Hokan Ashir is a major antagonist in the SpellForce series. While aiding the [[Phoenix Bearer|Rune]] [[Shadow Warrior|Warriors]] in [[SpellForce: The Order of Dawn|Order of Dawn]] and in [[SpellForce: Breath of Winter|Breath of Winter]], he is the main antagonist of the [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix|Shadow of the Phoenix]] expansion. He was one of the thirteen [[The Circle|Circle mages]] and the most powerful necromancer the world has ever known'''.'''

== Biography ==

=== Early Years ===
[[File:Anktahr.gif|thumb|Anktahr, Hokan's former mentor]]
Hokan spent his early days in the city of his birth, [[Kaith Halur]], on [[Xu]]. As a young mage, he would eventually join the magical order of [[Zerbites]] under the apprenticeship of one of their leaders [[Anktahr]]. The Zerbites were responsible for protecting the border of [[Xu]] and researching the dangers of the [[Black Jungle]].
=== Dark Ascension ===
[[File:Mask of Belial.gif|left|thumb|Mask of Belial]]
During an expedition into the black jungle, the [[Zerbites]] found the [[Bone Temple]] of [[Zarach]]. What exactly occurred inside is unknown except to Hokan, who emerged from the temple wearing the [[Mask of Belial]], a powerful artefact belonging to the demi-god of death [[Belial]]. When Hokan came back he was not the same man who entered the temple, neither mentally nor magically. He betrayed his former allies and almost single-handedly wiped out the entire order of the Zerbites. Hokan aimed to steal their secrets and succeeded to a degree, but before he could steal them all, the [[Zerbites]] filled their fortresses with traps and puzzles which this act caused them to be trapped within their own fortress and starve to death, but this was something they preferred over handing their secrets to him. He fought and defeated [[Anktahr]] in a duel but soon realized the duel was nothing more than a delaying tactic for the other [[zerbites]] to arm the traps of their fortress. Hokan tried infiltrating their fortresses but was unsuccessful and eventually gave up. The furious magician unleashed his anger on his former mentor and made him a [[Rune Warriors|Rune Warrior]]. In the following years, he kept psychologically tormenting [[Anktahr]] until he was turned from a wise man into an insane and devious undead.

Not long after, he left [[Xu]] and joined [[The Circle]] on their invitation, as the Circle had taken note of Hokan's increasing power and wished to keep an eye on him.
=== The Circle ===
[[File:SoulForger1.png|left|thumb|300x300px|Soul Forger, his greatest creation]]
During his time as one of [[the Circle]] mages, Hokan became the most powerful necromancer to have ever lived. His relationship with the other circle mages is mostly unknown but it is known that he had a fierce rivalry with [[Uram the Red]]. He was also known to take on apprentices, such as the mage [[Ismail]], though we cannot say when he started with this practice.
==== The piper ====
According to [[Rohen Tahir]], Hokan had big ambitions ever since joining the Circle. One of his greatest goals was to find a way to create the perfect weapon by combining souls with metal - an invention he would later call the [[Blades]]. Around the year 400 B.C., some members of the Circle, including Hokan, came into small-scale conflicts with a mage who would eventually join them as their 13th and final member, [[The Piper]]. During such conflicts, Hokan started experimenting on the Undead whose souls had hardened to their core, turning them into [[Soulstones]]. It would be during this time that he created his prototype for the Blades he would eventually unleash onto his enemies during the [[Convocation Wars]]
==== Ennoblement ====
[[File:Yasha Ashir.png|thumb|261x261px|Yasha Ashir, the daughter he never loved]]
To gain prestige among the nobles of [[Nortander]] he married an unknown noblewoman and sired a daughter whom he named [[Yasha Ashir|Yasha]]. This act made him lord of the area around the [[Gate of Kings|the Gate of Kings]]. Needless to say, he neither cared about his wife nor his daughter and simply deemed them a "necessary evil". Instead of taking care of Yasha himself, he gave her the rune of the Rume Warrior who would eventually be known as [[The Guardian]]. She was to protect Yasha after the battle of Kaith Halur and serve her every need while Hokan tended to what he perceived as more important matters

=== Convocation ===
During the [[Convocation]] war, he sent his endless waves of undead creatures against the demonic army of [[Uram the Red]], a conflict that reached its peak during the [[battle of Kaith Halur]]. Uram's red horde had set the city ablaze and looked sure to be victorious, until Hokan's [[blades]], led by [[The Guardian]], Managed to push them back as the city fell into ruin. It is unknown exactly how Hokan perished during the convocation but sometime before his death he allowed his daughter to be taken to a safe place and bound one of his rune warriors to [[Yasha]] as protection, although this act was not done out of kindness but out of frustration for his wife's constant pleadings. His body was later recovered and given a proper burial in [[Whisper (Location)|Whisper]] together with the Mask of Belial.

=== Beyond the Grave ===
[[File:HokanAshir2.png|left|thumb|320x320px|Hokan's ghost making the deal]]
Eight years after the Convocation, Hokan's spirit, enraged by the theft of his most prized possession, came back to the City of [[Whisper (Location)|Whisper]] and ordered his undead servants to search for the [[Mask of Belial]], once again bringing misfortune to the lands. They failed to obtain both parts, but a rune warrior, later known as the [[Phoenix Bearer]], eventually collected them and gave the mask to Hokan in exchange for information on how to destroy the [[blades]] and the [[Dark One]] - a fellow former Circle mage who had visited Hokan's grave in the years prior and stolen the secret of his most powerful creation. Hokan revealed that [[Soul Forger]]'s destruction would disable the other blades and that the Rune Warrior would require an artefact known as the [[Phoenix Stone]], which was likely still stored in the archives of [[Mulandir]], to stand a chance against the Dark One.

=== Masked One ===
[[File:Hokan1.png|thumb|262x262px|Reborn]]
Hokan gained a new body for himself by wearing the [[Mask of Belial]], took on the identity of a shady merchant called "The Masked One" and hired a man called [[Lucius]] as his assistant. He also indirectly aided the rune warrior, who would be known as [[Shadow Warrior|The Shadow Warrior]], in resolving the [[Aryn Crisis]] by providing him with other [[rune warriors]]. While Hokan was alive, he was still weakened and regenerating from his death. He disliked being next to places with divine power and statues of idols, which might be a result of his unnatural revival.

=== Apotheon ===
[[File:Rohen Ressurected.png|left|thumb|211x211px|Reviving his circle brother]]
Five years after [[Aryn Crisis|The Aryn Crisis]], he used a potion called [[Life Essence]], obtained by having access to the divine blood of the god [[Ereon]] whom he had captured, to revive his dead comrades of the circle and bound them to his will. Furthermore, he also obtained the loyalty of the [[Crimson Empire]] and [[Sha]] to further his plans.

By gathering the circle once more he hoped to access god-like powers by merging with the demi-god [[Belial]] at the [[Bone Temple]] of [[Zarach]]. This fusion was interrupted by the two rune warriors, the [[Phoenix Bearer]] and the [[Shadow Warrior]], and the circle was defeated once and for all by releasing the [[Phoenix]].

=== Legacy ===
Just like the rest of his colleagues Hokan's actions led to the shattering of the planet and death of millions but, unlike [[Rohen Tahir|Rohen]] who was remorseful and tried to make amends, he didn't seem to care all that much. The area which he once lorded over has become a desolate wastelands infested by undead and his only child, fascinated by his work, invented a new brand of [[Blades]] to sow death and destruction. In the end Hokan Ashir left a legacy of malevolence and madness that will plague [[Eo]] for generations to come.

==Trivia==
*As a Zerbite, Hokan once had a dream where he saw an ancient demonic race known as [[Nameless|the Nameless]] invade [[Eo]] only to be defeated by [[Shaikan|the Shaikan]]. He shared this dream with his master who claimed that what Hokan saw was a vision of a possible future. Though this was mainly inserted in order to rectify the story issues of [[SpellForce 2: Faith in Destiny]] and [[Demons of the Past]].

{{FancyQuote2
|FQText2 = On Willow Winter Day, the disc of the sun will cover Aonir's star. Then he must sacrifice her to achieve his plan.
|FCCite2 = '''[[Elune]] to [[Shadow Warrior]]'''
}}
The Aryn Crisis was a global catastrophe which took place around 10 A.C after [[Battle of Fiara|the Battle of Fiara]] and was part of the [[Rune Wars]]. The ice dragon [[Aryn]] awoke from his slumber and was preparing to fly and freeze the world once more but thankfully he was stopped by a [[Rune Warrior|rune warrior]] known as [[Shadow Warrior|the Shadow Warrior]].
==Prelude==
In the distant past a white dragon was born by the name of [[Aryn]] whose unique physiology proved a danger to the world of [[Eo]], This particular dragon was capable of decreasing the temperature of any environment that he resided, to the point of freezing, by his mere presence. Just as he was about to freeze the entire planet one of the five rulers of the elves, [[Cenwen|Queen Cenwen]], saw the pain and loneliness of the creature and offered to be his eternal companion on the condition that he would leave her people alone. The dragon not only agreed but also granted his powers to [[Cenwen]]'s clan, who would become the first [[Elves|Ice Elves]]. For thousands of years, the duo would peacefully and happily await the end of time in [[Aryn]]'s sealed cave in the mountains.
===Gathering Darkness===
After the [[War of the Six Races]] the [[Renegades|renegade gods]]' armies led by the [[Fial Darg]] were defeated and the princes of darkness were sealed away by the [[Guardians]]. An elite order of warriors known as [[Iron Falcons|the Iron Falcons]] were founded whose sole purpose to prevent the seals from weakening. However, as time went on their influence was diminished and most if not all of them perished during the [[Convocation]] alongside the seals they were meant to protect.
[[File:Aryn1.png|thumb|444x444px|Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured]]

==Disorder==
[[Fial Darg(BOW)|One]] of these freed Fial Darg decided to perform a ritual which would free its [[Renegade]] patrons however the ritual required the blood of a firstborn, humanoid descendants of the [[Shapers]] who still retained the genetic material of their ancestors, and the only one available was [[Cenwen]]. The creature wove a spell that numbed [[Aryn|Aryn's]] senses and amidst the confusion he abducted [[Cenwen]] and arranged her to be transported into the [[Crimson Empire]]'s territory whom it had recruited as minions. When [[Aryn]] came back to his senses, he noticed his companion's disappearance and after roaring in anger departed to search for her.
==Deception==
[[File:FialDargFreed.jpg|left|thumb|194x194px|The prince is freed by the traitor]]
Unfortunately for the prince of darkness he was soon captured by the vengeful ice elves who placed him in a shard of ice and interrogated him albeit to no avail. Somehow the creature, probably telepathically, contacted his servant among the [[Mirraw Thur Resistance]], [[Grim]], and commanded him to free him which he successfully did by tricking the future [[Shadow Warrior]] and his fellow resistance fighters into attacking the [[Winterguard]] camp. After the revelation of what hap transpired was revealed the [[Shadow Warrior]] escorted the Resistance to [[Tirganach]] and together with the [[Winterguard]]'s priestesses [[Lena]] came up with a plan to rescue [[Cenwen]].

== Urgath in Flames ==
[[File:Fireangel.jpg|thumb|The Fireangel holds vigil over the alien sword]]
The [[Crimson Empire]]'s capital city [[Shal'Dun]] had powerful magical defenses and not even the [[Winterguard]] could directly provoke them. The [[Shadow Warrior]] departed to [[Fastholme]] in search of a solution.

The dwarven mages there were holding a secret art - the [[Firebane]] - which would grant an immense resistance against the blazing heat of Shal'Dun's sun towers. After he was able to convince elder [[Windjalf]] to handing over the [[Firebane]] to him, the rune warrior conquered both the [[Nevershade Frontier]] as well as [[Shal'Dun]]. The traitor [[Grim]] was found in the center of the city and killed but not before revealing his master's only weakness under torture by his former lover [[Lena]]: [[Shadowblade|The Shadowblade]].
[[File:CenwenAbyss.jpg|left|thumb|240x240px|The ice queen is found]]

=== Gaze of the Abyss ===
The [[Shadow Warrior]] successfully acquired the legendary blade from the [[Fireangel]] of the [[Firefangs]] and soon departed to [[the Abyss]], where [[Cenwen]] was being held. The warrior overcame every Soulfire barriers blocking his path inside the Abyss and entirely annihilated the Crimson Empire's garrison inside. The ice queen was freed and the prince of darkness was slain but [[Lena]] lost her life during the confrontation.

== Calming the Frostweaver ==
Although the [[Fial Darg(BOW)|Fial Darg]] was dead his spell still clouded [[Aryn]]'s mind. With help from the [[dwarves]] of [[Fastholme]] the rune warrior unearthed some fire crystals to fight back the harsh coldness emitted by the Frostweaver but nonetheless the battle that took place in [[Frostweaver Rift]] was nothing short of legendary.

In the end the dragon was weakened enough and [[Cenwen]]'s singing reached his mind. He understood that his life-long companion had finally returned and together they finally returned home. The Aryn Crisis had come to an end and [[Eo]] was spared another ice age.

Aryn Crisis

{{FancyQuote2
|FQText2 = On Willow Winter Day, the disc of the sun will cover Aonir's star. Then he must sacrifice her to achieve his plan.
|FCCite2 = '''[[Elune]] to [[Shadow Warrior]]'''
}}
The Aryn Crisis was a global catastrophe which took place around 10 A.C after[[the Battle of Fiara]] and was part of the [[Rune Wars]]. The ice dragon [[Aryn]] awoke from his slumber and was preparing to fly and freeze the world once more but thankfully he was stopped by a [[Rune Warrior|rune warrior]] known as [[Shadow Warrior|the Shadow Warrior]].
==Prelude==
In the distant past a white dragon was born by the name of [[Aryn]] whose unique physiology proved a danger to the world of [[Eo]], This particular dragon was capable of decreasing the temperature of any environment that he resided, to the point of freezing, by his mere presence. Just as he was about to freeze the entire planet one of the five rulers of the elves, [[Cenwen|Queen Cenwen]], saw the pain and loneliness of the creature and offered to be his eternal companion on the condition that he would leave her people alone. The dragon not only agreed but also granted his powers to [[Cenwen]]'s clan, who would become the first [[Elves|Ice Elves]]. For thousands of years, the duo would peacefully and happily await the end of time in [[Aryn]]'s sealed cave in the mountains.
===Gathering Darkness===
After the [[War of the Six Races]] the [[Renegades|renegade gods]]' armies led by the [[Fial Darg]] were defeated and the princes of darkness were sealed away by the [[Guardians]]. An elite order of warriors known as [[Iron Falcons|the Iron Falcons]] were founded whose sole purpose to prevent the seals from weakening. However, as time went on their influence was diminished and most if not all of them perished during the [[Convocation]] alongside the seals they were meant to protect.
[[File:Aryn1.png|thumb|444x444px|Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured]]

==Disorder==
[[Fial Darg(BOW)|One]] of these freed Fial Darg decided to perform a ritual which would free its [[Renegade]] patrons however the ritual required the blood of a firstborn, humanoid descendants of the [[Shapers]] who still retained the genetic material of their ancestors, and the only one available was [[Cenwen]]. The creature wove a spell that numbed [[Aryn|Aryn's]] senses and amidst the confusion he abducted [[Cenwen]] and arranged her to be transported into the [[Crimson Empire]]'s territory whom it had recruited as minions. When [[Aryn]] came back to his senses, he noticed his companion's disappearance and after roaring in anger departed to search for her.
==Deception==
[[File:FialDargFreed.jpg|left|thumb|194x194px|The prince is freed by the traitor]]
Unfortunately for the prince of darkness he was soon captured by the vengeful ice elves who placed him in a shard of ice and interrogated him albeit to no avail. Somehow the creature, probably telepathically, contacted his servant among the [[Mirraw Thur Resistance]], [[Grim]], and commanded him to free him which he successfully did by tricking the future [[Shadow Warrior]] and his fellow resistance fighters into attacking the [[Winterguard]] camp. After the revelation of what hap transpired was revealed the [[Shadow Warrior]] escorted the Resistance to [[Tirganach]] and together with the [[Winterguard]]'s priestesses [[Lena]] came up with a plan to rescue [[Cenwen]].

== Urgath in Flames ==
[[File:Fireangel.jpg|thumb|The Fireangel holds vigil over the alien sword]]
The [[Crimson Empire]]'s capital city [[Shal'Dun]] had powerful magical defenses and not even the [[Winterguard]] could directly provoke them. The [[Shadow Warrior]] departed to [[Fastholme]] in search of a solution.

The dwarven mages there were holding a secret art - the [[Firebane]] - which would grant an immense resistance against the blazing heat of Shal'Dun's sun towers. After he was able to convince elder [[Windjalf]] to handing over the [[Firebane]] to him, the rune warrior conquered both the [[Nevershade Frontier]] as well as [[Shal'Dun]]. The traitor [[Grim]] was found in the center of the city and killed but not before revealing his master's only weakness under torture by his former lover [[Lena]]: [[Shadowblade|The Shadowblade]].
[[File:CenwenAbyss.jpg|left|thumb|240x240px|The ice queen is found]]

=== Gaze of the Abyss ===
The [[Shadow Warrior]] successfully acquired the legendary blade from the [[Fireangel]] of the [[Firefangs]] and soon departed to [[the Abyss]], where [[Cenwen]] was being held. The warrior overcame every Soulfire barriers blocking his path inside the Abyss and entirely annihilated the Crimson Empire's garrison inside. The ice queen was freed and the prince of darkness was slain but [[Lena]] lost her life during the confrontation.

== Calming the Frostweaver ==
Although the [[Fial Darg(BOW)|Fial Darg]] was dead his spell still clouded [[Aryn]]'s mind. With help from the [[dwarves]] of [[Fastholme]] the rune warrior unearthed some fire crystals to fight back the harsh coldness emitted by the Frostweaver but nonetheless the battle that took place in [[Frostweaver Rift]] was nothing short of legendary.

In the end the dragon was weakened enough and [[Cenwen]]'s singing reached his mind. He understood that his life-long companion had finally returned and together they finally returned home. The Aryn Crisis had come to an end and [[Eo]] was spared another ice age.

While aiding the [[Phoenix Bearer|Rune]] [[Shadow Warrior|Warriors]] in [[SpellForce: The Order of Dawn|Order of Dawn]] and in [[SpellForce: Breath of Winter|Breath of Winter]], he is the main antagonist of the [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix|Shadow of the Phoenix]] expansion. He was one of the thirteen [[The Circle|Circle mages]] and the most powerful necromancer the world has ever known.

== Biography ==

=== Early Years ===
[[File:Anktahr.gif|thumb|Anktahr, Hokan's former mentor]]
[[File:Zerbite Logo1.png|left|thumb|The Order of Zerbites]]
Hokan Ashir was born in the city of [[Kaith Halur]] and was once a member of the magical order of [[Zerbites]] under the apprenticeship of one of their seven leaders [[Anktahr]]. The zerbites were responsible for protecting the border of [[Xu]] and researching the dangers of the [[Black Jungle]].

==== Visions ====
One day Hokan had a dream where he saw an ancient demonic race known as [[Nameless|the Nameless]] invade [[Eo]] only to be defeated by [[Shaikan|the Shaikan]]. He shared this dream with his master who claimed that what Hokan saw was a vision of a possible future.

=== Dark Ascension ===
[[File:Mask of Belial.gif|left|thumb|Mask of Belial]]
During an expedition into the black jungle the [[zerbites]] found the [[Bone Temple]] of [[Zarach]]. Exactly what occurred inside is unknown except to Hokan, the sole survivor of the expedition, who emerged from the temple wearing the [[Mask of Belial]], a powerful artifact which belonged to the renegade demi-god of death [[Belial]]. Regardless of the truth when Hokan came back he was not the same man who entered the temple, neither mentally or magically. He betrayed his colleagues and almost single handedly wiped out the entire order. He tried stealing their secrets as well and succeeded to a degree but before he could steal them all the [[zerbites]] filled their fortresses with traps and puzzles, this act caused them to be trapped within their own fortress and starve to death but this was preferred over handing their secrets over. Hokan tried infiltrating their fortresses but was unsuccessful due to his deteriorating mental state and eventually gave up. During one of these attempt he fought and defeated [[Anktahr]] in a duel but soon realized the duel was nothing more than a delaying tactic for the other [[zerbites]] to arm the traps of their fortress. The furious magician unleashed his anger on his former mentor and made him a [[Rune Warriors|Rune Warrior]]. In the following years he kept psychologically tormenting [[Anktahr]] until he was turned from a wise man into an insane and devious schemer.

Afterwards he realized his powers were uncontrollable and in need of proper training. Not long after he left [[Xu]] and joined [[The Circle]].

=== The Circle ===
[[File:SoulForger1.png|left|thumb|221x221px|Soul Forger, his greatest creation]]
During his time as was one of [[the Circle]] mages Hokan became the most powerful necromancer to have ever lived. He created the [[Soulforger]] and the [[Blades]] as a fusion of metal and soul. His relationship with the other circle mages is mostly unknown but it is known that he had a fierce rivalry with [[Uram the Red]] and was friendly towards [[Raith the Black]]. He took [[Ismail]] as his apprentice and two warriors [[Korshar]] and a woman who would be known as [[The Guardian]] as the commanders of his armies but the latter also became his bodyguard.

==== The piper ====
TBA
[[File:Yasha Ashir.png|thumb|261x261px|Yasha Ashir, the daughter he never loved]]

==== Ennoblement ====
In order to gain prestige among the nobles of [[Nortander]] he married a noble woman and sired a daughter whom was named [[Yasha Ashir|Yasha]]. This act made him lord of [[Whisper (Location)|Whisper]] and [[Gate of Kings|the Gate of Kings]]. Needless to say he neither cared about his wife or his daughter and simply deemed them a "necessary evil".

=== Convocation ===
During the [[Convocation]] war he sent the [[blades]] and his undead creatures against the demonic army of [[Uram the Red]] who met his end during the [[battle of Kaith Halur]]. Hokan's [[blades]] and their commander [[The Guardian]] were more than a match for the [[Demons|Red Horde]], [[Uram the Red|Uram]] was killed by the blades. It is unknown exactly how Hokan perished during the convocation but sometime before his death he allowed his daughter to be taken to a safe place and bound one of his rune warriors to [[Yasha]] as protection, although this act was not done out of kindness but out of frustration for his wife's constant pleadings. His body was later recovered by [[Ismail]] who gave him a proper burial in [[Whisper (Location)|Whisper]].

=== Beyond the Grave ===

Eight years later his spirit came back in the City of [[Whisper (Location)|Whisper]] and ordered his undead servants to search for the [[Mask of Belial]], they failed but a rune warrior, later on known as the [[Phoenix Bearer]], found it and gave it to him in exchange for information on how to destroy the [[blades]] and the [[Dark One]]. Hokan revealed that [[Soul Forger]]'s destruction would disable the other blades and an artifact known as the [[Phoenix Stone]], which was stored in the archives of [[Mulandir]], would be a suitable weapon against the Dark One, who Hokan revealed had actually come to his grave and after mocking him had stolen the plans for the blades.

=== Masked One ===
[[File:Hokan1.png|thumb|262x262px|Reborn]]
Hokan gained a new body for himself by wearing the [[Mask of Belial]] and took on the identity of a shady merchant called "The Masked One" and hired a man called [[Lucius]] as his assistant. He also indirectly aided the rune warrior, who would be known as [[Shadow Warrior|The Shadow Warrior]], in resolving the [[Aryn Crisis]] by providing him with other [[rune warriors]]. While Hokan was alive he was still weakened and regenerating from his death. He disliked being next to places with divine power residing which might be a result of his unnatural revival.

=== Apotheon ===
[[File:Rohen Ressurected.png|left|thumb|211x211px|Reviving his circle brother]]
Five years after [[Aryn Crisis|The Aryn Crisis]] he used a potion called [[Life Essence]], obtained by having access to the divine blood of the god [[Ereon]] whom he captured, to revive his dead comrades of the circle and bound them to his will.

By gathering the circle once more he hoped to access god-like powers by merging with the demi-god [[Belial]]. This fusion was interrupted by the two rune warriors, the [[Phoenix Bearer]] and the [[Shadow Warrior]], and the circle was defeated once and for all by releasing the [[Phoenix]].

=== Legacy ===
TBA

While aiding the [[Phoenix Bearer|Rune]] [[Shadow Warrior|Warriors]] in [[SpellForce: The Order of Dawn|Order of Dawn]] and in [[SpellForce: Breath of Winter|Breath of Winter]], he is the main antagonist of the [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix|Shadow of the Phoenix]] expansion. He was one of the thirteen [[The Circle|Circle mages]] and the most powerful necromancer the world has ever known.

== Biography ==

=== Early Years ===
[[File:Anktahr.gif|thumb|Anktahr, Hokan's former mentor]]
[[File:Zerbite Logo1.png|left|thumb|The Order of Zerbites]]
Hokan Ashir was born in the city of [[Kaith Halur]] and was once a member of the magical order of [[Zerbites]] under the apprenticeship of one of their seven leaders [[Anktahr]]. The zerbites were responsible for protecting the border of [[Xu]] and researching the dangers of the [[Black Jungle]].

==== Visions ====
One day Hokan had a dream where he saw an ancient demonic race known as [[Nameless|the Nameless]] invade [[Eo]] only to be defeated by [[Shaikan|the Shaikan]]. He shared this dream with his master who claimed that what Hokan saw was a vision of a possible future.

=== Dark Ascension ===
[[File:Mask of Belial.gif|left|thumb|Mask of Belial]]
During an expedition into the black jungle the [[zerbites]] found the [[Bone Temple]] of [[Zarach]]. Exactly what occurred inside is unknown except to Hokan, the sole survivor of the expedition, who emerged from the temple wearing the [[Mask of Belial]], a powerful artifact which belonged to the renegade demi-god of death [[Belial]]. Regardless of the truth when Hokan came back he was not the same man who entered the temple, neither mentally or magically. He betrayed his colleagues and almost single handedly wiped out the entire order. He tried stealing their secrets as well and succeeded to a degree but before he could steal them all the [[zerbites]] filled their fortresses with traps and puzzles, this act caused them to be trapped within their own fortress and starve to death but this was preferred over handing their secrets over. Hokan tried infiltrating their fortresses but was unsuccessful due to his deteriorating mental state and eventually gave up. During one of these attempt he fought and defeated [[Anktahr]] in a duel but soon realized the duel was nothing more than a delaying tactic for the other zerbites to arm the traps of their fortress. The furious magician unleashed his anger on his former mentor and made him a [[Rune Warriors|Rune Warrior]]. In the following years he kept psychologically tormenting [[Anktahr]] until he was turned from a wise man into an insane and devious schemer.

Afterwards he realized his powers were uncontrollable and in need of proper training. Not long after he left [[Xu]] and joined [[The Circle]].

=== The Circle ===
[[File:SoulForger1.png|left|thumb|221x221px|Soul Forger, his greatest creation]]
During his time as was one of [[the Circle]] mages Hokan became the most powerful necromancer to have ever lived. He created the [[Soulforger]] and the [[Blades]] as a fusion of metal and soul. His relationship with the other circle mages is mostly unknown but it is known that he had a fierce rivalry with [[Uram the Red]] and was friendly towards [[Raith the Black]]. He took [[Ismail]] as his apprentice and two warriors [[Korshar]] and a woman who would be known as [[The Guardian]] as the commanders of his armies but the latter also became his bodyguard.

==== Ennoblement ====
In order to gain prestige among the nobles of [[Nortander]] he married a noble woman and sired a daughter whom was named [[Yasha Ashir|Yasha]]. This act made him lord of [[Whisper (Location)|Whisper]] and [[Gate of Kings|the Gate of Kings]]. Needless to say he neither cared about his wife or his daughter and simply deemed them a "necessary evil".

=== Convocation ===
During the [[Convocation]] war he sent the [[blades]] and his undead creatures against the demonic army of [[Uram the Red]] who met his end during the [[battle of Kaith Halur]]. Hokan's [[blades]] and their commander [[The Guardian]] were more than a match for the [[Demons|Red Horde]], [[Uram the Red|Uram]] was killed by the blades. It is unknown exactly how Hokan perished during the convocation but sometime before his death he allowed his daughter to be taken to a safe place and bound one of his rune warriors to [[Yasha]] as protection, although this act was not done out of kindness but out of frustration for his wife's constant pleadings. His body was later recovered by [[Ismail]] who gave him a proper burial in [[Whisper (Location)|Whisper]].

=== Beyond the Grave ===
[[File:HokanAshir2.png|left|thumb|225x225px|Hokan's ghost making the deal]]
Eight years later his spirit came back in the City of [[Whisper (Location)|Whisper]] and ordered his undead servants to search for the [[Mask of Belial]], they failed but a rune warrior, later on known as the [[Phoenix Bearer]], found it and gave it to him in exchange for information on how to destroy the [[blades]] and the [[Dark One]]. Hokan revealed that [[Soul Forger]]'s destruction would disable the other blades and an artifact known as the [[Phoenix Stone]], which was stored in the archives of [[Mulandir]], would be a suitable weapon against the Dark One, who Hokan revealed had actually come to his grave and after mocking him had stolen the plans for the blades.

=== Masked One ===
[[File:Hokan1.png|thumb|262x262px|Reborn]]
Hokan gained a new body for himself by wearing the [[Mask of Belial]] and took on the identity of a shady merchant called "The Masked One" and hired a man called [[Lucius]] as his assistant. He also indirectly aided the rune warrior, who would be known as [[The Shadow Warrior]], in resolving the [[Aryn Crisis]] by providing him with other [[rune warriors]]. While Hokan was alive he was still weakened and regenerating from his death. He disliked being next to places with divine power residing which might be a result of his unnatural revival.

Five years after [[Aryn Crisis|The Aryn Crisis]] he used a potion called [[Life Essence]], obtained by having access to the divine blood of the god [[Ereon]] whom he captured, to revive his dead comrades of the circle and bound them to his will.

By gathering the circle once more he hoped to access god-like powers by merging with the demi-god [[Belial]]. This fusion was interrupted by the two rune warriors, the [[Phoenix Bearer]] and the [[Shadow Warrior]], and the circle was defeated once and for all by releasing the [[Phoenix]].

While aiding the [[Phoenix Bearer|Rune]] [[Shadow Warrior|Warriors]] in [[SpellForce: The Order of Dawn|Order of Dawn]] and in [[SpellForce: Breath of Winter|Breath of Winter]], he is the main antagonist of the [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix|Shadow of the Phoenix]] expansion. He was one of the thirteen [[The Circle|Circle mages]] and the most powerful necromancer the world has ever known.

== Biography ==

=== Early Years ===
[[File:Anktahr.gif|thumb|Anktahr, Hokan's former mentor]]
[[File:Zerbite Logo1.png|left|thumb|The Order of Zerbites]]
Hokan Ashir was born in the city of [[Kaith Halur]] and was once a member of the magical order of [[Zerbites]] under the apprenticeship of one of their seven leaders [[Anktahr]]. The zerbites were responsible for protecting the border of [[Xu]] and researching the dangers of the [[Black Jungle]].

==== Visions ====
One day Hokan had a dream where he saw an ancient demonic race known as [[Nameless|the Nameless]] invade [[Eo]] only to be defeated by [[Shaikan|the Shaikan]]. He shared this dream with his master who claimed that what Hokan saw was a vision of a possible future.

=== Dark Ascension ===
[[File:Mask of Belial.gif|left|thumb|Mask of Belial]]
During an expedition into the black jungle the [[zerbites]] found the [[Bone Temple]] of [[Zarach]]. Exactly what occurred inside is unknown except to Hokan, the sole survivor of the expedition, who emerged from the temple wearing the [[Mask of Belial]], a powerful artifact which belonged to the renegade demi-god of death [[Belial]]. Regardless of the truth when Hokan came back he was not the same man who entered the temple, neither mentally or magically. He betrayed his colleagues and almost single handedly wiped out the entire order. He tried stealing their secrets as well and succeeded to a degree but before he could steal them all the [[zerbites]] filled their fortresses with traps and puzzles, this act caused them to be trapped within their own fortress and starve to death but this was preferred over handing their secrets over. Hokan tried infiltrating their fortresses but was unsuccessful due to his deteriorating mental state and eventually gave up. During one of these attempt he fought and defeated [[Anktahr]] in a duel but soon realized the duel was nothing more than a delaying tactic for the other zerbites to arm the traps of their fortress. The furious magician unleashed his anger on his former mentor and made him a [[Rune Warriors|Rune Warrior]]. In the following years he kept psychologically tormenting [[Anktahr]] until he was turned from a wise man into an insane and devious schemer.

Afterwards he realized his powers were uncontrollable and in need of proper training. Not long after he left [[Xu]] and joined [[The Circle]].

'''Rohen Tahir''' is a former [[The Circle|Circle Mage]], founder of [[The Order of Dawn]] and one of the most influential individuals in [[Eo|Eo's]] history, playing a pivotal role in reconnecting the world after [[the Convocation]] by creating [[portals]] to mend the broken countenance of the world.

==Biography==
===Early Years===
Rohen's past as one of the founding members of [[the Circle]] is well documented, his personal life however is not since he disliked people investigating his past and took active measures to hide it, such as placing deadly and hostile specters to guard his [[Lea Muire|wife]]'s grave. It is unknown where exactly he hails from, he likely spent his early years studying magic and honing his skills.

Nevertheless, he during this time, he was already one of the most powerful and bright mages on [[Eo]], especially in the realm of Elemental Magic - the school he specialized in.

=== The Circle ===
[[File:Circle Front Page.png|thumb|Superior ability breeds superior ambition]]
Rohen was chosen as one of the original 11 representatives of [[the Circle]] and has thus been one of its founding members. During the early years of the organization, much like his fellow Circle Mages, Rohen dedicated a considerable amount of time to the research of magic and preservation of peace on [[Eo]] - the main tenets of the Circle. This would eventually lead them to [[Xu]] where, inside of an ancient [[Shapers|Shaper]] ruin, they discovered the [[Allfire]], essence of all magic. This discovery fascinated the Circle, and over the coming years, they began mastering this newly acquired magic. This caused both their power and lifespan to increase exponentially, making them nigh immortal and solidifying the Circle as the keepers of prosperity on Eo for centuries.

Alongside it, they also discovered runic scriptures detailing a prophecy of a day when [[Aonir|Aonir's]] hold on Eo and the [[Primal Elements]] would weaken, allowing powerful individuals to harness their immense power. However, although the Circle wasn't aware of it back then, this false prophecy, left behind by the [[Fial Darg]] at the end of the [[War of the Six Races]] would play a major role in orchestrating their downfall.

During his time in the circle, he developed a preference for [[Magic|Fire Magic]], though he would come to prefer Ice Magic later in life. He was also known for his fiery speeches in [[Mulandir]] and was present when the mercenary who would later be known as [[The Guardian]] was turned into a [[Rune Warriors|Rune Warrior]].

=== The Piper ===
As the Circle's power grew, each of its members began expanding their spheres of influence across Eo. During such expansions, while still mostly peaceful, they would sometimes clash with other influential individuals who stood in their way. One such individual known as [[the Piper]] would join the Circle around the year 400 B.C. as its 13th and final member following the inauguration of [[Hokan Ashir]] some years prior. Though Rohen wasn't solely responsible for inviting the Piper into the Circle, the two had clashed in small-scale skirmishes beforehand, which had greatly impressed the Circle Mage.

=== Convocation Wars ===
Over the next centuries, the Circle kept solidifying its hold on Eo, growing ever more power-hungry under the influence of the Allfire as the day of the prophecy was drawing ever closer. However, as their power increased, so did the mistrust towards their fellow Circle Mages, each wishing to gain the power of the Primal Elements for themselves alone. These tensions reached their high point around the year 50 B.C. with the start of the Convocation Wars - a series of military conflicts between the Circle Mages that caused mayhem and disarray across Eo.

This caused the Circle to fall apart. Using their powerful armies to do battle, they ravaged the lands and became the cause of what they once stood to prevent. It isn't known against which Circle Mages Rohen fought specifically, but this time saw the employment of his [[Orcs|Orkish]] and [[Rune Warriors|Rune]] armies. Though he was a human, Rohen showed a preference for using hordes of Orcs to bolster his ranks - a trademark he had already shown during his skirmishes with the Piper centuries ago.

As the day of the prophecy drew near and the Circle prepared to call upon the slumbering Elements, Rohen patiently awaited inside his tower. However, fate would have a different plan for him, as he was stopped for partaking in the ritual, thus saving his life and allowing him to become Eo's saviour in the years that followed.

'''''The information provided below this point focuses on the events as they appear in SpellForce: The Order of Dawn. It is important to note that, to reach these events, some of the characters go through a time loop. For the sake of clarity, these time jumps won't be covered here, so please take a look at [[Rohen's Time Loop|this]] page if you wish to know more.'''''

===Rune Wars===
Rohen survived the Convocation, although only through the help of [[Ereon]], son of Aonir and [[Gods|Guardian]] of knowledge. He helped steer Rohen back to the right path, bestowing upon him the secrets of the Convocation and opening his eyes to the lie it truly was. Armed with this knowledge, Rohen decided to henceforth use his powers to aid the mending of the broken world he had helped create. He constructed the [[Portals]], established [[the Order of Dawn]] in [[Greyfell]], and thus laid a foundation for the new world to prosper once more.

====Battle for Fiara====
[[File:Rohen summoning PB.PNG|right|thumb|Rohen summoning the Phoenix Bearer|300px]]
Around the year 8 A.C., Rohen sent an envoy to an old friend living on the outskirts of the once great city of [[Ankbrand]], [[Tahira]]. She was to recover a [[Phoenix Bearer|special rune]] for him, from within the city's ruins - a task which she reluctantly accepted. Once in his possession, Rohen set out to the [[Shadow Pass]] to summon the warrior, tasking her with seeking out the leader of the Order of Dawn, [[Sartarius]] in [[Greyfell]], before being urged by [[The Messenger|a messenger]] to deal with an [[Iron Ones|emerging thread]] at the [[Wildland Pass]], though before making his way there, he sought out his old friend [[Ereon|Darius Servil]] in [[Liannon]].

Once At the Wildland Pass, Rohen and his bodyguard got separated by an attack of the [[Black Fist]], forcing his men to set up camp and stay behind while he continued his journey deep behind enemy lines - none of whom presented much of a challenge to a mage of his calibre.

Finally arriving at the [[Frost Marshes]], he was called out by the [[Phoenix Bearer]] who had managed to catch up to Rohen in an urgent mission of the Order. She gave him a casket she had acquired from yet another Circle Mage that had allegedly survived [[the Convocation]], though unbeknownst to her, this mage, known as the [[Dark One]], was none other than Rohen himself, albeit much younger, and the casket she had acquired was an elaborate trap meant to get rid of his older self.

Rohen, seemingly aware of this, told the Phoenix Bearer how to proceed. She was to seek out [[Hokan Ashir]] and find an [[Phoenix|artefact]] powerful enough to conquer a mage of the Circle. After giving her [[the Book of the Convocation]], he opened the casket, revealing it to be empty and triggering a trap that froze them both in place. The Dark One appeared, killing Rohen and setting the cycle back in motion.

Though Rohen had died, his grand plan to ensure Eo's future was set in motion - something not even his younger self was aware of at the time - continuing the [[Rohen's Time Loop |cycle]] once more.
[[File:Rohen death.PNG|left|thumb|Rohen confronted by the Dark One, moments before his death|300px]]
====Aryn Crysis====
Rohen does not play a significant role during the events of the [[Aryn Crysis]], however, the portals he had created are instrumental to the events occurring in the first place.

====Unending nightmare====
7 years after his death at the hands of his younger self, Rohen's resting place was robbed and his corpse reanimated by a now fully revived Hokan Ashir. Hokan used a potion he had created using the essence of a [[Ereon|god]] in his captivity, allowing him to return the dead to true life once more, restoring their full power. This, however, unquestionably bound Rohen to Hokan's will, rendering him a tool in the necromancer's grand plan to merge with the demi-god [[Belial]].

As Hokan's loyal servant, Rohen acted as a general for his undead armies, always at Hokan's beck and call, should he require his assistance. As such, Rohen would ultimately be commanded to lead an army of the dead during a counterattack against the forces of an old friend and ally, the Phoenix Bearer, at the [[Raven Pass]].

After a hard-fought final battle inside the pass' final fortress, Rohen and his army were ultimately defeated by the Phoenix Bearer - in no small part due to Rohen either not having recovered his full strength, or him deliberately not using the power of the [[Allfire]] to give his old friend a fighting chance. Dead once more, Rohen's soul was finally free from Hokan's grasp. Before his final journey to the [[Mor Duine]], he would appear before the Phoenix Bearer, instructing her to combine the Phoenix Stone in her possession with the [[Shadowblade]] of the [[Shadow Warrior]], the hero of the Aryn Crysis kept prisoner by Hokan.

Once his final guidance had been delivered, his soul departed to the River of Souls, flowing amongst its silver waters for the rest of eternity.

|FCCite2 = '''[[Professor Twiddle]] to the [[Soul Carrier]]'''
}}Even though he no longer dwells amongst the living, the influence of Rohen's work reaches far, even from beyond the grave. His actions doomed countless to death, forever shattered the world and resulted in mages being hated far more than they were before the [[Mage Wars]], however he managed to achieve some measure of redemption during his final years.

His Portal network remains a focal point in ensuring [[Eo]]'s survival. Knowing this, Rohen shared some of his knowledge of portal magic with chosen individuals, ensuring it doesn't fade for good once he's gone.

He also wrote books on the topic, some of which would be studied by [[Professor Twiddle|bright]] [[Nazshar|minds]] trying to recreate his work, for after all of the members of the Circle disappeared from the face of [[Eo]] for good, so did their connection to the Allfire which had been used to fuel the portal network up to that point. However it is also worthy of mention that his knowledge of portals was abused to start the [[Shadow Wars]].

While this means that the world Rohen had created is slowly falling apart, his work and knowledge laid the foundation for the people of [[Eo]] to reunite their world once more - this time using their own power to do so.

==Quests Involved==
*[[To Greyfell]]
*[[At the Wildland Pass]]
*[[The Battle at Raven Pass]]

==Trivia==
*In SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix, Rohen is the only Revived Circle Mage spotting an undead character model, while all the other mages, apart from Hokan Ashir, were given generic ones.
*It is likely that [[Matricus]], the current leader of the [[Order of Dawn]], was a former apprentice of Rohen.

The Shadow Warrior is the main protagonist of [[SpellForce: The Breath of Winter]] and also a possible protagonist in [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix]]. He was a legendary [[Rune Warrior]] who averted the [[Aryn Crisis]] but in the process lost his humanity and turned into a [[shadows|Shadow]]. He also plays a major role in the second series where he aids [[Shaikan|The Shaikan]].
==Biography==
===Early Years===
[[File:LEGR.png|left|thumb|The warrior's former comrades: Lena and Grim|150px]]
The man who would be known as The Shadow Warrior was one of the rune warriors who fought in convocation wars. His recruitment was likely the same as the majority of his peers, a mercenary who was lured by the promises of gold and glory in service to [[The Circle]]. Although it is unknown under which one of the thirteen he served it is a fact that he fought alongside [[Lena]], and [[Grim]]. Sometime during the war, he was defeated and his rune was lost.

===The Aryn Crisis===
In the distant past a white [[Dragons|dragon]] was born by the name of [[Aryn]] whose unique physiology proved a danger to the world of [[Eo]]. This particular dragon was capable of decreasing the temperature of any environment in which he resided by his mere presence. Just as he was about to freeze the entire planet, one of the five rulers of the elves, [[Cenwen|Queen Cenwen]], saw the pain and loneliness of the creature and offered to be his eternal companion on the condition he left her people alone. The dragon not only agreed but also taught the Elves the wonders of ice magic. For thousands of years, the duo peacefully resided in the north, protected by Aryn's eternal ice, until one day, Cenwen disappeared, awakening an enraged Aryn whose anger would once again pose a threat to Eo.

====The Resistance====
[[File:Dunhan.jpg|left|thumb|Dunhan|150px]]
[[File:Reowys.jpg|right|thumb|Reowys|150px]]
Approximately two years after [[The Battle of Fiara]], [[Grim]] and [[Lena]] went to a rune monument in [[Mirraw Thur]] to summon a Rune Warrior who would aid them. They required his abilities to help [[The Resistance]], a group of freed slaves that fought against the slavers of [[Urgath]]. Grim was hesitant to give the warrior his rune back, believing he would be more useful when controlled but Lena insisted on it, allowing the Shadow Warrior to act freely. Afterwards, they ventured to the resistance camp and explained the situation to the warrior, the Ice elves had allegedly rescued [[Cenwyn|Cenwyn]] from [[Aryn|Aryn]] unaware of the fact that this would lead to Eo's destruction. To free the elven queen from [[Winterguard|the Winterguard]] base, the resistance required the prowess of their old leaders [[Dunhan]] and [[Reowys]], fellow [[Rune Warriors]] who parted ways following a falling out. Fortunately, the Shadow Warrior was able to recover their runes with help from his comrades and they led a successful attack on the elven-occupied settlement, slaughtering them in the process.
====Crimson Empire====
[[File:FialDargFreed.jpg|left|thumb|The prince is freed by the traitor|200px]]
After annihilating the ice elves, the trio headed to the settlement's prison, but instead of a queen, they found a prince, one of the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Dargs]] that was trapped in ice. Grim freed the creature and revealed himself to be a devotee of the [[Gods|Renegades]]. It was also revealed that [[Cenwen]] had been abducted and was in the custody of the [[Crimson Empire]] at [[Shal'Dun]]. After this revelation, the Fial Darg and Grim left [[Mirraw Thur]] while sending a battalion of Crimson Empire soldiers to destroy the resistance. Shortly after, [[Elune]], Lena's former mentor and a priestess of the ice elves, appeared in the prison and demanded an explanation for what had occurred. Lena explained the whole matter and pleaded to her to save the resistance before casting judgment on her, to which Elune reluctantly agreed, beginning the perilous journey to [[Tirganach]], the home city of the ice elves. The Shadow Warrior did everything in his power to escort the refugees and in the end, succeeded despite the attempts of the vicious [[Dracon Arach]] to stop them.
====Ancient Knowledge====
[[File:DarkWall.jpg|right|thumb|The Darkwall|200px]]
Once the refugees safely arrived at their destination, [[Aedale|High Priestess Aedale]] explained the whole truth to the shadow warrior and [[Lena]]. [[Cenwen]] was indeed abducted by the Crimson Empire and their [[Fial Darg]] patron who intended to use her blood to perform a ritual that would allow [[Zarach]] and [[Nor]] to return to Eo. Before they could proceed to [[Shal'Dun]], however, the Shadow warrior was sent by [[Elune]] to the lands of the [[Dwarves|dwarves]] to acquire the [[Firebane]], an ancient and powerful spell that was resisting the scorching fires of the crimson empire. First, he arrived at [[Winterdeep]] and put an end to the undead curse that was plaguing the lands. He then continued to [[Fastholme]] and was greeted by King [[Ragnar Undalfskjar]] and his advisor [[Murim]]. They revealed that the city was under siege by undead hordes under the command of the undead giant [[Gorg]], who had kidnapped the elder [[Windjalf]] in the hopes of receiving the [[Firebane]] himself. The Shadow Warrior offered his help and was thus given command of the dwarven army and access to the rune monument in the city. He managed to defeat the undead army, slay [[Gorg]] and free [[Windjalf]]. Windjalf was reluctant at first but gave up the firebane as a reward for his life. The Shadow Warrior then returned to [[Tirganach]] and reported his success to [[Elune]]. Afterwards, the warrior and [[Lena]] travelled to [[The Nevershade Frontier]], the location of a nigh impregnable wall of the [[Dark Elves]]. With the help of dwarven allies, the warrior managed to destroy the infamous [[Darkwall]] before venturing to [[Shal'Dun]].
====Unlikely Allies====
[[File:CraigBOW.jpg|left|thumb|The Dracon Craig Un'Shallach wisely decides to aid the Shadow Warrior|200px]]
At the outskirts of the city, the warrior met with [[Craig Un'shalach]] and his rebel Dracon caste, fortunately, the meeting ended with them forming an alliance meant to break the Fial Darg's hold on the city. After much planning and preparation, the warrior and his allies invaded [[Shal'Dun]] and were able to conquer it. At the climax of the bloody battle [[Lena]] got her revenge against [[Grim]] and froze the traitor to death. After the battle, Craig approached the warrior and told him that eventually, they would have to deal with the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] and the only weapon capable of causing him any harm was the [[Shadowblade]] which was kept in [[Firefangs]].
====Esoteric Weapon====
[[File:Fireangel.jpg|right|thumb|The Fireangel holds vigil over the alien sword|250px]]
The Shadow Warrior arrived at the [[Firefangs]], a barren land now invaded by the [[Shadows]] streaming out of the[[Shadowblade]], which itself was guarded by a [[Fire Angel]]. The Shadow Warrior posed as a servant of the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] and helped the fire angel in defeating and sealing the shadows, but despite this, the fire angel refused to give up the sword and figured out the Rune Warrior's deception before ultimately losing to him in combat. The Shadow Warrior was informed that whoever wielded the blade would lose their to the shadows, but that was a price he was willing to pay to save the world from Aryn's wrath. He and Lena returned to [[Shal'dun]] but were met with [[Archon Zhaal Tuor]] who informed them that Craig had allegedly been executed. In actuality, Craig was captured on orders of the [[Hokan Ashir|Masked One]]. Unable to dwell on it for long, the Shadow Warrior and Lena continued their journey to [[The Abyss]], where [[Cenwen]] was being held.
====Price of Victory====
[[File:CenwenAbyss.jpg|left|thumb|Cenwen is found|200px]]
At [[The Abyss]] once again The rune warrior demonstrated his mastery of the art of war and completely butchered all of the forces of the Crimson empire. Inside the abyss, they met and freed [[Cenwen]] when all of a sudden the [[Fial Darg|Fial Darg]] emerged and murdered [[Lena]]. The dark lord taunted the Shadow Warrior and engaged in a fierce battle with him but the rune warrior emerged victorious. [[Cenwen]] thanked the Shadow Warrior and told him to meet with her in [[Tirganach]] before teleporting away.
====Chilling Battle====
The rune warrior met with the elven queen in [[Tirganach]] and discussed how to stop [[Aryn]]. [[Cenwen]] told him that the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] had put a spell on the dragon which would leave him unable to recognize her. The only way to break the spell was to fight the Frostweaver until he was weakened enough for Cenwen's song to dispel the spell's effect. The rune warrior was a bit sceptical of his ability to defeat the Dragon, but he accepted nonetheless and headed towards the [[Frostweaver Rift]].

Once there, he was greeted and assisted by [[Murim]] and the dwarves of [[Fastholme]]. The battle between the Frostweaver and the Shadow Warrior was long and dreadful but at last Cenwen's song was able to rid the dragon of the Fial Darg's spell and the world was once again saved.
[[File:Aryn2.jpg|center|thumb|Aryn at the final battle]]
===Rune Wars===
====Deception====
[[File:CityOfSouls.jpg|left|thumb|The City of Souls|200px]]
Five years after the [[Aryn Crisis]], the Shadow warrior's soul became more and more consumed by the Shadow Blade he was wielding, prompting him to rely on [[Hokan Ashir| the Masked One]] to provide a cure to mend his pain. The magician decided to blackmail the rune warrior into doing his bidding by offering him healing potions which supposedly could cure him.
The masked one brought the warrior to the mysterious [[City of Souls]] and ordered him to slay a [[Fial Darg (SOTP)|Fial Darg]] that was guarding a certain grave and bring him the urn that was kept in it. The warrior was reluctant at first but eventually did as he was told. When his benefactor received the urn he poured a strange potion onto it and the person that was revived was none other than the circle mage [[Raith Skaddar]]. The rune warrior was utterly horrified and disgusted at this revelation but the Masked One simply ignored him and ordered him to assassinate a [[Dryad of Xu|Dryad]] that resided near [[Empyria]]. The warrior violently protested but was ignored again and reminded of his critical condition.
====Revelation====
[[File:SWDarkwind.png|right|thumb|The Shadow Warrior is freed|200px]]
Since [[Arias Magnus]], the current god-emperor of [[Empyria]], was a servant of the Masked one the warrior had little trouble reaching the [[Dryad Cove|Dryad's Cove]]. He met the dryad and almost did the deed before she revealed the truth of the masked one's plan and his cruel trick on the rune warrior: there was no cure for his problem. The warrior furiously swore vengeance and set off to hunt down the magician but his betrayal was soon noticed and he was defeated and imprisoned in the [[Darkwind Keep]] alongside [[Craig Un'Shallach]] at the hands of the masked one who revealed himself to be none than the master of necromancy himself, [[Hokan Ashir]].
====Unity====
Sometime later the warrior was freed by the [[Phoenix Bearer]] who explained Hokan's ultimate plan and the fact that they were part of a prophecy that foretold they were meant to destroy [[The Circle]] together. The warrior accepted to accompany her despite no longer caring about vengeance or whether they would even succeed in the end due to the extreme amount of pain that he felt because of the [[Shadowblade]].
They proceeded into the [[Gorge]] and after defeating all of the [[Blades]] and [[Sha]] forces that were stationed there, they entered the [[Bone Temple of Zarach]] to destroy [[The Circle]] and stop [[Belial]] from being summoned by his chosen.
In the bone temple with a bit of help from the "locals" they annihilated Hokan's forces and freed [[Ereon]] who in gratitude gave them some guidance on how to defeat [[Belial]]. The following battle would prove to be extremely challenging but the heroes emerged triumphant and managed to stop Hokan's merging with [[Belial]].
Hokan, infuriated by this turn of events, tried to summon the [[Allfire]] but the Rune Warriors used their combined power to open the [[Phoenix Stone]] with the [[Shadowblad ]], freeing the [[Phoenix]] that easily destroyed both Hokan and the rest of the revived Circle Mages for good.
====Metamorphosis====
The circle's madness finally came to an end, [[Ereon]] and the [[Dryad of Xu|Dryad]] were forgiven by the [[Gods|Guardians]]. [[Ereon]] returned to his brethren and his former lover began to fully heal [[Xu]] and return it to its former glory, her work was made easier with [[Alyah Arias]] succeeding her evil father. The rune warriors bid each other farewell and parted ways. All was well in [[Eo]] except for the tortured warrior who turned into a [[Shadow]] not long thereafter. The Shadow Warrior was welcomed by his new people and was even granted a high position by their leader [[The First Shadow]] but the reasons as to why are unknown.
===Shadow Wars===
====Secret Ally====
During the initial phases of [[Shadow Wars|The Shadow Wars]], the [[Shadows|the Shadows]] fought under the orders of [[Sorvina]] who had forced them into submission by bringing the [[The Black Mirror]] into her possession. The Shadow Warrior, presumably under the orders of the [[First Shadow]], searched for a solution to rid them of her ropes and found it in the form of a [[Shaikan]] known as [[Soul Carrier|The Soul Carrier]] who alongside [[Nightsong]], [[Craig Un'shallach|Craig's]] daughter and leader of the Norcaine rebels, was on a campaign to stop [[Sorvina]].
====The Deal====
[[File:SWDeal.png|thumb|Making a deal with Soul Carrier]]
The Shadow Warrior secretly followed the shaikan for a long time and was even present at [[Craig Un'Shallach]]'s funeral but it was only after [[Soul Carrier]] had created a [[Shadow Ring]] in [[Fireforge]] that he revealed himself to him, no longer being able to hide. The warrior explained why the shadows were obeying [[Sorvina]] and if the carrier could obtain the Black Mirror from her, they would abandon her during his attack on [[Dragh'Lur]]. The warrior awaited the Shaikan's answer to his offer under a black tree at the [[Gate of Swords]] and as expected the [[Soul Carrier]] agreed to his deal. Then the warrior explained that the mirror was located in [[The Crater]] of the [[Black Star]] and this location was inaccessible to [[Shadows]] due to a certain spell that [[Gods|the Guardian]] [[Hirin]] had put on it, thus the warrior advised the Shaikan to seek the [[Free Traders]] for a way of getting there.
====Payment====
The [[Soul Carrier]] had to go to great lengths to collect the Black Mirror but succeeded nonetheless and after taking the Shadow Warrior's pledge, received a shadow crystal that could be used to contact the warrior. The shadows were true to their word but at the exact moment that the battle of [[Dragh'Lur]] had come to an end and [[Toth Lar]] was slain the [[First Shadow]] and his retinue appeared to demand the mirror, causing the Soul Carrier to lose the support of [[The Clans]] and [[Nightsong|Nightsong's]] trust, as his deal with the Shadows was made in secret and the Shadows were frowned upon by his allies.
====The Hunt====
Sometime later when the [[Soul Carrier]] had freed himself from [[Shal]] and was hunting [[Janus Malacay]], who had taken control of [[Sorvina|Sorvina's]] body, together with [[Nightsong]] after regaining her trust in [[Crystal Wastes]], he called upon the Shadow Warrior for help who gladly granted it to them. Together, they defeated all the forces of the clans that were stationed there and found Malacay's lab but to their surprise, he was not there and in fact, had used some sort of teleportation device to teleport himself to his secret lab at [[Steel Shore]]. After a while, the party figured out how to activate the device but before using it the shadow warrior remarked that Malacay must have been a true genius to invent a personal teleportation device for himself to which [[Soul Carrier]] joked that [[The Circle]] would have gladly accepted him among their own.
====The Empress====
In the [[Steel Shore]], as a last favor, the Shadow Warrior gave the [[Soul Carrier]]command of some of his forces before disappearing. After [[Malacay]] was defeated he appeared to comfort and encourage [[Nightsong]] to rule her people while offering his and the entirety of [[Shadows|Shadows']] help, which she accepted.
===Portal Crisis===
The [[Shadows]] kept their promise and aided [[Nightsong]] in ruling Lar but disaster soon followed in the form of the [[Portal Crisis]] and the [[Free Trader Crisis]] which saw the fall of the portal network and the rise of a [[Red God|new god]]. [[Dragh'Lur]] was almost a ruin when large numbers of new and upgraded [[Blades]] under the command of [[Yasha Ashir]] invaded the fortress. Fortunately for the defenders the [[shaikan]] known as [[The Guardian]] and her companions came to aid them. The commanding officer in charge [[Azphale]] was suspicious of them and did not whish to relinquish command to her but was persuaded to do so by the Shadow Warrior. After The Guardian's victory the warrior agreed to help the shaikan by lending them troops but not before demanding [[Ironcleaver]], a sword made by the broken parts of the invaders, as a memento of the battle.

Age of Swords

[[File:Age of the Swords Front Page.png|thumb|245x245px|Humans would be cave dwellers still if it were not for the Dwarves]]
The '''Age of Swords''' was an era in the history of [[Eo]] before [[The Convocation]]. This age, which started around 1000 B.C., was characterized by the conflicts and expansion of [[human]] kingdoms in a struggle for survival and domination of the world.

== History ==

=== Dragon Civil War ===
[[File:Galgalath.png|left|thumb|247x247px|'''Galgalath, a Devourer''']]
For countless millennia [[dragons]] had dominated the world of [[Eo]], However, they considered themselves to be merely protectors hence why they hunted the tyrannical [[Shapers]] to extinction. As time went on, some of the dragons were consumed by pride and chose to betray their kin in order to rule the world. What followed was a deadly civil war which significantly weakened the reptilians and resulted in the creation of a diabolical subspecies called [[Devourers]], these were the defeated traitor dragons who were tortured and had the [[Archfire|Allfire]] taken out of their veins by the [[Gods|Guardians]] as punishment for their treachery.

=== Rise of Humanity ===
[[Dwarves]] depart the [[Grimwarg Mountains]] in search of mineral resources. They reach the [[Windwall]] where they stumble upon barbarian [[Humans]] living in caves. They are impressed by their intelligence and decide to culturally and technologically uplift the primitives. In the years that followed, humans, thanks to their high birth rate, rapidly expanded across Fiara and established many settlements.

=== Birth of an Empire ===
[[File:TheShaikanSymbol.png|thumb|230x230px|The Shaikan were a product of the Hybernian Empire]]
Amidst all the turmoil and chaos the world found itself in, a man of exceptional power whom history would remember as [[Chlreus the Blessed One]] was born. He proved himself to be the greatest warlord of the Age of Swords who managed to unite the divided human settlements, eventually becoming the first god-emperor of the [[Hybernian Empire]], solidifying his dominion by hunting the dragons to extinction. However, history would later reveal that a handful survived the onslaught.

=== End of an Era ===
Despite the unstable nature of the Age of Swords it was in many ways a golden age for humanity and unfortunately it came to a violent end with the betrayal of the [[Renegades]] and the [[War of the Six Races]].

== Trivia ==

* Phenomic Games did not specify certain details of the Age of Swords such as how, when and if it ended but for the sake of simplicity this article will assume that it ended with the War of the Six Races until it is revealed otherwise.

Age of Swords

MrHA: made a page but it needs some work

[[File:Age of the Swords Front Page.png|thumb|245x245px|Humans would be cave dwellers still if it were not for the Dwarves]]
The '''Age of Swords''' was an era in the history of [[Eo]] prior to [[The Convocation]]. This age was characterized by the conflicts and expansion of [[human]] kingdoms in a struggle for survival and domination of the world which lasted from approximately 1000 B.C to ??? B.C.

== History ==

=== Dragon Civil War ===
[[File:Galgalath.png|left|thumb|247x247px|'''Galgalath, a Devourer''']]
For countless millennia [[dragons]] had dominated the world of [[Eo]], However they considered themselves to be merely protectors hence why they hunted the tyrannical [[Shapers]] to extinction. As time went on some of the dragons were consumed by pride and decided to betray their kin in order to rule the world. What followed was a deadly civil war which significantly weakened the reptilians and resulted in the creation of a diabolical sub species called [[Devourers]], these were the defeated traitor dragons who were tortured and had the [[Archfire|Allfire]] taken out of their veins by the [[Gods|Guardians]] as punishment for their treachery.

=== Rise of Humanity ===
[[Dwarves]] depart the [[Grimwarg Mountains]] in search of mineral resources. They reach the [[Windwall]] where they stumble upon barbarian [[Humans]] living in caves. They are impressed by their intelligence and decide to culturally and technologically uplift the primitives. In the years that followed humans, thanks to their high birth rate, rapidly expanded to all corners of the world and established their own kingdoms. These petty kingdoms were often at war, be it with one another and or other races such as the [[Elves]].

=== Birth of an Empire ===
[[File:TheShaikanSymbol.png|thumb|230x230px|The Shaikan were a product of the Hybernian Empire]]
Amidst all the turmoil and chaos which the world found itself in a mage of exceptional power whom the history would remember as [[Chlreus the Blessed One]] was born. He proved himself to be the greatest warlord of the Age of Swords and conquered each and every kingdom he sat his eyes on. Eventually he became the first god-emperor of the [[Hybernian Empire]] and solidified his dominion by hunting the dragons to extinction, although history would later reveal that a handful survived the onslaught.

=== End of an Era ===
TBA

'''The Phoenix Bearer''' is a legendary former rune warrior and protagonist of [[SpellForce: The Order of Dawn]] and [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix]] who played a pivotal role in saving the realms of [[Eo]] in the [[Battle for Fiara]] and, subsequently, [[the Rune Wars]] in the years following [[the Convocation]]. She is skilled fighter and leader, as well as an important figure within [[the Order of Dawn]].

==Biography==
===Early Years===
[[File:Rohen Front Page.png|left|thumb|Rohen Tahir|200px]]
Not much is known of the Phoenix Bearer's early years, at some point in her youth, her soul got bound to a Rune Stone by one of the [[The Circle|Circle Mages]], however, both when this happened and who is responsible for it is unknown. It is possible that, like most rune warriors, she was once a mercenary. Based on the fact that [[Rohen Tahir]] is the one seeking her rune after the Convocation and even refers to her as "old friend", it is most likely that the rune belonged to him in the years prior. Eight years before the Convocation, at the height of the [[Convocation Wars]], she was defeated and her rune was lost and unsummoned.

===Battle For Fiara===
====Messenger of the Order====
[[File:PBS.png|right|thumb|The bearer is summoned|300px]]
In the year 8 following the Convocation, a free rune warrior named [[Tahira]], together with her friends [[Caele]], [[Lev]], and [[Joshua]], is tasked by her former master the Circle Mage Rohen Tahir with retrieving the rune containing the Phoenix Bearer's soul from the orc chieftain [[Krong]] in the [[Ankbrand| ruins of Ankbrand]]. Not long after, Rohen summons the Phoenix Bearer in the mountains of the [[Shadow Pass]] and hands her her own rune, thus granting her freedom and allowing her to be the master of her own will.

Though her memories had faded due to her 8-year-long slumber, Rohen urges her to seek out [[Sartarius]], the master of the Order of Dawn, residing in the city of [[Greyfell]]. On her way, she is ambushed by [[the Dark One]], a mysterious hooded figure plotting to kill Rohen. After a failed attempt at her life, she collects a sealed chest the Dark One had left for his messenger and reaches Sartarius in hopes of opening it. They discover that the chest is protected by a powerful seal, only breakable by a Circle Mage, and thus, the Phoenix Bearer is tasked with bringing it to Rohen, who has since departed for the [[Wildland Pass]].

Her journey first takes her to [[Ereon|Darius Servil]], a local scribe in [[Liannon]] whom Rohen often visits on his travels. He tells her more about Rohen's whereabouts, after which she continues through the islands of [[Eloni]], [[Leafshade]] and [[the Shiel]] before finally reaching the Wildland Pass, meanwhile pushing back the hordes of the [[Black Fist]], a mercenary group led by [[Brannigan]] and loyal to the Dark One. With the help of her rune armies, she manages to push through their defences and the Dark One's [[Blades]], finally crossing the portal to the [[Frost Marshes]] and catching up to Rohen.

Their reunion is short-lived, however, for the seal on the chest, she brought him was a trap, encasing them both in ice as they attempted to remove it. The Dark One appears once again, mocking them and killing Rohen, but not before Rohen could advise the Phoenix Bearer on what to do next. She is to seek out [[Hokan Ashir|Hokan's Legacy]] and a [[Phoenix Stone|a way to stop a Circle Mage]].

Defeated and directionless, she returns to Greyfell to bring them the news of Rohen's passing as the forces of light and darkness prepare for war.

====In Search of the Phoenix====
[[File:HokanAshir2.png|left|thumb|The bearer is forced to make a deal with Hokan Ashir|200px]]
After discussing Rohen's last words with Sartarius, the Phoenix Bearer learns that she must venture into [[the Darklands]] to find the means necessary to stop Rohen's killer. She is advised to first meet with [[Marcia]], an ambassador of the Order in [[Northern Windwall Mountains|Stonewell]], home of the royal house [[Hallit]], to acquire more leads on Hokan. This trail eventually leads her to [[Greydusk Vale]], a border fortress of the Order under the command of [[Urias]]. It is then revealed that while Hokan's body may have perished during the Convocation, his spirit still roams the ruins of [[Whisper]] from whence he commands his [[Undead]] hordes, restlessly searching for the [[Mask of Belial]] that had been stolen from his grave. He tasked one of his most powerful servants, [[Korshar]], with finding it

Despite knowing the dangers involved in dealing with a former mage of the Circle, the Phoenix Bearer has no choice but to find the two parts of the mask as leverage for her demands. She retrieves the part hidden in the fortress by a necromancer by the name of [[Malicor]], before making her way to Korshar who already had one part in his possession. After defeating his forces inside the ruins of the old [[the Iron Falcons|Falcon]] fortress in [[the Howling Mounds]], the Phoenix Bearer traded both parts for a fraction of Hokan's wisdom: to defeat the Dark One's Blades, she must slay the [[Soulforger]], and to find the Phoenix, she must rummage the ruins of [[Mulandir]], the former seat of the Circle.

Arriving in the once greatest pool of knowledge on Eo, she made her way North to where the Archives of the Circle once stood. Amongst them, a former servant of the Circle stood guard over their remaining riches. He could give her the Phoenix, but first, she must pass a trial put before her: to bring back an old artefact of the [[Shapers]] that had been broken and stolen during the turmoil of the Convocation - the [[four time shards]] - and that now lay scattered across the surrounding lands.

Having collected the pieces, the Phoenix Bearer was handed the Phoenix and now had a weapon powerful enough to defeat a mage of the Circle. Armed, she made her way back to Greyfell to discuss the Order's next steps with Sartarius.

====Counterattack====
[[File:Craig1.png|right|thumb|"A Rune Warrior, what an irony of fate!"|200px]]
While she was searching for the Phoenix, the Order made plans to bring the fight to their enemy. Sartarius, together with every combatant of the Order of Dawn, set out to break the enemy's blockade in the Frost Marshes. With haste, the Phoenix Bearer followed suit, but upon her arrival, she found that the Order had paid greatly for this ordeal. They had indeed broken the blockade but at the cost of their lives. Only two of their members survived: Urias, who had been saved by the [[Dark Elves|dark elf]] [[Craig Un'Shallach]], and Sartarius, whom the enemy has taken prisoner. Short on options and time, the Phoenix Bearer pushed forward into the [[Southern Godmark]] where Sartarius was being kept, freeing the master of the Order, yet by doing so, walking into another of the Dark One's traps. Sartarius, too, dies by his hand, while the Phoenix Stone, the ace up their sleeve, gets stolen.

====The Circle Closes====
[[File:SoulForger1.png|left|thumb|Soul Forger prepares to fight the bearer while its master finishes his work|250px]]
The Phoenix Bearer nearly escapes her death through the help of Urias and Craig, yet she now finds herself in a desperate position. Filled with anger for the Dark One and the Circle, she nonetheless makes her way to [[Nightwhisper Dale]] where she crosses the great portal to [[Urgath]] to stop the Dark One once and for all. Atop the obsidian mountain in [[Sharrowdale]], she slays the Soulforger and faces her foe for the final time, only to discover that the hooded figure she had been fighting is none other than Rohen himself, albeit a younger version, poised to traveling through time and deciding the outcome of the Convocation for himself.

In shock, she can do nought but watch as Rohen steps through his [[Time Portal]]. At this moment, even though her strife for the Circle burns strong, she realises that she mustn't follow him through, for if she were to stop him now, he would have never been their saviour come the Convocation. She removed the Phoenix Stone from the portal, its frame collapsed, and she disappeared into the unknown knowing that, had she returned it, the people would have only quarrelled to get their hands on such a powerful artefact.

===Rune Wars===
====A Masked Threat====
[[File:Alyah Arias.png|left|thumb|Alyah Arias|200px]]
In the year 15 after the Convocation, 7 years after she had last been seen, the Phoenix Bearer had been beckoned by her old friend, Darius Servil, to meet him at [[the Blackwater Coast]]. However, upon her arrival, instead of Darius, all she found was a land ravaged by the undead and a small group of Order troops, led by the ever-vigilant Urias who has tried rebuilding the Order of Dawn in the years following the [[Battle for Fiara]].

Together, they discovered that Darius was tracking down the graves of the deceased Circle Mages, for someone had been desecrating them and stealing their lifeless bodies. The hints the scribe left behind pointed towards the gold city of [[Xu]], [[Empyria]], where they were to search for the [[Dryad of the Life Tree]], as only her assistance could help them face a new danger on the horizon - though reaching her would be no small feat. In their search for ways into her garden, the duo met [[Alyah Arias]], daughter of the ruling emperor, [[Magnus Arias]], once crown princess, now degraded to a thief in the slums of the city.
[[File:XuDryad.png|right|thumb|Woman under the Tree|300px]]
With Alyah's help, the Phoenix Bearer made her way to the [[Dryad Cove]] and rescued the Dryad from the foul ploys of a [[Hokan Ashir|masked figure]] to rid her of this world. Grateful for their help, she unveiled many secrets to the Phoenix Bearer: she revealed the true identity of Darius to be the Guardian Ereon, unmasked the new threat as the Circle Mage Hokan Ashir, and told of how the latter captured the former in the depths of Zarach's [[Bone Temple]], using his divine blood to resurrect the mages of the Circle under his will. Though Hokan had once died himself, it was the Mask of Belial, brought to him by the Phoenix Bearer herself, that reformed his body and gave him new life.

====An Old Friend====
[[File:UndeadRohen.png|left|thumb|"Free at last"|300px]]
Taking the Dryad's advice, the Phoenix Bearer set her sights on reaching the [[Uru]], a wise woman of the [[Kathai]] people, a journey that would take her through the deadly [[Red Wastes|land]] of the [[Hazim]], and the undead-infested fortresses of the [[Raven Pass]]. There, atop the highest peaks of the mountains, the Phoenix Bearer and Urias would face the brunt of Hokan's undead forces, sent out to halt their advance. To make matters worse, these forces were spearheaded by none other than Rohen Tahir, the old man murdered at the Frost Marshes, brought back to life under Hokan's sinister will.

Following numerous hard-fought battles and aided by the Kathai, the Phoenix Bearer's forces succeeded in breaking through their ranks. With his soul set free once more, Rohen managed to escape Hokan's grasp, and before being taken to his earned rest at the [[River of Souls]], he revealed how to break the stone harbouring the Phoenix, still in possession of the Phoenix Bearer, to set the being within free and put an end to the Circle for good.

====Shadow Warrior====
Having finally reached the Uru and her people, the Phoenix Bearer was quick to break the ring of besiegers around them - both the Undead and the Imperial troops, led by Emperor Magnus Arias in person. The Uru was saved, though the victory came at a grave cost, for while fighting the Imperials, Urias sacrificed his life to save Alyah from the clutches of the [[Bronze Giant]], yet there was little time to mourn.
[[File:CraigEmpyria.jpg|right|thumb|The dracon must return to his people|250px]]
While conferring with the Uru, the Dryad sent out her ghost to aid them. Her birds had discovered the blade Rohen spoke of, wielded by a [[Shadow Warrior|damned rune warrior]] whom Hokan held captive. With their efforts combined, they could release the Phoenix, save Ereon, and rid this world of Hokan's evil. The Phoenix Bearer was granted access into the ancient halls of the [[Zerbites]], through which she could cross the [[Darkwind Keep|Darkwind Mountains]] and enter the rotten belly of the [[Black Jungle]] in the south of Xu.
Descending the Mountains to the South, she came face to face with Hokan's elite - Blades of unimaginable strength and fervour, fueled by countless Soulforgers at his beck and call. Against the odds and greatly helped by the Uru's people, she freed the [[Shadow Warrior]] and [[Craig Un'Shallach]]. Exchanging but a few words and united in their hate for what the Circle had done, the Phoenix Bearer and [[Shadow Warrior]] joined forces and crossed the threshold into Hokan's lands, determined to cull his scourge from Eo.
[[File:SWDarkwind.png|left|thumb|"One way or another, it will end"|100px]]

====In the Shadow of the Phoenix====
[[File:TorturedDarius.png|right|thumb|Ereon in Hokan's captivity|200px]]
Passing through [[the Gorge]] and defences of the [[Sha]], the Rune Warrior Duo crossed the portal into Zarach's Bone Temple, a place so unholy even the mighty Guardians hold no power on its grounds. For one final time, they summoned their rune armies and pushed onward, through the hordes of Undead, through the deadly blades of the Iron Ones, until reaching the depths of the temple where Ereon had been held.

They freed the God from his chains, uncovering a bitter truth in the process: Hokan wished to use the Circle to merge with [[Belial]], a demi-god servant of Zarach. Should that succeed, releasing the Phoenix would be for nought, for he wouldn't recognise the ones who had captured him centuries prior. The rune warriors made haste. They entered Zarach's throne room and faced the abomination Hokan had become. They could not kill the demi-god, but they managed to interrupt Hokan's transformation. As soon as he returned, they unleashed the Phoenix from its prison. It soared from the skies and destroyed the Circle before disappearing over the horizon.

The Rune Warriors' task had been done - after countless lives and deaths, they had been freed from the tyranny of [[The Circle]].

===After the Rune===
Following the defeat of Hokan and the Circle, the Phoenix Bearer returned to [[Empyria]], now ruled by [[Alyah]] after the death of her father, to reestablish the Order of Dawn in Urias' memory. It is unknown for how long she retained a leading position within the organization, but it is known that she spread the Order's reach and influence once more, as evident by its presence across [[Fiara]] in the years to follow.

After the power of the rune had dissipated following the Circle's defeat, the Phoenix Bearer wished to live out the remainder of her life in peace, getting rid of all that reminded her of the rune and her servitude under [[the Circle]].

Her current whereabouts are unknown.

==Trivia==
*The Phoenix Bearer was originally depicted as a mage in early trailers of the game. This was changed in SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix, when she appeared as a fighter.
*Promotional art of SpellForce: The Order of Dawn depicts what appears to be the Phoenix bearer in a set of armor not available in-game. This armor would later become accessible in SpellForce 2.

'''The Phoenix Bearer''' is a legendary former rune warrior and protagonist of [[SpellForce: The Order of Dawn]] and [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix]] who played a pivotal role in saving the realms of [[Eo]] in the [[Battle for Fiara]] and, subsequently, [[the Rune Wars]] in the years following [[the Convocation]]. She is skilled fighter and leader, as well as an important figure within [[the Order of Dawn]].

==Biography==
===Early Years===
[[File:Rohen Front Page.png|left|thumb|Rohen Tahir|200px]]
Not much is known of the Phoenix Bearer's early years, at some point in her youth, her soul got bound to a Rune Stone by one of the [[The Circle|Circle Mages]], however, both when this happened and who is responsible for it is unknown. It is possible that, like most rune warriors, she was once a mercenary. Based on the fact that [[Rohen Tahir]] is the one seeking her rune after the Convocation and even refers to her as "old friend", it is most likely that the rune belonged to him in the years prior. Eight years before the Convocation, at the height of the [[Convocation Wars]], she was defeated and her rune was lost and unsummoned.

===Battle For Fiara===
====Messenger of the Order====
[[File:PBS.png|right|thumb|The bearer is summoned|300px]]
In the year 8 following the Convocation, a free rune warrior named [[Tahira]], together with her friends [[Caele]], [[Lev]], and [[Joshua]], is tasked by her former master the Circle Mage Rohen Tahir with retrieving the rune containing the Phoenix Bearer's soul from the orc chieftain [[Krong]] in the [[Ankbrand| ruins of Ankbrand]]. Not long after, Rohen summons the Phoenix Bearer in the mountains of the [[Shadow Pass]] and hands her her own rune, thus granting her freedom and allowing her to be the master of her own will.

Though her memories had faded due to her 8-year-long slumber, Rohen urges her to seek out [[Sartarius]], the master of the Order of Dawn, residing in the city of [[Greyfell]]. On her way, she is ambushed by [[the Dark One]], a mysterious hooded figure plotting to kill Rohen. After a failed attempt at her life, she collects a sealed chest the Dark One had left for his messenger and reaches Sartarius in hopes of opening it. They discover that the chest is protected by a powerful seal, only breakable by a Circle Mage, and thus, the Phoenix Bearer is tasked with bringing it to Rohen, who has since departed for the [[Wildland Pass]].

Her journey first takes her to [[Ereon|Darius Servil]], a local scribe in [[Liannon]] whom Rohen often visits on his travels. He tells her more about Rohen's whereabouts, after which she continues through the islands of [[Eloni]], [[Leafshade]] and [[the Shiel]] before finally reaching the Wildland Pass, meanwhile pushing back the hordes of the [[Black Fist]], a mercenary group led by [[Brannigan]] and loyal to the Dark One. With the help of her rune armies, she manages to push through their defences and the Dark One's [[Blades]], finally crossing the portal to the [[Frost Marshes]] and catching up to Rohen.

Their reunion is short-lived, however, for the seal on the chest, she brought him was a trap, encasing them both in ice as they attempted to remove it. The Dark One appears once again, mocking them and killing Rohen, but not before Rohen could advise the Phoenix Bearer on what to do next. She is to seek out [[Hokan Ashir|Hokan's Legacy]] and a [[Phoenix Stone|a way to stop a Circle Mage]].

Defeated and directionless, she returns to Greyfell to bring them the news of Rohen's passing as the forces of light and darkness prepare for war.

====In Search of the Phoenix====
[[File:HokanAshir2.png|left|thumb|The bearer is forced to make a deal with Hokan Ashir|200px]]
After discussing Rohen's last words with Sartarius, the Phoenix Bearer learns that she must venture into [[the Darklands]] to find the means necessary to stop Rohen's killer. She is advised to first meet with [[Marcia]], an ambassador of the Order in [[Northern Windwall Mountains|Stonewell]], home of the royal house [[Hallit]], to acquire more leads on Hokan. This trail eventually leads her to [[Greydusk Vale]], a border fortress of the Order under the command of [[Urias]]. It is then revealed that while Hokan's body may have perished during the Convocation, his spirit still roams the ruins of [[Whisper]] from whence he commands his [[Undead]] hordes, restlessly searching for the [[Mask of Belial]] that had been stolen from his grave. He tasked one of his most powerful servants, [[Korshar]], with finding it

Despite knowing the dangers involved in dealing with a former mage of the Circle, the Phoenix Bearer has no choice but to find the two parts of the mask as leverage for her demands. She retrieves the part hidden in the fortress by a necromancer by the name of [[Malicor]], before making her way to Korshar who already had one part in his possession. After defeating his forces inside the ruins of the old [[the Iron Falcons|Falcon]] fortress in [[the Howling Mounds]], the Phoenix Bearer traded both parts for a fraction of Hokan's wisdom: to defeat the Dark One's Blades, she must slay the [[Soulforger]], and to find the Phoenix, she must rummage the ruins of [[Mulandir]], the former seat of the Circle.

Arriving in the once greatest pool of knowledge on Eo, she made her way North to where the Archives of the Circle once stood. Amongst them, a former servant of the Circle stood guard over their remaining riches. He could give her the Phoenix, but first, she must pass a trial put before her: to bring back an old artefact of the [[Shapers]] that had been broken and stolen during the turmoil of the Convocation - the [[four time shards]] - and that now lay scattered across the surrounding lands.

Having collected the pieces, the Phoenix Bearer was handed the Phoenix and now had a weapon powerful enough to defeat a mage of the Circle. Armed, she made her way back to Greyfell to discuss the Order's next steps with Sartarius.

====Counterattack====
[[File:Craig1.png|right|thumb|"A Rune Warrior, what an irony of fate!"|200px]]
While she was searching for the Phoenix, the Order made plans to bring the fight to their enemy. Sartarius, together with every combatant of the Order of Dawn, set out to break the enemy's blockade in the Frost Marshes. With haste, the Phoenix Bearer followed suit, but upon her arrival, she found that the Order had paid greatly for this ordeal. They had indeed broken the blockade but at the cost of their lives. Only two of their members survived: Urias, who had been saved by the [[Dark Elves|dark elf]] [[Craig Un'Shallach]], and Sartarius, whom the enemy has taken prisoner. Short on options and time, the Phoenix Bearer pushed forward into the [[Southern Godmark]] where Sartarius was being kept, freeing the master of the Order, yet by doing so, walking into another of the Dark One's traps. Sartarius, too, dies by his hand, while the Phoenix Stone, the ace up their sleeve, gets stolen.

====The Circle Closes====
[[File:SoulForger1.png|left|thumb|Soul Forger prepares to fight the bearer while its master finishes his work|250px]]
The Phoenix Bearer nearly escapes her death through the help of Urias and Craig, yet she now finds herself in a desperate position. Filled with anger for the Dark One and the Circle, she nonetheless makes her way to [[Nightwhisper Dale]] where she crosses the great portal to [[Urgath]] to stop the Dark One once and for all. Atop the obsidian mountain in [[Sharrowdale]], she slays the Soulforger and faces her foe for the final time, only to discover that the hooded figure she had been fighting is none other than Rohen himself, albeit a younger version, poised to traveling through time and deciding the outcome of the Convocation for himself.

In shock, she can do nought but watch as Rohen steps through his [[Time Portal]]. At this moment, even though her strife for the Circle burns strong, she realises that she mustn't follow him through, for if she were to stop him now, he would have never been their saviour come the Convocation. She removed the Phoenix Stone from the portal, its frame collapsed, and she disappeared into the unknown knowing that, had she returned it, the people would have only quarrelled to get their hands on such a powerful artefact.
[[File:DarkOneEnd.png|center|thumb|Dark One about to step through the time portal|350px]]
===Rune Wars===
====A Masked Threat====
[[File:Alyah Arias.png|left|thumb|Alyah Arias|200px]]
In the year 15 after the Convocation, 7 years after she had last been seen, the Phoenix Bearer had been beckoned by her old friend, Darius Servil, to meet him at [[the Blackwater Coast]]. However, upon her arrival, instead of Darius, all she found was a land ravaged by the undead and a small group of Order troops, led by the ever-vigilant Urias who has tried rebuilding the Order of Dawn in the years following the [[Battle for Fiara]].

Together, they discovered that Darius was tracking down the graves of the deceased Circle Mages, for someone had been desecrating them and stealing their lifeless bodies. The hints the scribe left behind pointed towards the gold city of [[Xu]], [[Empyria]], where they were to search for the [[Dryad of the Life Tree]], as only her assistance could help them face a new danger on the horizon - though reaching her would be no small feat. In their search for ways into her garden, the duo met [[Alyah Arias]], daughter of the ruling emperor, [[Magnus Arias]], once crown princess, now degraded to a thief in the slums of the city.
[[File:XuDryad.png|right|thumb|Woman under the Tree|300px]]
With Alyah's help, the Phoenix Bearer made her way to the [[Dryad Cove]] and rescued the Dryad from the foul ploys of a [[Hokan Ashir|masked figure]] to rid her of this world. Grateful for their help, she unveiled many secrets to the Phoenix Bearer: she revealed the true identity of Darius to be the Guardian Ereon, unmasked the new threat as the Circle Mage Hokan Ashir, and told of how the latter captured the former in the depths of Zarach's [[Bone Temple]], using his divine blood to resurrect the mages of the Circle under his will. Though Hokan had once died himself, it was the Mask of Belial, brought to him by the Phoenix Bearer herself, that reformed his body and gave him new life.

====An Old Friend====
[[File:UndeadRohen.png|left|thumb|"Free at last"|300px]]
Taking the Dryad's advice, the Phoenix Bearer set her sights on reaching the [[Uru]], a wise woman of the [[Kathai]] people, a journey that would take her through the deadly [[Red Wastes|land]] of the [[Hazim]], and the undead-infested fortresses of the [[Raven Pass]]. There, atop the highest peaks of the mountains, the Phoenix Bearer and Urias would face the brunt of Hokan's undead forces, sent out to halt their advance. To make matters worse, these forces were spearheaded by none other than Rohen Tahir, the old man murdered at the Frost Marshes, brought back to life under Hokan's sinister will.

Following numerous hard-fought battles and aided by the Kathai, the Phoenix Bearer's forces succeeded in breaking through their ranks. With his soul set free once more, Rohen managed to escape Hokan's grasp, and before being taken to his earned rest at the [[River of Souls]], he revealed how to break the stone harbouring the Phoenix, still in possession of the Phoenix Bearer, to set the being within free and put an end to the Circle for good.

====Shadow Warrior====
Having finally reached the Uru and her people, the Phoenix Bearer was quick to break the ring of besiegers around them - both the Undead and the Imperial troops, led by Emperor Magnus Arias in person. The Uru was saved, though the victory came at a grave cost, for while fighting the Imperials, Urias sacrificed his life to save Alyah from the clutches of the [[Bronze Giant]], yet there was little time to mourn.
[[File:CraigEmpyria.jpg|right|thumb|The dracon must return to his people|250px]]
While conferring with the Uru, the Dryad sent out her ghost to aid them. Her birds had discovered the blade Rohen spoke of, wielded by a [[Shadow Warrior|damned rune warrior]] whom Hokan held captive. With their efforts combined, they could release the Phoenix, save Ereon, and rid this world of Hokan's evil. The Phoenix Bearer was granted access into the ancient halls of the [[Zerbites]], through which she could cross the [[Darkwind Keep|Darkwind Mountains]] and enter the rotten belly of the [[Black Jungle]] in the south of Xu.
Descending the Mountains to the South, she came face to face with Hokan's elite - Blades of unimaginable strength and fervour, fueled by countless Soulforgers at his beck and call. Against the odds and greatly helped by the Uru's people, she freed the [[Shadow Warrior]] and [[Craig Un'Shallach]]. Exchanging but a few words and united in their hate for what the Circle had done, the Phoenix Bearer and [[Shadow Warrior]] joined forces and crossed the threshold into Hokan's lands, determined to cull his scourge from Eo.
[[File:SWDarkwind.png|left|thumb|"One way or another, it will end"|100px]]

====In the Shadow of the Phoenix====
[[File:TorturedDarius.png|right|thumb|Ereon in Hokan's captivity|200px]]
Passing through [[the Gorge]] and defences of the [[Sha]], the Rune Warrior Duo crossed the portal into Zarach's Bone Temple, a place so unholy even the mighty Guardians hold no power on its grounds. For one final time, they summoned their rune armies and pushed onward, through the hordes of Undead, through the deadly blades of the Iron Ones, until reaching the depths of the temple where Ereon had been held.

They freed the God from his chains, uncovering a bitter truth in the process: Hokan wished to use the Circle to merge with [[Belial]], a demi-god servant of Zarach. Should that succeed, releasing the Phoenix would be for nought, for he wouldn't recognise the ones who had captured him centuries prior. The rune warriors made haste. They entered Zarach's throne room and faced the abomination Hokan had become. They could not kill the demi-god, but they managed to interrupt Hokan's transformation. As soon as he returned, they unleashed the Phoenix from its prison. It soared from the skies and destroyed the Circle before disappearing over the horizon.

The Rune Warriors' task had been done - after countless lives and deaths, they had been freed from the tyranny of [[The Circle]].

'''Rohen Tahir''' is a former [[The Circle|Circle Mage]], founder of [[The Order of Dawn]] and one of the most influential individuals in [[Eo|Eo's]] history, playing a pivotal role in reconnecting the world after [[the Convocation]] by creating [[portals]] to mend the broken countenance of the world.

==Biography==
===Early Years===
Rohen's past as one of the founding members of [[the Circle]] is well documented, his personal life however is not since he disliked people investigating his past and took active measures to hide it, such as placing deadly and hostile specters to guard his [[Lea Muire|wife]]'s grave. It is unknown where exactly he hails from, he likely spent his early years studying magic and honing his skills.

Nevertheless, he during this time, he was already one of the most powerful and bright mages on [[Eo]], especially in the realm of Elemental Magic - the school he specialized in.

====The Circle====
[[File:Circle Front Page.png|thumb|Superior ability breeds superior ambition]]
Rohen was chosen as one of the original 11 representatives of [[the Circle]] and has thus been one of its founding members. During the early years of the organization, much like his fellow Circle Mages, Rohen dedicated a considerable amount of time to the research of magic and preservation of peace on [[Eo]] - the main tenets of the Circle. This would eventually lead them to [[Xu]] where, inside of an ancient [[Shapers|Shaper]] ruin, they discovered the [[Allfire]], essence of all magic. This discovery fascinated the Circle, and over the coming years, they began mastering this newly acquired magic. This caused both their power and lifespan to increase exponentially, making them nigh immortal and solidifying the Circle as the keepers of prosperity on Eo for centuries.

Alongside it, they also discovered runic scriptures detailing a prophecy of a day when [[Aonir|Aonir's]] hold on Eo and the [[Primal Elements]] would weaken, allowing powerful individuals to harness their immense power. However, although the Circle wasn't aware of it back then, this false prophecy, left behind by the [[Fial Darg]] at the end of the [[War of the Six Races]] would play a major role in orchestrating their downfall.

During his time in the circle, he developed a preference for [[Magic|Fire Magic]], though he would come to prefer Ice Magic later in life. He was also known for his fiery speeches in [[Mulandir]] and was present when the mercenary who would later be known as [[The Guardian]] was turned into a [[Rune Warriors|Rune Warrior]].

====The Piper====
As the Circle's power grew, each of its members began expanding their spheres of influence across Eo. During such expansions, while still mostly peaceful, they would sometimes clash with other influential individuals who stood in their way. One such individual known as [[the Piper]] would join the Circle around the year 400 B.C. as its 13th and final member following the inauguration of [[Hokan Ashir]] some years prior. Though Rohen wasn't solely responsible for inviting the Piper into the Circle, the two had clashed in small-scale skirmishes beforehand, which had greatly impressed the Circle Mage.

====Convocation Wars====
Over the next centuries, the Circle kept solidifying its hold on Eo, growing ever more power-hungry under the influence of the Allfire as the day of the prophecy was drawing ever closer. However, as their power increased, so did the mistrust towards their fellow Circle Mages, each wishing to gain the power of the Primal Elements for themselves alone. These tensions reached their high point around the year 50 B.C. with the start of the Convocation Wars - a series of military conflicts between the Circle Mages that caused mayhem and disarray across Eo.

This caused the Circle to fall apart. Using their powerful armies to do battle, they ravaged the lands and became the cause of what they once stood to prevent. It isn't known against which Circle Mages Rohen fought specifically, but this time saw the employment of his [[Orcs|Orkish]] and [[Rune Warriors|Rune]] armies. Though he was a human, Rohen showed a preference for using hordes of Orcs to bolster his ranks - a trademark he had already shown during his skirmishes with the Piper centuries ago.

As the day of the prophecy drew near and the Circle prepared to call upon the slumbering Elements, Rohen patiently awaited inside his tower. However, fate would have a different plan for him, as he was stopped for partaking in the ritual, thus saving his life and allowing him to become Eo's saviour in the years that followed.

'''''The information provided below this point focuses on the events as they appear in SpellForce: The Order of Dawn. It is important to note that, to reach these events, some of the characters go through a time loop. For the sake of clarity, these time jumps won't be covered here, so please take a look at [[Rohen's Time Loop|this]] page if you wish to know more.'''''

===Rune Wars===
Rohen survived the Convocation, although only through the help of [[Ereon]], son of Aonir and [[Gods|Guardian]] of knowledge. He helped steer Rohen back to the right path, bestowing upon him the secrets of the Convocation and opening his eyes to the lie it truly was. Armed with this knowledge, Rohen decided to henceforth use his powers to aid the mending of the broken world he had helped create. He constructed the [[Portals]], established [[the Order of Dawn]] in [[Greyfell]], and thus laid a foundation for the new world to prosper once more.

====Battle for Fiara====
[[File:Rohen summoning PB.PNG|right|thumb|Rohen summoning the Phoenix Bearer|300px]]
Around the year 8 A.C., Rohen sent an envoy to an old friend living on the outskirts of the once great city of [[Ankbrand]], [[Tahira]]. She was to recover a [[Phoenix Bearer|special rune]] for him, from within the city's ruins - a task which she reluctantly accepted. Once in his possession, Rohen set out to the [[Shadow Pass]] to summon the warrior, tasking her with seeking out the leader of the Order of Dawn, [[Sartarius]] in [[Greyfell]], before being urged by [[The Messenger|a messenger]] to deal with an [[Iron Ones|emerging thread]] at the [[Wildland Pass]], though before making his way there, he sought out his old friend [[Ereon|Darius Servil]] in [[Liannon]].

Once At the Wildland Pass, Rohen and his bodyguard got separated by an attack of the [[Black Fist]], forcing his men to set up camp and stay behind while he continued his journey deep behind enemy lines - none of whom presented much of a challenge to a mage of his calibre.

Finally arriving at the [[Frost Marshes]], he was called out by the [[Phoenix Bearer]] who had managed to catch up to Rohen in an urgent mission of the Order. She gave him a casket she had acquired from yet another Circle Mage that had allegedly survived [[the Convocation]], though unbeknownst to her, this mage, known as the [[Dark One]], was none other than Rohen himself, albeit much younger, and the casket she had acquired was an elaborate trap meant to get rid of his older self.

Rohen, seemingly aware of this, told the Phoenix Bearer how to proceed. She was to seek out [[Hokan Ashir]] and find an [[Phoenix|artefact]] powerful enough to conquer a mage of the Circle. After giving her [[the Book of the Convocation]], he opened the casket, revealing it to be empty and triggering a trap that froze them both in place. The Dark One appeared, killing Rohen and setting the cycle back in motion.

Though Rohen had died, his grand plan to ensure Eo's future was set in motion - something not even his younger self was aware of at the time - continuing the [[Rohen's Time Loop |cycle]] once more.
[[File:Rohen death.PNG|left|thumb|Rohen confronted by the Dark One, moments before his death|300px]]
====Aryn Crysis====
Rohen does not play a significant role during the events of the [[Aryn Crysis]], however, the portals he had created are instrumental to the events occurring in the first place.

====Rune Wars====
7 years after his death at the hands of his younger self, Rohen's resting place was robbed and his corpse reanimated by a now fully revived Hokan Ashir. Hokan used a potion he had created using the essence of a [[Ereon|god]] in his captivity, allowing him to return the dead to true life once more, restoring their full power. This, however, unquestionably bound Rohen to Hokan's will, rendering him a tool in the necromancer's grand plan to merge with the demi-god [[Belial]].

As Hokan's loyal servant, Rohen acted as a general for his undead armies, always at Hokan's beck and call, should he require his assistance. As such, Rohen would ultimately be commanded to lead an army of the dead during a counterattack against the forces of an old friend and ally, the Phoenix Bearer, at the [[Raven Pass]].

After a hard-fought final battle inside the pass' final fortress, Rohen and his army were ultimately defeated by the Phoenix Bearer - in no small part due to Rohen either not having recovered his full strength, or him deliberately not using the power of the [[Allfire]] to give his old friend a fighting chance. Dead once more, Rohen's soul was finally free from Hokan's grasp. Before his final journey to the [[Mor Duine]], he would appear before the Phoenix Bearer, instructing her to combine the Phoenix Stone in her possession with the [[Shadowblade]] of the [[Shadow Warrior]], the hero of the Aryn Crysis kept prisoner by Hokan.

Once his final guidance had been delivered, his soul departed to the River of Souls, flowing amongst its silver waters for the rest of eternity.

=== Legacy ===
{{FancyQuote2
|FQText2 = Maybe if this mage stopped babbling about ruling the world I would actually learn something.
|FCCite2 = '''[[Professor Twiddle]] to the [[Soul Carrier]]'''
}}Even though he no longer dwells amongst the living, the influence of Rohen's work reaches far, even from beyond the grave. His actions doomed countless to death, forever shattered the world and resulted in mages being hated far more than they were before the [[Mage Wars]], however he managed to achieve some measure of redemption during his final years.

His Portal network remains a focal point in ensuring [[Eo]]'s survival. Knowing this, Rohen shared some of his knowledge of portal magic with chosen individuals, ensuring it doesn't fade for good once he's gone.

He also wrote books on the topic, some of which would be studied by [[Professor Twiddle|bright]] [[Nazshar|minds]] trying to recreate his work, for after all of the members of the Circle disappeared from the face of [[Eo]] for good, so did their connection to the Allfire which had been used to fuel the portal network up to that point. However it is also worthy of mention that his knowledge of portals was abused to start the [[Shadow Wars]].

While this means that the world Rohen had created is slowly falling apart, his work and knowledge laid the foundation for the people of [[Eo]] to reunite their world once more - this time using their own power to do so.

==Trivia==
*In SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix, Rohen is the only Revived Circle Mage spotting an undead character model, while all the other mages, apart from Hokan Ashir, were given generic ones.
*It is likely that [[Matricus]], the current leader of the [[Order of Dawn]], was a former apprentice of Rohen.

'''The Phoenix Bearer''' is a legendary former rune warrior and protagonist of [[SpellForce: The Order of Dawn]] and [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix]] who played a pivotal role in saving the realms of [[Eo]] in the [[Battle for Fiara]] and, subsequently, [[the Rune Wars]] in the years following [[the Convocation]]. She is skilled fighter and leader, as well as an important figure within [[the Order of Dawn]].

==Biography==
===Early Years===
[[File:Rohen Front Page.png|left|thumb|Rohen Tahir|200px]]
Not much is known of the Phoenix Bearer's early years, at some point in her youth, her soul got bound to a Rune Stone by one of the [[The Circle|Circle Mages]], however, both when this happened and who is responsible for it is unknown. It is possible that, like most rune warriors, she was once a mercenary. Based on the fact that [[Rohen Tahir]] is the one seeking her rune after the Convocation and even refers to her as "old friend", it is most likely that the rune belonged to him in the years prior. Eight years before the Convocation, at the height of the [[Convocation Wars]], she was defeated and her rune was lost and unsummoned.

===Battle For Fiara===
====Messenger of the Order====
[[File:PBS.png|right|thumb|The bearer is summoned|300px]]
In the year 8 following the Convocation, a free rune warrior named [[Tahira]], together with her friends [[Caele]], [[Lev]], and [[Joshua]], is tasked by her former master the Circle Mage Rohen Tahir with retrieving the rune containing the Phoenix Bearer's soul from the orc chieftain [[Krong]] in the [[Ankbrand| ruins of Ankbrand]]. Not long after, Rohen summons the Phoenix Bearer in the mountains of the [[Shadow Pass]] and hands her her own rune, thus granting her freedom and allowing her to be the master of her own will.

Though her memories had faded due to her 8-year-long slumber, Rohen urges her to seek out [[Sartarius]], the master of the Order of Dawn, residing in the city of [[Greyfell]]. On her way, she is ambushed by [[the Dark One]], a mysterious hooded figure plotting to kill Rohen. After a failed attempt at her life, she collects a sealed chest the Dark One had left for his messenger and reaches Sartarius in hopes of opening it. They discover that the chest is protected by a powerful seal, only breakable by a Circle Mage, and thus, the Phoenix Bearer is tasked with bringing it to Rohen, who has since departed for the [[Wildland Pass]].

Her journey first takes her to [[Ereon|Darius Servil]], a local scribe in [[Liannon]] whom Rohen often visits on his travels. He tells her more about Rohen's whereabouts, after which she continues through the islands of [[Eloni]], [[Leafshade]] and [[the Shiel]] before finally reaching the Wildland Pass, meanwhile pushing back the hordes of the [[Black Fist]], a mercenary group led by [[Brannigan]] and loyal to the Dark One. With the help of her rune armies, she manages to push through their defences and the Dark One's [[Blades]], finally crossing the portal to the [[Frost Marshes]] and catching up to Rohen.

Their reunion is short-lived, however, for the seal on the chest, she brought him was a trap, encasing them both in ice as they attempted to remove it. The Dark One appears once again, mocking them and killing Rohen, but not before Rohen could advise the Phoenix Bearer on what to do next. She is to seek out [[Hokan Ashir|Hokan's Legacy]] and a [[Phoenix Stone|a way to stop a Circle Mage]].

Defeated and directionless, she returns to Greyfell to bring them the news of Rohen's passing as the forces of light and darkness prepare for war.

====In Search of the Phoenix====
[[File:HokanAshir2.png|left|thumb|The bearer is forced to make a deal with Hokan Ashir|200px]]
After discussing Rohen's last words with Sartarius, the Phoenix Bearer learns that she must venture into [[the Darklands]] to find the means necessary to stop Rohen's killer. She is advised to first meet with [[Marcia]], an ambassador of the Order in [[Northern Windwall Mountains|Stonewell]], home of the royal house [[Hallit]], to acquire more leads on Hokan. This trail eventually leads her to [[Greydusk Vale]], a border fortress of the Order under the command of [[Urias]]. It is then revealed that while Hokan's body may have perished during the Convocation, his spirit still roams the ruins of [[Whisper]] from whence he commands his [[Undead]] hordes, restlessly searching for the [[Mask of Belial]] that had been stolen from his grave. He tasked one of his most powerful servants, [[Korshar]], with finding it

Despite knowing the dangers involved in dealing with a former mage of the Circle, the Phoenix Bearer has no choice but to find the two parts of the mask as leverage for her demands. She retrieves the part hidden in the fortress by a necromancer by the name of [[Malicor]], before making her way to Korshar who already had one part in his possession. After defeating his forces inside the ruins of the old [[the Iron Falcons|Falcon]] fortress in [[the Howling Mounds]], the Phoenix Bearer traded both parts for a fraction of Hokan's wisdom: to defeat the Dark One's Blades, she must slay the [[Soulforger]], and to find the Phoenix, she must rummage the ruins of [[Mulandir]], the former seat of the Circle.

Arriving in the once greatest pool of knowledge on Eo, she made her way North to where the Archives of the Circle once stood. Amongst them, a former servant of the Circle stood guard over their remaining riches. He could give her the Phoenix, but first, she must pass a trial put before her: to bring back an old artefact of the [[Shapers]] that had been broken and stolen during the turmoil of the Convocation - the [[four time shards]] - and that now lay scattered across the surrounding lands.

Having collected the pieces, the Phoenix Bearer was handed the Phoenix and now had a weapon powerful enough to defeat a mage of the Circle. Armed, she made her way back to Greyfell to discuss the Order's next steps with Sartarius.

====Counterattack====
[[File:Craig1.png|right|thumb|"A Rune Warrior, what an irony of fate!"|200px]]
While she was searching for the Phoenix, the Order made plans to bring the fight to their enemy. Sartarius, together with every combatant of the Order of Dawn, set out to break the enemy's blockade in the Frost Marshes. With haste, the Phoenix Bearer followed suit, but upon her arrival, she found that the Order had paid greatly for this ordeal. They had indeed broken the blockade but at the cost of their lives. Only two of their members survived: Urias, who had been saved by the [[Dark Elves|dark elf]] [[Craig Un'Shallach]], and Sartarius, whom the enemy has taken prisoner. Short on options and time, the Phoenix Bearer pushed forward into the [[Southern Godmark]] where Sartarius was being kept, freeing the master of the Order, yet by doing so, walking into another of the Dark One's traps. Sartarius, too, dies by his hand, while the Phoenix Stone, the ace up their sleeve, gets stolen.

====The Circle Closes====
[[File:SoulForger1.png|left|thumb|Soul Forger prepares to fight the bearer while its master finishes his work|250px]]
The Phoenix Bearer nearly escapes her death through the help of Urias and Craig, yet she now finds herself in a desperate position. Filled with anger for the Dark One and the Circle, she nonetheless makes her way to [[Nightwhisper Dale]] where she crosses the great portal to [[Urgath]] to stop the Dark One once and for all. Atop the obsidian mountain in [[Sharrowdale]], she slays the Soulforger and faces her foe for the final time, only to discover that the hooded figure she had been fighting is none other than Rohen himself, albeit a younger version, poised to traveling through time and deciding the outcome of the Convocation for himself.

In shock, she can do nought but watch as Rohen steps through his [[Time Portal]]. At this moment, even though her strife for the Circle burns strong, she realises that she mustn't follow him through, for if she were to stop him now, he would have never been their saviour come the Convocation. She removed the Phoenix Stone from the portal, its frame collapsed, and she disappeared into the unknown knowing that, had she returned it, the people would have only quarrelled to get their hands on such a powerful artefact.
[[File:DarkOneEnd.png|center|thumb|Dark One about to step through the time portal|350px]]
===Rune Wars===
====A Masked Threat====
[[File:Alyah Arias.png|left|thumb|Alyah Arias|200px]]
In the year 15 after the Convocation, 7 years after she had last been seen, the Phoenix Bearer had been beckoned by her old friend, Darius Servil, to meet him at [[the Blackwater Coast]]. However, upon her arrival, instead of Darius, all she found was a land ravaged by the undead and a small group of Order troops, led by the ever-vigilant Urias who has tried rebuilding the Order of Dawn in the years following the [[Battle for Fiara]].

Together, they discovered that Darius was tracking down the graves of the deceased Circle Mages, for someone had been desecrating them and stealing their lifeless bodies. The hints the scribe left behind pointed towards the gold city of [[Xu]], [[Empyria]], where they were to search for the [[Dryad of the Life Tree]], as only her assistance could help them face a new danger on the horizon - though reaching her would be no small feat. In their search for ways into her garden, the duo met [[Alyah Arias]], daughter of the ruling emperor, [[Magnus Arias]], once crown princess, now degraded to a thief in the slums of the city.
[[File:XuDryad.png|right|thumb|Woman under the Tree|300px]]
With Alyah's help, the Phoenix Bearer made her way to the [[Dryad Cove]] and rescued the Dryad from the foul ploys of a [[Hokan Ashir|masked figure]] to rid her of this world. Grateful for their help, she unveiled many secrets to the Phoenix Bearer: she revealed the true identity of Darius to be the Guardian Ereon, unmasked the new threat as the Circle Mage Hokan Ashir, and told of how the latter captured the former in the depths of Zarach's [[Bone Temple]], using his divine blood to resurrect the mages of the Circle under his will. Though Hokan had once died himself, it was the Mask of Belial, brought to him by the Phoenix Bearer herself, that reformed his body and gave him new life.

====An Old Friend====
[[File:UndeadRohen.png|left|thumb|"Free at last"|300px]]
Taking the Dryad's advice, the Phoenix Bearer set her sights on reaching the [[Uru]], a wise woman of the [[Kathai]] people, a journey that would take her through the deadly [[Red Wastes|land]] of the [[Hazim]], and the undead-infested fortresses of the [[Raven Pass]]. There, atop the highest peaks of the mountains, the Phoenix Bearer and Urias would face the brunt of Hokan's undead forces, sent out to halt their advance. To make matters worse, these forces were spearheaded by none other than Rohen Tahir, the old man murdered at the Frost Marshes, brought back to life under Hokan's sinister will.

Following numerous hard-fought battles and aided by the Kathai, the Phoenix Bearer's forces succeeded in breaking through their ranks. With his soul set free once more, Rohen managed to escape Hokan's grasp, and before being taken to his earned rest at the [[River of Souls]], he revealed how to break the stone harbouring the Phoenix, still in possession of the Phoenix Bearer, to set the being within free and put an end to the Circle for good.

====Shadow Warrior====
Having finally reached the Uru and her people, the Phoenix Bearer was quick to break the ring of besiegers around them - both the Undead and the Imperial troops, led by Emperor Magnus Arias in person. The Uru was saved, though the victory came at a grave cost, for while fighting the Imperials, Urias sacrificed his life to save Alyah from the clutches of the [[Bronze Giant]], yet there was little time to mourn.
[[File:CraigEmpyria.jpg|right|thumb|The dracon must return to his people|250px]]
While conferring with the Uru, the Dryad sent out her ghost to aid them. Her birds had discovered the blade Rohen spoke of, wielded by a [[Shadow Warrior|damned rune warrior]] whom Hokan held captive. With their efforts combined, they could release the Phoenix, save Ereon, and rid this world of Hokan's evil. The Phoenix Bearer was granted access into the ancient halls of the [[Zerbites]], through which she could cross the [[Darkwind Keep|Darkwind Mountains]] and enter the rotten belly of the [[Black Jungle]] in the south of Xu.
Descending the Mountains to the South, she came face to face with Hokan's elite - Blades of unimaginable strength and fervour, fueled by countless Soulforgers at his beck and call. Against the odds and greatly helped by the Uru's people, she freed the [[Shadow Warrior]] and [[Craig Un'Shallach]]. Exchanging but a few words and united in their hate for what the Circle had done, the Phoenix Bearer and [[Shadow Warrior]] joined forces and crossed the threshold into Hokan's lands, determined to cull his scourge from Eo.
[[File:SWDarkwind.png|left|thumb|"One way or another, it will end"|100px]]

====In the Shadow of the Phoenix====
[[File:TorturedDarius.png|right|thumb|Ereon in Hokan's captivity|200px]]
Passing through [[the Gorge]] and defences of the [[Sha]], the Rune Warrior Duo crossed the portal into Zarach's Bone Temple, a place so unholy even the mighty Guardians hold no power on its grounds. For one final time, they summoned their rune armies and pushed onward, through the hordes of Undead, through the deadly blades of the Iron Ones, until reaching the depths of the temple where Ereon had been held.

They freed the God from his chains, uncovering a bitter truth in the process: Hokan wished to use the Circle to merge with [[Belial]], a demi-god servant of Zarach. Should that succeed, releasing the Phoenix would be for nought, for he wouldn't recognise the ones who had captured him centuries prior. The rune warriors made haste. They entered Zarach's throne room and faced the abomination Hokan had become. They could not kill the demi-god, but they managed to interrupt Hokan's transformation. As soon as he returned, they unleashed the Phoenix from its prison. It soared from the skies and destroyed the Circle before disappearing over the horizon.

The Rune Warriors' task had been done - after countless lives and deaths, they had been freed from the tyranny of [[The Circle]].
[[File:PBStone.png|center|thumb|The Phoenix Stone|400px]]

===After the Rune===
Following the defeat of Hokan and the Circle, the Phoenix Bearer returned to [[Empyria]], now ruled by [[Alyah]] after the death of her father, to reestablish the Order of Dawn in Urias' memory. It is unknown for how long she retained a leading position within the organization, but it is known that she spread the Order's reach and influence once more, as evident by its presence across [[Fiara]] in the years to follow.

After the power of the rune had dissipated following the Circle's defeat, the Phoenix Bearer wished to live out the remainder of her life in peace, getting rid of all that reminded her of the rune and her servitude under [[the Circle]].

Her current whereabouts are unknown.

==Trivia==
*The Phoenix Bearer was originally depicted as a mage in early trailers of the game. This was changed in SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix, when she appeared as a fighter.
*Promotional art of SpellForce: The Order of Dawn depicts what appears to be the Phoenix bearer in a set of armor not available in-game. This armor would later become accessible in SpellForce 2.

The Shadow Warrior, is the main protagonist of [[SpellForce: The Breath of Winter]] and also a possible protagonist in [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix]]. He was a legendary [[Rune Warrior]] who averted the [[Aryn Crisis]] but in the process lost his humanity and turned into a [[shadows|Shadow]]. He also plays a major role in the second series where he aids [[Shaikan|The Shaikan]].
==Biography==
===Early Years===
[[File:LEGR.png|left|thumb|The warrior's former comrades: Lena and Grim|150px]]
The man who would be known as The Shadow Warrior was one of the rune warriors that fought in convocation wars. His recruitment was likely the same as the majority of his peers, a mercenary who was lured by the promises of gold and glory in service to [[The Circle]]. Although it is unknown under which one of the thirteen he served it is a fact that he served alongside [[Lena]], and [[Grim]]. Sometime during the war he was defeated and his rune was lost.
===The Aryn Crisis===
[[File:MonumentSW.png|right|thumb|The Shadow Warrior is Summoned|200px]]
In the distant past a white [[Dragons|dragon]] was born by the name of [[Aryn]] whose unique physiology proved a danger to the world of [[Eo]], This particular dragon was capable of decreasing the temperature of any environment that he resided, to the point of freezing, by his mere presence. Just as he was about to freeze the entire planet one of the five rulers of the elves, [[Cenwen|Queen Cenwen]], saw the pain and loneliness of the creature and offered to be his eternal companion on the condition he leave her people alone. The dragon not only agreed but also granted his powers to Cenwen's clan, who would become the first [[Ice Elves]]. For thousands of years, the duo would peacefully and happily await the end of time in Aryn's sealed cave in the mountains, until Aryn awakens due to his companion's absence and furiously breaks out of his cave to search for her.
====The Resistance====
[[File:Dunhan.jpg|left|thumb|Dunhan|150px]]
[[File:Reowys.jpg|right|thumb|Reowys|150px]]
Approximately two years after [[The Battle of Fiara]], [[Grim]] and [[Lena]] went to a rune monument in [[Mirraw Thur]] in order to summon him. They required his abilities in order to help [[The Resistance]], a group of freed slaves that fought against the slavers of [[Urgath]]. Grim was hesitant on giving the warrior his rune back, believing he would be more useful in this manner but Lena insisted on it. Afterwards they ventured to the resistance camp and explained the situation to the warrior, the Ice elves had allegedly rescued [[Cenwyn|Cenwyn]] from [[Aryn|Aryn]] unware of the fact that this would lead to Eo's destruction. In order to free the elven queen from [[Winterguard|the Winterguard]] base the resistance required the prowess of their old leaders [[Dunhan]] and [[Reowys]], who were [[Rune Warriors]]. Fortunately the Shadow Warrior was able to recover their runes with help from his comrades and a mysterious mage called [[Hokan Ashir|the Masked One]]. Afterwards Grim announced the attack and the unprepared elves were slaughtered.
====Crimson Empire====
[[File:FialDargFreed.jpg|left|thumb|The prince is freed by the traitor|200px]]
[[File:DraconArach1.jpg|right|thumb|The dracon in pursuit|200px]]
After annihilating the ice elves the trio headed to the prison but instead of a queen they found a prince, one of the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Dargs]] that was trapped in ice. Grim freed the creature and revealed himself to be devotee of the [[Gods|Renegades]], it was also revealed that [[Cenwen]] was in fact in the custody of the [[Crimson Empire]] at [[Shal'Dun]]. After this revelation the Fial Darg and Grim left [[Mirraw Thur]] while sending a battalion of Crimson empire soldiers to destroy the resistance. Shorty after [[Elune]], Lena's former mentor and a priestess of the ice elves, appeared in the prison and demanded explanation. Lena explained the whole matter and pleaded to her to save the resistance before casting judgement on her, which Elune reluctantly agreed, beginning the perilous journey to [[Tirganach]], home city of the ice elves. The Shadow Warrior did everything in his power to escort the refugees and in the end succeed despite the attempts of the vicious [[Dracon Arach]] who was on their pursuit.
====Ancient Knowledge====
[[File:Windjalf.jpg|left|thumb|The elder is returned to his people|200px]]
[[File:DarkWall.jpg|right|thumb|The Darkwall|200px]]
Once the refugees safely arrived at their destination [[Aedale|High Priestess Aedale]] explained the whole truth to the shadow warrior and [[Lena]], [[Cenwen]] was indeed abducted by the Crimson empire and their [[Fial Darg]] patron who intended to use her blood in order to perform a ritual that would release [[Zarach]] and [[Nor]]. Before they could proceed to [[Shal'Dun]] however the Shadow warrior was sent by [[Elune]] to the lands of the [[Dwarves|dwarves]] to acquire the [[Firebane]], an ancient and powerfull spell that was capable of destroying the defensive towers of the crimson empire located at [[The Nevershade Frontier]]. First he arrived at the [[Winterdeep]] and put an end to the undead curse that was plaguing the island. Then he arrived at [[Fastholme]] and was greeted by King [[Ragnar Undalfskjar]] and his advisor [[Murim]]. They revealed that the city was under siege by undead hordes under the command of the undead giant [[Gorg]], who had kidnapped the elder [[Windjalf]] in the hopes of receiving the [[Firebane]] himself. The Shadow Warrior offered his help and was thus given command of the dwarven army and access to the rune monument in the city. He managed to defeat the undead army, slay [[Gorg]] and free [[Windjalf]]. Windjalf was reluctant but gave up the firebane. The Shadow Warrior then returned to [[Tirganach]] and reported his success to [[Elune]]. Afterwards the warrior and [[Lena]] traveled to [[The Nevershade Frontier]]. The Crimson empire and their [[Troll]] allies stood to chance against the rune warrior and his dwarven allies, who were led by a destroyer called [[Borondir]]. The warrior even managed to destroy the infamous [[Darkwall]] before venturing to [[Shal'Dun]].
====Unlikely Allies====
[[File:CraigBOW.jpg|left|thumb|The Dracon Craig Un'Shallach wisely decides to aid the Shadow Warrior|200px]]
At the outskirts of the city The warrior met with [[Craig Un'shalach]] and his rebel Dracon caste, fortunately the meeting ended with them forming an alliance. After much planning and preparation The warrior and his allies invaded [[Shal'Dun]] and were able to conquer it, at the climax of the bloody battle [[Lena]] got her revenge against [[Grim]] and froze the traitor to death. After the battle Craig approached the warrior and told him that eventually they would have to deal with the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] and the only weapon capable of doing so was a sword called [[Shadowblade]] which was kept in [[Firefangs]].
====Esoteric Weapon====
[[File:Fireangel.jpg|right|thumb|The Fireangel holds vigil over the alien sword|250px]]
The Shadow Warrior arrived at the [[Firefangs]] but it was invaded by the [[Shadows]] and the [[Shadowblade]] itself was guarded by a [[Fire Angel]]. The Shadow Warrior posed as a servant of the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] and helped the fire angel in defeating and sealing the shadows, but despite this the fire angel refused to give up the sword and figured out the lie before dying at the rune warrior's hand. The Shadow Warrior was informed that whoever wielded the blade would lose their soul but that was a price he was willing to pay in order to save the world. Afterwards He and Lena returned to [[Shal'dun]] but where met with [[Archon Zhaal Tuor]] who lied to them, telling them that Craig had been executed. In actuality, Craig was captured on orders of the [[Hokan Ashir|Masked One]]. Unable to dwell on it for long, the Shadow Warrior and Lena continued their journey to [[The Abyss]], where [[Cenwen]] was being held.
====Price of Victory====
[[File:CenwenAbyss.jpg|left|thumb|Cenwen is found|200px]]
At [[The Abyss]] once again The rune warrior demonstrated his mastery of the art of war and completely butchered all of the forces of the Crimson empire. Inside the abyss they met and freed [[Cenwen]] but all of a sudden the [[Fial Darg|Fial Darg]] emerged and murdered [[Lena]]. The dark lord taunted the Shadow Warrior and engaged in a fierce battle with him but the warrior emerged victorious. [[Cenwen]] thanked the Shadow Warrior and told him to meet with her in [[Tirganach]] before teleporting away.
====Chilling Battle====
The rune warrior met with the elven queen in [[Tirganach]] and discussed how to stop [[Aryn]]. [[Cenwen]] told him that the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] had put a spell on the dragon which would leave him unable to recognize her. The only way to break the spell was to fight the Frostweaver until he was weakened enough for Cenwen's song to dispel the spell's effect. The rune warrior was a bit scared but he accepted nonetheless and headed towards the [[Frostweaver Rift]].

Once there he was greeted and assisted by [[Murim]] and the dwarves of [[Fastholme]]. The battle between the Frostweaver and the Shadow Warrior was long and dreadful but at last Cenwen's song was able to rid the dragon of the Fial Darg's spell and the world was once again saved.
[[File:Aryn2.jpg|center|thumb|Aryn at the final battle]]
===Rune Wars===
====Deception====
[[File:CityOfSouls.jpg|left|thumb|The City of Souls|200px]]
Five years after the [[Aryn Crisis]] , The warrior approached the [[Hokan Ashir|Masked One]] to produce a cure for the unbearable pain that the [[Shadowblade]] was causing him. The magician decided to blackmail the rune warrior into doing his bidding by offering him healing potions which supposedly could cure him.
The masked one brought the warrior to the mysterious [[City of Souls]] and ordered him to slay a [[Fial Darg (SOTP)|Fial Darg]] that was guarding a certain grave and bring him the urn that was kept in that grave. The warrior was reluctant at first but eventually did as he was told. When his benefactor received the urn he poured a strange potion onto it and the person that was revived was none other than the circle mage [[Raith Skaddar]]. The rune warrior was utterly horrified and disgusted at this revelation but the Masked One simply ignored him and ordered him to assassinate a [[Dryad of Xu|Dryad]] that resided in [[Empyria]]. The warrior violently protested but was ignored again and reminded of his critical condition.
====Revelation====
[[File:SWDarkwind.png|right|thumb|The Shadow Warrior is freed|200px]]
Since [[Arias Magnus]], the current god-emperor of [[Empyria]], was a servant of the Masked one the warrior had little trouble reaching the [[Dryad Cove|Dryad's Cove]]. He met the dryad and almost did the deed before she revealed the truth of the masked one's plan and his cruel trick on the rune warrior, There was no cure for his problem. The warrior furiously swore vengeance and set off to hunt down the magician but his betrayal was witnessed and reported by another resurrected circle mage [[Rohen Tahir]]. The warrior was defeated and imprisoned in the [[Darkwind Keep]] alongside [[Craig Un'Shallach]] at the hands of the masked one who revealed himself to be none than the king of death himself, [[Hokan Ashir]].
====Unity====
[[File:ShadowWarrior3.png|left|thumb|The Shadow Warrior unleashes the Phoenix|200px]]
Sometime later the warrior was freed by the [[Phoenix Bearer]] who explained Hokan's ultimate plan and the fact that they were part of a prophecy that foretold they were meant to destroy [[The Circle]] together. The warrior accepted to accompany her despite no longer caring about vengeance or whether they would even succeed in the end due to the extreme amount of pain that he felt because of the [[Shadowblade]].
They proceeded into the [[Gorge]] and after defeating all of the [[Blades]] and [[Sha]] forces that were stationed there entered the [[Bone Temple of Zarach]] to destroy [[The Circle]] and stop [[Belial]] from being summoned by his chosen.
In the bone temple with a bit of help from the "locals" they completely annihilated Hokan's forces and freed [[Ereon]] ([[Daruis]] in the language of the Shapers) who in gratitude gave them some guidance on how to defeat [[Belial]]. The following battle was extremely challenging but the heroes emerged triumphant and slayed [[Belial]] along with the revived circle mages, there remained only one more person to die.
The infuriated Hokan tried to summon the [[Arch-Fire]] but The [[Phoenix bearer]] held out the phoenix stone while the Warrior broke the celestial creature that was contained within free with his [[Shadowblade]]. The freed [[Phoenix]] easily destroyed the mad mage.
====Metamorphosis====
The circle's madness finally came to an end, [[Ereon]] and the [[Dryad of Xu|Dryad]] were forgiven by the [[Gods|Guardians]]. [[Ereon]] returned to his brethren and his former lover began to fully heal [[Xu]] and return it to its former glory, her work was made easier with [[Alyah Arias]] succeeding her evil father. The rune warriors bid each other farewell and parted ways. All was well in [[Eo]] except for the tortured warrior who turned into a [[Shadow]] not long thereafter. The Shadow Warrior was welcomed by his new people and was even granted a high position by their leader [[The First Shadow]] but the reasons as to why are unknown.
===Shadow Wars===
====Secret Ally====
During the initial phases of [[Shadow Wars|The Shadow Wars]] [[Shadows|the Shadows]] fought for the [[Kingdom of Lar]] and even managed to slay the rebel dracon [[Craig Un'shallach]] for their leaders, [[Sorvina]] the alchemist and high archon [[Toth Lar]], but eventually grew tired of following their orders. The Shadow Warrior, presumably under the orders of the [[First Shadow]], searched for a solution and found it in the form of a [[Shaikan]] known as [[Soul Carrier|The Soul Carrier]] who alongside [[Nightsong]], [[Craig Un'shallach|Craig's]] daughter and leader of the Norcaine rebels, was on a campaign to stop [[Sorvina]].
====The Deal====
The Shadow Warrior secretly followed the shaikan for a long time and even attended [[Craig Un'shallach|Craig's]] funeral but it was only after [[Soul Carrier]] had created a [[Shadow Ring]] in [[Fireforge]] that he revealed himself to him. The warrior explained that the shadows were obeying [[Sorvina]] because she was in the possession of [[The Black Mirror]], an otherworldly artifact that was the origin and source of the shadows' power, and if the carrier could obtain it for them they would abandon her during the storm on [[Dragh'Lur]]. The warrior awaited the shaikan's answer to his offer under a black tree at the [[Gate of Swords]] and as expected the [[Soul Carrier]] agreed to his deal. Then the warrior explained that the mirror was located in [[The Crater]] of the [[Black Star]] and this location inaccessible to [[Shadows]] due to a certain spell that [[Gods|the Guardian]] [[Hirin]] had put on it and thus the warrior advised the shaikan to seek the [[Free Traders]] for help.
====Payment====
The [[Soul Carrier]] had to go to great lengths in order to collect the Black Mirror but succeeded nonetheless and after taking the Shadow Warrior's pledge received a shadow crystal that could be used to contact the warrior. The shadows were true to their word but at the exact moment that the battle of [[Dragh'Lur]] had come to an end and [[Toth Lar]] was slain the [[First Shadow]] and his retinue appeared to demand the mirror despite the Shadow Warrior protests that it was not the right time. This act made the [[Soul Carrier]] lose the support of [[The Clans]] and [[Nightsong|Nightsong's]] trust.
====The Hunt====
Sometime later when the [[Soul Carrier]] had freed himself from [[Shal]] and was hunting [[Janus Malacay]], who had taken control of [[Sorvina|Sorvina's]] body, together with [[Nightsong]] after regaining her trust in [[Crystal Wastes]] he called upon the Shadow Warrior for help who gladly granted it to them. Together they defeated all the forces of the clans that were stationed there and found Malacay's lab but to their surprise he was not there and in fact had used some sort of teleportation device to teleport himself to his secret lab at [[Steel Shore]]. After a while the party figured out how to activate the device but before using it the shadow warrior remarked that Malacay must have been a true genius in order to invent a personal teleportation device for himself to which [[Soul Carrier]] joked that [[The Circle]] would have gladly accepted him among their own.
====The Empress====
In [[Steel Shore]], as a last favor the Shadow Warrior gave command of some of his forces to the [[Soul Carrier]] before disappearing. After Malacay was defeated he appeared to comfort and encourage [[Nightsong]] to rule her people while offering his and the entirety of [[Shadows|Shadows']] help which she accepted.

'''''SpellForce: The Order of Dawn''''' is a video game developed by German game developers [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EA_Phenomic Phenomic] and released on 16 December 2003 in Europe and 11 February 2004 in North America. The game was noted for its combination of real-time strategy and role-playing. It was followed by two expansions: '''''[[SpellForce: Breath of Winter|SpellForce: The Breath of Winter]]''''' in 2004 and '''''[[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix]]''''' in 2005. The main game and the first expansion were later released as the'' '''''SpellForce Gold Edition'''''. ''The '''SpellForce Platinum Edition''' includes all three games. The story follows the heroic deeds of an immortal slave in the post-apocalyptic high fantasy world of [[Eo]].

== Setting ==
[[File:Convocation Front Page.png|left|thumb|Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely]]
Long ago an organization called [[The Circle]] was formed with the consent of all the governments ruling the world of Eo in order to police the use of magic. Over the centuries that followed [[The Circle]] brought a golden age of peace to the world, their efforts were made easier by the discovery of the [[Archfire]], an extremely powerful form of magic. However, this peace did not last as the thirteen leaders of the organization became aware of a prophecy that foretold the coming of a celestial body called [[the Dark Roamer]] on a specific day and a ritual called the [[Convocation]] that would grant its conductor infinite power. Shortly after the thirteen turned on each other out of greed and engaged in a devastating war, later called [[The Convocation War]], that ravaged the entire world. Notably, the Circle used [[Rune Warriors]] as commanders of their armies, these were individuals who, through Rune Magic, could not die or age, and were able to gather the experience of countless battles inside them, with the downside being that they were forced to adhere to any and all commands of the person who holds their rune. On the day of the Convocation instead of being granted power as the prophecy said the ritual awoke the [[primal elements]] that resided in the planet's core, these entities annihilated the circle and shattered the continents of the world. In the Eight years following the Convocation, [[Rohen Tahir]], the supposedly last survivor of [[The Circle]], began repairing the damage done to the world by creating a portal network and founding an organization called [[The Order of Dawn]]. The game begins as he summons one of his [[Phoenix Bearer|old rune warriors]] to help him in his endeavors.

== Gameplay ==
[[File:Spellforce1Battle.jpg|left|thumb|Command Armies]]
SpellForce is both a real-time strategy and role-playing video game played from the third-person perspective. In the game, players take on the role of an avatar that they create who explores a variety of maps, conducts quests and kills monsters, and earning experience to level up, improve skills, and unlock the ability to wield new equipment. Alongside their character, players can summon other Rune warriors who act like additional party members to help in the exploration of the game world and combat, as well as armies of military units - done through gathering resources, building structures, and then recruiting units that are unlocked as a result - to help with large-scale battles.
[[File:Spellforce1screenshot.jpg|thumb|The courage of one will seal the fate of the worlds!]]

The avatars can be assigned to one of three classes - fighter, archer or mage. By increasing certain skills, players can equip their character to use new types of weapons and spells for combat. However, death does not permanently end the game – if a player has activated a monument called a "bindstone" on a map, then their character will re-spawn at if should they die in battle. In battles, players have access to a system that allows them to activate combat skills and spells depending on what is selected - if an enemy is selected, players can dictate which characters attack it, and what skills/spells are used on it. Allies that join the character level up as well, but usually remain a few levels behind the lead character; in addition, they may only be recruited by acquiring a runestone they are bound to and equipping it, with the player able to switch to other allies when needed. The game's real-time strategy elements occur when the player must use armies to accomplish objectives. Commanding the armies of the six-controllable races – humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, trolls and dark elves – requires owning a rune for their base's workers, as well as controlling that race's monument on a map. Base construction and unit recruiting require gathering resources with worker units, as well as making upgrades to access new buildings and stronger units.

The game features an extensive campaign mode that covers a series of interlinked game maps, which become accessible as players make progress in the story. During the campaign, players can engage in two types of quests: Main Quests, which progress the story, provide access to new units and structures, provide new runes for use, and unlock new maps to explore; and Side Quests, which provide optional means of earning experience and other rewards.

=== Free Game Mode ===
[[File:FreeGameMode1M.webp|thumb|And the adventure continues]]
The players can also engage in Free Game mode - which allows players to freely do what they want without quests on any map - as well as compete in multiplayer battles with other players. Although the mode actually has a story and quests. The story follows a [[The Messenger|lone rune warrior]] as he unwittingly becomes part of a sinister plot.

The Shadow Warrior, is the main protagonist of [[SpellForce: The Breath of Winter]] and also a possible protagonist in [[SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix]]. He was a legendary [[Rune Warrior]] who averted the [[Aryn Crisis]] but in the process lost his humanity and turned into a [[shadows|Shadow]]. He also plays a major role in the second series where he aids [[Shaikan|The Shaikan]].
==Biography==
===Early Years===
[[File:LEGR.png|left|thumb|The warrior's former comrades: Lena and Grim|150px]]
The man who would be known as The Shadow Warrior was one of the rune warriors that fought in convocation wars. His recruitment was likely the same as the majority of his peers, a mercenary who was lured by the promises of gold and glory in service to [[The Circle]]. Although it is unknown under which one of the thirteen he served it is a fact that he served alongside [[Lena]], and [[Grim]]. Sometime during the war he was defeated and his rune was lost.
===The Aryn Crisis===
[[File:MonumentSW.png|right|thumb|The Shadow Warrior is Summoned|200px]]
In the distant past a white [[Dragons|dragon]] was born by the name of [[Aryn]] whose unique physiology proved a danger to the world of [[Eo]], This particular dragon was capable of decreasing the temperature of any environment that he resided, to the point of freezing, by his mere presence. Just as he was about to freeze the entire planet one of the five rulers of the elves, [[Cenwen|Queen Cenwen]], saw the pain and loneliness of the creature and offered to be his eternal companion on the condition he leave her people alone. The dragon not only agreed but also granted his powers to Cenwen's clan, who would become the first [[Ice Elves]]. For thousands of years, the duo would peacefully and happily await the end of time in Aryn's sealed cave in the mountains, until Aryn awakens due to his companion's absence and furiously breaks out of his cave to search for her.
====The Resistance====
[[File:Dunhan.jpg|left|thumb|Dunhan|150px]]
[[File:Reowys.jpg|right|thumb|Reowys|150px]]
Approximately two years after [[The Battle of Fiara]], [[Grim]] and [[Lena]] went to a rune monument in [[Mirraw Thur]] in order to summon him. They required his abilities in order to help [[The Resistance]], a group of freed slaves that fought against the slavers of [[Urgath]]. Grim was hesitant on giving the warrior his rune back, believing he would be more useful in this manner but Lena insisted on it. Afterwards they ventured to the resistance camp and explained the situation to the warrior, the Ice elves had allegedly rescued [[Cenwyn|Cenwyn]] from [[Aryn|Aryn]] unware of the fact that this would lead to Eo's destruction. In order to free the elven queen from [[Winterguard|the Winterguard]] base the resistance required the prowess of their old leaders [[Dunhan]] and [[Reowys]], who were [[Rune Warriors]]. Fortunately the Shadow Warrior was able to recover their runes with help from his comrades and a mysterious mage called [[Hokan Ashir|the Masked One]]. Afterwards Grim announced the attack and the unprepared elves were slaughtered.
====Crimson Empire====
[[File:FialDargFreed.jpg|left|thumb|The prince is freed by the traitor|200px]]
[[File:DraconArach1.jpg|right|thumb|The dracon in pursuit|200px]]
After annihilating the ice elves the trio headed to the prison but instead of a queen they found a prince, one of the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Dargs]] that was trapped in ice. Grim freed the creature and revealed himself to be devotee of the [[Gods|Renegades]], it was also revealed that [[Cenwen]] was in fact in the custody of the [[Crimson Empire]] at [[Shal'Dun]]. After this revelation the Fial Darg and Grim left [[Mirraw Thur]] while sending a battalion of Crimson empire soldiers to destroy the resistance. Shorty after [[Elune]], Lena's former mentor and a priestess of the ice elves, appeared in the prison and demanded explanation. Lena explained the whole matter and pleaded to her to save the resistance before casting judgement on her, which Elune reluctantly agreed, beginning the perilous journey to [[Tirganach]], home city of the ice elves. The Shadow Warrior did everything in his power to escort the refugees and in the end succeed despite the attempts of the vicious [[Dracon Arach]] who was on their pursuit.
====Ancient Knowledge====
[[File:Windjalf.jpg|left|thumb|The elder is returned to his people|200px]]
[[File:DarkWall.jpg|right|thumb|The Darkwall|200px]]
Once the refugees safely arrived at their destination [[Aedale|High Priestess Aedale]] explained the whole truth to the shadow warrior and [[Lena]], [[Cenwen]] was indeed abducted by the Crimson empire and their [[Fial Darg]] patron who intended to use her blood in order to perform a ritual that would release [[Zarach]] and [[Nor]]. Before they could proceed to [[Shal'Dun]] however the Shadow warrior was sent by [[Elune]] to the lands of the [[Dwarves|dwarves]] to acquire the [[Firebane]], an ancient and powerfull spell that was capable of destroying the defensive towers of the crimson empire located at [[The Nevershade Frontier]]. First he arrived at the [[Winterdeep]] and put an end to the undead curse that was plaguing the island. Then he arrived at [[Fastholme]] and was greeted by King [[Ragnar Undalfskjar]] and his advisor [[Murim]]. They revealed that the city was under siege by undead hordes under the command of the undead giant [[Gorg]], who had kidnapped the elder [[Windjalf]] in the hopes of receiving the [[Firebane]] himself. The Shadow Warrior offered his help and was thus given command of the dwarven army and access to the rune monument in the city. He managed to defeat the undead army, slay [[Gorg]] and free [[Windjalf]]. Windjalf was reluctant but gave up the firebane. The Shadow Warrior then returned to [[Tirganach]] and reported his success to [[Elune]]. Afterwards the warrior and [[Lena]] traveled to [[The Nevershade Frontier]]. The Crimson empire and their [[Troll]] allies stood to chance against the rune warrior and his dwarven allies, who were led by a destroyer called [[Borondir]]. The warrior even managed to destroy the infamous [[Darkwall]] before venturing to [[Shal'Dun]].
====Unlikely Allies====
[[File:CraigBOW.jpg|left|thumb|The Dracon Craig Un'Shallach wisely decides to aid the Shadow Warrior|200px]]
At the outskirts of the city The warrior met with [[Craig Un'shalach]] and his rebel Dracon caste, fortunately the meeting ended with them forming an alliance. After much planning and preparation The warrior and his allies invaded [[Shal'Dun]] and were able to conquer it, at the climax of the bloody battle [[Lena]] got her revenge against [[Grim]] and froze the traitor to death. After the battle Craig approached the warrior and told him that eventually they would have to deal with the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] and the only weapon capable of doing so was a sword called [[Shadowblade]] which was kept in [[Firefangs]].
====Esoteric Weapon====
[[File:Fireangel.jpg|right|thumb|The Fireangel holds vigil over the alien sword|250px]]
The Shadow Warrior arrived at the [[Firefangs]] but it was invaded by the [[Shadows]] and the [[Shadowblade]] itself was guarded by a [[Fire Angel]]. The Shadow Warrior posed as a servant of the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] and helped the fire angel in defeating and sealing the shadows, but despite this the fire angel refused to give up the sword and figured out the lie before dying at the rune warrior's hand. The Shadow Warrior was informed that whoever wielded the blade would lose their soul but that was a price he was willing to pay in order to save the world. Afterwards He and Lena returned to [[Shal'dun]] but where met with [[Archon Zhaal Tuor]] who lied to them, telling them that Craig had been executed. In actuality, Craig was captured on orders of the [[Hokan Ashir|Masked One]]. Unable to dwell on it for long, the Shadow Warrior and Lena continued their journey to [[The Abyss]], where [[Cenwen]] was being held.
====Price of Victory====
[[File:CenwenAbyss.jpg|left|thumb|Cenwen is found|200px]]
At [[The Abyss]] once again The rune warrior demonstrated his mastery of the art of war and completely butchered all of the forces of the Crimson empire. Inside the abyss they met and freed [[Cenwen]] but all of a sudden the [[Fial Darg|Fial Darg]] emerged and murdered [[Lena]]. The dark lord taunted the Shadow Warrior and engaged in a fierce battle with him but the warrior emerged victorious. [[Cenwen]] thanked the Shadow Warrior and told him to meet with her in [[Tirganach]] before teleporting away.
====Chilling Battle====
The rune warrior met with the elven queen in [[Tirganach]] and discussed how to stop [[Aryn]]. [[Cenwen]] told him that the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] had put a spell on the dragon which would leave him unable to recognize her. The only way to break the spell was to fight the Frostweaver until he was weakened enough for Cenwen's song to dispel the spell's effect. The rune warrior was a bit scared but he accepted nonetheless and headed towards the [[Frostweaver Rift]].

Once there he was greeted and assisted by [[Murim]] and the dwarves of [[Fastholme]]. The battle between the Frostweaver and the Shadow Warrior was long and dreadful but at last Cenwen's song was able to rid the dragon of the Fial Darg's spell and the world was once again saved.
[[File:Aryn2.jpg|center|thumb|Aryn at the final battle]]
===Rune Wars===
====Deception====
[[File:CityOfSouls.jpg|left|thumb|The City of Souls|200px]]
Five years after the [[Aryn Crisis]] , The warrior approached the [[Hokan Ashir|Masked One]] to produce a cure for the unbearable pain that the [[Shadowblade]] was causing him. The magician decided to blackmail the rune warrior into doing his bidding by offering him healing potions which supposedly could cure him.
The masked one brought the warrior to the mysterious [[City of Souls]] and ordered him to slay a [[Fial Darg (SOTP)|Fial Darg]] that was guarding a certain grave and bring him the urn that was kept in that grave. The warrior was reluctant at first but eventually did as he was told. When his benefactor received the urn he poured a strange potion onto it and the person that was revived was none other than the circle mage [[Raith Skaddar]]. The rune warrior was utterly horrified and disgusted at this revelation but the Masked One simply ignored him and ordered him to assassinate a [[Dryad of Xu|Dryad]] that resided in [[Empyria]]. The warrior violently protested but was ignored again and reminded of his critical condition.
====Revelation====
[[File:SWDarkwind.png|right|thumb|The Shadow Warrior is freed|200px]]
Since [[Arias Magnus]], the current god-emperor of [[Empyria]], was a servant of the Masked one the warrior had little trouble reaching the [[Dryad Cove|Dryad's Cove]]. He met the dryad and almost did the deed before she revealed the truth of the masked one's plan and his cruel trick on the rune warrior, There was no cure for his problem. The warrior furiously swore vengeance and set off to hunt down the magician but his betrayal was witnessed and reported by another resurrected circle mage [[Rohen Tahir]]. The warrior was defeated and imprisoned in the [[Darkwind Keep]] alongside [[Craig Un'Shallach]] at the hands of the masked one who revealed himself to be none than the king of death himself, [[Hokan Ashir]].
====Unity====
[[File:ShadowWarrior3.png|left|thumb|The Shadow Warrior unleashes the Phoenix|200px]]
Sometime later the warrior was freed by the [[Phoenix Bearer]] who explained Hokan's ultimate plan and the fact that they were part of a prophecy that foretold they were meant to destroy [[The Circle]] together. The warrior accepted to accompany her despite no longer caring about vengeance or whether they would even succeed in the end due to the extreme amount of pain that he felt because of the [[Shadowblade]].
They proceeded into the [[Gorge]] and after defeating all of the [[Blades]] and [[Sha]] forces that were stationed there entered the [[Bone Temple of Zarach]] to destroy [[The Circle]] and stop [[Belial]] from being summoned by his chosen.
In the bone temple with a bit of help from the "locals" they completely annihilated Hokan's forces and freed [[Ereon]] ([[Daruis]] in the language of the Shapers) who in gratitude gave them some guidance on how to defeat [[Belial]]. The following battle was extremely challenging but the heroes emerged triumphant and slayed [[Belial]] along with the revived circle mages, there remained only one more person to die.
The infuriated Hokan tried to summon the [[Arch-Fire]] but The [[Phoenix bearer]] held out the phoenix stone while the Warrior broke the celestial creature that was contained within free with his [[Shadowblade]]. The freed [[Phoenix]] easily destroyed the mad mage.
====Metamorphosis====
The circle's madness finally came to an end, [[Ereon]] and the [[Dryad of Xu|Dryad]] were forgiven by the [[Gods|Guardians]]. [[Ereon]] returned to his brethren and his former lover began to fully heal [[Xu]] and return it to its former glory, her work was made easier with [[Alyah Arias]] succeeding her evil father. The rune warriors bid each other farewell and parted ways. All was well in [[Eo]] except for the tortured warrior who turned into a [[Shadow]] not long thereafter.

[[File:CraigBOW.jpg|left|thumb|The Dracon Craig Un'Shallach wisely decides to aid the Shadow Warrior|200px]]
At the outskirts of the city The warrior met with [[Craig Un'shalach]] and his rebel Dracon caste, fortunately the meeting ended with them forming an alliance. After much planning and preparation The warrior and his allies invaded [[Shal'Dun]] and were able to conquer it, at the climax of the bloody battle [[Lena]] got her revenge against [[Grim]] and froze the traitor to death. After the battle Craig approached the warrior and told him that eventually they would have to deal with the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] and the only weapon capable of doing so was a sword called [[Shadowblade]] which was kept in [[Firefangs]].
====Esoteric Weapon====
[[File:Fireangel.jpg|right|thumb|The Fireangel holds vigil over the alien sword|250px]]
The Shadow Warrior arrived at the [[Firefangs]] but it was invaded by the [[Shadows]] and the [[Shadowblade]] itself was guarded by a [[Fire Angel]]. The Shadow Warrior posed as a servant of the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] and helped the fire angel in defeating and sealing the shadows, but despite this the fire angel refused to give up the sword and figured out the lie before dying at the rune warrior's hand. The Shadow Warrior was informed that whoever wielded the blade would lose their soul but that was a price he was willing to pay in order to save the world. Afterwards He and Lena returned to [[Shal'dun]] but where met with [[Archon Zhaal Tuor]] who lied to them, telling them that Craig had been executed. In actuality, Craig was captured on orders of the [[Hokan Ashir|Masked One]]. Unable to dwell on it for long, the Shadow Warrior and Lena continued their journey to [[The Abyss]], where [[Cenwen]] was being held.
====Price of Victory====
[[File:CenwenAbyss.jpg|left|thumb|Cenwen is found|200px]]
At [[The Abyss]] once again The rune warrior demonstrated his mastery of the art of war and completely butchered all of the forces of the Crimson empire. Inside the abyss they met and freed [[Cenwen]] but all of a sudden the [[Fial Darg|Fial Darg]] emerged and murdered [[Lena]]. The dark lord taunted the Shadow Warrior and engaged in a fierce battle with him but the warrior emerged victorious. [[Cenwen]] thanked the Shadow Warrior and told him to meet with her in [[Tirganach]] before teleporting away.
====Chilling Battle====
The rune warrior met with the elven queen in [[Tirganach]] and discussed how to stop [[Aryn]]. [[Cenwen]] told him that the [[Fial Darg (BOW)|Fial Darg]] had put a spell on the dragon which would leave him unable to recognize her. The only way to break the spell was to fight the Frostweaver until he was weakened enough for Cenwen's song to dispel the spell's effect. The rune warrior was a bit scared but he accepted nonetheless and headed towards the [[Frostweaver Rift]].

Once there he was greeted and assisted by [[Murim]] and the dwarves of [[Fastholme]]. The battle between the Frostweaver and the Shadow Warrior was long and dreadful but at last Cenwen's song was able to rid the dragon of the Fial Darg's spell and the world was once again saved.

===Rune Wars===
====Deception====
[[File:CityOfSouls.jpg|left|thumb|The City of Souls|200px]]
Five years after the [[Aryn Crisis]] , The warrior approached the [[Hokan Ashir|Masked One]] to produce a cure for the unbearable pain that the [[Shadowblade]] was causing him. The magician decided to blackmail the rune warrior into doing his bidding by offering him healing potions which supposedly could cure him.
The masked one brought the warrior to the mysterious [[City of Souls]] and ordered him to slay a [[Fial Darg (SOTP)|Fial Darg]] that was guarding a certain grave and bring him the urn that was kept in that grave. The warrior was reluctant at first but eventually did as he was told. When his benefactor received the urn he poured a strange potion onto it and the person that was revived was none other than the circle mage [[Raith Skaddar]]. The rune warrior was utterly horrified and disgusted at this revelation but the Masked One simply ignored him and ordered him to assassinate a [[Dryad of Xu|Dryad]] that resided in [[Empyria]]. The warrior violently protested but was ignored again and reminded of his critical condition.
====Revelation====
[[File:SWDarkwind.png|right|thumb|The Shadow Warrior is freed|200px]]
Since [[Arias Magnus]], the current god-emperor of [[Empyria]], was a servant of the Masked one the warrior had little trouble reaching the [[Dryad Cove|Dryad's Cove]]. He met the dryad and almost did the deed before she revealed the truth of the masked one's plan and his cruel trick on the rune warrior, There was no cure for his problem. The warrior furiously swore vengeance and set off to hunt down the magician but his betrayal was witnessed and reported by another resurrected circle mage [[Rohen Tahir]]. The warrior was defeated and imprisoned in the [[Darkwind Keep]] alongside [[Craig Un'Shallach]] at the hands of the masked one who revealed himself to be none than the king of death himself, [[Hokan Ashir]].
====Unity====
[[File:ShadowWarrior3.png|left|thumb|The Shadow Warrior unleashes the Phoenix|200px]]
Sometime later the warrior was freed by the [[Phoenix Bearer]] who explained Hokan's ultimate plan and the fact that they were part of a prophecy that foretold they were meant to destroy [[The Circle]] together. The warrior accepted to accompany her despite no longer caring about vengeance or whether they would even succeed in the end due to the extreme amount of pain that he felt because of the [[Shadowblade]].
They proceeded into the [[Gorge]] and after defeating all of the [[Blades]] and [[Sha]] forces that were stationed there entered the [[Bone Temple of Zarach]] to destroy [[The Circle]] and stop [[Belial]] from being summoned by his chosen.
In the bone temple with a bit of help from the "locals" they completely annihilated Hokan's forces and freed [[Ereon]] ([[Daruis]] in the language of the Shapers) who in gratitude gave them some guidance on how to defeat [[Belial]]. The following battle was extremely challenging but the heroes emerged triumphant and slayed [[Belial]] along with the revived circle mages, there remained only one more person to die.
The infuriated Hokan tried to summon the [[Arch-Fire]] but The [[Phoenix bearer]] held out the phoenix stone while the Warrior broke the celestial creature that was contained within free with his [[Shadowblade]]. The freed [[Phoenix]] easily destroyed the mad mage.
====Metamorphosis====
The circle's madness finally came to an end, [[Ereon]] and the [[Dryad of Xu|Dryad]] were forgiven by the [[Gods|Guardians]]. [[Ereon]] returned to his brethren and his former lover began to fully heal [[Xu]] and return it to its former glory, her work was made easier with [[Alyah Arias]] succeeding her evil father. The rune warriors bid each other farewell and parted ways. All was well in [[Eo]] except for the tortured warrior who turned into a [[Shadow]] not long thereafter.
