Why are you looking for the epic quest NPC before Kunark? https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Progression_Servers#What_expansion_do_we_get_this? https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wi...akwynd#Speculated_Unlock_Dates_for_Expansions
Konia Swiftfoot was in game before the latest maintenance. Many OTHER epic npcs are still in game. If there was a change to remove her, why just her? Why not just announce it? Or, if it is a bug, then correct it.
I don't recall Konia ever spawning before Kunark launched, she certainly didn't on Aradune. Most of the other NPCs for Bard epic are there, but not this one.
