So being part RPG, there is presumably an epic story. Could you tell us a bit about the story and where the player fits in?

Volker: In Eo, the world of SpellForce, thirteen magicians – blinded by the promises of some evil gods - have ignited chaos and mayhem in their greedy pursuit for god-like power. Summoned by the magicians through dark rituals, fierce elemental powers have torn the world’s continents apart. Remaining are small islands, floating in the sky, connected by magic portals. Now, eight years after the end of this huge sorcerer’s war, evil tries to make its way back into the world and to finish what it once began. But prophecies tell of a man – a human. Damned for immortality – bound to the powers of the blood runes, he needs to stop the armies of darkness. And this hero, of course, is you – the player.
