New
Deities of Everquest
Sorebottom O'Boredom,
god of camping. Sorebottom is a dull and lazy god who
requires the same devotion from his followers. They
worship him by sitting on their arses for hours or even
days at a time at his various holy places like Highhold
Pass, Temple of Cazic Thule, Najena, and Guk. His
followers pay homage to him by auctioning off their goods
to the highest bidder. Their prayer chants include
'Selling/trading rubicite for a good wizard item', 'Get
in line', and 'You kill-stealing bastard, I've camped
this spot for 3 days straight'. Sorebottom and his
followers are the arch enemy of 'Wizfire'
Wizfire,
god of kill-stealing. Wizfire is an evil, selfish deity.
He is primarily worshipped by wizards, but some druids
and mages worship him also. Wizfire requires vast number
of sacrifices to sate his hunger for blood, so his
followers travel the lands killing everything in sight.
He is the arch enemy of Sorebottom, with whom he shares a
parasitic relationship. Both are worshipped in many of
the same places, but Wizfire and his followers live off
the same prey. Wizfire and his followers are hated
throughout the land.
Nurph,
god of class balancing. Nurph is a very feared god, more
appeased than worshipped. He is like a plague, feared by
all players, who live in fear that his chilling hand is
not placed on their class' head. Nurph requires
sacrifices, which he gets primarily from druids, shamans,
and necromancers in the form of spells and abilities. He
has no worshippers or holy places, although his avatar,
Arudune is sometimes seen stalking the land, looking for
good spells or successful strategies to feed to his
ravenous master.
Playorun Economie,
god of trade skills. Playorun is a greedy god who takes
his due from every successful trade skill in the form of
profits. No skill is safe from his grasping hands, as he
leeches the bank accounts of any foolish enough to try
them. He is also worshipped by the many merchants in the
land who buy items for but a fraction of their worth and
sell them for hundreds of times their value. Whenever an
enterprising mortal tries to outwit Playorun, by making
money from a skill, he calls upon his brother, the god
Nurph to smite the offender and any who would follow him.
Powyrgamyr,
god of levelling. Powyrgamyr is crazed god, worshipped by
hordes of raving, lunatics. These madmen roam the land
killing everything in sight, never stopping, never
sleeping, until they eventually drop dead from
exhaustion. They are like a plague of locusts, destroying
everything in their path in their mad quest to appease
their god. Once a mortal gives his soul to Powyrgamyr, he
breaks off all relationships, leaving friends and family
behind, as they embark on their holy quests for
experience, fame and wealth. Those that survive the
quest, usually turn from Powyrgamyr and become
worshippers of Twynker.
Twynker,
god of newbies. Twynker is a kind god, worshipped by many
newbies. The basic philosophy of the worship of Twynker
is reincarnation. His followers believe that if they live
a good and productive life, amassing wealth and items,
they will be reborn into newbies, and be allowed to live
off the gains of their previous life. As such, the
followers of Twynker are viewed with jealousy and hatred
by other mortals. They must endure much hatred and
insults, but the consolation that they have better stuff
than anyone else helps them cope. You can see Twynker's
followers wherever there is a gathering of newbies. They
are the ones killing rats, bats and fire beetles while
dressed in full rubicite armor.
Roel Playor,
god of perpetual low levels. Roel Playor is a benevolent
god, worshipped by mortals through out the land of
Norrath. They are well known for their verbose language
and strange way of speaking. Most of them are kind,
gentle beings who only want to live their lives in peace
and harmony with the land and its inhabitants. However,
their religion has recently been infiltrated by the
followers of Wizfire. They are usually dark elves,
trolls, and ogres who hide behind the teaching of Roel
Playor, as an excuse to appease their god, Wizfire. These
heretics are also known as azhoels.
