Sony Online Entertainment has released The Darkened Sea, the 21st expansion to the original 3D MMO, EverQuest. 21 expansions! In it, players will revisit familiar storylines and characters, and tread through both re-imagined areas and all new locales as they fight to return peace to Norrath.

The expansion continues the 'Year of Everquest' event happening in 2014, celebrating 15 years of non-stop, forever-questing. The previous expansion, Call of the Forsaken, launched back in October of last year.
"With The Darkened Sea, we wanted to revisit some of the classic stories that EverQuest has created over the past 15 years. By returning to the Buried Sea, not only can we revisit timeless areas in the world of Norrath, but also deliver the epitome of a classic 'Good vs. Evil' story to our fans, by bringing back two iconic EverQuest characters in Firiona Vie and Lanys T'vyl." said Thom Terrazas, Senior Producer of EverQuest in a press release. Terrazas, by the way, sounds like an amazing endgame boss.

The expansion introduces eight zones - six brand new areas and two reimagined ones - as well as wealth of changes and updates, including missions, raids and monsters. The level cap is now set at 105.
"On a mission to restore balance to Norrath, heroine Firiona Vie travels to Katta Castrum, a city in the Buried Sea, to heal the Combine Emperor, Tsaph Katta. However, a corrupt splinter faction of the Combine, along with the treacherous Lanys T'vyl, attacks the city and kidnaps the Combine ruler. It is up to the heroes of Norrath to track down Lanys and her compatriots, rescue the Emperor and put an end to whatever designs Lanys has planned for Norrath."
