Před 250 lety Ascalon hořel… V zoufalé snaze ochránit svoji zemi před hordami bestiálních charrů zažehl král Adelbern všemocný Ničivý oheň, aby nájezdníky odrazil. Magie ale dokáže být dvousečným mečem - Oheň sežehl jak charry, tak lidi. Zatímco mrtvoly charrů stále doutnaly, Ascaloňané povstali z mrtvých, zuřivost jejich krále je totiž proměnila v duchy pověřené ochranou říše… navždy. Z kdysi mocného království zůstal jen strašidelný stín jeho původní slávy. O staletí později potomci Ascaloňanů, kteří utekli do Kryty, čelí ze všech stran obležení. Aby zachránila lidstvo, pokouší se královna Jennah uzavřít s nenáviděnými charry mír. Zbývá překonat poslední překážku. Charrské legie nepodepíší smlouvu o příměří, dokud se jim z ruin padlého Ascalonu nevrátí nejcennější relikvie, Khan-urův spár. Do děsivé, válkou rozervané země se pro Spár vydává družina dobrodruhů, každého přitom sužují vlastní démoni. Pokud artefakt nezískají, zanikne i veškerá naděje na mír mezi lidmi a charry - nemrtvý král vládnoucí Ascalonu se ho však nemíní vzdát a ne všichni si přejí mír!
