriak who used their savings to get my sister Furia into the Temple and myself into the Lodge of the Dead. Because of my merchant background I've always RPed as a centrist, jihad is not good for business, and I was generally live and let live with the "good" races (I do say "generally".. I killed my share of lesser races). And from a young age I spent a lot of time on the Moon, Luclin, because of it's more liberal race relations. In fact Felicite is a Citizen of Shar Vahl, she has sworn fealty to King Raja Kerrath and he welcomed her as a citizen (the note to Registrar Bindarah was tradeable on FV although back then I needed another paid account make the temporary level 1 Var).
Anyway, on topic. I spent a lot of time in Shar Vahl, I used to know it was well as Neriak. So it's fun doing it again with Felicite, a young Var hoping to prove worthy of entry to the Khati Sha. Right now I am still in my 5th season and trying to earn my Khati Sha Recruit Cloak and my first Claws - Jophiel is right, Tailoring is an entirely different activity when your stats aren't capped (much like kicking yourself in the privates over and over). I found this blurb of lore which gave me a framework:
Quote:
The Khati Sha have a mysterious and very spiritual background. Much like their namesake-- the celebrated explorer, the Khati Sha are expected to be able to fill a multifaceted role. They are hunters, explorers, healers, and amazing tailors. The Khati Sha also have a strong affinity to the realm of spirits and choose their members based on their innate ability to bond and communicate with magical creatures called Warders. After some training, the Khati Sha are capable of summoning their Warder to their side, so do not be surprised when you see these creatures roaming the streets.
I love exploring. I expect to stay on Luclin full time (much like Broonsbane I might dip into New Tanaan to buy spells that aren't available on Luclin). Looking at the list of zones (
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/zone.html?zcont=Luclin ), I can't wait.
I've always enjoyed tradeskills (I made Misty Thicket Picnics back in the 'Old' interface), so Tailoring is another great goal. Reading about the DoN cultural gear makes me lust (considering my current rags), but I'm good with the Luclin era gear limit (which DoN Cultural clearly isn't).
Right now I am running with the hired Khala Dun (tank mercenary) but once I master summoning my warder I plan to release him from service (as much as I can).
My play time is limited and sometimes odd (I think I've played an hour so far this week) and I've not run into any members of <Lunar Mutant Rights Now> "in person" (I've seen a few in /who all - but far away and I didn't expect them to trek to Shar Vahl nor was I ready to trek to the far side of Luclin for a guild invite). I hope to cross paths eventually.
