About Disciples II
Dark Prophecy takes you back to the magical realm of the Sacred Lands. The four
races, the Empire, the Mountain Clans, the Legions of the Damned, and the Undead
Hordes, continue the battle for the destiny of their gods.
Guardians of the Light leads you into the fantastic world of Disciples II as
either the Empire or the Mountain Clans. The Empire is decaying from within as
self-proclaimed rulers struggle for control of the now vacant throne, and a
cruel inquisition is sweeping across the human lands fostering rebellion and
misery. Meanwhile, the Clans, recovering from their near-destruction, begin to
reunite their tribes. They have received divine instructions, and now seek to
uncover an ancient ritual that will let them communicate with their god, Wotan.
Servants of the Dark brings you into the never-ending quest for supremacy as
either the Undead Hordes or the Legions of the Damned. On the dark side, the
Legions of the Damned enact a plan to spread Bethrezen’s plague across Nevendaar.
They sense the threat brought on by the rebirth of the Elven god and will stop
at nothing to steal this power for their own self-interest. Mortis and her army
of Undead Hordes, however, are not to be ignored. After all, her intention
remains to inflict revenge on her husband, Gallean, after he rejected her for
becoming a twisted and heartless beast.
Rise of the Elves allows you to play as the elder Elven race as they struggle to
reclaim their forests from the four primary forces in Nevendaar. Driven by an
unpredictable god who urges them to battle, the Elves begin a massive march
towards their fate. The Noble Elves rule their people from elaborate fortresses
within the trees. Their queen is a just leader, preferring the path of peace for
her kind. The Wild Elves have become forest predators. Their intolerance of the
civilized world has reached new extremes, and they have reduced themselves to
highwaymen and bandits. The thought of their race allying with another is
appalling. An oracle’s message, however, tells of Gallean’s intentions to lash
out against his timeless enemies forcing the Noble and the Wild Elves to unite
their scattered tribes.
