Best of the Best: A Blast from the Past? by Thayos

The latest installment of Underfoot's Unfolding the Lore series is out and fills us in on Kernagir, The Shining City:

Kernagir, The Shining City

Kernagir is also known as the Shining City, where the chosen of Brell Serilis go to live out eternity in Underfoot. It was constructed by the finest craftspeople of Norrath to serve and glorify Brell.

While other races have occasionally been granted access, Kernagir is mainly inhabited by dwarves, Coldain, gnomes, goblins, gnolls and other craftsmen of several trades. The highest tier of denizens in the city are the designers and architects, those whose inspirations and ideas fill the worlds of Brell's creatures with incredible innovations. With unlimited natural resources at their disposal and unlimited time to work with them, these crafters are free for their creative pursuits.

The latest part in Underfoot's Unfolding the Lore series is out and centers in on Lichen Creep:

Lichen Creep

Lichen Creep is a lava-veined cavern that has been slowly mined out over eons for the valuable levitating stone ore that is used to power various creations in the Underfoot. Narrow veins of lava wend their way through the cavern floor and walls, occasionally forming small lava pools and giving the entire area a molten orange glow.

The journey into the depth of Underfoot continues at ZAM this week. We've seen some frightening screenshots from the Pellucid Grotto and couldn't help but be a bit horrified by the insectoid Cliknar. This week, we search the cavernous maw known as the Lichen Creep, and come away with a new respect for the plant-like substance. We have exclusive images from the zone, so if you want a sneak peek, click below.

With their latest expansion the EverQuest team is looking to drive adventurers into the very depths of Norrath to see what horrors and monstrosities lie beneath the bedrock of this fantastic world. Luckily, any potential heroes and heroines can get a nice sneak peek of their future hunting grounds here at ZAM, as the staffers have posted eleven exclusive new screenshots to showcase the variety of creatures lurking in the gloomy depths.

We've already seen quite a selection of the Underfoot realms these past few months, so make sure you check out all of the exclusive images here at ZAM.

The latest part in Underfoot's Unfolding the Lore series is out and centers in on Arthicrex, the hive of those troublesome cliknars we've been battling over the past few weeks.

Arthicrex

Built by a race of ant-like creatures known as the Cliknar, Arthicrex is the great anthill of the Underfoot. The interior of Arthicrex itself is composed of winding circular tunnels and circular rooms, built from mud and trimmed with stone and chitin. Cliknar live crowded in spaces that most species would find confining.

The sixth part of Underfoot's "Unfolding the Lore" series is out and centers around the Cooling Chambers:

The Cooling Chambers

Water, boiling from the lava that is the life's blood of the Underfoot, pours into the Cooling Chambers from a sinkhole in Brell's Rest. The water is cooled by Brell's servants as it flows through the chambers and eventually grows cold enough to turn to ice. This water can be sent to other realms during its cooling stages, as needed.

The main population of the Cooling Chambers is a group of Coldain (Ice Dwarves) that are perpetually cooling the water that flows away from the central core, by means of a series of endothermic reactions. The ice is used to keep a massive necromantic beast frozen in a jagged glacial iceberg floating in the lower lake.

The fifth installment of Underfoot's "Unfolding the Lore" series is out and centers in on the Foundation:

The Foundation

The Foundation is where mountains are "born." In the early days, Brell created stone giants known as the Genari and charged them with raising mountains all over the multiverse. But his personal interest in this form of sometimes destructive creation waned, and now the Genari do their endless, tireless work with little help from their creator... not that they complain.

The fourth part of Underfoot's "Unfolding the Lore" series is out and focuses on Brell's Arena:

Brell's Arena

Located just off Brell's Rest, Brell's Arena is a small battleground that was created by Brell Serilis to allow the gnolls and kobolds to "play" a vicious game known as the Boomerang Brawl. This unusual game is run by Gilbot the Magnificent, a gnomework creation of Brell.
