General information
The expansion takes place on the continent of Velious, an icy continent towards the south of Norrath. The title refers to three chasms in Velious that are said to be the place where the great dragon Veeshan struck the continent with her claws.
The expansion introduced both frost giants and Coldain dwarves to the EverQuest universe, as well as a sect of dragons, known as the Claws of Veeshan. These three groups are perpetually at war with one another.
The expansion is also notable for introducing the Sleeper's Tomb zone, which led to a great deal of controversy due to complaints that the zone did not work properly, and that it was designed to give an unfair advantage to powerful guilds.
