My only problem with it is how did it end up in Antonica? It was in West Commonlands before. I mean, Stormhold IS the remains of Befallen right? Granted, more of it is uncovered now. |
Stormhold isn't Befallen.
Befallen was the unearthed ruins of a structure known as 'The Temple of Light'. It was built 500 years before the timeframe of EQ1 by a cult of Marr. In EQOA (the PS2 version of EQ, set 1000 years prior to EQ2) it was up and running and was populated by the cult, made up mostly of paladins if I remember correctly. This probably explains why many mobs in Befallen in EQ1 are Shadowknights.
I'm guessing Stormhold, while obviously not the Temple of Light, was built by the same cult of Marr, hence all the Valor/Virtue references in the zone. Temples/places of worship can have roughly similar layouts depending on the group who builds them (modern day Catholic Churches for example). My guess is that 1000 years before EQ2, twin Temples to Marr were built by said cult. One was unearthed 500 years later during EQ1 (Befallen) and one was unearther during the shattering and is known as Stormhold in EQ2.
Or... they fucked up Qeynos vs. Freeport dungeon level progression balance and moved Befallen to Antonica *shrug*.
