About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual
images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who
have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause
these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye
or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary
loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead
to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and
teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the
television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing
when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual contains
important health and safety information that you should read and understand before using
this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection
types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static
images presented during the normal course of gameplay may “burn in” to the screen, causing
a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not
being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game
on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can
be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual,
contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played
safely on your set.

Prologue
First War of Heroes—Xok’s Knights
Legend holds that when war threatens Bersia with destruction, seven
knights will appear to bring salvation.
The legend came true when the mysterious Khiliani, leader of the Dark
Legion, took the eastern Hexter of Bersia in his campaign to destroy
the world. Seven heroes rose up against Khiliani to rally for humanity
and defend Bersia.
The battle turned when a fallen hero, Rick Miner, was resurrected
through the immortal power of the Ancient Heart. Together with the
rest of Xok’s Knights, he defeated Khiliani at the Altar of Destruction.
This was the First War of Heroes, now known as “Xok’s Knights.”
Second War of Heroes
Rumors linger long after the end of the Second War of Heroes. What
transpired between Neeble and the Ancient Heart? Did all of the
war’s participants truly vanish?
Mists. Legends. Echoes of good and evil. No clear record of this
war remains. Nevertheless, the site of its final battle—the Altar of
Destruction—now is considered holy ground.
An Uncertain Time of Peace
Fifty years have passed since the Second War of Heroes. The
legendary artifact that caused the Great War, the Ancient Heart, is a
faint memory. The Altar of Destruction lies in ruins, and none who
lived through the final battle remain.
Children no longer listen to the battle songs of hope and death from
an old man who says he was there. The adventures of the Ancient
Heart and Neeble, the tales of Xok’s Knights—doesn’t anyone want
to hear their stories?
Were they just stories?
And so, a peace crept into this world as a long winter changes subtly
to spring. Why not? With the Dark Legion diminished, Humanity rose
in power.
No one believed the disaster of 50 years ago could ever happen
again. There was no sign of war, and East and West Bersia have
become allies.
But, to some, it seems like a sunny sky slowly filling with clouds,
peaceful and bright. Maybe you wonder whether the clouds might
hold a passing shower or even a rainstorm?
You also might feel, however, that the answer to a question you dare
not ask draws near. Will the Dark Legion rise again? History has a
tendency of repeating itself…
Your Mission
The Dark Legion has massacred a group of villagers living near a
former battleground, which since has become sacred land. The shortlived peace in the world is over, and the Humans and the Dark Legion
are now at war.
Choose which race you would like to play, and select one of several
character types within each race. From here on out, it’s all about
war. You start out with one infantry unit, but you can acquire more
forces or develop them into more specialized and powerful units. Take
center stage in epic battles—hear the cries of soldiers, and see the
chaos of the fight. Command elite cavalry and infantr y units of up to
1,000 soldiers.
After the battle, use the world map to designate where your troops
go next. While moving across the continent, you can visit castles, gain
endorsements from feudal lords, hire mercenaries, replenish your
troops, or change equipment.
The time has come to fight. Which side will you choose?

Characters
Human Alliance
Gerald
Hero
Main Skill: Melee
Main Weapon: One-Handed Sword
Six years ago, Gerald joined the
Hironeiden Army as a mere soldier.
Two years ago, showing exceptional
valor during the Hexter invasion, he
was promoted to Captain of the entire
Eastern Defense Force.
Clever and quick-witted, he confounds
his enemies with unconventional, yet
efficient, tactics.
Gerald excels at analyzing a situation
accurately and values skill over rank
or bloodline.
Kendal
Hero
Main Skill: Melee
Main Weapons:
A General of the Second Division
Ecclecian Holy Knights, Kendal was born
in Azilla, a tributary of Ecclesia. He now
defends the Holy Ground against the
Dark Legion.
As an Azillan, he must maintain strict
faith in God. He has issues with this
assignment of defending the Holy
Ground, but his honor prevents him
from objecting.
A champion for his cause, as well as a
precise tactician, Kendal can lead his
troops to greatness.
Spear and Hammer
Rupert
Officer
Main Skill: Melee
Main Weapon: Two-Handed War
Hammer
A close ally of Gerald, Rupert
has been through countless ups
and downs since they joined the
army together.
His huge body and enormous
power enable him to wield the
50-pound hammer while
assisting Gerald.
He puts on a rough exterior, but
his sarcasm and frequent jokes with Ellen mask the affection he really
feels for her.
Ellen
Officer
Main Skill: Melee
Main Weapons:
About two years ago, Ellen appeared from
nowhere to join Gerald’s army.
It might seem odd to find such a beautiful
woman among the rough and crude
soldiers of Hironeiden. But, be warned—
that pretty face holds a quick and
foul tongue.
Should you attempt to get too friendly
even after enduring the curses, insults,
and abuse, her quick and deadly sword will
make certain you mind your manners.

Duane
Officer, Knight
Main Skill: Melee

Duane is a knight from the honorable, but
fallen house of Ecclesia Colonok.

house’s name.
For this reason, Duane continuously works to
distinguish himself through extreme feats of
bravery and skill on the battlefield.
Morning Star
Dark Legion
Lucretia
Hero
Main Skill: Melee
Main Weapon:
Lucretia is a Dark Elf and a Captain in the
Vellond troop. Her mission is to investigate
why Regnier invaded the villages near
the Holy Ground, while simultaneously
providing aid to his troops.
A bit short-tempered and prone to
hysterical outbursts, Lucretia prefers quick
and effective assaults over long, drawnout battles.
Lucretia, who considers the Dark Elves the most prestigious race of
all, hates Morene because she is half-Vampire.
Rapier
Thomas
Officer
Main Skills: Melee, Magic
Main Weapon:
Thomas is Kendal’s friend. He is also the son of
Walter who asked Kendal to drag Thomas along
so he can learn the ways of battle.

Giant Sword
About two years ago, the
mysterious and brutal Lord
of Hexter, Regnier, appeared
from nowhere to aid Valdemar
in crushing the rebellions.
Compared to Humans, he
has monstrous strength. The
Orcs and Ogres who recognize
his terrible, overwhelming
power serve him with total and
absolute loyalty.
