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.

Disciples II Gold is available for
purchase at all major retailers at a suggested retail price of $19.99. Rated
Teen by ESRB. For more information on Disciples II Gold please visit
