Asherah is the first memorial NPC of Sunset Home. She roams around the outside of the building.

In addition to her prompts of "tell story" and "continue", she also gives a quest to collect the stories of the other memorial NPCs, the reward being your own torch to carry.

You say, 'Hail, Asherah the Torch Bearer'

Asherah the Torch Bearer says 'Greetings welcome to Sunset House, enjoy your stay, and the solace that our home provides. I am Asherah the Torch Bearer guardian of this realm, if you ever need me or want to chat I can be found patrolling the grounds, I stand watch over all who come to this place, and my special friends who live within this house.

You say, 'Tell me your story.'

Asherah the Torch Bearer says 'Asherah had the unfortunate distinction of being the first memorial NPC, While she was Asherah in EverQuest, in real life she was known as Grace, though her friends just called her "Gams." She had earned her PhD from the University of Florida and worked as a research chemist. She hoped that this would assist her in finding a cure to a genetic metabolic disorder she had been born with. Unfortunately, it was not to be and on September 24th, 1999, at the age of 25, she lost her life to it.'

Asherah the Torch Bearer says 'Asherah was promoted to Guide in June of 1999 and was assigned to Rallos Zek. When Vallon Zek opened, she transferred to it, so as to help get it off to a great start. She spent almost 35 hours a week between Guiding and playing, and always loved to spend time with the people that make EverQuest run behind the scenes, the Guides She showed us that there is alot more to life, and why spend time self-absorbed when you can make other people happy, and in turn become truly happy yourself, even when all odds are against you. Asherah embodied what we all should strive for in ourselves... Dedication, Appreciation of Life and the satisfaction you can find in helping others.'

Her text, at the time I was there, cuts off. I hope now they have it fixed.

You are missed Asherah, by many.

Peace and many Fair Journeys

Wasn't this the mob named for the early EQ Guide who died?

From what I recall, an avatar was made of her Guide toon and placed as a memento morii in CSHome to welcome new Guides/GMs henceforth.

That's pretty damn cool.
