Festering like a pustule in the celestial spheres, the Plane of Disease is the unfortunate embodiment of its ruler and the bringer of plagues, Bertoxxulous.

The air hangs with a sticky, stagnant mix of pestilence and decay, its vapors so deadly as to cause organs to rot within seconds of contact. Bile and bodily wastes fill the lakes, rivers, and sea, frothing at the surface and scarring the shoreline. Large boils cover the putrid land, where rank pus excretes from the surface with every step.

You'll come into unsavory contact with the Plaguebringer's most devout worshippers, the Springview Healers, and unravel the secrets of this land of degeneration in your pursuit of the Tenets of Hate.

Venture deep into the infected bowels of this ever-decaying plane where an ancient tomb of kings, the Crypt of Decay, awaits, and discover what Lanys T'vyl and her Primordial Malice have in store for Bertoxxulous.

It is with utmost urgency that you, the mortal heroes of Norrath, survive this festering realm and its infestation of creatures, and prevent the Tenets of Hate from fulfilling their prophecy of domination.

The Plane of Disease may prove to be your most vile challenge yet, adventurer... do you think you've got the stomach to face it?

The Planes of Prophecy will come to Norrath on November 28, 2017, but you can pre-order the expansion right now! If you're an All Access Member, you'll also recieve an additional 10% off of the expansion pre-order and more! You can learn more about All Access perks here.

We're fast approaching the end of Gear Up, Level Up but we've still got a few more bonuses in store!

From 12:01AM PT on Monday, November 13, 2017, until 11:59PM PT on Sunday, November 19, 2017 players on Live Servers will receiving double loot! Plus, if you're playing on a Live Server and have an All Access Membership, you'll also earn double status!

Playing on a Progression Server? This week, you'll be granted the highly-coveted double XP bonus!

Get on out there, adventurers - you're almost out of time to gear up and level up!

Home of all things innovative and mechanical and watched over by the formless entity known as the Great Gear, the Plane of Innovation has thrived during the absence of the Gods through the ingenuity of Norrathians. It is this mortal power of creativity that the plane feeds upon. (Blame the gnomes if you want, as we all know the inquisitive minds of gnomes are limitless.)

Meanwhile, the clockworks under the Great Gear’s influence are unforgiving and calculating in defending their plane. Within the depths of the scrapyards, a massive foreboding building known as the Manaetic Factory looms.

In the factory, all of the evolving machines are fabricated and tested... on none other than YOU! Survive these "tests" and see what the Great Gear and his creations have lying in wait for those who attempt to defile the plane.

Another being has had some influence on the plane, who might be a recognizable name in Norrath’s history - Meldrath the Malignant has made the Plane of Innovation a home of sorts, using the advanced designs of the clockworks to figure out how to possess machinery at will.

Meldrath has started replacing his own body parts with superior mechanical devices, but is in need of fresh organic material to continue to research fusing biological tissue into mechanized bodies… That is where Norrathians come in!

Adventurers are sent to seek out Meldrath who might know of a way to gain access to further planes in the pursuit of the Tenets of Hate. Why he would choose to help Norrathians in this task remains a mystery.

Invading “fleshbags” will need to battle past all of the plane’s defenses to find out exactly what Meldrath is up to and how he has been able to hide away on the plane without being forced out by the native machines.

The denizens of Innovation will not hold back in defending their home, and they have no fear of death as they do not even grasp the concept. This makes them efficient killing machines that can easily dispatch the majority of any invading force.

Do you think you have what it takes to survive the clockwork forces of the Plane of Innovation? You'll find out when Planes of Prophecy launches on November 28, 2017! 

You can pre-order the Planes of Prophecy expansion right now! Plus, if you're an All Access Member, you'll also recieve an additional 10% off of the expansion pre-order and more! You can learn more about All Access perks here.
