The people of Eo are in uproar: The magical portals, the only links between the shattered islands of the world, are loosing their powers, threatening to collapse completely. As more and more islands are cut off, those low on natural resources face the fate of drought and famine for their inhabitants. Streams of refugees are on their way to the lush and prosperous islands with armies following in their wake as anarchy spreads and the Realms are endangered. As a soldier of the Shaikan you are forced to partake in the fight between nations that try to escape into fertile lands in panic. So far only a few portals have broken down completely but the rising threat is spreading fear amongst the people and the lands are in turmoil...

While desperately searching for the reasons behind the collapsing of the portals’ magic, you stumble upon traces of the missing Soulbearer (The Avatar from SpellForce 2). But that is just the first of your discoveries! On your dangerous journey through long forgotten continents you will explore the crumbling ruins of an ancient culture that once seemed to carry incredible power: The Shapers. Shrouded in legend, it was them who once brought all magic to the world and uncovered the secrets of the Allfire. Two of them survived the civil war, which had brought an end to their dominion, in an eternal ageless slumber of supposedly lost magic – but now one of them has awakened! His power and greed threaten Eo like no other enemy before…. Those who could face the power of the Shapers have long been extinct or banished... but there’s hints of the greatest of creatures on the face Eo surviving in self imposed exile, and thus hope for powerful allies: the Dragons!
