EverQuest II Will of a Tyrant Overview and Battlegrounds Screenshots

In addition to sending you over to Voodoo Extreme for nine new Battlegrounds screenshots from EverQuest II: Sentinel's Fate, I thought I'd point out an overview of the game's pre-expansion "Will of a Tyrant" update on MMORPG.com:
The Prelude event leading up to this expansion centers the royal houses of Freeport and Qeynos. In Freeport Deathknell Citadel has been destroyed. This floating citadel was the home of the tyrannical Overlord, Lucan D'Lere, but now D'lere has vanished and Deathknell floats no more, it has crashed to the ground. I really like this smashing up of the old content. I love when things change drastically in an MMO, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Blizzard does with Cataclysm, I can't wait to see a whole word smashed up. But that is later, this is now. Sony Online Entertainment has had a long history of revamping zones, they have never shied away from doing away with old content and radically changing areas.

The destruction of the citadel leads to a quest to find the Overlord. Freeport is in chaos, some believe that he is dead and are rioting and looting, vile Dark Elven Thexians have taken control of parts of the city. Sir Tallen Yevix believes the disappearance is a test and tasks us with finding some missing pieces of a mechanical device used by the Overlord to communicate with his knights. With this repaired she can set the signal to find D'Lere and save the day.
