Game description: Discover what it takes to become a champion. From the makers of EverQuest comes Champions of Norrath, an action RPG that allows you to create your own hero, journey across fantastic lands and play against others online. Customize your champion's powers, appearance and abilities. Battle vicious orcs and goblins using deadly spells or fierce weapons. Play alone, or with up to three players via Multitap or the Internet. Do anything you can to prove you have the heart of a champion.
Champions of Norrath features a traditional role-playing video game storyline, in which the player acts as a hero who must save the world via a series of quests and battles. Divided into five acts, the game begins with a quest to assist the elves in their war against the orcs, who have formed an alliance with goblins (which is strange to the citizens of Norrath). However in later acts, the player must eventually travel to the underworld and beyond thanks to the antics created by the strange orc leader and his contacts. The game takes place in the focal world of the EverQuest universe known as Norrath, prior to the events of the first EverQuest online RPG, which was itself prior to "The Shattering" of the moon Luclin.
