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.
Bow

Duane
Officer, Knight
Main Skill: Melee Main Weapon:
Duane is a knight from the honorable, but fallen house of Ecclesia Colonok.

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.
Flail
Regnier
Hero
Main Skill: Melee Main Weapons: Two-Handed
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.
