Battle Herald: News From The Frontlines VIII

Posted by Kai Schober | 2011 Jun 14 10:55 -0400 GMT

Have you ever had problems with unwanted neighbors? On Sunday the Battle Herald witnessed the DAoC way of dealing with them. Following the Albion army lead by Gerreniel on their quest to throw all invaders out of Albion while keeping hold of the two stolen Strength relics in Caer Hurbury and Caer Renaris, the Battle Herald was lead to Caer Berksted Outpost which was occupied by Hibernia and already under siege. When the fighters from Albion arrived at the scene, the door was already smashed open and the Hibernians had retreated to the higher floors. Still, the Albion army wasn’t able to enter the ground floor, because that was occupied by several raiders from Midgard who defended the entrance as well as the stairs.

Hello World

It’s been a while since I spoke with you, and I wanted to let you in on a little known secret.  Dark Age of Camelot is turning 10 this year! OK, so not such a well kept secret, but what we are doing for the 10th anniversary is. To start things off, we are celebrating 10 years of DAoC for the full year, not just a few days in October.  We have a lot of things planned, so we will be able to continuously introduce new stuff over the months to come. While we want to keep some surprises, I am happy to announce four of the big ticket items.

Battle Herald: News From The Frontlines VII

Did Merlin feel the tremors in his eternal sleep? Forces from Albion, Hibernia and Midgard filled the air with battle screams fighting over his staff during the last days. Stolen by Hibernia some days ago and kept in one of their keeps, Merlin’s Staff was pilfered by Midgard raiders Sunday morning when Hestina carried it into the snowy lands.

Merciless fights in confined space build the theme of last weekend. Although Hibernia was under attack and lost the power relic for a short while, the major confrontations between the realms focused in a completely different area - on the battlefield of Thidranki.
