Kerona

Hokan's Dream Game

ℹ The events of this game are not part of the canon story and timeline of the SpellForce universe.

The Guardian introduced as Kerona in Demons of the Past's campaign as the Guardian of Time, it's not canon.

In fact, it contradicts the lore of previous games as it's already mentioned on those that the Guardian of Time is Hirin.

Supposedly an unknown Guardian before even the time of the Shapers, Kerona, the so-called Guardian of Time was the one who wanted to sacrifice herself in order to contain Zazhut when the Guardians fought him the first time.

It's inferred that she and Ulm were lovers and due to being the one forced to imprison her, that could also be the trigger that caused his downfall and subsequent transformation into Zarach.

Zarach maintain his love for her for millennia during her imprisonment, so when his brother Ereon and the Elder came looking for his help to defeat Zazhut again, he jumped at the opportunity to free Kerona and see her again, even if that meant to possess an Orc and make him follow the Elder.

However, after she is freed from her prison in the Icewastes of Shalibar, when she appears at the Plains of Argan to help on the final fight against Zazhut, it's revealed that her plan was not to sacrifice herself but instead to devour Zazhut and Sariel to become the most powerful being on Eo, even more powerful than any of the other Guardians.

Something that Ereon had glimpsed when the Guardians fought Zazhut for the first time.

In order to save Zazhut, and not willing to go down without a fight, Sariel decides to sacrifice her life and kill Kerona in the process.

Quotes

What's to understand? You are trying to kill her!
...
Do not meddle with me, brother! It was your idea to imprison her! ⇢ Zarach

She wanted to take over. I couldn't let that happen. ⇢ Ereon

Her. Her name was Kerona, and she was as beautiful as Tiara and as wise as Ereon.
When we first fought Zazhut it became clear that he would not surrender, so she decided to sacrifice herself to end the battle.
We wouldn not let her. It would upset the balance and destroy Eo. So we put together all our knowledge and craftsmanship to create two great prisons.
...
I LOVED HER! I WAS THE ONE IMPRISONING HER! SO DO NOT TELL ME I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LOVE!! ⇢ Zarach

…Where...am I? When is this?
...
It... was... her. Companion... Zazhut... planned.
...
Even if I am part of the equation?
...
Yes, me. And I will take on both of you. ⇢ Kerona

You're still weak, Guardian of time. You could not devour me now, even if you wanted to. ⇢ Zahzut

You forget that I'm not alone either. Shaikan! For my sacrifice, I need you to weaken them, so that I could take out both at once. ⇢ Kerona

Sacrifice? What kind of game is this? ⇢ Sariel

She's manipulating them – don't you see? There's only one way to end this. ATTACK! ⇢ Zahzut

No, this can't be! Caine! Shaikan! Don't you see? ⇢ Sariel

No time for talk anymore. ⇢ Kerona

Zazhut, what did you mean by manipulation? ⇢ The Elder

This was her plan all along, Shaikan! Not to sacrifice herself, but to devour us - to become more powerful than any other being on Eo. More powerful than any of the Guardians ever were!
But I won't let this happen. I'm sorry, my love.
Your time is up, Guardian of time! ⇢ Sariel

No! Not that way! ⇢ Kerona

SHAIKAN! BRING HIM HERE! BRING HIM HERE, SO THAT I CAN KILL HIM AS HIS LOVE KILLED MINE! ⇢ Zarach
