Following the events of Sentinel's Fate , the twin Swords of Destiny, Soulfire and the Qeynos Claymore, have been drained of their powers, setting the stage for the destruction of the EverQuest universe.

Spotlight: August Events [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)

Game Update 57 is quickly approaching, with an estimated release date of August 17, 2010. This update heralds the end to a few ongoing events. The finale of the Halas Prelude event, Tribute to the Huntress , will end, though the rare house item version of the ripe pomegranates , which first appeared during this quest, will remain a permanent addition in The Commonlands. The Druid Ring Reconstruction Event has been completed on every server except Harla Dar and Barren Sky, in Russia. Once the eighth ring was finished, it unlocked a quest called Path of the Prophet . As far as we know at this time, the entire event, including the token merchants , is scheduled to disappear when GU57 arrives. This means that you should look into spending all of those hard earned Florets of Growth! A note about the Druid Ring Event: Niami Denmother of EQ2 Traders reported this in her Fan Faire 2010 Summary : "I heard third-hand that there were plans to let the druid ring rebuilding event continue ...
