I remember the great hate and jealousy the SK's riled up on the boards because their weapon , the Dark Reaver, sucked compared to Ghoulbane.

I liked my ranger epic, looked cool. Even once you got better weapons the atk on the swiftwind was a nice bump and the proc of slow on the earthcaller was handy while in a group or soloing.

This is always a confusing point to me. How the fuck did GFAY organically become the trading spot? EC is logical. You had Freeport right there and evils could go to Neriak or sneakity sneak through the Freeport tunnels to do what they needed to do.

North Freeport/EC made sense. But on Solusek Ro it was hold my beer time... lol still baffles me.
Yeah and the bigger races always had problems fitting in the fucking hut to bank. And if one aggroed the banker, it was thumb twiddling time.

My Ranger alt had Swiftwind for ages before I finally took my necro alt to PoH to farm for a stone. That was interesting, mini bosses were soloable with good twink equip at level... 65 or something. Got one, relogged to the ranger, got my Earthcaller.

Character is gone though -.-

Did the banker hut just happen not to have any guards near it?

Well it has been some time. I think he also didn't work properly when moved off his spot. So he'd chase the poor fella out and hang around "out of order".

fiery avenger/defender are both cool as fuck

I always liked the simplicity of the rogue epic, since every other dagger to that point looked like a piece of shit shrimp skewer lol

I don't think anyone forgets the first time they saw the SoulFire. I know I didn't. God damn that was cool as fuck. Came up on some dude on my cleric in Nektulos Forest when I was like level 34 or something and this high elf paladin runs past me with a blazing sword. He was level 45 too at the time. This was really early in the game and he for sure had one of the first ones on our server.

Oddly enough after 20+ years I remember the name of the character who got the first epic. Paladin and I think his name was Musk. Odd things you remember, maybe it was Elon Musk lol.

"The Fiery Avenger"

The afternoon sky above Freeport suddenly erupted, as the once calm skies gave way
to a horrific spectacle.

There above, the heavens burned with magnificent fury, transforming the peaceful blue skies to a hellish crimson flame! The citizens of Freeport hustled about in a panicked frenzy, dashing for cover from the unknown force was causing the phenomenon.

Screams could be heard that Cazic Thule had emerged from his abysmal home to wreak havoc upon Norrath, while others believed they were witnessing the true hatred of Innoruk. Mothers grabbed their children, men drew forth their swords, and wizards began chanting spells of protection, in preparation of whatever horror was to come.

Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, the fires above vanished.
The faint smell of sulfur remained in the air, and every being in Norrath lay still from shock, wondering what had caused the sudden blaze.

Minutes went by and not a soul spoke nor moved. Perhaps afraid, perhaps muted by sheer shock, they simply looked about, anticipating another eruption.


"LOOK!" shouted a man, breaking the silence.

He pointed in the direction of the Temple of Marr, where a thin column of pure white light could be seen stretching from as high as the eye could see! The light remained for several moments, and then quickly vanished with a crackling boom.

It was then, he arrived.

A brilliant blue figure stood before the Temple of Marr at the very spot where the light had touched the ground. His face glowed with a glorious aura, and his armor resounded with magical power.

And there, in his hand, was a sword whose flames dwarfed even that of the Soulfire.


"It is the paladin Musk!" yelled someone in the crowd.

"He has returned from the Plane of Sky!" hailed another.

Indeed, Musk had returned.
Back from his long quest in the heavens, Musk had returned to his home in Freeport.
This, however, was no ordinary homecoming. He returned with the sword whispered in the legends of old. Many believed it did not exist. Many cursed it a hoax.
But alas, Musk had returned to Norrath to prove them all wrong.

Musk had returned with the
Fiery Avenger.

"ALL HAIL MUSK! CHAMPION OF THE PLANES!"
"ALL HAIL MUSK! GUARDIAN OF MEN!"
"HAIL MUSK! CHAMPION OF THE FIERY AVENGER!"


The crowd erupted in a frenzy of cheers and fists raised high in the air! Women cheered, holding their children above their head so they could glimpse the glorious paladin. Guards sheathed their swords and hailed Norrath's new champion.

And fellow paladins broke down in tears, filled with emotion and pride,
for at last one of their brothers had returned grace to their name.

Be it known, that on this day, Musk had returned to the mortal men in Norrath,
not as an equal, but as a
Legend.

He is the greatest paladin to grace the lands of Norrath.

He is
Musk, Champion of the Heavens.

Musk, the first champion of the Fiery Avenger is a proud member of the Celestial Crusade,
and lives on the Tunare server

e Great Wanderer"

Like the whispering winds that glide across the world, he travels the great vasts of Norrath to bring the breath of life. Where he walks, plants and animals alike, once dried and decaying from death, spring to life at the command of his mere presence.
Ballinor Irrybis, born not of mortal men but of the essence of Norrath, has walked upon the grounds of this world since the beginning of time. He wanders from the great tundra of Everfrost, to the desolate deserts of the Dreadlands, and where he goes, the pulse of Norrath beats with revitalized spirits.
Across the oceans and beyond the winds,
the heart of Norrath beats in unison with his gentle steps.
With a wave of his hand and the wind of his breath,
life is restored to the unliving.
He is the treasured spirit of the living.
He is Ballinor Irrybis, the Great Wanderer of Norrath.

"Handolmer Fist, Champion of Butcherblock"

In a daily war against the gods of Hate, he enters the abysmal domain of Innoruk in a fight for balance in Norrath. He comes to pray over his fallen brothers, to bring life unto the souls who are trapped within the walls of the vast plane.
He has come each day since the beckoning from his lord Rodcet Nife, to stare death in its eyes, to battle the fear that alone has cast many asunder. And in his hand he wields the Hammer of Butcherblock, an instrument of life and destruction that Handolmer swings in the name of glory - for his brothers... for his people of Norrath.
A figment of untouchable greatness,
Norrath knows his name as it is sung in the tales of legends.
He grants life to the souls of the fallen,
And battles that which cannot be seen by mortals.
His name shall be known as long as the great winds blow
through the great valleys of Norrath.
He is the Great Handolmer Fist,
Champion of Butcherblock

Handolmer Fist resides on the Tunare server,
and is the legendary champion of the Butcherblock Hammer.

Brain still remembers a few things I guess. I don't know why I remember Musk getting his epic. I remember them saying it was all finished and in game. Then magically on patch day he finished it.
