Talk:Undead Prince Rurik

This guy drops the Decayed Orr Emblem like all the other undead under the command of the Lich Lord. I think this proves that drops are not 100% the deciding factor, because we all know that Rurik is not Orrian, never been to Orr and never wore any Orrian outfits so that his emblem would be decayed to begin with. I am not saying our system is completely groundless, I am just saying that this is a significant precedent in proving that sometimes ANet puts a creature in a specific racial/political group just so that he acquires the properties of that group, not because he actually belongs to them. --Karlos 14:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

"The Undead Prince, while conscious of who the players are "
anyone tried the mission with Canthan characters yet? -PanSola 09:39, 13 May 2006 (CDT)
 * bumping my question. Will Rurik "recognze" the players if it is a pure canthan party? - 16:40, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

when it says "The Undead Prince, while conscious of who the players are and the mockery that the Lich Lord made of him, is unable to disobey, as he is, like all undead, bound to the will of the one animating his corpse." is that why undead minions only disobey their master when he is dead and if so would killing lich grant rurik his freedom?
 * Probably. He'd still be rotting and smelly though. Bubbinska 22:10, 26 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes, but in this case "freedom" is the freedom to die. So although his body would decomposing, Rurik would no longer be imprisoned in it.  Perhaps that is part of the reason the Deldrimor Dwarves cremate their dead: so their bodies could never be exploited. Euler278 22:57, 11 October 2006 (CDT)
