The Legend of Dead Kel is a downloadable expansion for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, developed by Big Huge Games and released in 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The add-on sends players to Gallows End, a remote island in northern Amalur where the notorious pirate Dead Kel and his Hanged Men have resumed terrorizing the surrounding seas. Traveling alongside the eccentric Captain Brattigan, players investigate a secret of such magnitude that it has sparked wars and brought down entire kingdoms. The expansion introduces new weapons and Twist of Fate Cards alongside a roster of enemies unique to the island. A standout feature is Gravehal Keep, a cliffside fortress that players can claim and develop as a base of operations, representing the largest player housing option in the base game's framework. The content is rounded out by an extended main questline and numerous side quests.
