“You and your friends destroyed the newly created god, The Triumverate, causing an explosion that rocked Norrath and released the stolen power of fear. This power is returning to Norrath, falling from the sky in the form of crystalline shards. Who will gain control of the essence of fear? The Harbingers of Thule entreat you to gather the essence of their lost god before it falls into the hands of others. You will uncover the mysteries of the giant crystals that have fallen to Norrath. Explore newly discovered lands and revisit the frozen wastes of Velious. Battle old foes empowered by shards, confront them and reclaim the power of fear.”
That tasty bit of lore is from the newest Everquest expansion, Rain of Fear. Sony Online Entertainment’s 19th overall expansion is currently in beta, and needs people to test it out! Featuring new environments, more character custimization, new in-game items, and a new level cap of 100 (!), Everquest players should definitely check out this opportunity to get a head start on the new content.
