EverQuest books - Ocean of Tears

XadionDarkborn · 06-06-2008, 09:32 AM

So, I did a quick search (sorry if I missed them!) and did not see anything.

Anyone read any of the EQ novels- the Ocean of Tears one has gotten some good reviews in the fact that it keeps to the "real" EQ1 world- unlike the rouge EQ book that made up towns, people groups, spells etc that did not previously exist in the EQ1 world- OOT keeps more true from what I can tell.

Honestly the EQ1 from Vanilla -> Plane of Power -> EQ2 timeline imo is a great story and was thinking today on the way home from work I would love to read novels about the in-game story etc hell I would love to write it...then I saw the add for EQ:OOT novel...so I come here seeking general thoughts info etc.

Do they have prequels to the whole thing? Like when Gods ran shit, or the world before this or that and what not? Wasn't EQOA a prequel game? Or is there a book that fills in the timeline better between eq1~>2

eq books can only be good to me if they stay with the same lore and cities I recognize, along with the characters I know making appearances. "made up towns, people groups, etc" shouldn't be called everquest.

I read the first one years ago (when it first came out) and I remember it being pretty underwhelming. If more were released after that one, then I never heard about it.

Theres 4 Everquest books. Rogue's Hour, Ocean of Tear's, Blood Red Harp, and Truth and Steel. I believe all 4 books are really great. Sure Rogue's hour defers a bit from the storyline and such but whos not to say those villages didnt exist as the small towns you pass thru the karana's and what not. Personally I thought they were all great stories.

I liked the comic they put out but it never got past the first issue.

rogues hour was passable forgotten realms style throw away fantasy, ocean of tears was a decent read, blood red harp was a god awful pile of shit, and truth and steel imo was a good book, characters felt more alive then the others.

Is that the one about the female dark elf warrior who leaves Neriak then they come for the entire group at the end?

No, but that sounds like that EQ webcomic that used to come out. This was about Firona Vie coming back and the group that was protecting her,

Nah this comic wasnt a webcomic for sure. Ill see if I can dig up some images of the comic online somewhere since the comic is in storage somewhere. But they drew all the elves as dark elves pretty much. Was a great story and had wished they finished it.
