general

It's time to settle old scores, create new allegiances, and unleash the bloodshed as our PvP event goes live!

For this event there are no allies, no loyalties, only death and chaos!

Will you answer Mordred’s call, or will you cower in the safety of order? The choice is yours. Choose chaos. Choose betrayal. Choose Mordred.




Players can now teleport into Old Frontiers Breifine via the Emissary of Bloodshed NPC at their realm's relic town.

Mordred

Killing enemy players, including betraying your own realm, fuels Mordred's thirst for blood, drawing him to the battlefield. Those who do not reach his high standards for bloodshed will be empowered, those he deems unworthy will be punished, but all will revel in death. 

The following boons will be active within Mordred's radius:

• Additional 50% Realm Point Bonus - note this buff stacks with any 50% OR 100% potion + a Battlefield OR Buggane potion. Battlefield + Buggane will not stack with each other, as is it in NF
• Each single kill within Mordred's radius counts as two kills for quest credit

Mordred will initially spawn in the center of Old Breifine and make his way between all 4 keeps.


Breifine Bonuses

The following bonuses and buffs will be active throughout the zone of Old Breifine:

• 50% Realm Point Bonus
• 5% damage to all players below Realm Rank 8
• Damage reduction to players as follows:
  • R1L0 - R3L9 - 15%

Important Note:

• We highly suggest duplicating your game directory and using the duplicate copy as a Pendragon-only game directory *before* patching and testing on Pendragon.
  • ​This means duplicating the entire "Labyrinth" folder (usually found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Labyrinth) to another location and using that copied folder exclusively for Pendragon testing.
  • ​If you do not do this, you *will* experience issues when patching from Pendragon back to live.
    • To force the live client to fix these issues, you will need to delete the mft.myp in your game's directory and then run the camelot.exe patcher again.

For those interested in testing on Pendragon, follow the character copy process here!
