Lore of Everquest: The Creation of Norrath - Part 1

Authors Notes:
This creation story is a combination of the Beta Lore and the Official EQ Lore which can be found here everquest.alla... & web.archive.or... . In most cases I went with the BETA Lore as the story it tells more closely matches that of the world of EQ that we as the players experience, it also does a better job of explaining some things that the "official" lore does not cover. The "official" EQ lore pages are no longer available outside of The Wayback Machine so I am unsure if they are even considered canon anymore by the current owners of Everquest..
This ALSO ignores all retcons provided from Seeds of Destruction and beyond content.

I played Everquest for years and I had no idea... Rathe = Earth Fenin Ro = Inferno Tarew = Water E'Ci = Ice Povar = Vapor Xegony = Oxygen

Once a year I pray to Innoruk for new lore videos about EQ. I have been a loyal Tier'dal and have been rewarded.

[@Slayheim]

This is amazing, thank you! I’m on that EQ nostalgia trip. Subbed

[@EQOAnostalgia]

This is some good stuff, not enough EQ Lore on KZbin definitely.

[@ChroniclerofLore]

I remember reading the Lore of this game so long ago. Had some good time exploring Norrath and the planes of power. Very good times

[@AsheCraftingCorner]

I shall always love EQ

[@lumberspecialtiesinc1068]

Thank you Bobby for doing the lords work in these plague times your favorite special ogre shm angered

The nameless that knows not why it exists, but exists none the less. I mean, isn't that all of us?

[@Surtur99]

Perhaps the devs/The creator of the lore

[@tklown]

Thanks for making EverQuest videos! Love watching content on EQ. It'll always hold a special place in my heart. I still play P99 from time to time.

[@nevermind3082]

Thank you for making these lore videos. They mean so much to me, and I’m sure to many others. Thank you for preserving a slice of our collective “history” 🙏

[@dustinhiggins710]

Love the videos man. I wish they had more lore. So many questions and blank spots in the history of Norrath. Like people adventuring out and never returning, like, what happened to them? And even the information leading up to the event is very bland. Love it none the less though!

[@deminos85]

Thank You!

[@gnorley]

These are so cool! Thank you for taking the time to do this!

[@Recoil_Dave]

You do a FANTASTIC job with these lore videos! Please make more!

[@Jolanar_Raj]

Fantastic video! Thanks for making it.

[@fishingforlikes3093]

DAMN the lore is rich, wish this franchise was more popular.

[@Twelvestrings]

Very cool 😎

[@benjaminhagan3672]

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Excellent, thank you sir! Long live EQ!

All this power, and yet none of them helped me retrieve my corpse. Corpse run time!

isn't it weird that brell of all the gods was the one who negotiated between them all?

[@BlessedFigTree]

This is great. Thank you for this Bobby :)

[@daaz2005]

Hi! Where did you find this lore to make these? i'd love to read more of this!

[@ww2w235]

Pretty sure it came in the booklets that came with the discs

Greatest game of all-time :-)

[@Random49558]

You re-upload?

[@bobbybick5861]

Yeah this is a reupload. I wanted to add subtitles and clean up a few audio issues. The next NEW video should be coming in the following week as the hard part is done.

[@Random49558]

@@bobbybick5861 Ya dun gud.

[@bmraiche]

So isn't there an imbalance of good to evil gods? I counted 5 to 4

[@bobbybick5861]

@@bmraiche Really Depends how you, and the writers at the time, view them. I believe the intention was there were 4 "Good" gods (Tunare, Mithaniel, Erollosi, and Rodcet), and 4 "Evil" Deities (Rallos, Cazic, Innoruuk, and Bertoxx) with some of them being obvious opposites to each other. There isn't really a direct evil opposite to Tunare, Quellious representing tranquility is much more fitting opposite to Rallos (War) so it would seem there IS an imbalance except that I would argue tranquility falls more under neutrality. The picture represention I made was more of where I see the deities falling in the Good Evil alignment system. You could certainly argue that Solusek Ro is Evil but I think he is intended to be more neutral, aside from that time he decided to incinerate an entire empire of elves.

If you thought daybreak created everquest you are terribly wrong.

@@xkallubar ok who made it

[@xkallubar]

@@Michael-uo4jj 989 Studios, in 1999. Which became Verant Interactive, then the game was ran by Sony Online Entertainment, and then SOE was acquired by Daybreak Games.

@@xkallubar Was it really acquired by Daybreak, or did SOE split the effort off and it became Daybreak?
