Were you ever running through Unrest, or maybe Lower Guk, happily slaughtering your way through your typical undead garbage
when you suddenly came across a giant, magic casting, undead hand? Congratulations! These reanimated hands are only found
in a few places throughout Norrath and their encounter is truly one to remember.
But they weren't always abominations, they were once normal hands, attached to normal giants that marched on the Planes
of Power with their god Rallos Zek to kill the other gods. Rallos Zek's campaign, like the one before it, ended in failure and the warlord blamed his children for the defeat, refusing to shelter them from the wrath of the other gods. Rallos Zek's creations, giants in particular, were known for harassing the creations of the other gods and thus were given no mercy for their transgression. Along with being cursed with stupidity they were stripped of the majority of their innate magic, ensuring that lacked the wit and magical capacity needed to open a portal to the Planes of Power. However, this curse didn't work on the strongest members of the giant's race, and so the gods cut off these giant's hands, guaranteeing they would never again cast magic. Sometime later, necromancers found these hands and reanimated them into loyal servants, mainly to guard treasure.
Apparently, these hands are rather intelligent, being able to read and write in multiple languages. Retaining a good deal of
their former owner's magic they can see, hear and smell the world around them, though they have no ability to speak. The Monsters of Norrath book also describes them as non-agressive unless provoked, though they will happily attack you in game once they sense you. I love the lore behind this monster and thought I'd share it!
I'm still learning about video and voice editing and recognize these videos aren't perfect, but I'm improving a little with each one! - เกม

Haha it makes perfect sense! Giant hands are actually giant's hands! Awesome video.
And yet the giant floating eyeballs aren't from the giants ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, thanks for watching!
I wish I could have experienced EQ in its hay days . My start on pc gaming was beach head 2000 and joint ops. I began my journey with mmorpgs was EQ2. I still ride that nostalgia train as often as I can lol. Thank you for uploading the awesome content !
I. Love. These. Videos.
I wish we had these in EQOA lol. We got the eyeballs though, and they're just as hilarious. Especially the Evil Eye Examiner with it's eye glass.
Scratching giant butts 😂 Your vids are so good! Thanks for making these!

Great video, i've always liked the lore of everquest, it reminds me a lot of old D&D, i hope to see more videos like this one : )
Thank you! EQ has some really interesting lore and I'm defiantly planning on making more videos to share it. I believe the next one will be about a certain cannibal dragon...
Love EQ lore videos! Please make more :)
Horry sheet.

That is the castle within the Plane of Mischief.
