I sure hope we get to hang out with Deekin again. I miss that dude.

I had thought about it and realized that it would have to be a descendant.
I never thought of him as Jar Jar binks, he was a pretty pivotal part of
all my single player NPC parties.
Deekin, you will be missed by those of us who loved you.
This gives me a great idea for a Foundry module though ;D

If he does make it through I'm going to feed him to a gelatinous cube.
I posted about the timeline a while back, long story short, my findings conclude that the date for Neverwinter Online will be either in or shortly after 1479 DR.
P.S. Love your avatar.
I also really loved Deekin and hope that he has descendants somewhere still in or around Neverwinter that we can meet and interact with. Unless someone else feels like it first, I'll do some research on Deekin sometime tomorrow and see if I can find out his fate.

One of the Campaigns I have in preliminary writing (just notes of possible events at this point really) will be dealing with time and planar travel and I did want to take players back to Neverwinter during the NWN1 & 2 timeline, so maybe I'll throw him in for a little bit of nostalgia or humor too.
I would love to play in a mission though that deals iwth him specifically but I doubt I'll be one to create one for such. If I do, it would probably be much later after I get all the things I have envisioned done. 2013 cannot come soon enough!!!

That would've meant Deekin was only a kid during the events of NWN1 and NWN2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe NWN1 was set in DR1368 (Deekin would've been 10) and NWN2 in DR1372 (14). Rather young to be trading on the streets, don't you think?
I think i have a pretty good premise going based on the lore. We'll see. Once the game launches and I get the module
into the foundry I'll post it to this thread ;D
Deekin was a kobold, they don't have the same aging process as humans. They're more like cats and dogs in the regard of maturity. By 9 years old, they are considered mature adults. However, once they reach adult-hood, their draconic blood takes in and they age slower. As such, they can live upwards of 130+ years and are considered "great wyrm" age, due to their draconic heritage.
Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Oh yes, I found some information that now rings a bell when I played HotU. Our poor Deekin is indeed dead. At the end of HotU we learn that he returns to his tribe and becomes their chief then makes the first human and kobold community in the realm. He later dies but his legacy continues on a new generation of scalesingers.

The 4e Forgotten Realms Players Guide says We don't have any proof that NWO takes place at the immediate start of 4e continuity but everything simply says "one hundred years" which I take to be a rounding off.
Shadows of Undrentide, Deekin's first appearance, was "shortly after the events of NWN", that being the Wailing Death which occurred in 1372-1373. He would've been young but mature, for kobolds would be about 10 years old. So he'd be at least 121 years old now, which is Great Wyrm status, but most kobolds only make 50. As I've already said Kobolds only live up to 135 years so there isn't much margin for error here, for instance if he were older or the game is a few years after. As a note, Deekin isn't Dragonwrought because he only acquires wings once he's progressed into Red Dragon Disciple, which grants all creatures wings. It could be argued that he found some way to artificially extend his life but with the spellplague I wouldn't bet on anything.
Thanks for commenting on my avatar, I didn't make it though, i got it here. You can get it as a t-shirt
You also need to check the Salvatore Novels which detail this as well.
As for DR, it's been made clear due to development for the game pre MMO that it will take place in the timeline area of the NW campaign guide. Whether just before during or after we can't say. I don't recall if they list a DR in that book or not when it is running also.
Someone mentioned SoU, and that campaign may provide away to "bring back" Deekin, if my memory serves me right. My recollection is that there was one point where Deekin and my character were turned to stone, and a considerable bit of time past before we were returned to flesh again. Point in fact, I seem to recall that it was for about 100 years that we were "statutes". Anyone else remember Deekins aversion to pigeons as much as to a certain Dragon? Deekin was nothing, if not resourceful, and was always finding a way to survive. Even it was from unexpected, and distasteful, ways and means. Again, my memory is a bit aged and uncertain, so corrections will always be taken with grace.
You may have a point there.
I think Deekin is gone 'cause he reincarnated as Dubba!
Kobold kobold!

[Translation:
Yeah I hope I see Deekin again and listen to his songs
As for age, spellplague had an effect on certain characters which got entrapped in time-capsules for years. No one knows when this capsules will open - they say when they open up, shards of crystal dust start falling off them.
Between those time capsules, they don't age - its like a deep freeze.]

What the hell am I saying? it's one word I'm saying over and over! Wait, I've done this before....

(What the hell is this anyway? One of the best damn parodies about the Roleplaying game...and it's not continuing until June/July 2013, so go ahead and watch all fifty episodes, or spread them out...or pine for the game funded on kickstarter about it!)
