Ok a quest that was added recently called 'Path of the Propeht' had an interesting bit about the Shissar. Here is the text from it.
Eva Corunno'thes, "You've made it at last! The Rite of Renewal is completed. What have your remembered, ancient one?"
Kurista, "I remember everything now, princess. I recall the time before the Dream Ring, when I was but a speck of life, unaware of myself."
Eva Corunno'thes, "Thats is when Tunare spoke to you."
Kurista, "Yes. One day early in that life, I came to rest in the palm of her hand, and she laughed and whispered to me. "You are precious!" She said, and then I know who I was."
Eva Corunno'thes, "You were the first Fae! What was it like, in that time?"
Kurista, "It was joyous! i danced and Soared across the forest, spreading her message to the flowers, the trees, and the animals. Before I knew it, there were other fae. they surrounded me like children, and I told them all how precious they were, and they became aware. That was Eons ago. Long before we became the beings you see today."
Eva Corunno'thes, "Amazing! Then you remember everything. What of the Forgotten prophecies? There is a message you must give me, about the prohecy be both dreamed of."
Kurista, "Yes. In another life, still many rings ago, I was called upon by Queen elizerain to hear a prophecy. She showed me her jewel of knowledge, imbued with runes of the Nameless, the Lifeguide. She told me how one day it would be lost and I would find it."
Eva Corunno'thes, "You mean you have it?!"
Kurista, "I do. But the Lifeguide is part of your destiny, not mine. You are one of the Champions who must restore the balance which mortals and gods have destoryed. Now take this stone and throw off your disguise, for only the chosen of Tunare can wield it!"
Eva Corunno'thes turns into Firona Vie after taking the stone.
Firona Vie, "Hail. thanks to your help, Kurista has found her calling, and now I know what I must do."
You, "What is Kurista's calling?"
Firona Vie, "Kurista shall assume mu previous role as Propeht of Growath. it is now my duty to once again walk Norrath as the Tunare's Chosen, and champion the cause of balence."
You, "What will you do next?"
Firona Vie, "I have heard rumors that my old adventuring companion, Al'Kabor, lives once more. i must Confer with him about prophecy. Now That I have the Lifeguide once more, we will be able to unravel the riddle of the Shissar Calendar."
You, "Alright. What now?"
Firona Vie, "I wish that I could do more for you, but I must make haste. The Beast of Ages' end will not stand idly by while we prepare to battle him."
You, "I understand."
*A small display of Firona Vie appointing Kursita the new propeht of Growth and this bascily ends the quest. Giving you the title of: Scion of Growth.*
I did a bit of research which was not easy to find but I did find information from Johe's post in EQ2 flames. Which is an awesome post but here is what I found about the Shissar Calenadr:
The Chamber of Destiny:
In the lost shissar city of Chelsith rests a vault built to hide one of the greatest creations on Norrath, the Shissar Calendar. This ancient calendar was built to foretell the fate of Norrath. The shissar used the calendar to foretell the death of their empire. Their attempts to combat that fate and save the shissar race failed. However, one of their creations, a great stone machine, did succeed in containing a small portion of the deadly force that destroyed the Shissar Empire. A small portion of that evil force is more than enough to slay an entire kingdom. Fortunately, a device of great destruction has a guardian of great destruction. The creature that dwells here has done so for ages and for ages it has been transforming its environment, covering much of the secrets of the shissar including a portion of the Shissar Calendar.
