EverQuest: The Broken Mirror (2015)
Introduction
EverQuest: The Broken Mirror is the twenty-second expansion to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) EverQuest. It was released on December 15, 2015, and is the first expansion to be released since the game went free-to-play in 2012. The Broken Mirror introduces a new zone, The Shadowed Isle, as well as a new storyline, new dungeons, and new raids.
The Story
The story of The Broken Mirror begins with the shattering of the Mirror of Life, an ancient artifact that has long been hidden away in the depths of the Shadowed Isle. The shattering of the mirror has caused a rift to open between the mortal realm and the Shadowed Isle, allowing the forces of darkness to spill into the world.
Players must travel to the Shadowed Isle and find a way to repair the Mirror of Life before the forces of darkness can overrun the mortal realm. Along the way, they will encounter new allies and enemies, and learn more about the history of the Shadowed Isle and the Mirror of Life.
The Shadowed Isle
The Shadowed Isle is a large, sprawling zone that is home to a variety of new creatures and challenges. The zone is divided into several different areas, each with its own unique look and feel.
One of the most striking things about the Shadowed Isle is its dark and oppressive atmosphere. The zone is constantly shrouded in darkness, and the air is thick with the smell of decay. The trees are gnarled and twisted, and the ground is littered with the bones of the dead.
The Shadowed Isle is home to a variety of new creatures, including undead, demons, and dragons. These creatures are all extremely powerful, and players will need to be well-prepared before venturing into the zone.
New Dungeons and Raids
The Broken Mirror introduces two new dungeons and one new raid. The dungeons are both designed for groups of six players, while the raid is designed for groups of 24 players.
The first dungeon, The Sanctum of the Lost, is a dark and dangerous place that is home to a variety of undead creatures. The dungeon culminates in a battle with the undead dragon, Xalgoz.
The second dungeon, The Temple of the Damned, is a sprawling complex that is home to a variety of demons. The dungeon culminates in a battle with the demon lord, Mephistopheles.
The new raid, The Throne of the Dead, is a massive dungeon that is home to a variety of undead creatures and demons. The raid culminates in a battle with the undead king, Nagafen.
