Skupina srdnatých hrdinů se spojila, aby podnikla nebezpečnou cestu napříč válkou pustošeným Overworldem. Jejich cílem je porazit Arci-illagera a jeho obávanou armádu. Odkud se Arci-illager vůbec vzal? Malý Archie nikdy nestál o nepřekonatelnou moc. Ale před týráním a ponižováním ostatních illagerů se ukryl v jeskyni, kde objevil cosi, co nadobro změnilo jeho život.
V zoufalé snaze ochránit svoji zemi před hordami bestiálních charrů zažehl král Adelbern všemocný Ničivý oheň, aby nájezdníky odrazil. Magie ale dokáže být dvousečným mečem – Oheň sežehl jak charry, tak lidi. Zatímco mrtvoly charrů stále doutnaly, Ascaloňané povstali z mrtvých, zuřivost jejich krále je totiž proměnila v duchy pověřené ochranou říše… navždy. Z kdysi mocného království zůstal jen strašidelný stín jeho původní slávy. O staletí později potomci Ascaloňanů, kteří utekli do Kryty, čelí ze všech stran obležení. Aby zachránila lidstvo, pokouší se královna Jennah uzavřít s nenáviděnými charry mír. Zbývá překonat poslední překážku. Charrské legie nepodepíší smlouvu o příměří, dokud se jim z ruin padlého Ascalonu nevrátí nejcennější relikvie, Khan-urův spár. Do děsivé, válkou rozervané země se pro Spár vydává družina dobrodruhů, každého přitom sužují vlastní démoni. Pokud artefakt nezískají, zanikne i veškerá naděje na mír mezi lidmi a charry – nemrtvý král vládnoucí Ascalonu se ho však nemíní vzdát a ne všichni si přejí mír!
