Kerafyrm - The Sleeper
Kerafyrm, "The Sleeper", is a dragon boss in the original "The Sleeper's Tomb" zone.
While sleeping, Kerafyrm is guarded by four ancient dragons (warders) in "The Sleeper's Tomb". When all four dragons are defeated by players and are dead at the same time, The Sleeper awakes, triggering a rampage of death. Kerafyrm travels through and into multiple zones from The Sleeper's Tomb to Skyshrine, killing every player and NPC in his path. This event is unique in EverQuest, because it can only occur once on each game server. Once The Sleeper awakes, neither he nor the original guardians will ever appear again on that server, unless the event is reset by SOE.
As of 14 April 2008, Kerafyrm remains asleep only on the Al'Kabor (Macintosh) server.
Originally intended to be unkillable, SOE prevented a group from potentially killing him because of a potential bug. SOE later apologized for interfering, and allowed the players to retry the encounter.
"Kerafyrm The Awakened" appears in the expansion Secrets of Faydwer as part of a raid event "Crystallos, Lair of the Awakened" in the instanced zone of "Crystallos."
