Matt Firor Interview

Mythic Entertainment’s Matt Firor is the subject of a new interview over at GameZone, where they’ve asked him several questions about their upcoming expansion pack, Shrouded Isles. An excerpt:

Q: Obviously from the name of the expansion pack, you are adding territory. Tell us a bit about the new realms?

Matt: “We’re not adding new ‘˜realms’ instead, we’re adding territory to each of the three existing Realms (Hibernia, Midgard, Albion). These new areas are islands found off the coast of each realm. Each of the islands has a mystery associated with it usually one that inolves the ancient history of the realm involved. Players will find that if they want to find more about the history of their realm, they’ll have to travel to the new island and explore a bit.

“An example of this is that the new territory added to Albion is the fabled island of Avalon. Avalon is no longer a friendly place, though once a part of Arthur’s Realm of Albion, Avalon has been taken over by a race of creatures bent on the total subjugation of Albion. Not to go too far into the backstory at this point, suffice it to say that the enemies of Arthur have allied with these creatures and it is up to the players to liberate Avalon. The other two realms will have plots of similar complexity.”
