Kerafyrm's Lair, formerly known as Sleeper's Tomb, is a dark dungeon located beneath the icy wastes of Velious, and was used by the First Brood to imprison the dragon Kerafym. Anyone at least 55th level can now enter this zone. The actual key (no longer required) is gained through this quest.

Eras ago, there was no such thing as the Claws of Veeshan or Ring of Scale -- dragons from all over Norrath were a part of the same faction. At some point, two dragons of different color decided to mate. Resulting from this union were Kerafyrm, a baby crystal dragon and an ensuing war amongst the dragons. In a successful effort to end the war, the First Brood imprisoned Kerafyrm in a tomb deep beneath the wastes of Velious, leaving four warders in place to guard the now-dormant crystal dragon.

Jaled'Dar, a rebel dragon amongst the Claws of Veeshan, wanted to bring the Golden Age back to Norrath and decided that The Sleeper had to be awakened. He, however, was slain in a great battle with the iksars and now rests in his spirit form in Dragon Necropolis. Due to his death, he needed to enlist the aid of Norrathian adventurers to further his cause.

In due time, Kerafyrm was indeed awakened, and went on a rampage from his tomb, through the icy wastes, and into Skyshrine. (Quite a lot of time passed before he resurfaced in Crystallos.) With the warders slain and Kerafyrm free, this historic tomb is now home to a group of ancient dragons: Zeixshi`Kar, Vyskudra, Tjudawos, and Kildrukaun.

Aight people, you're done.

First point:
1. Sleeper can't be killed.
No matter if you have 2391721835123 60 people in the same zone with the best equip ever and all AA and all spells.
That wouldn't be possible anyway, because the zone would crash.
So what if AL or FoH or any of the uber guilds got him down to what, 95% HP?

Big deal.
I'd like to see them get him down to 0%, for all you people who think they're god.

Second point:
2. Chaining.
No, you can't chain CH and rez with a billion clerics/pallies in the zone.
Sleeper DTs.
Sure, you can rez over and over again.
Think about how much mana that would take.
Even if you had your epic, the cast time is slow.
Sleeper DTs fast.
Think of it this way: There are 60 people standing in front of a man with a gun. The man shoots all the people in less than a minute.
That's what it's like with the Sleeper and DT'ing

Third point:
3. GMs.
I've many a time heard the story of the GMs chain DT'ing the sleeper.
No scratch.
Yep, after all that chain DTing, hardly moved the HP bar.

Fourth point:
4. Moving.
The Sleeper DT's every player in the zone. He then zones to Skyshrine and generally beats the crap out of Yelinak (the dragon that imprisoned Kerafyrm) if he's popped. And yes, he ZONES. He kills every PC in SS, too. What a surprise.

Fifth point:
5. Uber lewts.
Sleeper can't be killed, remember? And he never HAS been killed. So therefore, no one knows what his loot is. NO ONE. (well, except GMs, if they ever put loot on him, but he wasn't made to be killed, so *shrug*) So shut up and stop telling everyone what so-called loot you picked up after you soloed the sleeper under 30 seconds.

Sixth point:
6. Stupidity?
Ahem... this is how it goes:
"hi, im a lvl 1 twinked dr00d with the best eq ever my alt got it from vex thal but anyway i ported to ic because i have all my spells even though im lvl 1 the gms gave me permission to scribe all my spells even if im lvl 1, but i ported to ic and i killed all the frost giants and went into ew then i went into ST and i petitioned and asked a gm for a key and he gave it to me so i went in and i killed all the mobs and the warders then i went to the sleeper and he awakened. and a gm gave me immortality so i snared and doted the sleeper and he died in 10 secs and i got some really uber loot from him, i got a 90% haste item and a 2000 dmg 1 dly scimitar so i equipped it and i owned everyone in a dool i'm on the karana server and my name is (soandso) im a real person so you can send me a tell and look at my uber loots i got from soloing the sleeper, bye"
This is also usually followed by the username of "Anonymous".

Seventh point:
7. History.
THe Sleeper was part of history in Norrath.
therefore he isn't meant to be killed. so shut up, he can't be killed.

Last point:
8. Lore.
The lore says Kerafyrm was created by Lord Nagafen and Lady Vox when they mated together. The two opposing colors, red and blue; created a much more powerful dragon, Kerafyrm. Supposedly his power is about the same as Veeshan, the Wurmqueen. So then they sealed him in eternal sleep. If Kerafyrm should be killed, Norrath will be destroyed. (therefore you shouldn't try and kill him in the first place LOL!!!!)

Anyway, that's all.
/annoyed off

That's my 2 cp. Thanks for listening =D

I'm going to be a jack *** and point out the smallest little mistake I can find, Sleeper doesn't really DT that much, he casts pretty much zone wide AoE's that are for the most part unresistable, when TDE took the warders down we of course had resists maxed (before the resist patch) and sleeper wound up killing just about everyone with the first AoE, zone wide DT is in actuallity just a really nasty wide range AoE, don't think we ever calculated how often he DT'ed, we were kind of ubsessed with calculating his hp, but we never really figured that out either *shrug regen was so high none of it really matters.

Ok, you are right FOR NOW. What I mean is, Kerafyrm is only as powerful as he is because Sony is still working on the quests and such involving Kerafyrm. At the very least, they'll probably tone his insane hp down a little once they are done. As for being as powerful as Veeshan, I seriously doubt he's that strong. Besides, the lore never says that

wrong, it said in pieces of lore that veeshan ordered that Kerafym be imprisoned because she feared he would overthrow her rule, therefore it leaves us with the fact that he is as powerful, or more powerful, than her

Finally! Someone that makes sense! However, Sleeper's "Parents" were executed the second the Claws of Veeshan found Kerafyrm. Vox & Naggy were members of the RoS, but when they were found out to be trying to mate to create a new Kerafyrm, they were banished to Antonica in a respective climate and in an almost-no-way-out chamber (for their size). Their plan was to create a new Kerafyrm and to see if they could control it (Unlike Kerafyrm) They tried to get their minions to dig a hole big enough for them so they can try, but they haven't suceeded. And I've heard that the Sleepers Zonewide DT is just a myth made by a collection of bastards to scare us.

Sleeper DTs fast


Shows what you know, He doesn't DT fast. The "Begone insect, I have much slaying left to do" message comes up everytime he kills someone. NOT when he DT's someone.

Just a small correction - in lore Kerafyrm is NOT the offspring of Vox and Naggy. Rather he was the offspring of a previous pair of colour mis-matched dragons. When Vox and Naggy where found to be preparing to mate, they were banished to their respective lairs in an attempt to stop them creating another Kerafyrm type dragon.
