The game was released in 2003, fresh off the heels of the Planes of Power and Gates of Discord expansions in EQ. This game differed from the original in that it allowed you to defect to the evil side early on, although this changed surprisingly little in regard to gameplay or storyline, the only notable variables being which final boss you fought and which side you're on in an optional dungeon in one of two Norrath-bound regions in the game. You have the option of importing characters from the previous installment and it seems as if the game was designed with the assumption that players would be doing this, despite claims to the contrary. The final level is part of EQ, but In Name Only, as it's visual settings are completely different.Ĭhampions of Norrath also received a 2005 sequel, Champions: Return to Arms, in which your character (along with other players) is called into the outer planes by Firiona Vie, champion of nature goddess Tunare, to defend the cosmos against an alliance of evil gods attempting to resurrect Innoruuk, the God of Hate who you killed in the first game. Other than Kelethin and the Faydark Forest, the entire game takes place in a portion of Norrath that doesn't exist in the main games. EQ's Series Mascot character, Firiona Vie, later shows up as a prominent part of the storyline. The game is separated into five chapters, and takes a major twist after the first, which culminates in your first encounter with the orc general, Pelys, who isn't what he seems. The available choices are Barbarian Warrior, Erudite Wizard, High Elf Cleric, Wood Elf Ranger and Dark Elf Shadowknight. You (and whatever people you're playing alongside if you've selected multiplayer mode) heed this call as one of five customizable race/class choices, each of which are highly customizable. Leithkorias, King of the Wood Elves, calls out for champions to defend the land. ![]() Its plot involves an alliance of orcs and goblins, once enemies, laying siege to Faydwer, the continent of elvenkind at this point in Norrathian history. This would make it a Prequel, except that this game is an Alternate Continuity that only loosely takes concepts, characters, and settings from the main series. Champions of Norrath is an 2004 Action RPG on the Playstation 2 set in the world of the EverQuest MMO series, roughly three hundred years prior to the original EverQuest. ![]()
