OK, I learned something today: When Daybreak uses the word menagerie, it is not, in fact, the same as the nickname I give to my band of miscreant children. The EverQuest II studio is referring to the actual collection of creatures assembled by the alternate-reality version of the wizard Miragul, the chief antagonist of today’s Immeasurable Menagerie update.
“Some Norrathians know Miragul, the infamous Master Etherealist, from his fruitless endeavor to obtain the Staff of Theer, or due to the resounding defeat they delivered upon him in his Planar Shard, while others have benefited greatly from the Legendary Archmagus’ tutelage in Obulus Frontier. And yet, this is not the same Miragul! This Miragul originates from another reality and another time. This Miragul abandoned his laboratory in Everfrost for one unbound by time, realities, and Celestial interference. He is assembling beings for his menagerie by plucking them out of time and space. Keeping them locked away for testing and training. Why is he doing this? What is his end goal? Which reality specifically did he come from?”
Respectfully, I have no idea, but you’re about to find out.
