Raid progression
In addition to the regular raids (below in Raid progression in The Broken Mirror), there are level scaling raids in instanced versions of Plane of Fear and Plane of Hate. The instances are obtained from Amalissa Dawntender in the Plane of Tranquility, in the same building with the Plane of Knowledge book. The zone ins to the instances is also in the Plane of Tranquility.
| “ | Cazic, Dracoliche are full-blown 54-man raids. Fright, Dread, and Terror are simpler raids similar to what I did with the NToV dragons. |
” |
| “ | The Plane of Fear [and Plane of Hate] raid zone has been set up to work in a unique way. The zone's population is divided into groups. Each of those groups has its own lockout. If you kill any NPC in that group, the lockout for that group will be set. Basically, you will be able to kill each NPC once. The fights were amped up and should be a challenge to all but the toughest raid groups. | ” |

Lore
| “ | A goddess wakes and gazes into a looking glass. The reflection of her true nature fractures and breaks. Even as the looking glass shatters and the world around her dissolves, Anashti Sul only looks deeper still into the fragments as they drift away. When her fractured mind glimpses her surroundings, she discovers that she is adrift in an unknown time and place where gods and goddesses maintain direct influence over Norrath. A hunger for power wells within her, having passed many an age with no power at all and an upstart sitting in her place. With a whole new realm before her, she resolves to rule again!
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? |
