They even offer you a sweet looking mount that takes you through the lands at blazing speeds, but I bet it gets poor milage. Yeah. I'm onto you soe....
I'm making up some lore, and publishing it on the Crushbone server. Look for the Origins of the Rime on the broker if you're from Crushbone!
Having just finished all the the Order of Rime quests, they do not reveal the origin of the Order. They simply inform you that Kraytoc Killingfrost is travelling far and wide looking for certain, unamed artifacts of great power. They form a wary alliance with Rile Sathir who wishes to use the Order against his father. Killingfrost believes the item he seeks is locked away in Charasis in the Emperor's Aethenaeum, which none of the Sathir Dynasty- Rile, Ganak, etc.- have been able to crack into, though not for lack of trying. Killingfrost succeeds where the Sathirs have failed, apparently because many of the wards Venril placed upon the vault were to keep his own family out so they could not use what lay within against him.
Has anyone found any lore on the Order of Rime? I finished the quest line for them yesterday and it really didnt explain much about who they are.

Well in that E3 Interview Alan Crosby specifically called the mobs "Ice Giants" which means either 2 things: 1) They are from Halas/Permafrost area (Unlikely cause Permafrost is...still with us lol) 2) They are from Velious. I think the fact that he called the Ice Giants pretty much says that they are from Velious and that is where we are going.
They have blue skin like the ice giants, so "Ice" being such a very broad term doesn't really clarify anything just from that statement, even though it is obvious and he's not trying to hide anything from it.
Not to jump on the bandwagon for Velious <tho I hope it is!!>.... it could be when he is referring to Ice Giants, he is referring to the fact that they are giants and they are on the ice floe. Possible he is saying that...but we cant read too much into it just yet. We will find out this weekend I am sure then we can start speculating in earnest.

Has anyone just spent time with the bard? To see what she says (no you can't hail her) just stand there or sit if you prefer and wait, she'll talk on her own.
Bandorn@Venekor wrote: Oh the irony... So, Now that we know Odus is coming... Any new theories on these guys? Since we still don't know where Odus is or how Halas connects to it?
