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 contain Kerafyrm.

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 conflict 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, he perished in a great battle with the iksars and now rests in his spirit form in Dragon Necropolis. Due to his passing, he needed to enlist the aid of Norrathian adventurers to further his cause.

In due time, Kerafyrm was indeed awakened from his tomb, and went through the icy wastes, and into Skyshrine. (Quite a lot of time passed before he resurfaced in Crystallos.)

With the warders no more and Kerafyrm free, this historic tomb is now home to a group of ancient dragons: Zeixshi`Kar, Vyskudra, Tjudawos, and Kildrukaun.


Level 55 is required to enter the zone.

BUT... in PoP there will be like lvl 90+lvl mobs and then it will be like a new Sleeper. I hope Verant will make it after PoP comes out that Sleeper has unlimited spawns but at least make him a little higher for better loot.

ok 2 things you should consider, moron:

1. It's not Truthbringer, its Sword of Truth.
2. look on the class/race - it says CLASS: NONE RACE: NONE, so no one can attack any mob with it.

check into things before you post...smart one.

Sleep isnt dead and prolly isnt going to die

It's True that when the sleeper pops in is gone making it impossible to kill him twice. And I think the fact that he hasnt been killed either means he is far to strong and the room is to small or the fact that he isnt supposed to die yet but what do I know.

Im very interest in sleeper too. And I think that theres a connection between Vex thal and the sleeper's tomb. The sword have to do something with killing sleeper and the quest fate of norrath. But ive wonder...What if theres a secret quest that upgrade the "shadow sword"...Kerafyrm is in that too.Im doing research on that. But I swear that ill find out, and when sleeper will die, ill be there to see him fall.

as a personal reply, i am a ranger as well, and my obsession with the sleeper is becoming ever stronger. I certainly believe he is killable, though not by conventional means. My best theory is that you have to GIVE the Truthbringer to Kerafyrm to disable his powers first... anyway... anyone who has other theories or wants to share their knowlege about the sleeper send me an email at fwaeldjm@hotmail.com (no spam or flames please)

1) You can't give an item to a hostile mob (try giving something to a mob that's attacking you)

2) Even if you could, it's not for a quest so you'd get it right back with a "Thanks, but I've no use for this. You can have it back"
Waking the Sleeper
# Apr 08 2002 at 12:10 AM Rating: Decent
Umm, what exactly is the point of waking the sleeper up lol? Correct me if I'm wrong but it means no more primal weapons and the sleeper obviously isn't going to be killed untill after a few post 60 guilds develope in PoP
RE: Waking the Sleeper
# Apr 24 2002 at 6:46 PM Rating: Default
The point is that no one else can kill the warders, meaning the guild that wakes him up might be the only guild with SoD's and such items that drop only off warders...

Primals still drop after he is awakened.
RE: Waking the Sleeper
# Apr 14 2002 at 7:33 AM Rating: Default
When Sleeper is awaken he's loose, never to beseen again. The warders dont spawn and the only things that drop Primal weapons are Progenitor, MotG, and Final Arbiter. They CAN drop 1 primal but its random and very rarly a 1 hander. So pretty much waking sleeper sucks.
RE: Waking the Sleeper
# Apr 08 2002 at 12:58 PM Rating: Default
Waking the sleep is both good and bad. Bad, because there are no more warders and awesome warder loot. Good, because primal weapons drop off of the normal trash golems, which only used to drop priceless. Overall, I dont think waking the Sleeper is not worth it. It sucks for the people who will never get a chance at warder loot. Than again, a lot more primal drops is very nice. I got my ST key after the Sleeper had been awoken on my server. We got 3 primal weapons the first time i went, so im not complaining about it.

Sleeper was awakened yesterday on Fenin Ro server by the guild Order Of Redemption. The guild was later disbanded.

# Apr 22 2002 at 12:54 PM Rating: Default
wow. coincidence? or fate? conspiracy maybe.
i agree with a previous post, when this all does get figured out they will have already poped the sleeper on every server and it will be too late. i really wish some of these damned guilds would stop using the sleeper as a show of how uber they are. its all the same, some guild decides to camp the warders and then when theyre done getting all the uber loots they pop the sleeper so that no one else can get the drops off the warders. its a gay hellish circle. i hope this new expansion will make a new "sleeper" type monster that DOESNT pop only once. . .
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 04 2002 at 5:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I know somebody who is a guide on EQ and they said one of the EQ guides popped the sleeper and killed the sleeper. I don't remember which server, but the guide was banned for it and got in a lot of trouble. So the sleeper has been killed, but not legitimately in any case that I know of.

What do we know about this so far?

--Kerafyrm is the Sleeper
--Supposedly has over 2 billion HP (or so people claim from showEQ)
--Once all 4 Warders die. Sleeper pops.
--Once it spawns. It can never spawn again. (From Q&A at most recent Fan Faire)
--Almost all servers have already spawned the Sleeper.

I think we can conclude that even if there is a sword in Vex Thal that can kill the Sleeper (which sounds like a madman's fantasy to me,) by the time someone was able to get it, the Sleeper would have already been wakened, and they wouldn't have a chance to even try. But what do I know, I'm just a stoopid Troll.

Well the part about the HP is simply not true. Well I suppose it *could* be true but nobody would know for sure. ShowEQ hasn't shown actual hitpoints since the pre-kunark days I believe. For sure not since velious came out. All it show's not is a percentage, the same thing that your client sees because total hitpoints aren't sent to the client anymore. Just thought I'd kill this rumor. :p
#Anonymous, Posted: Mar 29 2002 at 12:14 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I have overheard that the number 1 guild of everquest which is "Fires of Heaven" on Veeshan server killed the sleeper once before. Im not sure if its true but thats what i heard according to all the people iv talked to.

Sleeper has never been killed, never will be killed, and even if this sword from Vex Thal is good it couldnt' be good enough to kill him. So next time you hear one of those rumors tell them what I told you. He won't be killed. OMG i swear we are going in circles here. 6 months ago when Conquest woke Sleeper and almost killed him but instead screwed the zone and the guild, people were asking this question. Its old and out of date, he hasn't been killed.
Yes, the sleeper HAS been killed...
# Apr 08 2002 at 4:08 AM Rating: Default
Shortly after Velious was released, FOH did kill the sleeper. Twice, if I remember correctly. He was "hard" for them (If anything can be considered hard for a guild that good. =P) but they were able to drop him. Without using pathing bugs or anything, mind you.
Verant wasn't happy about this, so they "tweaked" Kerafyrm. Made him harder. Also made it so he'll only spawn once per server. Now FOH won't go near him.

If I recall correctly (and I may not since Velious was released somewhat over a year ago now,) Sleeper's Tomb wasn't even implemented until several months after Velious came out. It was only a rumor (which some still say Vex Thal is) until one day the "portal sphere" appeared by the Sleeping Dragon statue in Eastern Wastes. This being the case, I find it hard to believe that any guild was able to kill something in a zone that was inaccessible at the time. Of course, you could be using some definition of the word "shortly" that I was previously unaware of. But what do I know, I'm just a stupid troll.

OMFG... ok, for all of those small brained tards: the sleeper cannot be killed, the only way someone could even put a dent in his HP is with that truth sword (which is not in the game as of today) do you want to know why it cant be killed?? ill tell you - if you do the math, you will see that it would take at least 600 people, who were all melee type (because casters cant cast on something that is over 10 lvs higher than they are if it is a mega mob, and sleeper is the muther of all mega mobs) and these 600 melee type players would have to do max damage every hit, and the fight would last a little more than 2 weeks, do you know how long that is?? could you play EQ for 1 week straight?? not even get up to take a crap?? no, you cant... and if it was even possible to get the sleeper down to say, 1/5 health, he will full heal himself. and as to the jackass that is taking about FoH, FoH is one of the best guilds on EQ, **** they are the best, but there are some things that even they cant kill. i was talking to Fattyfat and he was saying how after they woke the sleeper he whiped them out in a matter of seconds. he is 100% positive that without the Truth Bringer there is no way to kill sleeper, and even then, the truth bringer would have to kill him in 1 hit, because no one will last long enough within melee range of the sleeper to get off 2 rounds of combat. FACE THE FACTS, IF IT HAS OVER 2 BILLION HP, THEN THERE IS NO WAY TO KILL IT, LET ALONE DENT ITS HP AT ALL.... if you disagree flame all you want, but no matter how hot you try to flame this YOUR THE ONLY ONE GETTING BURNED ! ! !

Sleeper can't technically be killed, they exploited a zone bug, the sleeper poofed zone messed up. They got themselves in quite a bit of trouble over it.

I've herd the sleepers been killer(BS im sure but what ever ;) )

ok any way. It is a fact that sleeper can die cause EQ team said so(at least brad). The Guild Conquest tried to own sleeper with 28 ppl and supposidly used bugs. they didnt win and aborted cause clerics were dieing. after that gms warned almost all and banned 2. they said that conquest used bugs because the sleeper could hit the clerics cause they were in safe zone and could only summon. that they were also useing the stack buff dispell bug (which conquest admitted to). and some other crap. IMO i think conquets's punnishment shoulda been alot lessend.

Dont't belive me? well read the posts on EQ board :/.

I guess you didn't read it very thorough... They weren't fighting the sleeper, they were fighting one of the warders when the GM:s spawned the sleeper to kill them. Again ,the were NOT fighting the sleeper, they were fighting a warder.

History
# Mar 18 2002 at 2:59 PM Rating: Decent
In the previous times, there were a Dragon named Jaled'dar or something like. ( He give the quest for the sleepers tome key quest ) He once was alive then something killed him really not shure, but anyway he's a ghost now. Zlandicar ate some of his flesh ( really odd of why he did that ) and in that doing so, Jaled could not go in the after life. His spirit was hold captive in Dragon nercropolis. The only way to be free is to wake up the sleeper and if the sleeper wakes up, he comes back alive. So he tricks mortal adventures to wake the sleeper for him and have him to rule the ring of scale again.

Ok tis may be old but I've heard the sword that has the power to kill the sleeper is in Vex thal and with all this Mithanial thing.... I hade this reserch on vex thal and got this uber weapon that drops in vex thal. This weapon should be equiped in all warrriors. Mithanial long sword. I kinda forgot the stats though but the deley is like 34 and damge is like 46 or 50. Hard to belive but it TRUE!!!. GO look up in everlore.com and look for screenshots.
( NOTE: LOOK ON THE RIGHT SIDE BEFORE VEIWING, IN EVERLOE SCREEN SHOTS. IT DESCRIBES THE PIC. THE TITLES HAS SOME WACKY NAMES THAT DOESN'R EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT THE PIC IS. )
Why the Sleeper Sleeps
# Mar 17 2002 at 11:41 PM Rating: Default
To the guy talking about the Malevolence and what not:
Have no clue about the sword or whatever..but I always heard that a group of Elder Dragons put Kerafym to sleep because they knew at birth that, because he was the son of Nagafen and Vox, he would be nearly unstoppable, and god-like in power.

Thanx :)

# Mar 21 2002 at 6:18 AM Rating: Decent
The sleeper is a dragon that is on Velious. If someone wonders into the zone and wakes him/her up then they everyone in that zone AND some people in the zones BY the sleepers tomb are killed. There once was a guild that took advantage of a bug and tryed to kill the sleeper I think. They were baned from EQ and there guild was seperated. Thats all I know about the sleeper:) Hope it helps:)

# Mar 13 2002 at 1:44 PM Rating: Default
Supposidly A sword called Truthbringer when weilded by a paladin of Marr will destroy the sleeper. But Mayong Mistmoore put it to sleep in the first place using the sword Malevolence. Malevolence has been awarded to a few people by Mayong. It comes with a title at the end of your name "the maleovelent". It is an artifact, so 1 per server. If you don't believe me (and I would think a large portion of you don't) then go to Everlore and look it up. Post if you know of any of my EQ lore that is inaccurate or off, I'm not sure about the paladin beaing of marr religion but let me know.
