Neverwinter Talks Up Menzoberranzan Module’s Gzemnid’s Reliquary Trial

Neverwinter will send players into the depths of the Underdark in the Menzoberranzan module’s new Gzemnid’s Reliquary Trial. The trial will be available in both Normal and Master difficulty, with the Normal version requiring an item level of at least 30,000 and the Master version requiring at least 80,000.

“Gzemnid has taken residence in the Underdark where he schemes to take control of the Eye of Odran in order to tap into the Illithid Hivemind. Within his lair, he accumulates artifacts of power and subjugated creatures while gathering information on potential threats to his plans,” reveals Cryptic Studios. “A distinguished adventurer such as yourself has certainly garnered his attention. Gzemnid knows your past deeds, he’s analyzed your tactics, and he’s not impressed.”

“Face off against this terrifying beholder and you’ll find yourself struggling to distinguish reality from illusion as he probes your mind for weaknesses to exploit. A gauntlet of minions, magical objects, and illusions awaits those brave enough to challenge Gzemnid. The defenses are ready, he awaits your arrival.”

In the Dungeons & Dragons universe, Menzoberranzan is an underground drow city located in the Upper Dark and one of the most famous drow cities in Faerûn, which means that we can probably expect a whole host of underground quests and challenges when the module comes out.

Cryptic Studios has yet to announce a release date for Menzoberranzan, but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear word from the developers.
