Greatly amused by Alric's survival, he tries yet again to remove Alric from his way by sending him to his own domain, where to he, in Alric's absence, invited several Warlords in order to craft an Alliance against the Beast Invaders. To complete this mission, he first disguises himself as a wizard of the Empire and sends Alric to Castle Margoth, hoping he will be killed in the fighting. His quest is to seize the Heart of the Void, an artifact that was created by the Dark Dreamer in order to melt this world into their own.

The leader chanter of the Fallen Swarms, who obeys the Ageless Ones, the leader of the Fallen. Centuries later, Princess Domina promises him to release his soul if he agrees to tell her the location of the seals, and Ruannon, without a second of hesitation agrees to comply, greatly easing the work of the Fallen. He discovered the true nature of the Heart of the Void, a stone which the Fallen can use to melt the world, in which the stone resides, into their own dark plane of existence and crafted the Three Seals, which prevent the Stone from working and as a last line of defense constructed, using mostly only his vast amounts of magical power, the Obsidian Tower and founded the Council of Mages to guard the Stone and the Order of Ruannon to watch over the Seals and the Chamber of Screams.ДЄfter his death, his remains where buried in an elven forest. He defeated the Two Fathers of the Fallen and sealed them away in the Chamber of Screams. Ruannon, in his lifetime, fought the Fallen several times and uncovered much of their dark plans. He gets great importance in the story when a rebelling lord, Vangarath captures Alric, and he has to liberate the wizard.ДЄ wizard who died ages ago and is considered the greatest wizard of the Obsidian Tower.ДЄlric do Rei, as stated by Lord Keran, is largely like Ruannon and therefore can be his true successor and ultimately the person ending the menace of the Fallen race. He is very brave as he faces every kind of hideous creatures without any fear, and he never loses his mind.

He's in command of Noran's garrison and he's the Lord of Castle Margoth, as well as Alric's best friend and disciple. He has the habit of surviving the most dangerous situations with ease, an ability which greatly angers his enemies, particularly his nemesis, Keran Kessertin. It seems that only his visions and knowledge of spells can save the Empire from total annihilation and he's also often called 'Chaosbringer', because of his 'defence' of Castle Margoth, which ended up destroying not just most of the armies of the Beast Invaders, but the castle itself as well. His master dies just before the Beasts' invasion begins, so Alric has no other choice but to take his master's place as High Lord of the Council of Mages, an organization of powerful wizards who govern Noran. He is a young mage of the Obsidian Tower. The Empire and The Beast units level individually and The Fallen as collective by gathering experience points in their Soul Trap. Almost all units in the game can level up to level 5 except for mechanical units, phoenixes and most of the spell-caster units. By gaining a level a unit becomes stronger. It follows the 'old-school' style of RTS gameplay that was commonplace in the 1990s in titles such as Warcraft II, StarCraft and the Age of Empires series.ДЄ unit can gain levels in the game through killing enemy units and so gather experience points.

Different unit types are built at different structures. The player can also select units and give them orders to attack, move or build. The player has to gather resources (gold, wood, and gems) to produce units and buildings, as well as to research spells and upgrades. The gameplay appears to be very similar to Warcraft III, especially considering the factions involved: The Empire (Humans, Elves, Dwarves, etc.), the Beasts (Lizardmen and other barbaric humanoid creatures), and the Fallen (Undead and eldritch monsters).
