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.

They have done more for me than anyone else i know has. Often times taking hours out of there day just to lend me a hand. AL is one of the best if not the best guild in EQ (FoH) , and will continue to be. And yes it is true you can get a bad one in a guild everyone once in a while. but for the most part everyone i knew in AL were always great to me. Here is my 2 cents on them, When i was getting my epic around lvl 53 i needed to kill general some AL people came out ot help me .. I went LD after general died , and i couldn't log back on.. When i logged back on an AL member looted the piece of general because they assumed i wouldn't be able to get back on. I was kind of angry at first but realized it was my modems fault. Al lended me a seb croaking dirk and a C blade of Luclin until they were able to MQquest Ragebringer with me. I hardly knew them and they went Out of there way to make sure i did fine without having ragebringer..

I take it that Kerafrym is the sleeper than?
#Anonymous, Posted: Dec 10 2001 at 8:33 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) OK Vox and Nagfen (Sp) had sex, they created KArra Firm(again SP) Lord Yelniak WAS PISSED. So he Closed KEra in a tomb and sealed vox and naggy up, supposed to be ever bannished from the world. When you realease Kera, he charges through adjacent zones and goes to Sky shrine he then fights Yelniak to the death. Yelniak dies Sleeper despawns. ITS OVER maybe some guild took him in the beginning, but some guild will take him again some day when they gots enuff ppl. Thats the story, end of it

Well, most of you are wrong

When Velius first came out and Sleepers tomb was just being noticed; a large guild took down the Sleeper. Yeah. this didn;t sit well with verants unstopable mob. So they boosted him to quad 2500 each attack and give him 3 bil hp. Yes they have stated this you can find the file some were on verants site about how they had to up it. Im surprised you guys didn;t know this. He droped a Sweet spear called Kerfym's Fang, too bad it was NO RENT.... Another one of verants sick jokes.

Please.

The Sleeper, in its existing format, was not meant to be killed. I swear, there is more bs info around the whole kerafyrm encounter than any thing else in the game. Take your lvl 8 druid back to CB where you belong.

The Sleeper is higher than lvl 75, and wasn't made to be killed.

#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 24 2001 at 7:50 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) On my server some retared uber guild decided to test thier luck on ole sleeper. They got him awake and were trying to use all the wizzy spells for dargons and they didn't lay a scratch on him. Meanwhile i was in skyshrine mindin my own business when WHAM! i woke up at my bind point to learn that the idiots went for sleeper. I suggest no one even try basic dragon raid methods on him. The only way he will ever die is via a quest or item
Sleeper?

Would it be possible to kill Kerafyrm while he fights Yelinak at the same time? Hmm ... someone should give it a try. Have some people kill all 4 Warders ... and have possibly another guild in Skyshrine to help Yelinak fight him.
RE: Sleeper?
# Dec 01 2001 at 10:21 PM Rating: Decent
eh, bit of a problem there, friend...the sleeper is located in sleeper's tomb. he never leaves, he just despawns. Yelinak is in skyshrine, thus the two couldn't meet each other unless there was some event that spawned them in the same zone
#Anonymous, Posted: Dec 04 2001 at 11:17 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) heh actually you have the bit of problem...when awaken sleeper goes around the velious zones killing the dragons and the other mobs in the zone (AE Death Touch) but eithre way the original idea of another guild helping Yeli wouldn't work b/c sleper has like a zillion hp heh.
Awakening

On my server a guild called Keepers of the Faith awakened the Sleeper, now the is talk of how they ruined Sleeper's Tomb for the other guilds that go there.. I dont understand.. does it not despawn at all? Or Is the zone empty once someone awakens it.. How does awakening the sleeper totally stop others from going in this zone?

Because the sleeper is Kerafym, not "The Sleeper" so he is listed.
Veeshan's role in the imprisonment
# Nov 17 2001 at 5:08 AM Rating: Good
Yes, Veeshan did play a role in the fate of Nagfen at one point. You see, Nagafen had a castle built above his lair. This castle had a large opening, so that he could not only hunt freely, but seek out Lady Vox also. Well, Veeshan simply would not allow this to come to pass. With one swipe of her claws, Veeshan collapsed the castle, as well as some of the mountains around it. The remains of the castle are in a giant lava pool near the entrance to Nagafen's lair. Odd, I remember hearing something about some goblins getting cursed, as well as a complete mind wipe, for some heinous deed that has long been forgotten. Perhaps that deed was the construction of Nagafen's castle?
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 11 2001 at 2:46 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Me(a monk) and my shammy buddy work this zone. It has pretty good xp and the loot is kinda decent. IMO these mobs are WAY overconned.

# Nov 11 2001 at 12:04 AM Rating: Decent
You can't land Porlos on him but you can use Lure of Ice on him its posted on graffe's wizards the Guild that woke him up had there wizards land Lure of Ice once so they did about 2000 damage to him hardly a dent I don't see why dragonbane wouldn't work because he is obviously a dragon.
RE: Dragonbane
# Nov 26 2001 at 10:00 AM Rating: Decent
Porlos fury is a bane on the dragons of Yelinak's Brood, not all dragons. The quest tells the story, you should actually hail the NPCs and listen to what they say instead of just follow the spoilers and hand in your items.
#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 06 2001 at 12:27 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) oh and dont believe Afterlife's website about how their players have to know everything just to get in the guild...that is absolute crud...you get into AL by being a buddy or sucking up to the right people in the guild...half of them no absolutely jack about half the zones in the game....ive had to give directions to several Getalife players who were lost in common zones...of course if i ever get the chance in the future the directions will be wrong and hopefully lead them to a death if possible
#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 08 2001 at 4:44 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I beg to differ. I am in AL and i can tell you that you realy do have to know everything to get into Afterlife!! No Kiding around either. There is an exam that has to be taken via scantron, and a writen portion with an essay. We do indeed know everything, for instance,.... i know you paid your Dad 15 bucks to suck you off last night, and your mom got jelous and tossed the pet dog's salad!

to tuvine from fennin ro...shut your dumb mouth before you go calling people who speak truths newbies...you know absolutely jack and your stupid post proved it..the guy that you flamed seemed righteous to me dum dum..



Now as for sleepers on Mith Marr it is now a stuffed up zone as the worst guild on the server...yes thats right Afterlife went and woke the sleeper up to make it hard for every other guild to get primals...why? because they suck and are greedy..

I used to look up to Afterlife and thought they were legends but since ive gotten up to hunting in zones they frequent i have seen their true colors...Afterlife are basically uber kill stealers...a favourite and now infamous tactic they use is to let other guilds even clear the path to uber boss mobs and then race past and KS the boss while the other guild preps for it...hardly the sort of thing nice people would do



some Afterlife members are ok and will help others but most of them are just jerks and lootwhores...here is a good example


THURID from al is equipped with epics ..primal plus other weapons that are better than epics....today i saw him tag along with another guild in kael to leech faction from them...a Defiance dropped..guess who managed to get his tell in quick enough to be number 2 on the list to lotto for it..THURID did..and this is while the other people in the list had weapons inferior to a defiance and would have only imagined owning equipment that Thurid possesses in their Dreams...i already knew Thurid was a jerk but thisd just confirmed it for me...although its quite typical for his type as he is a member of Afterlife

to sum it up for those of you who are still blinded by the light shining from their rings Afterlife dont deserve the effort it would take to spit on them and the sooner you butt kissers realise it the better
#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 29 2001 at 3:34 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Lol what an idiot, he prolly applied to AL and got rejected.

"I used to look up to Afterlife and thought they were legends"

And you're telling someone else to "Getalife"?
RE: Getalife
# Nov 12 2001 at 12:03 PM Rating: Decent
I'm not in AL, but I do play on Mith Marr, and am 60, and hunt in several of the zones AL hunts in. I am also fortunate enough to call many in AL friend. Why do I say fortunate? Not because they are great players with the best gear in the game (and for the most part they are) but because they are GOOD PEOPLE!

The friends I have in AL are the type of people that would spend a couple hours on a non raid day to help CR you in Fear after a server hiccup and no GM's to be seen (thanks Delnatha!). They are the type of people that would stop farming for coin loot (yes, suprising as it may sound many in AL ARE broke, and they DO need items and cash from time to time!) in Sirens Grotto to help drag your silly *** out of the well bottom past 2 icy guardians and OTHER see invis mobs so you can continue to have fun (thanks Thurid!!). They are the type that would walk up to you and say, "Bro, I think you need these more than I do!" and hand you a pair of cobalt boots (thanks Greycloud!). They are the type that do nice things, without being asked (begging irritates almost everyone, no?), and expect NO return for it other than a nice feeling, a little better reputation and the chance to help someone in need. If I listed all the truly decent things I have seen AL members do for people on Mith Marr I'd take up more space than that spam post someone made here.

I've also seen some people in AL do some things that I would consider LESS than flattering, but you have to keep ONE thing in mind: every guild has good and bad people, and even the best people around have bad days at times, and make the wrong decision in haste or anger. Rather than flame people in AL in a public forum, why not politely send the offenders a tell and talk to them about the issue, like an adult? And if that doesnt work try talking to an AL officer. Conduct is an important issue to them. Not saying they will drop what they are doing to jump down someones throat, but they may have a way to resolve the issue.

Also, as a side note, keep one thing in mind: begging for items, PLing, help, etc will usually get less than favorable responses from anyone of higher level. We all usually get dozens of such requests per day (like the many druids that want to charge us 50pp for a GG because we're level 60, then are suddenly our best buddy when they need Uulump or Fayd killed), and while many of us DO enjoy helping when we can you have to keep in mind we play the game for the same reason lower level people do: to have a good time!
#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 11 2001 at 2:12 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Learn what the heck your talking about. Afterlifes not jerks, lootwhores, etc.. Every member I've encounter from AL was kind and respectable.. What guild are you from, LoTD ? -_-;

I'd like to take ya all back in time....when you were lvl 1.

You con a guard-ooohhh...red. You con a merchant; also red-go fig; you're lvl 1.

You build for a few days....a week....a month. You see that merchant again-and look-he's yellow...another week-blue.

Ya started with cloth armor; and now this young (let's say paladin; no diff really) has almost all fine plate. Along with that; a reasonably good weapon for a lvl 35 or so.

The guild you are in was the same; started small....got biggier-and bigger-and bigger...and now has several mems in the 50's along with a total of 100+ people.

As we age, we grow stronger...as we quest; we also grow stronger.

The mobs don't (well; at least when the GM's don't get fruity on us :P).

Once, as said many times, Nagafen and Vox were "unbeatable"...and countless people have seen them fall...the same shall be for the sleeper.

Everyday it seems, people find new things to the game; and get stronger in the process...one of these days, although not soon, someone is GOING to take him (or figure out what it's for)-just give it time.

I'm a relative lowb with a main at 27 an an alt SK at 11, I read these things to see the sort of mobs I want to aspire to beat, as well as looking at the equipment I drool over until I am big enough to get!

What I'm interested in mainly about this is where the "fluff" on characters like this comes from... I'd love to read more!
