[edit] Plot and setting



[edit] Setting


The game takes place in the land of Urak. The people of this world
worship one of eight religions. Each religion has an opposite in the
circle of life and the people of those faiths are bitter enemies. The
atmosphere of the game is inspired by the works of Tolkien, as well as Dungeons and Dragons.

[edit] Plot and characters


Balkoth, the lord of Death, has embarked on a campaign to destroy
all other faiths in honor of the dark god Golgoth. The other lords
scramble to expand their ranks to defend themselves against this dark
threat but also to once and for all destroy their life long nemesis.
The Special Edition also contains the Legends of Urak quest pack.
It's a set of 5 individual quests that revolve around stories unrelated
to the main plot of the game.

[edit] Special edition


The Legends of Urak featured in the special edition of the game
revolve around Fables and Stories. Earth, Fire and Death each have a
unique quest while Order has two quests. The Earth quest is based of
the epic poem Beowulf
but involves many original battles and adventures Beowulf partakes in.
The Fire quest revolves around a fire sorceress named Crispin who seeks
out and slays a colossal ice drake in order to return the flow of lava
to the fire capital. The Death adventure focuses on the necromancer's ability to raise the dead and employ them in battle to ultimately defeat a lich in battle and retrieve his staff and with it his power. The first Order adventure is loosely based on the legends of Merlin and King Arthur and ends with the retrieval of the Holy Grail and death of Mordred.
The second Order adventure is only activated by clicking in the center
of the circle of life in the quests menu and has a unique lord named
Sigfried who transforms as the game progresses. He saves the valkyrie Brunhilde and defeats Attila the Hun.

The game was intended to combine elements of Heroes of Might and Magic II and Lords of the Realm II.
