=== Lore === | |||
At about 21:03 of the full live stream video, this briefly flashes on the screen (warning: spoilers): | |||
<blockquote>Quellious has heard of a new goddess, one suddenly allied to her friend Rodcet Nife | |||
:- The presence of this new goddess and her relationship to Rodcet harms Quellious' calm | |||
Characters will learn that Anashti Sul's realm has two faces, the Demiplane of Life and the Demiplane of Decay | |||
:- It is attached to anchors in both the Plane of Disease and the Plane of Health | |||
:- Anashti Sul has Alled herself with both Bertoxxulous and Rodcet Nife | |||
Her worshipers in Sul Vius: Demiplane of Life believe that their unwavering faith in Anasthi Sul earns them a second venerated and immortal life | |||
Her worshipers in Sul Vius: Demiplane of Decay believe that it is only after death that one can properly serve Anasthi Sul. All the dead serve her, and faith has nothing to do with it | |||
Players will meet the mayors of Sul Vius and learn about their philosophies and concerns | |||
:- And of course they will learn that there is more to this new goddess than is apparent | |||
Things they learn | |||
Anasthi Sul was torn apart when Lendiniara broke the fabric between universes | |||
:- A version of the goddess found herself in our realm, changed | |||
:- She now has two aspects, Life and Decay | |||
Her arrival caused an unusual demiplane to be formed called Sul Vius | |||
:- It exists in two forms, representing the dual nature of their goddess</blockquote> | |||

Anashti Sul's passage through a rift into this reality caused her to split into the two most dominant aspects of herself - life and decay. Fully aware of each aspect, she knows that both must command a plane of power lest she weaken entirely and crumble into the nothingness of The Void. And so she crafts a plot to infect the planes of Norrath with a war that threatens to collapse the balance of all life! Are you brave enough to face the might of a goddess who is ravenous to rule? Will you prevent the chaos she would unleash in all of Norrath?||| [https://www.everquest.com/expansion-content EverQuest.com]}} | Anashti Sul's passage through a rift into this reality caused her to split into the two most dominant aspects of herself - life and decay.
