It is with deep sorrow that we inform our EverQuest community of the passing of Keith Parkinson, an extraordinary artist who gave the life-breath to Firiona Vie, he's recognized the world over, and created many of our classic EverQuest box art designs and posters.

Keith is best known for the cover art he created for many of the books in the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms series published by TSR, along with numerous other covers for best-selling authors such as Terry Brooks, Anne McCaffrey and Orson Scott Card.

After Keith handed the EverQuest artistic reigns to another, he accepted the position of art director with Sigil Games Online, thus furthering the excellence of art for our entire industry.

To Keith's family, our friends at Sigil, and all those who've had the honor to know him, our hearts are with you.
