SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix is the second expansion of SpellForce: The Order of Dawn which was released on November 12, 2004. The expansion features a more difficult campaign aimed for characters who are above level 25 - while players can choose to play as pre-defined avatars, they may also import those created for The Order of Dawn or Breath of Winter, but only if they are above the minimum level requirement for the expansion. In addition to this, the expansion also introduced two new types of units for the playable races, new maps for Freeplay and multiplayer modes, and allows players to choose whether to use the original PvP game rules, or those of Shadow of the Phoenix, though they may not engage players using the other set as a result. The story takes place after the events of the Order of Dawn and Breath of Winter and follows the heroes of the previous stories as they try to save their world once again.

Setting

"Now do you remember? Who you are? What you were meant to do? I cheated death, thanks to you. And thanks to you I've left my mark. You have too - you've written your own history. You're your own man. I'm B̶i̶g̶ B̶o̶s̶s̶ Belial, and you are too... No... He's the two of us. Together. Where we are today? We built it. This story - this "l̶e̶g̶e̶n̶d̶ God" - it's ours. We can change the world - and with it, the future. I am you, and you are me. Carry that with you, wherever you go. Thank you... my friend. From here on out, you're B̶i̶g̶ B̶o̶s̶s̶ Belial."
