Three islands of civilization remained, lost in the vastness of the Stormlands. The land broke apart as the stabilizers failed, and the three Realms were torn asunder by explosive magic. In the center, they founded Camelot, the glorious place of peace known as the One True City. Each forged a Realm out of the tiny area of habitable land left in the world. With the power of these artifacts, they became what they were most like inside: Arthur, Sigurd, and Nuada. Three brothers appeared, and took the three swords.
They forged three swords of power and who ever can pull the sword from anvil will become a king. The Emissaries gifted the diverse races with immortality in order to repopulate the world. Then came the Emissaries mysterious creatures from beyond the Veil who came to this world during the Piercing. Sometimes, the changes made them stronger usually, the unchecked magic made humans into monsters. Abominations and new races were forged from the fires of magic and winds of the Veilstorms, creating something new out of humanity. These storms tore across the earth and changed everything. Its violent reactions caused the Veilstorms. Some hold that the Veil itself is alive a mysterious entity that did not like being pierced. Through that tear in reality came the Dragons. The Veil was the only border between our world and a stranger, more magical world Beyond. Taking place after an apocalyptic event known as First Breaking of the World. Jacobs denies considering the game a spiritual successor to DAoC although stating he could have legally done so had he chosen to.

Currently there is no release date available for it.Ĭamelot Unchained is considered to be a spiritual successor to Mark Jacobs' prior game Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC) and will prominently feature a Player versus Player (PvP)-centric design which Jacobs now calls "Tri-Realm". The game is based on its own proprietary game engine engineered for server-side physics and large-scale battles, and as such will focus primarily on open World PVP rather than "theme park" instanced encounters or battlegrounds.Ĭamelot Unchained entered Beta 1 phase on July 31, 2018.
