From EQLive, here's a look at Morell's Castle, one of 13 zones being introduced with the House of Thule expansion:

Morell's Castle

This is Morell Thule's home. On the outside it appears to be a normal structure. Inside, it reflects the nature of its master. The inner sections of Morrell's castle are malleable and shift to suit the beings who live there.
 
The Lord of Dreams' castle exerts its influence on the surrounding areas. Adventurers will see evidence of this as they explore, seeing displaced interiors in places they wouldn't usually appear.

Here are some updates for today. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

Sanctum Somnium is one of 13 zones being introduced with the House of Thule expansion in October. Here's a preview of the zone from EQLive:

Sanctum Somnium

This is the home of the Lord of Dreams, Morrell Thule. The Sanctum is the center of his realm, the Plane of Dreams where Morrell oversees all that happens in our subconscious. Here, in his base of power, Morrell has collected the manifestations of our dreams. Things that should be familiar, yet somehow are not, contribute to the wonder and mystery of this dream world.

From EQLive, here is the latest Producer's Letter from Thom "Phathom" Terrazas:

Hello All!

Thank you everyone who attended the 2010 Las Vegas Fan Faire! It was great meeting everyone and discussing the great things coming soon to EverQuest. Not to mention sharing all the great stories that we’ve all experienced in EverQuest since its launch, over 11 years ago!

While at Fan Faire, we, announced the latest great thing we’ve been working on the past few months. So to reiterate, in case you’ve missed the announcement: In October 2010, EverQuest will be launching its 17th expansion, House of Thule!
