MYTHIC RELEASES NEW ISLAND BATTLEFIELD FOR
DARK AGE OF CAMELOT(R)

New Realm vs. Realm (TM) Battles on the
Isle of Agramon

“Realm vs Realm battles are the heart of Dark
Age of Camelot,” explains Jeff Hickman, Executive Producer for Dark Age of
Camelot. “They are our unique take on Player vs. Player combat and the reason so
many gamers continue to play the game. The Isle of Agramon is an exciting new
battlefield that will further intensify the conflict between the three Realms.
Now RvR action is only a short bridge crossing away for most players.”

terrain, notable landmarks, and wide open fields perfect for large battles.

from bridges and small land masses located near the beachhead keeps (Bledmeer
Faste in Midgard, Dun Crauchon in Hibernia and Caer Benowyc in Albion). Players
may also reach the shore entrances to the island by swimming.

island, for a total of six. The main portcullis doors can be destroyed and
repaired.

on the island.

The Birth Of Agramon

On the day of Agramon’s birth, a great
earthquake tore through Hadrian’s Wall, Emain Macha, and Odin’s Gate. As they
scanned the shores of the North Sea, watchmen at the beachhead keeps of Caer
Benowyc, Dun Crauchon, and Bledmeer Faste cried out, startled by what they
beheld. Massive waves surged over the docks, sending the dock masters and
mistresses running to the nearby towers for shelter. At the same time, a great
thundering erupted from the center of the North Sea. The terrible event was
unlike anything even the most seasoned lords of war had experienced. For a long
moment, every battle seemed to pause, and the frontier fell silent.

Immediately, Lady Benowyc, Chieftain Crauchon,
and Jarl Bledmeer sent scouting parties out into the sea to investigate the
disturbance. What was found was a shock to all. New land had risen from the sea:
a great, mysterious island unclaimed by any Realm. Word of this strange new
island spread quickly among the captains charged with safeguarding the
coastlines of the Realms. When tales of the eerie landmass were reported to the
keep lords and ladies, additional scouting parties were dispatched to gather
further information. The returning scouts reported that the island stretched
across the expanse of the North Sea, nearly filling it, and was riddled with
corruption and populated by fiendish creatures. The name Agramon was whispered
on its foul winds, they said, and all who returned from the island spoke it with
despair.

The keep lords hastily constructed bridges
that would allow passage from the beachhead keeps to the isle, and
fortifications were ordered to repulse the attacks of Agramon’s minions,
commanded by a great demon lord. Even with such safeguards in place, the minions
of Agramon still attacked in relentless waves. A bloody battle surged across the
isle claiming many lives as the demonic horde pressed in, trying to infiltrate
the frontiers of all three Realms. The battle was long and hard, but each Realm
managed to keep hold of its own lands. Eventually, overwhelmed by the strength
of the three Realms, the demon lord was cast out and the corruption receded. To
this day the core of the Isle of Agramon remains tainted, and only the stoutest
of Albion, Hibernia, and Midgard dare to explore its depths.
