About Disciples II Gold
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.
Features
- Guardians of the Light leads you into the fantastic world of Disciples II as either the Empire or the Mountain Clans. 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.
- 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. 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.
- Five New Bonus Quests
