BEASTLORD PRELUDE PART TWO
The return of the Beastlords to Norrath is at hand, and the story continues in part two of the prelude event!  The energy of the Truespirit continues to flow throughout Norrath, and now that the

Blight has been removed once and for all, their power is stronger than ever.  The Truespirit Harbingers have emerged from the spirit realms, and stand ready to test the heroes of Norrath.  Those

who have completed the first prelude event, and wish to challenge the trials of the Harbingers, should seek out the chosen representatives of the Truespirit.

For those adventurers who are aligned with Qeynos, Meli Valorfrost, stands waiting for you outside the Temple of Life in North Qeynos.  And for those who claim allegiance with the city of
