Overview

Drawn from The Power of the Gods — in-game book.EQ1Primary · official · best available source

and its effect upon The Land of Norrath

It has been many years since the land has felt the presence of the humanoid races. It has seen the rise and fall of empires. In time all of these mighty empires may fall, but one thing is certain; The gods will forever remain and so shall ye if ye serve them. A holy knight is rare, for it involves the cleanliness of both body and mind. To walk the path of virtue is in fact a difficult task. Temptation will be felt at every corner, every whisper in your ear. The time will come when a choice must be made, and the holy knight makes the choice best suited for valor and honor. Walk the path of virtue and you shall remain forever true to the One.
