SpellForce III Reforced uniquely combines epic RPG stories with accessible real-time strategy elements to provide an exciting gaming experience for fans and newcomers alike. The year is 518 and the rebellion of the renegade mages, also known as the Mage Wars, has been crushed by the crown. However, this victory has come at a high price: Entire swaths of land have fallen into anarchy, refugees are wandering in search of a place to stay, and a mysterious, deadly plague called the Blood Blight is spreading ever faster. In times like these, people cling to the smallest spark of hope. Rondar Lacaine, the charismatic leader of the Purity of Light sect, claims that the mages are responsible for all this evil - and that only the return of Aonir, the father of all gods, can restore Eo to its former glory.
