About

Join the quest for a united Camelot.

To serve King Arthur. To battle evil. To risk all for the honor of Camelot.

Set in the early years of Camelot, you take on the role of Gawain, a heroic young knight about to be ordained into King Arthur's Order of the Round Table. Your quest is to destroy the King's half sister- the evil sorceress Morgana- before she destroys Camelot and all that King Arthur has created.

As you travel throughout the kingdom in search of Morgana, interact with a host of colorful characters who will either help or hinder you in your quest.

Morgana will use all her powers to defeat you, so you must be quick and ruthless! The future of Camelot depends on your victory.
