Champions of Norrathis anAction RPGon the PlayStation 2 set in the world of theEverQuestMMO series, roughly three hundred years prior to the originalEverQuest, making it aprequel, albeit one that is only vaguely alluded to in any of the online installments.
Its plot involves an alliance of orcs and goblins, once enemies, laying siege to Faydwer, the continent of elvenkind at this point in Norrathian history. Leithkorias, King of theWood Elves, calls out for champions to defend the land. You (and whatever people you're playing alongside if you've selected multi-player mode) heed this call as one of five customizable race/class choices, each of which are highly customizable. The available choices are BarbarianWarrior, EruditeWizard,High ElfCleric,Wood ElfRangerandDark ElfShadowknight. The game is separated into five chapters, and takes a major twist after the first, which culminates in your first encounter with the orc general, Pelys, who isn't what he seems.
