Unique hero in the Legions of the Damned

Demons...Legions of the Damned, spawns of Bethrezen's bosom - those who were brought to life by this cursed angel. Dark hour it was that they appeared in Nevendaar pursuing power and longing for their sovereign's freedom. Their hearts are mere stone and sand. Their need in taking revenge gives birth to demonic essence that overtakes their souls. Each and every of them has its own source of hatred, his history of Falling, though...

The game start-up positions are as follows: The Empire that was severely tortured and heavily beaten while fighting the Elven Alliance is licking its wounds, the Dwarfs moved deeper into the heights of the land and no one have heard about them for a long while. Only Elves appear to live a fruitful and prosperous life exploring and reclaiming the territories that once the Empire possessed.

Demons...demons would strive for the same values they did over these years - revenge, cold and outrageous, and power, strong and unlimited. They'll be deeply involved into bringing chaos and destruction.

Their routine strategy in attacking foes is sudden emerging on the surface, setting the heather on fire and vanishing into thin air (not air, actually) before the opponent has enough time to react. Very seldom do they embark on more challengeable, massive offensives since it's too hard to Bethrezen to keep so many portals open simultaneously. It takes up too much strength.

We'll meet our old friend Ashkael, demonic capital's guardian, and many other units we're familiar with. Most of them can be proud of having a new look and outfits, however they'll be quire recognizable. You'll face something brand new and appalling, though. One of these daunting creatures is Bethrezen's avatar. The key hero of the Legions of the Damned is Haarhus, Bethrezen's true disciple, an invincible warrior whose sole life target is to serve his sovereign. That's Haarhus who'll be there with the player walking the lands of Nevendaar and scorching it in the demonic campaign that starts with...a blinding flash.

A new star appeared in the sky over Nevendaar torn apart with endless wars and sufferings. The star blazed through and fell down in the outskirts of the Empire. Every faction has its own explanation and interpretation of what happened and what a new prophecy they should await. While priests were attempting to unthread the sign, Bethrezen already knew the answer. He, who once was raised to Heavens, couldn't miss the correct answer. He just darted a look at the sky and realized that gods decided to intervene in the deeds of mortals and sent over their messenger whose sole target was to determine the fate of Nevendaar. The messenger's mission was something beyond Bethrezen's sphere of interest, though. He made up his mind to capture a marvelous creature and use its power to get back to Heavens.

Bethrezen summoned his most devoted and faithful servant - Haarhus - and ordered him to deliver the sky messenger. No matter what costs incurred.

As the game starts Haarhus doesn't perceive himself as a personality. The most important thing he faces is completing Bethrezen's tasks and serving him like a one-man dog. Haarhus is an unusual demon, though. Despite all the rituals performed on his body and soul he still keeps some of his original identity.

Being so close to the sky messenger makes his soul start melting which causes the inner conflict. First this conflict was only superficial but as the story unfolds it is getting even harder for him to suppress his feelings. Traveling around the sacred lands with the angel besides he meets some places that seem to be vaguely familiar, creatures that seem to have known him before...He can't escape a "trapped" feeling...that some unfinished duty is awaiting him. He faces a hard choice: keep serving his master or step into uncertainty...
