    Earlier this week, SOE pushed EverQuest II's Game Update 45 to the servers. Along with letting you take quests you had out-leveled and still give achievement experience for them, extra bank slots, and the complete revamp of the Coercer class, the update introduced Rodcet Nife, the god of healing. Quests to spread the good news throughout Norrath were offered but in the evil city of Gorowyn, darker forces prevail.There, the god of disease, Bertoxxulous, incites his minions to fight against the god of healing with pestilence, death and disease. Yes, it's not easy to sow evil in the fields of good, but worry not. We've been to Gorowyn and done all the nasty deeds so you don't have to. Follow along as we carry on Bert's evil work, infect relatives, assassinate healers, and in general, be real bastards. How to ruin someone's day in three easy lessons! %Gallery-22819%

    Once a year, on the anniversary of EverQuest's launch, the gods and monsters long past their prime are given new vigor and power and are reborn as Fabled versions of themselves. For one month only, they are powerful enough to challenge even the greatest of guilds, and drop much more powerful versions of their old treasure. This year, SOE en-fables (mmm is that a word?) the Planes of Power. All the old gods, defeated and forgotten, are back with renewed strength, from the Queen of Nightmares, Terris Thule, who has no mouth and cannot scream; to the four-headed dragon that guards the fabric of reality itself, Quarm.Along with the Fabled critters themselves, SOE is publishing the stories of how they came to be. This week: how the minions of Bertoxxulous came to find themselves in the the pestilent Crypt of Decay. Come back each week as SOE reveals the lore behind each zone until the reawakening of the Plane of Time itself.
