How about that music that sometimes comes on throughout the zone, must be a
random trigger though cause I never get it in the same place twice... I
actually find unrest scarier though, in a frenetic, bodies everywhere sort
of way. Ok, I lied, Kithicor is way scarier, but only when you let yourself
think about it...

I'm trying, but haven't a lot of info on happenings West of Highpass.

Have to check this out. Interesting, have not been into Hogcaller's in a
long while.

Knowing how Brad thinks in some ways, it would make a lot of sense.
Kithicor is the physical 'glue' that hold the two sides of Norrath together,
not HighPass as some might think. Perhaps Kithicor is also the metaphysical
'glue' that holds different parts of Norrath's story together. HighPass is
the 'obvious' center, the one everyone sees. But you can go around
Highpass, how can it be more than a false center, a side passage in the tale
of Norrath. No the real center, the shadow-center is Kithicor. Its not
Commonlands, nor Karanas. You can't avoid it, but must pass thru whether to
go b Rivervale or HighPass you must take Kithicor. Most run thru it
quickly, without looking back.
You want to keep something secret, you have two choices, put it
where few will want to go, or hide it in plain sight. Kithicor accomplishes
both as everyone eventually runs through there, but how many people actually
see Kithicor? This is definitely the most mysterious zone I have found and
definitely is not useless. There may be a lot of unimplemented things in
Kithicor, or those things might just be hidden. I just wish that npc's
waiting for secret passwords could be distinguished from npc's that just
don't talk. Nothing more frustrating than bantering at ever-silent Kithicor
for an hour trying to ask the right question. Maybe when we need his answer
we will know to go to him, I don't know.
If you want useless, how about Kerra Isle? What's the purpose in
that place? I have tried to talk to every catman there to no avail and
could find nothing there but catmen and the heretics isle. Since I abhor
necros I wanted nothing to do with heretic necros whatsoever! Its the only
time I have ever been totally alone in a zone while 1600 people were on the
server.
