In the Tower of Frozen Shadow: Part of the fifth encounter within the Tower of Frozen Shadow anniversary raid (see this quest entry for raid information).

In Karnor's Castle:

The Main items in his loot table are the Leggings for the various Kunark Class specific armor, as well as a line of two handed blunt staves for casters.

  • Mesmerizable: No

Background: Venril Sathir was the leader of the Iksar Empire who united the five tribes and brought them together to conquer most of the continent of Kunark.

Their rising power eventually attracted the attention of the Lords of the Ring of Scale (read: the Dragons of Veeshan's Peak). It was the mighty Trakanon who took it upon himself to wreak war upon the Iksar Empire, casting down this Necromancer leader.

Venril Sathir managed to cheat death somehow and now focuses on regaining the Iksar throne from his stronghold in Karnor's Castle.

About how many Hit Points does this bugger have? Does anybody know what he hits for and what his weaknesses are? I'd appreciate any help I can get.

I did my first VS raid the other night and wanted to impart some information for my fellow Rogues out there.

VS does see through Hide/Sneak so stay back when doing CR.

I did not find any other creatures that see through our H/S between his lair and the exit.

The locked door in the 3 story room outside his lair can be picked with a 200 skill so sub-51 Rogues can aid in CR.

Just wanted to share this with those that might need the information...
VS never fought..

VS never fought the ring of scale his great- grandson Ganak did. this is according to the booklet that comes with kunark also it says there where a race of froglok dragons called The sokokar i wish vernat would have made this things they sound cool. I just wanted to say that cause the everlore here is wrong.
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 21 2001 at 11:49 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) First of all, if you don't like your class its your own fault. You can go ahead and pick another class. There is no way I can solo for exp at all. In fact I have a hard time camping something 20 levels lower than me. Look at it this way.
plot hole?

Big Verant Plot Hole,

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this but it has been in my brain for the last couple of weeks. Venril Sathir was the old leader of the Iksar, The dragons whupped his @ss, now he's pissed at the dragons AND the Iksar??? Wouldn't it make sense for all Iksar to start with GOOD Venril Sathir faction? I mean, we ARE his people and he IS trying to regain the throne and all. I think thet the people at Verant who think up the faction listings should be drawn, Quartered and then shot...

Ah but you see, among evils, failure is unforgiveable. Venril showed his weakness by being cast down by the dragons...also it was he who attracted the attention of the dragons in the first place no doubt much to the demise of many Iksar. So if I were an Iksar I would be rather displeased at Venril for first leading his people down a path of self-destruction for his own self-aggrandizing ends and then trying to reclaim the throne through force and subterfuge after his downfall. And if I were Venril, I would despise the Iksar for refusing to recognize their place as insects who must sacrifice their worthless lives to serve my will, and for their "cowardice" and "weakness" in failing to help me achieve my goal of becoming more powerful than the Ring of Scale. No doubt Venril blames his former Iksar subjects for his failure to defeat the Ring of Scale (no way someone like him would ever blame himself for failure), and hates them for it...and plans to make them all grovel in the dirt before him pleading for their lives, yes he'll make them pay he'll make them ALL pay, Iksar and Dragons alike...that's how evil megalomanaical folks like him think, you see. It doesn't have to be logical because he's INSANE and EVIL.

It's like if Richard Nixon arose from his grave as a giant vampiric lich creature and tried to take back the White House with his hordes of foul mutant minions, and decided also to take revenge on his former subjects who rejected his benevolent reign (benevolent only in his own twisted undead mind). Or something like that... :o)
Get your lore straight

Venril Sathir never fought the dragons of the Ring of Scale, it is his successors that started the Iksar-Dragon war. Venril Sathir ruled Iksar empire for a long time until his old age, but he wanted to rule longer so he decided to cheat death by making a pact with Innoruuk. Well, VS liked to rule but so did his son and heir. So during the cermony in which VS was to become immortal, his son R-something subtaoged the ritual and then sealed VS's soul gem somewhere so he can took over the throne. Understandably VS is pissed at his Iksar subjects for this, just like Jaled'Dar is pissed at his dragon brothers and sisters for watching him die over the field of bones and wish to wreck veagence on them by unleash the sleeper.

Yeah Venril Sathirs Son (Rile) Actually Was The First One In Movement of the dargon-iksar war,When the dragons noticed the threat they wanted indirect action, But Trakanon, Wanted Direct and swift action to destroy the Sebilisian Empire, But as result Trakanon was voted down and Jaled-Dar Then Became Leader, Riles Son, (Ganak) Actually Fought Jaled-Dar Over The FoB When is was a lush land but a humongous blast (caused by Veeshan) Destroyed Ganak And Jaled-Dar In a Bolt Of Flames, Making it desert, Iksar where declared winners of the battle and created the Emerald Circle, Which Fell And The Iksar Empire Collapsed Around them, Venril Sathir's Pact Was Finished Though...... And i think Him and Jaled-Dar Should Conquer Norrath For Iksar.......

he looks kool -
grats on any group who has killed him
wow he is a kool iksar

i have looked at posts and say- harmony him, fd pull till room clear, make enchaters ruin, have cleric buffs on main tanks then send main tank in for 8seconds w fasts weps/ haste buffs, have 1 group come in 1 at a time 1 in back 1 on left side 1 on right side (this should be done when main warrior is hitting him for about 8 sec) then keep damaging him..no need to try any type of root/snare/darken or anything..wiz and enchaters are important here- and so are necros. i say all other melee besides main tank should have slow weps and VS group should all have 2h weps mostly exept main tank of course. I hope u agree i hope to be the main tank agianst him 1 day i mean that would be great to go 1 on 1 w him for a while...= ) -safe travels-
-play nice-
-dont speed loot-
ps- hurry up and get out of there when raid is over

Your gonna need 20 sticks o dinamite, 5 pounds of C4 and the igniting supplys , and five grenades. Now have the main tank go in there and toss all five grenades, this will stun him, then have someone in wolf form run in and stick the C4 all over him, and run the wire from the C4 back to the switch, then light the dinamite throw it at him click the switch on the C4 and your all done. Yay i garuntee this will work
Why would a monk show up?

It's like they purposely left him out. Isn't EVERY class represented but the monk?

Not true, the Iksar Monks would show up because he is guarding a key which they need for their Shackle of Scale

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 28 2001 at 5:03 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I hear you, Icohen....it seems as though melee weapons and armor drop everywhere in this castle, but not a single thing a caster can use. Then of course you're always in a group (that's tank heavy of course) that espouses the NBG (need before greed) looting rules when camping a given named spawn.
RE: Agreed, Icohen!

I swear... if I had you infront of me, Id duel you just for the disrespect you just spit. I suppose you chanters/clerics think your god or something. Last time I remember some caster whining about not getting to loot warrior stuff, I accidentally forgot to taunt and the whiner who did so much all on his own seemed to die within like ohhh 20 seconds or less. This is a team game and we have to help eachother out, and unfortunatly this entails sacrificing for your tanks. What do you need equipment for anyway. Casters are all about there spells, and warriors are all about there armor. If you had mid 20 lvl spells casting on guys in KC id like to see how far you get. So why do you yell at a warrior in crafted armor, which we get in mid 20's, for needing better armor. It just tickles me pink when people just like to get stuff to sell. AND you are getting something up in DT for cobalt and jade mace, its called exp and some excitement. If the game isnt fun for you, then leave, cause by whining about being a chanter and not being able to loot warrior items, well I dont want you with me and when you leave the group, your the sucker and everyone talks down on you.
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 08 2001 at 6:00 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This is to the guy who's complaining NBG rules...you really think that its fair to sell equipment that drops when someone could and would actually use it, don't you? You treat NBG like its the enemy, but if an awesome piece of caster equipment dropped and a warrior won the roll, I bet you would be whining for weeks. If you really think its that important to get all of the equipment, why don't you go kill Velketor or something? Its a good thing everyone doesn't think the way you do, or there would be a whole lot fewer plane raids (have fun going to fear without enchanters, clerics, and warriors), epic weapons (how far do you think a shadowknight would get if no one would help him because they weren't guaranteed loot?), etc.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 20 2001 at 12:15 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well, LOL, considering that some awesome cleric greaves also drop off of him, I think we can expect the clerics to be there, and wanting the same rule to be in place. And he does drop decent staffs for casters also.

Rune 3 works better because they stack. HAve 3 chanters chain casting rune 3 and use a main tank.

It's funny how Kunark brought all this new armor to every class except pure casters. It just shows verants policy on casters. If you are a high level caster you will know what i mean.

Uhh... did you guys even look at the list of loot? Ancient Shissar Gauntlets look pretty damn nice for pure casters, not to mention the class specific staffs that also drop. Pure casters don't need armor, all they need is a group that has tanks with good armor.

What about monks what kunark class armor do they get? and no its not crested cause that all drops in Dalnir that would more be like there crafted, ravenscale, totemic etc...

Can tanks solo? think about it
RE: Lootless Casters
# Jul 20 2001 at 12:44 AM Rating: Default
/Agree

Let's think about this here...Why should melees (especially tanks) get nice armor? hmmm...becuase they are tanks? That is the correct answer.

You think that casters got 0 from the kunark expansion? Casters got about 20 new spells for each class from the expansion, and that is what they do, cast, hence the name casters. The only thing a tank ever really needs is alot of AC, but the stats really help. We need to have about 4 stats (5 for non-pure mellee) maxed as high as possible, and casters only need 1 (wis/int). You are lucky that you can pretty much perform your best with just 200 wis/int. Any caster of the right LVL range can get into any group with crap gear or nice stuff. If someone gets a look at a tank and sees he/she has crap gear, they may not get the group.

A necro can solo or group almost as well completely naked, and how many tanks do you know that can do that or even get close? A tanks armor is what makes the tank, and that is what I am getting at. At least casters can solo if they know what they are doing. After 25, there is really no way for a warrior to solo anything, especially efficiently or safely.

Oh, well, I am not against casters in any way. In fact I have a low wizzy, and a mid level chanter, and I love them. You just have to understand that choosing a caster class means that you will not have the stats of a tank, unless you are on Veeshan server, and a member of FoH. LOL

# Sep 25 2001 at 2:29 PM Rating: Default
Now that is just ignant to say, all we need is int/wis and spells. What happens when we start getting beat on? And I'm not just talking about the clerics, what about the encs? OMG I get more agroe on my 54 chanter than tanks to at times of the fight.. but how long does it take for a mob to beat me down compaired to a tank? Please engage the thinking process before you engage the talking process. AC/HTPT are just as important to us as you. I won't even go to resists.. some mobs weaps procs alone, just a proc, hit's more than 1500 hitpoints.. where does that leave the casters.. how much does my int help than? now if I had the resist gear .. well that's a diff story.. Any how that's my 2cp.
RE: Lootless Casters
# Aug 07 2001 at 9:34 AM Rating: Decent
I have to agree and disagree with your comments on that. As a caster, mainly necros, armor is nice, and unless your born with a silver tongue your not going to get above raw silk for until mid to high 20's....and when we want armor we aren't talking about ac...yes it is nice to have some ac when those tanks can't find their taunt button but mainly we would like caster armor....ie int/wis improvments, maybe some extra HP, trading spells can eat through HP pretty dang fast. And, as for a necro, neckid ya we can hold our own, but so can an orge with a rusty weapon. For that class maybe trade off some of that int/wis for a little ac would be nice....

# Jul 01 2001 at 12:48 PM Rating: Decent
Post 50 can enchanters solo? hmmm unless you mean skyfire from lvl 35 mobs. Then again a planes wearing meleer can solo there too. I can't solo anything above 37 lvl. I'm an enchanter; you know that caster that crumbles in every group when someone forgets to assist?
RE: Lootless Casters
# Aug 10 2001 at 3:18 AM Rating: Default
You know that melee classes crumble if the chanter forgets to mez and the cleric forgets to heal? Sure, in a group with lousy players, you might find that your AC isn't high enough... but it ain't high enough for the melee classes either.
Pet classes
# Jun 25 2001 at 7:13 AM Rating: Decent
Want to try VS sometime...can pets with taunt switched off be used? Seems a waste to have mages there if not, given the high resists to their spells. I'm guessing that the main tank taunting will outaggro pets by a huge amount. Necros would be nice to have there as well, supply the chanters with a bit of extra mana...another batch of pets that could deal a little more damage, given that it's all about speed.

VS has the NICE trait that he heals off his enemies, I think its 1.5k hp / hit. So using clerics is like placing 5 clerics of Innoruuk at his side to heal him
RE: Pet classes

. . . And that's why pets aren't summoned unless you wanna lose to VS.

Simple. I may only be new to the Karnors realm, but I can say, as a newer person going there, I tried numerous "surefire ways" to take VS down. Only one that worked for a bunch of 54-56's was the one posted by Xitara. The others may have worked, but not when we tried. The fight, if all goes well, takes 20 sec. If you need a heal, everyone camp, raid's done.

And from what I have read and heard the epic quests can be done at as low a lvl as 1. Yes thats right lvl 1, however for this to be done u must have a very strong guild to basicly do the quest for u. Sorry to post that info here but i couldn't find a better spot for it.
RE: Hail all u druids and rangers!
# Jul 11 2001 at 6:38 AM Rating: Decent
I agree 100% you can do every single part at lvl 1, EXCEPT going to the planes (have to be 46 in case you didn't know). VI wasn't stupid, they realized uber guilds would wanna 'twink' their alts with epics at very early levels. I was thinking I could at least get my first weapon by 30 w/ guild help, but as i was checking on th parts i needed i realized i needed just one lil item from the plane of air.
RE: Hail all u druids and rangers!
# Jul 25 2001 at 3:58 AM Rating: Decent
even if you have to get something from plane of air, it might be possible to multiquest it. I know you could multiquest the wizard epic for a level 1 wizard if you didn't need to be 50 for the npc interaction.
