By: Ry “Roshen” Schueller Our community is well known for showing off their imaginations in game, whether through building incredibly inventive houses or finding unique ways to make their characters stand out in a crowd. SOE Player Spotlight is one place where we showcase the players that make awesome creative contributions to the games they play. This time we’re featuring Beechwoodgrey, an active member of the EverQuest community that submitted “Cazic Thule Café and Deli” to Player Spotlight. We were impressed not just by this player’s “home,” but by the lore that they wrote for the theme of this locale. What was your theme as you designed and decorated your home? I wanted to represent ogres and evil races. Just about all of my other themes lean towards Wood Elves and other good races. The Happy Pirate Water Slide was a goodwill gesture built by ogres, then donated to the lawn gnomes. This is, of course, merely a front for Cazic Thule’s hidden agenda: he is more interested in keeping his Café and Deli stocked with nothing but the freshest meat available. What is your favorite item that you have on display? What makes it special to you? My favorite "item" is actually a collection of items to form a salt water aquarium located in the kitchen area. It was actually a gift from Phinigel Autropos for Cazic's grand opening. How can other players find this home in-game? The Cazic Thule Café and Deli is located in EverQuest on The Rathe server at 110 Brimming Way, Temple Guardianz Village. Beechwoodgrey submitted numerous great screenshots of this home. Here are a couple more that our team really enjoyed: Guess who’s coming to dinner? Of course, it’s Cazic Thule! I’m not quite sure what this “contraption” is used for. We may have to reconsider Cazic’s dinner invitation! We’re always grateful for the contributions and support from our player community!

It's actually the down spout from the trap door that is spring loaded. When the lawn gnome slides down the second slide the mechanism activates opening the hidden door which causes the lawn gnome to fall into the kitchen prep area below. One of the Ak'Anon gnomes, furious over the fact lawn gnomes were nothing more than very sloth like dwarves kindly provided Cazic with the patent in exchange of a never ending supply of beards to be fashioned into toupees for the follicly challenged.
