You can play
the entire campaign, in unrestricted free play
mode, or as player vs. player. In his fortress
of Shaddar-Nur, the necromancer Shaddar, a pariah
of the Band of Mages from Mystdale Castle, plans
his triumphant return to the world of Ancaria:
To strengthen his magic powers, he summons a
Sakkara Demon, whose power he will absorb himself.
These Sakkara Demons rule over those damned
to rot in hell, the undead.
Not since the
Era of the Gods have any of these creatures
set foot in Ancaria, not since the Seraphim
army drove them back to their dimension during
the Wars of the Gods. However, Shaddar's experiment
fails. The Sakkara Demon escapes and turns on
his summoner… In the south of the Kingdom, the
village of Bellevue is beset by robbers and
slave traders sent by the Sakkara Sect to find
suitable victims for their unholy magic rituals.
At the same time,
the Kingdom is infiltrated by Goblins, forerunners
of the Orcs of Khorad-Nur. Under the command
of Sergeant Treville, a loyal veteran of Prince
Valor, the heroes first fight in the lands bordering
the Orcish wastelands against attacks by the
Goblins and the Orcs, who are leaving their
desert in hordes and venturing ever deeper into
the Kingdom of the dying King Aarnum.
In order to repel
the enemy troops at Wyvern Pass, Prince Valor
dispatches the heroes to ask Baron DeMordrey,
the King's power-hungry Field Marshal, for reinforcements.
However, DeMordrey orders his notorious Sharuka
Guards to kill the heroes and sends the Orcs
to massacre the Prince's troops at Wyvern Pass.
Returning to the battlefield after narrowly
escaping the assassination attempt by the Sharuka
Guards, the heroes find the fatally wounded
Treville, who tells them that Prince Valor managed
to escape to his mistress, Vilya, Baroness of
Mascarell.
By the time the
heroes reach the Barony of Mascarell, Baron
DeMordrey has taken control of Ancaria following
the death of Aarnum and his troops have occupied
large areas of the country. The heroes manage
to rescue Baroness Vilya, who leads them to
Tyr-Fasul, a long-forgotten forest stronghold
in the Land of the Elves. The Prince, who is
now believed to be dead, and his few remaining
followers take refuge here.
