The Legends Begin February 22, 2002!
Off a small island between Erudin and Antonica, the mighty ship White Maelstrom and her crew met an untimely demise. What will follow as a consequence of that long-ago tragedy will rock the world of Norrath and test the mettle of every adventurer. No matter your experience, young or old, valorous or villainous, it will be up to you to help turn back a coming tide of darkness that could change the world irrevocably!
Dateline Freeport: Like the ripples from a stone dropped in a glassy sea, an unhallowed call-to-arms spreads throughout Norrath from the newly risen Dorian Dulein, pirate captain of the Rotting Revenge who was slain in the naval battle with the White Maelstrom. In answer, the bones of dead sailors claw their way back to undead life and besiege the city of Freeport, their single-minded goal: Obey Dulein's irresistible summons…
Dateline Oasis: The echoing call of Dulein crosses oceans of sea and sand alike, penetrating The Oasis, where it reaches the long-dead and dried ears of the sinister Captain Blackhand. Forced into undeath by Dulein's call, it is only through Blackhand's insurmountable will and boundless greed that he and his loyal sailors are able to resist Dulein's command and seek out their most prized treasure, buried long ago somewhere in the Oasis…
Dateline Emerald Jungle: Scenting chaos in the air, the followers of the mighty Iksar general, Venril, rally in the depths of the Emerald Jungle with plans of their own…
Stranded by his own evil arts on a small island after his defeat and death, Dulein calls his new home the Marauder's Mire, where he now rules as a tortured god. However, a brash young pirate seeking the legendary plunder of the lost island has recently disturbed Dulein's solitude. His anger has opened a permanent gateway to his Mire and unleashed a summons throughout the world so powerful that wherever a pirate has died in Norrath, their spirit would again find their corpse and rise to join Dulein in his new home, razing all that lay in their path.
These server-wide events, plus many more, will culminate in the opening of a brand new zone unique to the Legends Server. Called the Marauder's Mire, this new land will challenge players of all levels, but they must first discover its location before they may begin seeking the untold pirate's treasures hidden there!
