Players could ally their characters with any of the three factions, and fight against the others to gain rewards exclusive to their chosen faction. The expansion introduced both Frost giants and Coldain dwarves to the EverQuest universe, as well as a new sect of dragons known as the Claws of Veeshan. One of these claw marks is believed to be in a zone known as The Great Divide, an area where the Coldain have established their home in the mountain side. 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 takes place on the continent of Velious, an icy continent towards the south of Norrath.


The expansion focuses on high-level content (levels 35 and up), providing many extremely powerful monsters to fight and a number of zones meant to be used by large groups of players. Sony Online Entertainment (Verant Interactive)ĮverQuest: The Scars of Velious was released on December 5, 2000.
