As long as the next expansion doesn't have any god damn aliens, I"m cool with it.

Aliens never bugged me, it was the shitty way it was done. Think GU had a comic where it pointed out all the mobs in GoD were all the same emo theme.

My concerns are no solo quest crap like RoK and having contested dungeons be worth going into.

Who was Sontalak?

Well, in EQ1 there was lowbie paladin armor called "Sentinel" armor. It was a solo questline from the deepwater knight (paladin) guildhall in Erudin. There was also a splo quest for a 2H "sentinel" weapon as well.

I always kinda wondered how the heck the deepwater knights in crucible got there. Perhaps there's some connection between the deepwater knights and the former inhabitants of Velious now that its melted. I just hope it isn't a "waterworld" style adaptation of Velious, that would suck.

Aren't all the Everfrost instances just aspects of Miragul's mind?

Guardian of Temple of Veeshan if memory serves and all around bad mofo.

So where was the temple of veeshan? We have Veeshan's Peak in RoK, but is it unrelated to the Temple of Veeshan? What role did he serve in the lore of EQ1?

I had a feeling all the rumors of Odus might have been false leads. Like they were trying to sneak us into thinking one direction while planning something else.

A Velious expansion has serious potential, but lets hope it can live up to the expectations that come with it.

Temple of Veeshan was the zone that housed one of the 3 factions in Velious. Specifically, the dragon faction. Sontalek was one of the guardians of the temple, and was involved in the Sleeper's key quest.

From what I hazily remember though, Sontalek was not a major player in ToV. Can anyone remember any significant lore attached to him?

At this point I'm more inclined to edge towards Odus because of the phrase "Sentinel" is a reoccuring theme/title among Erudite Paladins.

Althought its very likely they are trying to combine both aspects. /sigh. Maybe the last remaining chunks of Velious collide with Odus or something.
