    Doing the Erollisi Day quests on Test server, I ended up doing the Shard of Love. In it, you find out she's dead. Go on the Wiki and read about her, and it's the same story. My understanding was the Shard of Love stuff was before PoP and in PoP she's alive, so does anyone know what the story is? Did she come back to life? Was Shard of Love still technically after the PoP timeline even though it came out first? Did it poof and never happen? It's confusing....

    Back when the game launched, the gods had withdrawn their influences from Norrath after adventurers raided their planes, slain their avatars, and attempted to obtain godhood by tampering with the Plane of Time itself. The cataclysms that broke up Norrath happened as a result, and the deities themselves lost contact even with themselves. By the Echoes of Faydwer expansion, most of the deities would reintroduce themselves to Norrath and once again allow themselves to be worshipped.

    Mithanial Marr had no idea what ever had happened to his sister Erollisi in that time. The Shards of Destiny game update in September of 2009 would have adventurers explore into the dilapidated ruins of the Shard of Love, where Mithanial Marr was throwing a grief-induced tantrum over the coffin of his dear sister. How she died remained a mystery, but literally smacking some sense into him gave him the means to finally move on. In the city of New Halas, the God of the Forge, Varig Ro, would commission a statue of Erollisi for her followers to remember her by.

    Come Erollisi Day in 2013, players would be tasked with inspecting the statue and finding a tiny crack in it. Upon further inspection, it would be revealed that Erollisi Marr voluntarily sealed herself up inside that statue in order to contain Ullkorruuk, the Goddess of Betrayal inside with her. In order to prevent Ullkorruuk from fulfilling her own misdeeds of chaos and torment upon Norrath, Erollisi battled with her and sealed both of themselves up inside. Tampering with that statue ended up releasing both of them, for better or worse.

    Ullkorruuk would join with Lanys T'Vyl, Terris Thule, Saryrn, and Sullon Zek in their conquest of the Planes during Planes of Prophecy. After Lanys' resurrection, she would kill her own father Innoruuk. The PoP tradeskill timeline sees Erollisi Marr make the very, VERY hard decision to agree to using her power to restore Innoruuk in order to properly fix the destabilizing gate to the Plane of Time-- something that would have dire consequences if it wasn't fixed. Upon Innoruuk's resurrection, he immediately took his anger and hatred out on Terris Thule, Saryrn, and Ullkorruuk by trapping them in eternal torture in his Plane of Hate. His own daughter would've also been thrown in there as well, had us adventurers not killed her at the end of the PoP adventure storyline. The TS line takes place after the adventure line.
