New alliances to make. New enemies to pursue. Live the legend of Camelot.  Dare to live the legend!

Realm of Hibernia
Inspired by Celtic lore, Hibernia is a land of both the natural as well as the magical. Hibernians are the most magical of the three realms - almost all their classes can cast spells.

Realm of Midgard
Drawing on Viking mythology, Midgard is situated int he snowy north. The Norse are experts at melee combat, and are devoted to their gods, from which their magic is derived.

Realm of Albion
Based on Arthurian legends, Albion is home to the heirs of Arthur's Kingdom. The Britons are a mosaic of dedicated fighters, devout clerics, and wise mages.

Dark Age of Camelot Shrouded Isles Expansion Pack

Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles is the first expansion pack available for Dark Age of Camelot players. It extends the story of the original game with new character classes, new races, and three new continents to explore displayed in an all-new state-of-the-art graphics engine.  Cloaked in mystery, consumed by chaos and ripe for plunder, three new island continents broaden the dangerous and fantastical Realms of Camelot. Join with thousands on-line in this expansion pack to an incredible multiplayer role-playing game.

Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles presents the user with an even more beautifully detailed view of the game's world. Albion, Hibernia, and Midgard have never looked so good, with crisp details, smooth animation, and lots of new graphical effects.

New Graphical Features:

• Reflective surfaces
• Realistic water with reflection with wakes as you move through it.
• Shadows on players, monsters, and world objects.
• Super high-resolution textures make every player, monster, and world object (including the ground!) more detailed.
• Animation blending makes all monsters and characters move more smoothly and realistically.
• Mip-mapping reduces texture "sparkle" at long distances.
• New terrain system supports cliffs and other vertical surfaces not supported in the "outside" terrain areas of the world in the original game.
• Faster frame rate.
• and much more!

New Ambient Music Soundtrack
Shrouded Isles has much more that just graphical changes - there's also an entirely new ambient music system featured in Shrouded Isles that may turn out to be revolutionary in its implementation - we've taken our random ambient sound generation system and applied it to music, resulting in almost totally random music playing in the background. The music is written in a multi-track format so that different bits and pieces of it can be applied randomly together in a way that is not intrusive, but adds life and atmosphere to the game. Our sound engineer implemented this music it so that the game plays different pieces of ambient music depending on what zone you are in, the time of day, and other factors as well. So, as you travel across the world of Shrouded Isles, you'll hear different random tracks playing all the time, depending on your location and time. It's a really neat system that provides a real sense of atmosphere as you are playing - almost like a movie soundtrack.
