Enough talk! Gold and glory await!

No heroes are more driven by a lust for adventure and a savage determination to win fame, fortune, and glory than the Berserkers. They wander the wild places of the world in search of formidable foes, fabulous treasures, and the sheer joy of a worthy challenge.

Possessed of an animalistic cunning and an unbridled fury, a Berserker is an untamed and unpredictable beast who is a blessing when set upon one's enemies—and a curse when turned against you.

Overview

Years ago, the Heroes of Torchlight saved the world from the ancient evil, Ordrak. Now someone has stolen the essence of his power, and is using it to upset the balance of the six elements. After witnessing the destruction wrought by this terrible artifact, you'll begin a quest to uncover the villain's identity and avert disaster.

The trail leads from the beleaguered Estherian Steppes, through the war-torn Mana Wastes, and the haunted ruins of an ancient dwarven civilization, before descending to a realm where no mortal has set foot for thousands of years and where an even more terrible evil struggles to unleash itself onto the world.

Ezrohir

After the Zeraphi ended their conflict against the Estherians, a still war-hungry faction split off and pursued the retreating Estherians, seizing their Ember mines and harnessing its power to encase their souls in armor. But Ember always has a price, these Ezohir became reliant upon their depleting supply and went to war with their once brethren, the Zeraphi. Disaster ensued and the Ezohir were driven back to the Mana Wastes, where they wait and plot their vengeance.

Dwarves

Many ages ago, an ancient race of Dwarves ruled all of Vilderan with an Ember fist. But, the secret to their ascension was the source of their downfall. Rebellion ensued and their glorious cities crumbled. The Dwarven empire is long dead. All that remain are the husks of a once powerful race, clinging steadfast to their last remaining Ember mines and ruined cities, ready to defend them to death.

Sturmbeornen

The Beornen, a race of bear-men, dwell in the northern reaches of Vilderan. Their Sturmbeornen raiders have been known to pillage the Northern settlements for years. Recently, they have grown more aggressive and raided further south. Led by General Grell, the Sturmbeornen are closing in on the Estherian Enclave. Many fear that not even the mighty Vanquisher Corps can stop them.

Varkolyn

After dwarven civilization collapsed, their oldest enemies, the Varkolyn, crept from the shadows and remade the ruined keeps and palaces as the Kingdom of the Dark. But ultimately the First Great Varkolyn Empire was also the last. For all their pretense of civilization and glorious plans, infighting continues to prevent the Varkolyn from achieving their grand plan.

The Beast Warrens

This Warbeasts lair lies in the Temple Steppes at the foot of the Estherian Enclave. The invading Sturmbeornen army have set up a trapping operation around the Beast Warrens to capture and armor these savage predators, turning them into unstoppable killing machines.

The Stygian Aerie Approach

Centuries ago, the Zeraphi journeyed to the sacred Underworld to transcend into pure energy. When all the Zeraphi had been rendered immortal, they abandoned the Underworld to the shifting sands. Now, this ancient facility is the lair of various desert beasts—the most fearsome of which is the mighty Manticore.

Widowmaker Woods

The Dwarven ruins in Grunnheim have long attracted enterprising entrepreneurs seeking great fortune. One endeavor was an Imperial sawmill, eager to log the old forest. But their operation was plagued with accidents and unexplained disappearances, and loggers took to calling the forest “Widowmaker Woods.” The Empire lost contact with the sawmill years ago and no one has heard or seen the loggers since.

Cannons

The mighty cannon has been a fixture of Imperial military tactics for centuries, but only within recent years has it found new popularity as a handheld weapon. Cannons are particularly popular among Imperial Engineers, who often build their own, casting them into fearsome shapes.

Fist Weapons

Popular among the Beserkers’ Valgang tribes in the frozen north, fist weapons include everything from knuckle dusters and claws to trench knives and exotic katara. Valgang warriors carried these weapons on trading and raiding missions to the south, introducing them to the civilized world. They quickly became popular amongst thieves, but Berserkers are still their undisputed masters!

Great Weapons

Considered by some as the weapons of brutes and savages, true masters know the damage that two-handed “Great” weapons can inflict when wielded by a skilled warrior. Blacksmiths continue to forge Greateaxes and Greatswords for elite warriors, and Imperial Engineers hone their skills working daily with two-handed spanners and visions of greatness.
