The Story

When we worked on the story for Elven Legacy, we had several goals in mind. The first was to make it easy for the player to understand in the context of the wargame genre while still being sufficiently intense and interesting to hold the player?s attention.

We focused our attention on two main heroes: the old elven lord Sagittel, and the young (by elven standards) sorceress Gylven. But how could we deliver the tension of the story to the player? Through dialogue and in-game movies, of course?and we think we?ve succeeded! The characters of Sagittel and Gylven are not static, as they develop over time. The events which occur during the campaign change the heroes and their views.

Sagittel (through the player) has to make several difficult choices: for instance, which way to go, or how to react in certain situations. Should he travel through lands infested with zombies, or through the valley controlled by thieves? Should he attack villages filled with rioting peasants and earn gold, or should he spare their lives and earn experience as a reward? Should he go through the lands of the dwarves, or should he seek a shortcut through the sacred valley and risk activating the power of ancient spells?

At the very end of the campaign, Sagittel faces a particularly difficult choice, which remains up to the player to decide...but no further spoilers are to be had here!
