Question Title: Where can i find the complete backstory?
Category: Backstory
Question: With recent events, I am very curious about the back story. Previously all I cared about was what creature could I kill that would give greatest experience. Now I want to learn about Dereth. I want to understand why things are happening around me.

Answer: There is no one source in-game for backstory. The Zone "Story So Far" pieces are transcribed in books available at the Zaik, Heb, and Crag libraries (look for the white bookshelf). These are free and will give you a synopsis of every monthly event we've done. The history of Dereth prior to human habitation must be accrued through completing the various quests and reading the fiction you get along the way. Of course, you can always search the web for this early history; I think every bit of text that's ever appeared in game is online somewhere or other.
