THE HERALD

The celebrations continue as Dark Age of Camelot marks its 25th Anniversary with a journey through the game’s past, and plenty of fighting in the present!

Across twenty-five years, adventurers have explored distant lands, faced countless enemies, and fought an endless war in the Frontiers. For this special anniversary event, some familiar faces from those adventures are making an unexpected return.

The Echoes event begins in Hadrian’s Wall, where old foes, powerful encounters, and RvR awaits.

• Albion: Ancient Paladin
• Midgard: Ancient Thane
• Hibernia: Ancient Champion

Echoes Through Time

Familiar creatures from across Dark Age of Camelot’s history have found their way into Hadrian’s Wall. Throughout the zone, adventurers will discover camps of enemies drawn from memorable locations and eras across the game. From the lands of Classic Camelot to Shrouded Isles and beyond, some may be enemies you haven’t crossed paths with in many years!

These creatures have been adjusted for the Frontiers and can be found at camps scattered throughout the event area. Take a ride through Hadrian’s Wall and see how many old acquaintances you recognize!

• There is no quest associated with these mobs,  realm points from these mobs are only awarded to group sizes of 5 and below

Echoes of the Past

Not every visitor from the past is so easily dispatched. Three enemies from Albion’s history have emerged in Hadrian’s Wall more powerful than you will remember:

• Weno’iak the Enlightened has left Avalon City to bring his deadly teachings to the ruins near Caer Benowyc.
• Princess Mhira has left the shores of Inishail Island behind and now holds court at Folley Lake.
• Meurig has left the twisting passages of Keltoi Fogou behind and now stalks the ruins near Caer Benowyc Spire.

Seek out and defeat one of these powerful foes to complete the [25th Anniversary] Echoes of the Past quest.

• This quest auto completes, auto re-news, and awards realm points in the area of Hadrian’s Wall and for the group who gets the direct kill.
• Must not be stealthed or dead passed a certain time.

The War Rages On

The enemies of the past may have returned, but the Realm War continues. During the event, players can complete the repeatable [25th Anniversary] The War Rages On quest by:

• Capturing a tower in Hadrian’s Wall
• Defeating 5 enemy players in the event zone

Fight for control of Hadrian’s Wall, defend your realm’s gains, and drive your enemies from the battlefield!

• Capturing a tower in Hadrian’s Wall is Battlegroup/Group/Solo credit.
• Auto completes, auto re-news, and awards realm points.

War Without End

One battle is never enough. Complete [25th Anniversary] The War Rages On five times to complete the [25th Anniversary] War Without End quest and receive an Echoes Reward Chest.

The chest contains a random reward drawn from a special collection of anniversary goodies, including:
