[[folder: Karana, The Rainkeeper]]
* BadassInDistress: In the Planes Of Power ExpansionPack his plane (the Plane Of Storms) has been taken over by Agnarr The Stormlord
(basically an EvilTwin he accidentally created), and the players have to save him.
* GodOfThunder: An unusually benevolent example, as he's not wrathful or mean, and is widely worshiped by the farmers of Norrath (who obviously need rain).
* GrandpaGod: He looks rather like the stereotypical "guy in flowing robes with a beard" image of God.
* TheUnfought: Unlike most of the gods that are in-game, you save him instead of fight him, and he rewards you.

!!Major Characters
[[folder: Firiona Vie]]
* [[Characters/EverQuestMajorCharacters Major Characters]]
BadassInDistress: The first expansion pack shows her captured by an Iksar.
* [[Characters/EverQuestGods Gods MsFanservice: She was the poster girl for Everquest for thirteen disk boxes. It was averted when she returned on the 21st box in standard plate armor with only her head, upper arms and Deities]]
hands showing.
* [[Characters/EverQuestMajorNPCs Major NPCs]]
RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: There has to be a reason she's called ''the Paladin princess''.

!!Major [=NPCs=]
[[folder: Kerafyrm the Sleeper]]
A prismatic dragon created from two different colored dragons mating.
----
* [[Characters/EverQuestMinorNPCs Minor NPCs]]
[[/index]]
BrightIsNotGood: He's the prismatic dragon, and he's evil.
* DraconicAbomination: He's the only prismatic dragon, and implied to be almost as powerful as Veeshan herself.
* HopelessBossFight: He was meant to be this in the ''Scars of Velious'' pack, although players on one server [[LordBritishPostulate managed to kill him anyway]]. In ''Secrets of Faydwer'', he reappears as a killable BigBad.
* MultipleChoicePast: His OriginStory is deliberately vague and contradictory, and that's without even getting into the ''Everquest II'' lore.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: When he's awakened in Sleeper's Tomb he immediately kills all the players still in the zone, then goes to Skyshrine to kill Lord Yelinak, then goes to the Temple of Veeshan and kills all the dragons there. This only happens once per server, after which Sleeper's Tomb permanently changes.
* SealedEvilInACan: He's been put into a permanent sleep in Sleeper's Tomb, and only awakens when the players [[NiceJobBreakingItHero kill all the Warders]].
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: While the lore surrounding him is [[MultipleChoicePast vague and contradictory]], one story suggests the other dragons feared his power and [[SealedBadassInACan sealed him away]]. As such, when he is awakened, he immediately goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and kills all the dragons in Skyshrine and the Temple of Veeshan.

!!Minor [=NPCs=]
[[folder:Delius Thyme]]
A murderer that went insane after hearing a poet reciting rhymes every day, causing him to murder the poet and attempt to murder several other people.
----
* ApocalypticLog: What little you learn about his personality is obtained through the few pages of his journal that you recover.
* InsaneEqualsViolent: He went insane from listening to a poet practicing rhyming, and ended up murdering the man in his sleep. He also assaulted a random shop patron and then the Halas guards because he thought they were rhyming as well.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's already dead by the time you learn about him, having been killed by a group of bards he attacked.
* SanitySlippage: His sister Thadres explains that he was showing signs of insanity even before he ventured north, and his journal entries describe his rather rapid descent into homicidal madness.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Thadres Thyme]]
A human rogue staying in Halas while she tries to find out why her brother went insane and died assaulting a group of bards.
----
* HeKnowsTooMuch: One very dark interpretation of the questline is that Thadres' primary goal in coming to EverFrost Peaks had nothing to do with love for her brother, but rather was intended to tie up any loose ends regarding her brother's journal. Thadres is tied to the Circle of Unseen Hands, which is the criminal underworld faction of Qeynos, her home city. Given her desperation to get the journal back and her brother (and his companion's) willingness to murder a man simply for rhyming, it's been suggested that Thadres wanted to recover the journal on the off chance that it contained incriminating information about the Circle, and finding out that some of the pages had been removed sent her into a slight panic. Even more telling is the fact that, according to the pages the player retrieves, Delius had the journal on him when the bards killed him in self-defense. Since Thadres has the journal now, but the undead bards have the incriminating pages, the most popular theory is that the bards read the journal and removed the most incriminating pages to use them as evidence, and when Thadres murdered them she only took the journal, not knowing that some pages had been removed.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Vengeful Musicians]]
A trio of undead musicians (a soloist, a lyricist, and a composer) that wander the frozen wastes of Everfrost Peaks.
----
* CluelessMystery: It's never explicitly stated exactly who the vengeful musicians are nor how they came into possession of Delius' journal pages. Many players immediately assume they're the bards Delius attacked, but Thadres explicitly states that Delius didn't survive the battle, suggesting that if the musicians ''are'' the same ones he attacked, they must have died some other way. Some players suspect they were murdered by Thadres as revenge for her brother's death.
* PosthumousCharacter: They're (un)dead by the time you ever encounter them, having died of unknown causes.
[[/folder]]

!!Gods
[[folder: In General]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Several of the gods appear in-game as killable bosses. Due to all the level increases, a lot of them aren't even very powerful by the game's current standards, and can even be killed solo. It's implied that there is some GameplayAndStorySegregation going on, as they seem to be a lot more powerful in the lore.
* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: All of the player-worshippable evil gods are male.
* LargeAndInCharge: Most of the god's physical forms are quite big, ranging from around 20 feet tall to over 100 feet tall.
* PhysicalGod: Most of them appear as in-game npcs, and even those that haven't been put in the game are depicted as having a physical form. the exception is [[TopGod The Nameless,]] who has never appeared in-game in any form, nor is there any artwork depicting him.
[[/folder]]

!!!Gods Of Influence

[[folder: Innoruuk, the Prince of Hate]]
* BadassCape: He has big red and gold one.
* TheCorrupter: He created the Dark Elf race by torturing the first elven king and queen for 300 years [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil until they turned evil.]] He also tempts people to do evil by giving into their hatred.
* LeanAndMean: He's very tall and skinny, and probably the worst of the evil gods.
* ThePowerOfHate: Being the god of hate, this is his whole schtick. He basically believes that hate is the only real power there is, and that things like love and kindness are [[VirtueIsWeakness for people who are too weak and stupid to know better.]]
* SatanicArchetype: Of the evil gods in the game, he is the most similar to the Christian Satan. He [[TheCorrupter tries to tempt people into being evil,]] has corrupted some good races into evil variants, and even has HornsOfVillainy.
[[/folder]]

!!!Demigods

[[folder: Zebuxoruk, the Forsaken]]
* AboveGoodAndEvil: He's explicitly said to be "neither good nor evil", and he seems to view good and evil as [[{{Ubermensch}} just constructs invented by the gods.]]
* GodOfKnowledge: He rules over the celestial domain of Knowledge. Numerous times throughout Norrath's history, he has lost his godhood and eventually ascended again and again, as he is the keeper of forbidden knowledge— specifically, part of the reason why he continues to revert back to mortal form is because of the possibility of him revealing the knowledge of ascending to godhood. The whole storyline of the Plane of Time raid in the Planes of Power expansion is to prevent him from being freed because if all mortals suddenly became gods, the sheer chaos of millions of individuals unleashing such tremendous powers would undo the very fabric of the universe itself. Even if he's not aware of it, the denizens of New Tanaan -- the Plane of Knowledge -- worship him because they know that all forms of knowledge are worth keeping.
