Stories behind the Skills?

Has anyone wonder what the stories behind the skills are? By now, most of GW players have encountered one skill or another named after an NPC or event. Have you ever wondered what the stories behind them are?

One set of skills that's always intrigued me are the "Verata" skills. I know that Verata created them. Quests in the Northern Shiverpeaks told me that much. But, how did the player get hold of them? Why are they suddenly availble to be learned?|||well, ive noticed that all skills with the word mark in it respond to damage|||skills were created by them gods >>

then it continued to be used and improved and added and "nerfed"

theres ur answer :D|||Perhaps those who invented the skills did teach them to others - or were imitated.

I�d guess, though, they taught them - I don�t think anyones ego could accept to invent a new skill and not boast about it...|||I wonder how the bosses learnt Elite Skills....|||Verata is the first Profession Trainer for necromancers before the Searing in GW:P


Quote:








Verata the Necromancer is a promising necromancer in Ascalon's necromantic order. Verata shows exceptional ability in the field of summoned minions. While Verata is undoubtably gifted, his lust for power has been known to lead him to commit attrocities against people in his bid for greater understanding. The necromantic order is most eager to keep any such indiscretions quiet, and as such, exact details would be hard to obtain unless one were to have necromantic inclinations.




And he is the objective of the 'Renegade Necromancer' quest

Dialogue

"As you've no doubt heard, there have been a number of recent disappearances among the townsfolk. Thus far, we've assumed they fell victim to the Stone Summit or other local menaces. The truth, Grenth forgive us, is something much much worse. One of our Order, a promising Necromancer named Verata, has been experimenting with new ways to enhance and maintain summoned minions. Normally this would be a good thing, however, in his lust for power Verata has been kidnapping Ascalon citizens for use in his experiments! He was also spotted waylaying travelers coming up into the mountains from Ascalon. We must stop him, quickly and discreetly, before anyone can link the disappearances with our Order."




So i'm guessing that the necromantic order took his knowledge and put it to use while distancing themselves from Verata's research (it's common practice in the real world...)|||bonnetti who can be found in post searing may also hav had some apprentices|||Trogdor! Ok, not really npc but still fun :p|||I love NPC skills, its always nice to have a little backstory to skills and bosses.

Its a pity the wonderful Oberan never released his secret minion army raising skills.|||Quote:

sum skills like "lyssa's balance" need to have a story behind it
