Scorched Sky Celebrations Are Back!
 
The pyres of the Scorched Sky Celebration have been ignited once more, and worshipers of Fennin Ro and his son, Solusek Ro, can be found celebrating their gods across all of Norrath!
 
During this special celebration, the devotees of Flame are offering a chance for all to rejoice in the primal power of Fire and Flame, with no grudge towards those who have embraced other deities. They believe that within the flames all mettle is tempered, both literally and figuratively. That which is weak, distracting, and fleeting will be burned away in battles against fire elementals, leaving only the strong, pure, and resilient.
 
From Wednesday, June 26, 2019 at 12:01 AM PT until Monday, July 8, 2019 at 11:59 PM PT, you'll be able to join the devotees of Flame for this fiery celebration.

Hail, almighty Norrathans!

Summer is upon us and we've got updates for you! We are all really excited for what's coming this year, including the 15th Anniversary of EverQuest II and our expansion. And we've got plenty coming up between now and then!


Legendary Ethereal Item Drops and New Expert Dungeons!

This summer, play in new Expert versions of the heroic dungeons in the Chaos Descending expansion for awesome lewtz! It’s a good idea to use this opportunity to get leveled up for...reasons…too!

Check out this Fabled item from an Expert dungeon:

You also may want to look for some best-in-slot items in the Chaos Descending Public Quests as of the June 18th Game Update too. Vagueness intended. Both the Chaos Descending Public Quests and Expert Dungeons begin June 18, 2019. 

Here's a look at a couple of the tasty Ethereal armor items dropping this summer.  Whoa.

Nagafen PVP Server Seasons

The first Nagafen PVP Server Season 1 will come to an end on June 18, 2019, with the Game Update and will kick off its Season 2 on July 16, 2019. The team will be making some changes and tweaks based on Season 1, so keep an eye out from posts from the team as we move along!

During this special celebration, the devotees of Flame are offering a chance for all to rejoice in the primal power of Fire and Flame, with no grudge towards those who have embraced other deities.

Expansion Tidbits. Like, Itty Bitty Bits

It’s definitely a little early to be talking about the expansion, but we can tell you it’s a good idea to level up your characters over summer and fall with our leveling-up events!

Yep, we are doing a 10-level increase this year with our expansion. We also have some new features we're excited to talk about when we get into the nitty gritty of the expansion this fall, including the lore and location...and it's a familiar one if you know EQ.

Nope, no more on that. Guess all you like. You might get lucky.

Getting Together

We are still working on planning a fan event (now probably next year to give EverQuest and EverQuest II fans and guilds time to prepare and plan). We’ll have some questions to ask the community about who might be interested in joining us for a weekend fan event, focused on the them, with Q&As, roundtables, and activities for gamers and roleplayers. Fun stuff!

We’ll start rolling out some questions and surveys as we move forward!


Sincerely, as always, friends,
Holly “Windstalker” Longdale

Hail, brave heroes of Norrath!

A mystery of celestial proportion threatens the order in the Elemental Planes, and chaos looms.

Balance must be restored. Norrathians, return to the Planes of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth as you have never seen them before. Gain new strengths, learn new abilities, and hold your own in battle against the Planes' ceaseless denizens and their masters.

Will you be strong enough to defeat the gods upon the elemental thrones?
