The lore of the EverQuest series has been a source of entertainment for a vast number of players throughout the years. From the shining sword of Mithaniel Marr to the horrible deeds of Cazic Thule, the history of Norrath is rife with faithful friends and fiendish foes. When SOE Denver's Legends of Norrath online trading card game was originally released, it was apparent that the developers had really taken their time to explore the lore of this epic series.
Cards like "Fippy Darkpaw" and "Nagafen" resonated with longtime EQ lovers. With their fifth expansion – dubbed "Ethernauts" – the LoN developers have delved even deeper into that rich lore to produce their cards. Recently, Ten Ton Hammer had the opportunity to sit down with Evan Lorentz and discuss this upcoming expansion.
GamingShogun interviews Producer Tom Lischke regarding the upcoming Legends of Norrath: Ethernauts.
From the interview:
"Q) It has been said that Ethernauts begins a new storyline in the Legends of Norrath saga. What can you tell us about it?
A) The upcoming EverQuest II expansion, The Shadow Odyssey, will have players retrace the steps of ancient legendary heroes who are only spoken of as rumors and myth. The Legends of Norrath storyline for this year (Sets 5, 6, and 7) tells the story of what actually happened with those characters. These characters are called The Ethernauts, and we've had a lot of fun providing players a first look. In a lot of ways, this block of new LoN sets starts as a prequel to the EQII expansion, and by the end of the block it will evolve into an epilogue."
GamingShogun writes, "Here is a nifty exclusive for you! We were sent a pack of images showing off some of the new loot cards in the upcoming Legends of Norrath expansion: Ethernauts. Ethernauts is due out sometime this month (unofficially, we are hearing that some more information about the expansion will be released very soon), the expansion adds over 280 new cards as well as a new storyline for players to explore..."
