Vengeful Gods Expansion is Live

Today marks the launch of Vengeful Gods, the ninth Legends of Norrath expansion. The set offers more than 180 cards, including new spider mount loot cards for EverQuest and new mount variant loot cards for EverQuest II. Here's the description of the set straight from the Vengeful Gods site:

Two thousand years after the sacrifice of the Ethernauts, threats from the Void are still surfacing. Learning lessons from their past defeats, the Voidmen have now turned to a more nefarious scheme; destroy Norrath by cutting the people off from their Gods. As the five Travelers continue to investigate reports of Voidman activity, a plot to enslave the avatars of the gods is revealed. To save Norrath, the Travelers must battle against mind-controlled prophets and the manifestations of the gods themselves!

According to the Legends of Norrath events calendar, Vengeful Gods release events will be held from Feb. 26-28. All the details can be found after the jump.

Game Designer Evan Lorentz has written a preview article for Vengeful Gods, the ninth Legends of Norrath expansion that's scheduled to launch on Feb. 23. Lorentz says that the set is "designed as an evolution of Travelers, picking up the concepts introduced there and taking them in different directions."

Lorentz explains how the mechanics of Conquest, Shifting, Influence and Mark have have changed between Travelers and Vengeful Gods. The article contains all sorts of details on the mechanics, so be sure to check it out for more information. Are you looking forward to the new expansion?

Five event passes will get you entry into the holiday tournament and a surprise Legends of Norrath item. The items include promo cards, loot cards, booster packs, event passes and more. You can read the full list after the jump.

The first Tournament of the Gods event will be held this weekend in Legends of Norrath to give players a chance to obtain non-tradable "Gods" promo cards. As the title suggests, the new event allows players to become "Travelers" and interact with the Gods of Norrath.

Tournaments will be held on Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. PDT. The event is free to enter and is open to international players. Everyone who participates will automatically get one of the following "Gods" promo cards: Innoruuk, Karana, Solusek Ro and Tunare. Any player who wins two or more games during the course of a given tournament will also receive a second promo card.
