This document is very special. Let me explain.

I know this is hard to believe, but I had dinner a few years ago with the boyfriend of one of the original EQ art designers. He got very drunk and started telling me about how all the Devs used to hide secrets scattered around Norrath...all having clues to a seemingly unrelated final quest, to end the ever quest.

The last clue was never found, but he told me before passing out that "he would hate to be behind such a secret." I always thought he was just jibber jabbering on, but now it makes sense. Get it? "he would HATE to be BEHIND such a secret"???

I now believe he was giving me a clue to find the last piece of the quest. If I am right, then on the back of your map---written in invisible ink---is the location of the final clue. All that is needed is a reagent and a little heat to uncover it.

All we need to do is break into the SOE building in San Diego and gain access to their archived documents vault.

My friends and I have joked for years about what the final reward might be. I personally believe it the location of Brad McQuaid's drug stash, but most I've spoken to seem to think it is an item of incomparable beauty and power.

PM me for the details.

The letters are just building names. Buildings A-X or whatever should he need to refer to the location of anything.

This is very classic. I approve. Now we just need 12hr Maestro.
