Story
Betrayed, invaded, defeated.... The Humans of the Empire suffered greatly in their fight against the Demons. They have now lost another kingdom in the war against the Demons and the inner conflicts are just about to start. Only a strong hand and leadership can lead them to victory against these odds.
Command the cruel General Gardon Bloodclaw and unite the estranged factions of the Empire by any means necessary. Withstand your enemies, both inside and outside, and face the horrifying Demons.
The question is... how far are you willing to go for absolute victory? Will you have to sacrifice your humanity in order to achieve victory? Only time will tell.
Campaign Series Info
The Legends of Arkain is a campaign series which takes place on the world Arkain.
The races of Arkain fight against the demon invaders, who try once again to enslave every being on Arkain. The Humans, the Orcs and the Undead will have to make a stand against them... or face complete annihilation or enslavement by the Demons.
This campaign series will consist of actually three different series. There will be a Human, an Orc and an Undead campaign series. They will all run in the same timeline but will present three different stories and outcomes. When they are all finished, it's completely up to you, who wins this conflict.
Those, who win the war, will write the history.

Features
- Three different storylines/campaign series
Take control of one of the three factions, the proud Humans of the Empire, the plundering and strong Orc Clans or the mysterious Undead Nexus and their endless army of the dead, and face the demonic invasion as well as other struggles that await you.
- New units
Command units, you already know, as well as completely new units with new upgrades and abilities.
- Decide the fate of Arkain
At some points of the campaigns, you'll have the opportunity to decide things, that affect the storyline, characters and sometimes even the chapters you play or how you have to play them. By doing or, well, not doing certain side quests, you can also affect the campaign.
- Three difficulties
You can play the campaign in either easy, normal or hard difficulty, just like in the original WC3 campaigns. It will impact on the AI difficulty and scripting as well as other minor changes.
In easy version, for example, the AI won't rebuilt lost buildings.
- Full Jass AI
In this campaign series, every single AI is written in Jass instead of being created with the AI editor. This makes the AI more intelligent.
- Universal hotkeys
All abilities, units and buildings use QWER hotkeys.
- Race Mechanics
Every available race has its own unique race mechanic to improve gameplay - and, in some cases, to add new ways influencing the story.
Characters
General Gardon Bloodclaw
General Gardon is the most ruthless and merciless general in the Empire. He is known for using every available weapon against his enemies without showing any pardon. His background is a mystery. He simply appeared out of nowhere and became general. He proved very fast, that he got that position for a good reason, destroying the enemies of the Empire with fast, merciless effectiveness. He is the commander of the Ironfist, an elite force of the Empire, which often carries out top secret missions for the Emperor himself. According to rumors, Gardon himself enjoys the favor of the Emperor - much to the frustration of many higher-ranking Imperials. Yet none would dare make a move against him, as in the past, such attempts ended in disaster.
The fact that Gardon was forced to retreat because the inner conflicts of the Imperials had weakened them too much, infuriated him a great deal and he longs for a chance to take revenge on the traitors.
Admiral Merlon Seabright
Both in the Imperial and Royal Fleets, Admiral Merlon Seabright is a living legend. It is said that he was the captain of the ship that killed the Terror of Feraldir, a gigantic, demonic sea monster that had terrorized ships for thousands of years. Merlon dislikes staying on the shore for longer than absolutely necessary, for the sea is his true home. He is said to have been a critic and even an enemy of Gardon Bloodclaw until the two of them were assigned to a special mission. After that mission, Merlon remained silent about Gardon and even proclaimed to assist Gardon whenever he was needed.
Today, he is Gardon's most loyal ally who is not part of the Ironfist.
Larine the Exile
Larine used to be the personal guard and a good friend of the elven queen. However, she began criticizing the fact that the Elves were hiding in their woods instead of fighting side-by-side with the Imperials and Dwarves. She blamed the Queen for the fact that the Elves were despised by many of the Humans who had been forced by their surperiors to defend them. She left the Elven Kingdom and was later exiled. She went to the court of King Dorten of Kerrel and started working for him, gaining his respect. Trained in both archery and nature magic, she is ready to fulfill her surperior's every command.
Lady Cora Redfist
Following her father's wishes reluctantly, Cora joined the Imperial Army instead of continuing her studies in the Imperial Academy. Having proven herself as a valuable asset of the army, she was given the offer of joining the Imperial Navy. She had always loved the sea and knowing that the Imperial Navy would enable her to progress further in her studies of water magic, Cora accepted the offer and became a member of the navy, later serving as the liaison officer between the Imperial Navy and the Golden Guard.
Over time, she developed a certain dislike for Renald van Durce, the general of the Golden Guard, considering him arrogant beyond measure.
Lord Brian the Fallen
Long ago, before the Empire had set sail over the sea, Lord Brian was a high-ranking member of the Emperor's court. People were afraid of the lord in dark armor who was said to study the forbidden dark arts of Shadow Magic. One day, he and his family disappeared without any trace of their whereabouts. Since he didn't return after many years, people started to believe he had died. However, in truth, he had discovered ancient secrets and power. Whatever happened to him, it made him immortal and gave him unknown power and knowledge. It remains a mystery what he has done over the past centuries.
High Lord Inquisitor Renald van Durce
Being one of seven younger brothers of the former emperor and therefore one of the uncles of the current Emperor, Renald could have lived a peaceful life of luxury in the Imperial palace. However, he loathed his other brethren for letting the luxury make them become lazy and corrupt. Becoming a great warrior-priest and leader, he himself led the final assault that removed all Demons from the continent of the Empire. Renald had always been arrogant, but his success made it even worse. However, his loyalty towards the Emperor is almost limitless and only the Emperor himself can command van Durce. Whenever he and his Golden Guard are sent on a mission, the Emperor sends his finest, most loyal and most arrogant soldiers.
His full title is:
High Lord of the Imperial Court, Lord Inquisitor of the Order of the Righteous, Lord Consultant of the Emperor, General of the Golden Guard.

@DD Mikasa your reply gave me a great idea,not that im gonna do it but still.We need to make an Arkain jokebook,just like Minecraft has one.You can fill in with 1000+ jokes about Aedale's father alone.And maybe another 2000+ about Gardon's love and maybe we can add even another 3000+ jokes about Aedale's father and even another 5000+jokes about Gardon's love again.What can go wrong?
And seriously that special treatment he gives can be disturbing if you think about it.What can it be?

No,he hasn't and judging from the WIPs he's posted i think he has a lot left to do.
Also Shar you may wanna fix the hydromancer's haste tooltip,because it says lasts for 0 seconds.

Righteous Fury applies to them as well.
It is already researched in both chapters that give you access to Elites.
You can see this easily by looking at their health, without upgrade it is 950.

Everybody does. But remember words of one wise man. Dont be sad its gone (or in our case, not yet here), be happy it happened (in our case that it will come).

Maybe if the coming chapters weren't so story intense and didn't end in us wanting to see what happens next we could wait longer!I get sad when i need to wait for another chapter
And the thing @Boriss just said is true,but it sound a bit pessimistic,not that the campaign will be canceled again,but a story ending in a cliffhanger is never good.

People are optimistic when they cant handle the reality of world around them. Men like Gardon dont need optimism, steel is good enough for them!

Who needs optimism when you have an ability like war aura as you're ult!Because as a wise wan said "you don't want a pissed off Gardon charging you with knights,golems and other heavy units while he has war aura"
It really sounds scary and i don't want to imagine it!

Tooltip for Gardon's vampire ability has the same values for first and third level.
Second level: When attacking the middle and western gate clusters, all the stationed demons attack. Is that supposed to happen?
During the True Colors cinematic, the Inquisitor's last line stays onscreen for too long. Unless he really likes repeating "Of course not".
Man, Redfist Sr. has issues.
Third level: selecting an Ark causes the screen to light up as if it were daytime.

Before I am go on vacation, have an update that adresses some reported issues and also adds some
other small things.
@cleavinghammer: First off, thanks for taking a look again.
Fixed the tooltip.
I think they are supposed to attack, but I will take a look at it later.
Fixed the last line.
About the ark thing:
It sadly also affects a unit called "Destructor" you will encounter later.
I have no idea yet what causes this lighting up-thing to happen.
I will continue testing it.

General:
- Reduced the mana cost of Heal from 80 to 55
- Reduced the duration of Heal from 18 to 15 (making the spell generate hit points faster)
- Reduced the mana cost of Cursed Strike from 75 to 60
- Increased the damage of Cursed Strike from 80/130/180 to 90/140/200
- Fixed the tooltip of Dark Secrets
- Fixed the tooltip of Haste
- Spirit Legionnaires no longer have access to Curse, making them fulfil their role as frontline unit far better
Interlude One:
- Fixed the duration of van Durce's last sentence
Chapter Seven:
- Decreased gold in the starting goldmine from 80,000 to 50,000
- Added two Destructors guarding the teal elven base
- Reduced the mana cost of Heal from 80 to 55
- Reduced the duration of Heal from 18 to 15 (making the spell generate hit points faster)
- Reduced the mana cost of Cursed Strike from 75 to 60

Fourth level: ... Really? The man who brings necromancers into his army despite everyone saying it's a bad idea has issues with allying with the undead? We really need to see the meeting between post-demonified Aedale and Gardon.
* Executor and Elite have the same hotkey. And 7 food for a melee unit?
* There's a shade on the central trebuchet tower.
* Trebuchets can't attack buildings.
* Tooltip for Brian's first ability reads "Throws a psychical".
* Knight doesn't appear in the end cutscene. Also, what happened to Claire?

There is a difference between recruiting necromancers to your ranks and allying with a giant army of undeads free of your control and that has attacked you more than once.

She is fine.
You will see her again in chapter 6
Elites aren't going under 7 food sorry,Shar said he won't reduce the food cost and if you didn't know heroes in this campaign cost no food,so it isn't all bad.
Yep it's made to troll you and reveal your shadow stalkers,i don't think he will remove it.

^^ Still, I can't help but feel everyone who had objections to it in book 1 would have be having a point-and-laugh session if they were there.
^ On the level where you don't get a hero until more than halfway through. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't four of them taking up more than a quarter of the supply cap.

Elites taking half the food cap,i can't defend that,if the chapter had a slightly higher food cap which it should in my opinion it would be ok.And you have your own opinion about the story and i respect it,my only problem is that the orcs are so desperate they get murlocs for allies.And weedhunter tribe,is this a murloc tribe or some kind of a retarded name for a anti-drug organization?Not that i hate murlocs it just sound stupid!

The orcs are getting desperate since they lost most of their forces. But honestly I don't care about them. Them existing or not in Arkain doesn't change the plot.
The desperate times has increased the comsuption of weed on overall population. In order to increase the production, the humans have started destroying forests near lakes and rivers, making several murlocs homeless. In such dire time, many murlocs have gathered and formed an anti-drug group to stop the weed and regain their homes, the Weedhunter Tribe!

Well Largoth sadly was right the orcs may live throught this conflict,but it's unlikely and Aridon could have easily stopped them dead in they're tracks if he killed Zairmak,Rangul,Rath and Vanessa.Also #letsmakeUMTA(united murloc tribes of arkain)greatagain.

Yep. Even if the orcs manage to survive, they will be extremely weakened and will take generations to recover, time enough for the imperials to deal with them.
Sorry to say it, but murlocs are basically more of an annoyance than an actual danger. Their only advantage is numerical superiority, and that doesn't help against stronger, more disciplined and better equipped enemies. They can swim but that is not an advantage since most of the fights occur on land, plus the other races' navies can smash them easily.

Yes,i agree with everything you said.Also if what Shar said in a Q&A is true they will also ally with the gnolls and with ogres and with other neutal races now that would make the second orc book really interesting,to see how they exploit they're allies.And finally i really tried to defend the orcs,but after realising that they actually got half of they're race completely killed by the demons and then they actually thinking they can defeat them,man they may be simple minded,but they're confidence and optimism is on a whole new level,maybe they even beat the undead in this regard.Simply what im trying so say is the orcs have a chance of surviving yet alone winning as much as Aedale's father actually has a chance to say sorry.

I think Shar was joking when he said that would happen.
The orcs' confidence is clearly a mixture of simple-mindeness and arrogance. They have always underestimated the humans and paid for that several times but never learned.
Attack humans -» Darkmind Clan is nearly exterminated -» Decide to unite clans and attack humans -» Undeads kill most of their leaders and destroy their fleets -» Still hellbent on attacking the humans -» Attack the humans' defenses while demons starts slaughtering them
See the pattern? Their strategies only led to the deaths of nearly half of their own forces and they still kept going with the plan. This is like Napoleon trying to invade Russia during the winter and even after the russians left no supplies for them.

The orcs have fear and hate of the humans and every non-orc sort of.They're fear led to anger of the humans.They're anger led to them attacking every human.They're anger led them to hate of everything non-orc and they're blindness.They're hate lead to they're suffering and attemps of each race to completely destroy them.That is the most simple explanation of they're race.Now completely ignore how i used a star wars quote to explain they're race and move on.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to more anger and more hate... Until they are all dead and Aridon comes to raise them all.

I am not judging.
If Aridon is not dead, then Sapphira is aware of it. Remember that the undead are bound by him, so if he were to die, they would feel it or even die.

I still think it's all part of his plan.If you think about it Aridon is the Aizen of Arkain,expect you know Aridon's plans are really planned in advance,centuries to be exact and both guys alter them no matter how mistaken they may have been,but that was just an example i won't discuss this further .Also i have a feeling Saphira after Aridon's disappearence,because i don't believe he died may have realised or found out that although queen Renova sent her to her death it was Rahandir that actually killed her and after that she split from the undead.That's maybe why Rahandir now follows his own path and he may want to kill Saphira in the future.It's just a treory,but i like to believe it untill at least the next chapters aren't released.

Ok, but that doesn't explain Krom and most of the undead decided to follow her. What do they have to gain from killing the Elven Queen, besides some additional corpses? By the way, what happened to those Dark Elves (or whatever they are) we fought a few chapters ago, as they weren't in the siege?

She may have convinced Krom somehow to join her,he was loyal to Aridon and while Saphira doesn't share his balance of the world idea she too wants the demons defeated,Krom isn't a mindless brute or a sarcastic undead who has a large ego(like Rahandir and yes i am serious about this)He may have seen reason,but thats just speculation.What happened to those dark elves?Have you tried not destroying they're base in chapter 6 and then playing chapter 7 i may try it tomorrow.If they still aren't in chapter 7 after that well i don't know they just left?Sorry i can't think of anything better.Maybe they were sent on a more important mission i have no idea.

I didn't attack them on chapter 6 (by the way how can we? the undead base blocks one path and the elven base the other). Maybe they are on some other mission?

After you destroy a large part of the elven purple base(the one with lord Teran)you can just slip a large amount of your troops to attack the dark elves.Going throught Krom's base without arcane towers revealing for your terrors to attack is a very bad idea,since his entrance is guarded by a lot of troops.Watch YetAnotherYoutuber's video on chapter 6 to see how he did it.And yes i also believe they are on some mission we achieved victory even without them meaning they weren't needed in the battle.

Yeah but there is no need, since they are mostly focused on the elves and not on us, plus their defenses are considerable and attacking them would only waste troops and resources that could be spent on wiping out the true enemies. Destroying their base mostly just serves to see changes in the story.

As do a lot of side quests,it's your choice to do them or not,i destroyed them because well they were undead so untill i heard that we were all of a sudden becoming allies i thought of them as a threat that may later attack us after being finished with the elves.Just my opinion though.

The good news is that you may not have to wait for a very long time,Shar said a little while back that the second undead book is next in line after he has finished the second human book,if he hasn't changed his plans that is.
