About EverQuest The Serpent’s Spine
Nestled in a great ravine in the Serpent Spine Mountains is an ancient abandoned
ogre city now called Crescent Reach, which is home to a new race born to protect
the future of dragon kind, the Drakkin. Six dragons defied the council of the
ancient dragons of the Nest and chose to create a new race to protect their
future. The Drakkin are borne of humans touched by a dragon's blood and their
colors and appearance represent the dragon that created them. Rapidly aging and
reaching maturity in only months, the Drakkin forget their human beginnings and
make their pilgrimage to Crescent Reach, the home of their dragon creators and
the rest of their kind. EverQuest The Serpent’s Spine features the following:
- New Player Race: The Drakkin have been created from both human and dragon
blood to protect the future of all dragon kind. Several colors and
customizations will be available to make each Drakkin character unique, such
as elegant scale markings and horns.
- Level Cap Increase: Players can now reach level 75, complete with new
spells, abilities, raids and quests for greater power.
- Content for Levels 1 to 75: Play through every level of the game without
ever having to leave the Serpent Spine Mountains.

that is required to learn and thrive in EverQuest, including merchant, quest,
combat and tradeskill areas.
