Cataclysms Have Shattered Norrath

Norrath has plunged into darkness, but life and honor cling tenaciously. Hope for renewal rests with the brave, the wise, and the adventurous. But others wish Norrath to suffer exquisitely. The time of its remaking is nigh. Through pain and power, chaos will sear the world so that the fierce and the visionary may rise to rule.

The World’s Most-Popular Game Setting is Reborn

EverQuest II is the continuing story of the hugely successful online gaming phenomenon. The online version is setting new standards in MMORPGs and likewise the new EverQuest II Player's Guide creates a new standard.

Sixteen races, 28 character classes, and a new Norrath will appeal to gaming veterans as well as a whole new generation of gamers.

Arcane Power and Martial Prowess

Wizards like Al’Kabor know that some are limited only by their mortal years in the quest to accumulate power and knowledge. Spellcasters like Miragul are not content that death be a boundary separating them from the gods. Still others, like the kobold shaman Rolfron Zek, literally become gods. Similar legends tell of astounding abilities gained by a select few who follow martial paths as well. Discover herein the powers that set such individuals apart.

Ultra-Epic Levels!

The first EQrpg sourcebook intended entirely for players since Al’Kabor’s Arcana, Heroes of Norrath presents a wealth of material and options for the all the game’s character classes, including rules for advancement to 35th level and spells of greater than 15th level.

The goddess Luclin has lifted the veil that hid her moon. Granted access to this wondrous lunar world, the races of Norrath encounter the legacy of the Combine Empire that once united Norrath; face the awesome power of the Shissar race who dared challenge the gods themselves; and discover the fate of the cat people of Odus. Luclin discusses the moon of Norrath in detail, including its peoples and cities, its dangers, dark secrets and treasures.

It's Your Moon Now!

After generations of failed attempts, the means to reach the mysterious Moon of Luclin is once again at hand. But beware -- there are dangers beyond reckoning on Luclin, those created by the Maiden of Shadows herself as well as those that have made the moon their home-in-exile after escaping from Norrath. These are the enemies you must defeat if you wish to claim the awesome artifacts of Luclin as your own.

100% Compatible with 3rd Edition Fantasy Role-Playing Rules

Adventures on Luclin are suited to characters of all levels, and the monsters and villains contained herein reflect this fact.

To the Dragon Lords of the Temple of Veeshan

Great Magic Allows Entry

Powerful wizards may travel to the Plane of Hate, home of the creator of the dark elves — Innoruuk, the Prince of Hate. Adored by evil beings across the face of Norrath and beyond, Innoruuk relishes every instance of vengeance he can inflict on the followers of the gods who excluded him when they created the elder races. There are some heroes who would travel to his very realm to weaken, or even destroy, him. Even evil individuals seek to challenge Innoruuk and prove that their unreasoning hatred applies even to the god they hold dear.

Innoruuk Denies Return

Innoruuk has redesigned the entire Plane of Hate to confound the foes that seek him there. This sourcebook details the entire plane and includes several quests. Be warned: great dangers await!

The Forest is Love, Dark and Deep...

... and the orcs of Crushbone have promises to keep. Namely, doing more than just carving out a home for themselves in a forest swarming with elves, faeries, giant wasps, and spiders -- and other, darker things as well.

Emperor Crushbone is intent on claiming the whole of Faydark. Forget the two elven cities, Kelethin of the wood elves and Felwithe of the high elves. Pay no heed to the rangers and the druids who protect these woods, as well as the mysterious arboreans. These things may be of little concern, for it is rumored that the orcs have forged an alliance. Is it with the clandestine cult known as the Unseen, hidden within the Hills of Shadw? With the dark elf vampire lord Mayong Mistmoore himself? Some elves are concerned enough that they seek visions of the future in the waters of Elizerain Lake... but the images there are more troubling still.

The latest in the 'Realms of Norrath' series, Forests of Faydark details the central regions of the Faydwer continent, including Greater and Lesser Faydark, the Hills of Shade, and Elizerain Lake, as well as two elven cities and the orc stronghold of Crushbone. This vast amount of source material allows for innumerable stories and adventures, but one ready-to-run adventure is also included: 'The Barrow of Aataltaal.'

The Master Shares His Knowledge

Across the whole of Norrath and its moon Luclin, the Erudite wizard Al'Kabor is synonymous with the search for mysteries of the past and an understanding of the ways of ancient magic. He has cataloged hundreds of magic items created by the many ancient races of Norrath. His records are now yours!

This volume contains information not only on scores of magic items and trade skill items from the online world of EverQuest, but also many more known previously only to Al'Kabor himself. Also included are rules for creating magic items, as well as guidelines for converting items from online for use in your own game. And finally, dozens of spells - all completely new to Norrath - round out the awesome arcana available within.

Deep Within a Watery Grave

In the center of western Faydwer is a vast calderas named after the dwarven lord Dagnor. The greatest mortal wizard of Norrath — Phinigel Autropos, the sole surviving member of the kedge race — took Dagnor’s mighty hammer to a city beneath the waves. At least, Phinigel was mortal once. Some wonder if he might be responsible for his race’s destruction… as well as other dark deeds, including the curse that befouled the dwarven estate called Unrest.

The Last of the Kedge Race

This book focuses on western Faydwer, including the gateway to the continent, the dwarven city of Kaladim. The surrounding Butcherblock Mountains are also covered, as well as two dungeon settings that surround Dagnor’s Cauldron: the Estate of Unrest and Kedge Keep.

This core-setting book based on the incredibly popular Everquest online RPG, includes information on the land and inhabitants of many regions of Antonica, including the dungeon of Permafrost Peak, the City of Halas and the Everfrost peaks themselves.

This book also includes a never before seen portion of Norrath - the dungeon of Miragul's Menagerie. The lich Miragul is not content to wander the frozen caves of Everfrost Peaks, and the designers of Everquest feel the same. This new dungeon has never been showcased... until now!!

In through the Gates

As one of the largest cities in Norrath, and the gateway from the continent of Antonica to Faydwer to the east, Freeport abounds with adventure. From intrigue within as the paladins of North Freeport face off against the supposedly corrupt guardsmen who control the remainder of city, to the threats from all the nearby regions (tribes of orcs, the dark elf city of Neriak and more), Freeport is the crossroads that heroes seek.

Out through the Sewers

This first setting sourcebook for the EverQuest® Roleplaying Game contains a map and description of the entire city of Freeport, from the docks in the east to the areas of worship in the north to the wizard guilds nestled squarely in the city’s center. Also included are descriptions for scores of NPCs, ideas for dozens of adventures and much more.

As Near Lord Nagafen You Dare Step

The mouths of two caverns are set in a cliff edge overlooking an enormous lake of lava. Actually, the caverns are not mouths so much as a pair of eyes… each glaring across the lava to the entrance of the fabled Temple of Solusek Ro. Even those adventurers daring enough to enter that temple know that dark and dangerous forces hide behind each eye, including the dragon Nagafen himself.

Out of the Pot, Into the… Lava?!

Solusek’s Eye contains adversaries aplenty — including the environment itself! This adventure sourcebook details this dungeon’s many dangers, from the fire and lava goblins and their enormous keep, to the fire giant wizards, sonic bats and death beetles that guard a dragon’s lair.

Fire Birthed the World

At the edge of a great caldera of boiling magma in the Lavastorm Mountains is the Temple of Solusek Ro, the Burning Prince. Do not look for greetings from the fiery efreet who guards the entrance, for you shall lose face with those who dwell within. They believe, as does their god, that the powerful can - and should - take what they desire. They dare you to confront the challenges they present. Succeed, and your rewards shall be great.

Fire Shall Consume It

This supplement contains two items of equal importance: a 48- page adventure of quests and related rewards - including magical armor special to each character class - and a Gamemaster screen with essential charts for running a fantasy roleplaying game - including information specific to the EverQuest Roleplaying Game.

Saviors will bring justice and peace to the world, they say. The Cult of the Illuminated believes, and serves the Gold Faction of Sidereals, protecting young Solar Exalted from the depredations of the Wyld Hunt and the Bronze Faction.
