“Darkness Rising” begins a new chapter in the epic saga of “Dark Age of Camelot.” 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 of the Realm can stem the tides of revolt and save their Realm from destruction from within. Answering this call, the player must embark on a quest to crush the rebels seeking to depose the Realm’s self-anointed ruler. 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 champion is all that stands between the forces of evil and total domination.

In “Darkness Rising,” players will be able to win the right to be called Champion and ride their own mounts into conflict. Majestic player controlled horses and other more fantastic steeds can be embellished and customized as players complete the appropriate quests. In addition, new levels of advancement will be available, along with class-specific Champion Weapons for those who earn the right to be called Champion of the Realm.
