Description
: It’s been a generation since you vanquished
the evil that plagued the Land of Ehb, and now…a
new menace has awakened. In Dungeon Siege II,
the sequel to the best-selling RPG from Gas
Powered Games, you will be called on to again
wield sword and spell to save the world from
a growing abomination many years in the making.
A thousand years ago, the crusaders of Azunai
crossed swords with the legions of Zaramoth
in the final battle of a century-long rebellion.
As the tyrannical
god Zaramoth struck the final blow through Azunai’s
trembling shield, the earth shook. In that moment,
the forces of magic were unchained, and both
armies were consumed in a brilliant cataclysm
that stretched for leagues across the Plain
of Tears. Only a scarred wasteland remained
as final testament to the First Age of Man.
And for a millennium, magic has continued to
spread to the farthest corners of the world,
freely flowing to any who would command it.
But the tide
of magic has begun to wane, heeding instead
the call of an ancient legacy. From the Plain
of Tears a new heir beckons, and with each day
his strength grows. Consuming those who submit,
eradicating those who resist. With none to oppose
his ascendance, the circle will be complete,
and an ancient age will begin anew. What fate
will befall the Second Age of Man? The time
for judgment is nigh.
