The Pict encampments in all three Realms have been the site of frequent clashes these past few months. As the forces of Albion, Midgard, and Hibernia push back on the foreign invaders, the scouting parties just come back renewed and in full force.
But what is their purpose? What is it that they mean to glean from having eyes in unfriendly territory? It seems that the answer to that question may come sooner rather than later. The Kings have received word that massive forces are amassing off the shores of the realms. The Picts are making a play for all three homelands, and it is up to everyone to defend their Realms.
In response to the increased threat, the following NPCs have come forth to aid in the realm’s defense:
For Albion visit Sir Yvain in Castle Sauvage
For Midgard visit Sinfjotli Sigmundarson in Svasud Faste
For Hibernia visit Fionn mac Cumhaill in Druim Ligen
Don't let the Picts gain a foothold in Snowdownia Fortress, Vindsaul Faste or Druim Cain!

The new relic system that was introduced with patch 1.112 was put to test several times during the long weekend. After several fights raging back and forth, Keeps changing ownership, and several heroes slain, Sunday night witnessed the first successful raid after the patch. We saw massive clashes between the armies of all three realms, but in the end it was Albion who brought home Lug's Spear of Lightning.
While we are preparing a video of this historic event, here is the battle report for you to enjoy:

All live servers are now back online and running with game update 1.112. This version has changes the way Relics are held and raided, so make sure that you have read the patch notes before you plan the next attack. Please note, due to the changes to the Relic System on Ywain, all relics have been reset to their new home locations and all keeps and towers have been reset to their home realm - let the raids get started!
We want to thank everyone who helped us to test the new system.
Edit: We are aware of the issue with keeps on Gaheris and we are working on a fix.
See you in the frontiers!

On Tuesday, the ongoing fights in the level 35 - 39 battleground Molvik contracted some cow madness when the Minotaur Hero of Rob aka Grakulen joined Hibernia’s defense of the central keep. Rob normally hosts Wayback Wednesday for MMORPG.com and for almost four hours he roamed the battleground accompanied by Talal Saad, Content Designer for Dark Age of Camelot, Kai Schober, Community Manager at BioWare, and several helpful players - as well as skilled enemies.
If you had no chance to watch the live stream, here is the recording of the session.
Molvik was the second of four stops in Hibernia – the next being Cathal Valley – before the journey restarts in Albion or Midgard.
See you in the Frontiers!

Albion was under heavy attack this weekend. Midgard and Hibernia conquered most of the keeps in Albion’s frontier and roamed the lands freely. Midgard established its foothold around Caer Berkstead. In the meantime Hibernia took possession of Caer Erasleigh, Caer Boldiam, Caer Sursbrooke and Caer Hurbury.

The weekend is closing in and the ongoing fights in the frontiers will escalate once again. Both relics from Albion are currently in Hibernia, while Hibernia's strength relic is in Midgard and the power relic is in Albion. Only Midgard is in possession of his own relics.
At the moment, Albion has captured Dun Crauchon as a foothold. Will they get their relics back?

See you in the frontiers!
