A while back, I made a topic about Visk on the official forums. This is what Vhalen replied with ~
Visk is a part of the EQII history books. I have spoken a bit about it and the mariners that were detached there, the Iron Guard. Here is a bit more about Visk:
Visk is a secret military outpost of the iksar Cabilisian Empire. It was secretly established in the end days of the Age of Turmoil. It was named after the legendary Visk, a.k.a. Vlsk, Irontail, a mariner monk who led the naval fleets called the Iron Guard during the rule of Emperor Rile. The entire community is comprised of iksar who serve in the current incarnation of the Iron Guard, even the minotaur conscripts. The iksar have sent a large detachment of troops and support to the _______. Here they have struck and alliance with a caste of minotaurs to assist in the construction of Visk. It is in this minotaur excavated complex that the iksar hoped to get a foothold of _____ and establish a base of operation with which to conquer the northern realms.
The present state of Visk has yet to be discovered. The Age of Destiny is centuries after the establishment of the outpost. The iksar could have remained strong and still hold this outpost or it could be abandoned, now haven for lurking beasts.
The Sloshed Kraken - This is a large tavern located in Visk. The design of the tavern accommodates the large crowds of drunken iksar mariners that unwind from duty in this dank tavern. There is a wall with a tapestry depicting the image of a kraken holding goblets of ale in each tentacle. The mezzanine has an archway connecting to an outdoor stone balcony that overlooks the sea. The bar has a storeroom behind it where ale is brewed and stored. There is also an archway that connects to the kitchen adjacent to the tavern.
The Iron Guard - The Iron Guard is an elite naval force and part of the military force called the Legion of Cabilis. They are an expeditionary force that contains a variety of castes to remain self-sufficient. They are very much like the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Forces.
Commander Vygan - Commander Vygan was a formidable Drill Master of the Legion of Cabilis. His numerous victories as a Warlord of the Outlands earned him the position of commander of the reformed elite Iron Guard. Commander Vygan's appointment to Iron Guard was a secret promotion as he served as a Drill Master within Fortress Talishan in Cabilis. He personally picked all the finest warriors to be placed within his Iron Guard. He also was sent mages, priests, shadowknights and tradesmen to induct into the secret brotherhood of the mariners that formed the Iron Guard. Eventually Commander Vygan and the new Iron Guard departed Kunark to begin their clandestine mission to establish a base within ______. Commander Vygan has numerous battle scars as well as a patch over his left eye.
