The Story

The Sebilisian Empire Rises Again

Centuries after its fall, the Sebilisian Empire is being rebuilt from the ruins of Cabilis. At its head stands Empress Sathir — great-granddaughter of the lich lord who once ruled all of Kunark, trained from hatchlinghood by Grandmaster Glox in the ways of both the blade and the grave.

She is not alone in her ambitions, and she is not without enemies. Far to the south, in the Dreadlands, Venril Sathir himself still watches — and waits. Beneath the earth, the Shissar stir, testing whether the surface has forgotten them. And in the mountains, the Di`zok Sarnak look on the Empress's rise with open hostility, certain the throne of Kunark belongs to them alone.

Only one thing stands between the Empress and open war on every front: a fragile treaty, newly signed, with the Lord Chancellor of Gorowyn — witnessed by a continent that has not forgotten what the Sebilisian Empire once was.

Kunark has not changed. Everyone standing on it has.

Which claim will you answer?

Return to the Savage Continent 27 new zones to explore. Countless adventures await. Here’s a glimpse of what’s to come.

Cabilis

The Iksar capital stands whole again. East and West Cabilis are one city beneath the new Vekin Palace, where Empress Sathir rebuilds the Sebilisian Empire stone by stone.

Chardok

The fortress of the Di`zok Sarnak, who believe Kunark is theirs by right and rarely ally with anyone. Chardok has been rebuilt as a raid for those prepared to dispute that claim.

Karnor’s Castle

Venril Sathir’s undead wife, Drusella, rules here as Lady-Regent. Fight through the castle’s garrison of undead and drolvarg to face her in a new raid.

Field of Bone

Just outside Cabilis, the bones of creatures larger than anything still living on Kunark lie half-buried in the earth. For generations of Iksar, these have been the first steps beyond the city walls.

The Overthere

Kunark’s vast central plains have been reshaped, and the dark elf outpost on their edge has new purpose. No corner of the continent has changed more.

Tomar’s Terrorfields

Firiona Vie is gone. Where some may remember a bastion of good on the shores of Kunark, a different fortress now resides.

Is this the same as the original Ruins of Kunark?: No. Rulers of Kunark returns to the continent many EverQuest players remember, but it isn’t a remake. Kunark is now a continent being fought over: the Sebilisian Empire is rebuilding Cabilis, the lich Venril Sathir has the dragons under siege, and the Shissar are stirring underground. Every zone has been revamped, Veeshan’s Peak has many new encounters built for EverQuest Legends, and there are new systems the original never had, including Reincarnation, Artes, +11 item and spell merging, the Auction House and Collections.
