Character Information

During Guild of Origin's first open vote for leadership I was elected guild second; however, due to inactivity I was removed from that post in February of 2014.

Player information

I originally began playing Realms of Despair in 1996-97 after being introduced to it by a classmate at my middle school, I took a hiatus during high school and college and returned in 2004 for a few months before taking another hiatus. I have now returned once more, older and wiser.

As a fan of science-fiction and fantasy novels, I discovered Realms of Despair before Dungeons and Dragons and it has greatly influenced the campaigns that I have played. I am thankful for those whose efforts have gone towards creating this wonderful world to explore, and to Poromenos for giving us this wiki to serve as a repository for the accumulated knowledge of those who have explored it before.

Areas to explore

Description

A famous bard, his name escapes you at the time, once wrote of the king-
"His face a visage of true nobility if ever there was one that could
truthfully make such a claim, a glance from this the most august of men
is worth a thousand coins of pure gold. In truth, were I to be given a
choice of a single gift, to be bestowed 'pon me on my death, it would be
to spend a mere instant in this man's great presence". While this mindless
adulation at first seemed almost fawning and pathetic, it is now almost
understandable; the man standing here seems to be a mortal- certainly he
is of only average height and appearance- yet at the same time seems to be
so much more than that. The mark of true nobility is certainly present here.

Notes

Warriors with Nasrs are great for Corst, mages are good and thieves are okay. You should be able to tank him with a thief but you can use two rescuing warriors if you want to be careful. With mages using paradox, attack and kill one of the hands and then the other, then style up and move on to Corsterix. Spell down both the hands and Corst with razorbait, ethereal funnel and faerie fire. Further spelldown Corsterix with ill fortune, petrification, kleshas, and mental anguish. Corsterix is susceptible to immobilize and this makes the fight much easier. Thieves should circle and mages should use quantum spike. Corsterix heals if you hit him with paradox flux, sometimes when you circle him and also if you happen to use the tango social on him.
