Game Update Highlights for March 10, 2010
The March 10th Game Update launches the Convorteum Underfoot zone, brings improvements to Underfoot rare spawns, raids, abilities, stats, and more!
Underfoot - Unfolding the Lore: Convorteum
The Underfoot works much like a massive factory, each creature working selflessly as one of many moving parts of a great machine. All of the beings of the Underfoot were happy with their tasks, until Brell's First Creation started spreading his heresy. The Convorteum is a secluded area of the Underfoot that is the home of the First Creation and the heart of the conspiracy against Brell.

Legends of Norrath: Vengeful Gods
Learning lessons from their past defeats, the Voidmen have turned to a more nefarious scheme; destroy Norrath by cutting the people off from their Gods. As the five Travelers continue to investigate reports of Voidman activity, a plot to enslave the avatars of the gods is revealed. To save Norrath, the Travelers must battle against mind-controlled prophets and the manifestations of the gods themselves!
Vengeful Gods offers over 180 beautifully illustrated cards including the new keyword Mark and new ways to Shift cards, new gameplay, a new created Ratonga avatar, and of course new loot for EverQuest and EverQuest II. Look for 10 new single-player scenarios with rewards as part of the Vengeful Gods campaign.
Let the battles begin!

On the Town of: Neriak - Part 1
Every Neriak is a dark beautiful city carved out of the very bones of the earth, deep under the forest of Nektulos. The multileveled tunnels that make up the basic connecting structure of Neriak were originally carved by meandering underground rivers that sprang from Lake Neriuss when its levels were higher. Later, they were widened and carved into a beautiful, dark, secret city by the magic of the dark elves, named in their own language as "Teir'Dal."
