Check out the incredibly beautiful Key Art for EverQuest’s 31st expansion, The Outer Brood.

The artwork was released on Wednesday in Jenn Chan’s October Producer’s Letter for EverQuest.

The producer’s letter also includes some details of the expansion lore, as well as the roadmap for the remainder of the year.

Like the EQ2 key art for Scars of Destruction that was released last week, this art too was created by Kerem Beyit, who has been doing the key art for EverQuest since the Rain of Fear expansion.

The Outer Brood

EverQuest’s 31st expansion key art shows a menacing four-winged dragon attacking Norrathians, along with a fleet of additional “space dragons”.

According to the producer’s letter, these dragons are from a place far from Norrath :

In the sky over the hills of the long-ignored Hodstock looms a massive behemoth. A creature so large that it appears to have an entire city on its back. Terrifying monsters fly down from that city. Beasts that have never been seen in Norrath before! Where have they come from, and what could they possibly want? 

Norrath has faced assault before, but this time the foe is different. Some farseers have spotted what can only be dragons in the sky around the great leviathan as it floats at the top of the sky. These beings are so large that few elder Norrathian dragons would stand above its knees! All around the massive leviathan flows a force that defies the understanding of any magic users of Norrath, with power exceeding anything they have seen before. Norrathians of all types, mortal and Dragon alike, have banded together to face this unknown power and attempt to drive them back to wherever they came from. Can you lead the charge against such danger, one that seems to have caused even the fiercest elders of the dragon clans to hesitate? 

In the key art, you can clearly see the city on the top of a large dragon in the sky.

Will this be a zone we can visit? (I think the answer is yes!)

In addition, the dragon pictured in the key art looks to be the one unveiled in the Fippy Fest video of the largest NPC in EverQuest History (other than the Mechamatic Guardian)

Previously, concept art for the expansion was shown off at Fippy Fest in June.
