Solusek's Eye
 |
Journey to the Center of the Earth
What has lured the gnomes of Ak'Anon from their home in the Steamfront Mountains¸ across Faydwer and the vast Ocean of Tears¸ to create an outpost in possibly the most unforgiving and dangerous environment on all of Norrath?
The region of caverns and lava-filled tunnels known as Solusek's Eye is in the heart of the Lavastorm Mountains near its namesake¸ a gigantic caldera of lava whence Solusek Ro himself is said to sometimes gaze upon the world. It's here that the gnomes and their clockwork minions defend a small portion of the caves from kobolds and goblins¸ as well as from seemingly unnatural predators like stone spiders and sonic bats. Did the gnomes come for the enormous mineral and gem deposits¸ or is the Solusek Mining Company just a cover for a more ambitious undertaking?
And the mystery deepens: Why¸ unbeknownst to the gnomes¸ does the mighty red dragon Lord Nagafen demand that his servants -- fire giants¸ goblins¸ and kobolds alike - stay their hands from exterminating the tinkering intruders?
This sourcebook details the history and present circumstances of the complicated environment in and around Solusek's Eye¸ including complete settlements of goblins¸ kobolds¸ and gnomes¸ as well as the Citadel of the Krombral¸ a city teeming with fire giants who avoided the ancient curse of idiocy that affected many of the giant race. In addition¸ for the first time anywhere¸ this sourcebook offers a true sneak-peek at some fo the new material that will appear online in EverQuest II.
For instance¸ what part do the gnomes really play in the politics of Solusek's Eye?
