Darkness Rising begins a new chapter in the epic saga of Dark Age of Camelot. A new evil threatens the land and the mightiest heroes in the Realms are called into service. To help vanquish the new foe, players can obtain faithful mounts, powerful new weapons, new class abilities, and the right to be called Champions of the Realm. For the first time, players will be able to charge into battle on to backs of majestic player-controlled warhorses and other more fantastic steeds, such as unicorns and nightmares. Each mount can be embellished and customized with a wide variety of barding, saddlebags, and armor.
Enter the service of your king and earn the right to be called Champion. Earn new Champion levels that give you new skills, new powers, and access to new equipment in the King’s Magery. In addition, players will undertake new Champion quests and be rewarded with powerful, class-specific Champion weapons that gain in power as they progress through their quest. A darkness rising in the Realms… Years of strife and conflict have taken their toll upon the peoples of Albion, Midgard and Hibernia. Increasing occurrences of rebel uprisings threaten to plunge the Realms into turmoil and chaos, and in this desperate hour, a call for help has gone out. Only a true champion can stem the tides of revolt and save the Realms from destruction from within. Answering this call, the player must embark on a quest to crush the rebels seeking to depose the Realms’ self-anointed rulers. However, all is not as it seems. Behind the uprisings, dark powers are seeking to exploit the three Realms during their time of need. From the halls of the infamous dungeon, Darkness Falls, these sinister forces are massing a mighty invasion force to subjugate all the Realms and establish a nightmarish new order on Earth. New foes have emerged to challenge the might of Albion, Midgard and Hibernia. A new darkness is rising in the lands. The courage and might of a true Champion is all that stands between the forces of evil and total domination.
