Ever since announcing last week a new playable Freeblood vampire, EverQuest II players have been dreading the arrival of Twilight wannabes in Norrath. But the first batch of lore released about the Freeblood vampire seems determined to bring a palatable sexiness to the sharp-tooted mythological creature.
In the form of letters written by a certain D’Ryil, it’s shown that the Freeblood vampires might be hunting down the secrets of the power-obsessed vampire Mayong Mistmoore and her tragic bride Tserrina. Both Mayong and Tserrina had dabbled in dark forces and their journals provide insights on the transformative process of vampirism.
D’Ryil tells Verilos that it is urgent for them to acquire Mayong’s and Tserrina’s research notes in order to “accomplish our goal of strengthening our bloodline.”
This meticulousness makes the Freeblood so much more interesting that you can’t help but wonder what their ultimate goal is. Do they want to strengthen their bloodline and exact revenge on the other races that have shunned them? Have they contracted a sort of vampire disease that is need of a cure?
All these questions will surely be answered as the big reveal draws near. The Freeblood vampires are scheduled for release next year and is a loyalty reward for EQII players who keep on playing until February 2011. Until then, we will have to subsist on these lore letters and maybe wishful thinking while watching Interview with the Vampire.
