i don't really care about the ip block, mainly since people use vpn anyways, but keep in mind that peer to peer is what we use to connect with the host if we join their party. the lag it could cause for players that play long distance from each other might turn them off.
Sometime after the battle of Cromm, the Player wake up in the inn of Malina. (however to others it's only been a short time after the Player left Colhen, because of the memory wipe.) The Player gets a letter from the mercenary guild Crimson Blade to assist the royal army in a war with the fomors. The veteran mercenary will be fighting as the vanguard for the royal army, which consists of Aodhan and Merrec. The player is still a "rookie" therefore will be placed as a guard of Rocheste Castle. The royal army and the veteran mercenary head out with the player staying back at the castle. A loud noise came from the docks, where the Player spots a giant blue sea monster wreaking havoc all around the area. The Player stops and imprisons him. He proceeds to question the Player if they remember something others do not. The royal army came back shouting how they incur no casualties, but something was wrong. The Player does not see Aodhan or Merrec, nor do people recognize their names. The Player heads to the place of battle to find bloodied gear of the two. (assumed dead)
There the Player finds Cichol telling you,
"...If you could relive your life, knowing that you would one day lose everything...Would you still make the same choices? Is that what we call "destiny? Don't you want to turn everything back to the way it was?"
Episode 1: Path of the Hero
The Player released Muir from imprisonment and hid him in Brynn's laboratory, hoping to find a solution to this confusing situation. Muir has lost most of his memory. He states that his lost memory is in Ben Chenner. The Player head towards Ben Chenner with Brynn. (Could this be the effect of repeating time? Since Tieve does not exist anymore he did not have to try to summon Morrighan, which was the cause of his own confinement in his laboratory.) In Ben Chenner you find Elves, a lost and forgotten race thought to disappear. Corruption surrounds the mountain along with the elves causing them to lose their mind and attack the player. The Player finds the Queen of Elves and helped Muir become human. There she tells them that the answer they seek is on top of the mountain.
Episode 2: A Mountain of Ash
Muir registered to be a mercenary in the Crimson Blade. It becomes apparent that only the Player and Muir remembers the people who have died and been forgotten. They found proof that Erinn descended in the world, however incomplete. Because of this, the Corruption became powerful enough to distort reality. Ben Chenner the mountain filled with rivers and trees is the same burning mountain spewing lava everywhere
Episode 3: Light and Shadow
A summoning ritual was discovered in the ruins. As it turns out, the summoning ritual was identical to that of Byrnn when he tried to summon the goddess, but failed and instead summoned our favorite four-armed raid boss Glas Ghaibhleann back in season 1. Whoever made this ritual summoned Lord Glas Ghaibhleann which the Player defeats. Upon defeating Glas, Byrnn's memories returned.
Episode 4: Crossroads to Ruin
The player learned from Seanna that Glas Ghaibhleann is Morrighan's guardian who also fought alongside Lugh Lamhfada. Lugh Lamhfada's original name was Dauna. He was picked by Fragarach as a sword to become a hero to fight against destiny and failed. Muir's true name is Mannanan; a sea deity who became human. He places Lugh and all the elves in an eternal sleep forever in Erinn only to be forgotten in time. The Player finds Cichol at the temple. A deal was made to Cichol, defeat Lugh Lamhfada, and obtain Fragarach to bring back the player's dead friend. After defeating Lugh and obtaining Fragarach, the dead have come back to life. The place where the player battle Lugh is the entryway to Lochlann the land of fomors. The royal army sent out a mission to cross the land of fomors. The Coffee Chaser wanted in on this and decided to have an alliance with the Crimson Blade for the upcoming war into Lochlann.
Season 3 chapter 2
Episode 1: Third Disciple
The Player enters the land of fomors only to find an infection ravaging around. It seems the corruption only affects the fomors and not humans. The Player fought and defeated infected Eochaid, but the ground collapse with the Player and Scenna falling together.
Episode 2: Blight of the Unseen
The Player and Scenna found a town called Berbhe which had some troubled folks and decided to help them. Killed a goblin wearing a stew pot on his head. Killed this giant human spider thing by ringing a bell. You later find out Eochaid the werewolf monster thing you killed was the town’s guardian and that all those people that look like humans are fomors that used the light shade to become human to slow the infection. Except for the fomor priest, he's human.
*Sort of side story but not really optional main story
Corruption of the Goddess:
You find out that the source of the contamination was caused by Neit, a giant crab, bug, cockroach, centipede looking monstrosity that is almost as easy as Titan and Neamhain, a metal winged dominatrix with a skin-tight suit that enjoys penetrating you with her spears(yes plural, also a fake/incomplete goddess that Keaghan/Chicol created) She believed that the arrival of Morrighan and Chicol would bring them freedom, but when they did arrive they asked the people "Why do you exist" The people understood that this was their fate. To be rescued and betrayed until the end of times. And so Neimhain created Neit to save the people. Neimhain views the plague as not an infection, but salvation to save us from paradise. Neimhain also believes that Chicol will save the people, unlike Morrighan.
As long as the "Sea of Redemption" exist, Neimhain is immortal
Interlude: Call of the Goddess
-Ceara’s side story
The story starts after the Player stumble upon Berbhe. From the perspective of the young female mercenary Ceara, a voice was heard calling Ceara’s name, but she brushed it off thinking it was just Merrec calling for her. A bell rang, indicating the mercenaries and coffer chaser to instruct the new recruits in combat. Ceara suddenly fainted during the combat training and once again heard a voice calling her name. The voice calls herself Morrighan who then asks Ceara to lend her power to the Player and the oracle Seanna. Ceara tried to find a way to travel to Berbhe, but she got the news that Colhen was under attack. Ceara stopped the Fomor’s attack and proceeds to help the town recover from the destruction. You head out to the sewers with Tristan and Ashen to search for the Main Character and Oracle, but found Brynn instead who told Ceara to turn back as it was too dangerous for her. Ceara decided to ask the pontiff Laurys for help. Laurys accepted her cry for help and gave Ceara some soldiers to aid her. The wife of commander Riordan; Nel chose to follow Ceara secretly because she was bored. As Ceara continue her journey the soldiers betrayed her and cut across her gut. On the ground in pain, Brynn and Muir came to save her. Ceara, Brynn, Muir, and Nel continue on with their journey to find Berbhe. Macha, the goddess of war and fury took control of Ceara’s body and killed Nel. Macha was the voice all along telling Ceara what to do. The Player finds Ceara’s unconscious body on the floor.
Episode 3: Day of Reckoning
The Player finds Ceara unconscious and takes her to the inn for her to rest. She warns the Player about the royal army coming to Berbhe. The Player and Culann decided to be the first of the townsfolk to greet the royal army to show that the people of Berbhe are all human and mean no harm. They are met with Riorden, the captain of the royal army and Ronaun, the lord of Rocheste who agrees to “protect” the townsfolks from fomors. The player encounters Enok, a magician of the Pontiff court. They help the royal army find a way to go back to the surface via the frozen path up north. After finding a way back to the surface you head back to town to rendezvous with the reinforcements. There you meet Muir and Brynn. Muir relay terrible news about the surface; the contamination had spread to both Colhen and Rocheste. There is a divide between the Pontiff court and the royal army. Gilliam and Enok wanted to use fomor controlling magic however a fomor controlling magic was reflected back since one was already in place. It is also stated that they wish to use human controlling magic. Gilliam convinces the lord to order the Player to kill the heretic priest. The Player killed the heretic priest that was using fomor controlling magic. It is discovered that Enok was the one who summons the lord Glas Ghaibhleann. Spinos gave a note to Rema to give to Riordan which states that the pontiff court is using the fomor controlling magic to hinder the royal army and they’re using the mercenary to retrieve an artifact called the remnant of the goddess and that it is their fault for the injuries inflicted on Nel. If in the form of a feather, the remnant of the goddess is able to summon Morrighan herself. Also, the remnant of the goddess is imbued with the power of Morrighan which is needed for human controlling magic. That can be said the same for the black feather that the player has which can summon Chicol if needed. Suspicious of your movement, Riordan secretly follows the Player. Just as the Player was about to retrieve the remnant of the goddess, Riordan steps in and takes it from the Player. By doing so he stopped the Pontiff’s Court from taking control of the remnant of the goddess.
Episode 4: Dogma
Meanwhile back in the town of Berbhe, Bishop Gilliam got killed by a mind-controlled royal army soldier. (feels good) Macha is the one who caused the royal army soldiers to go berserk. Some of the royal army soldiers that got mind-controlled started to attack the Pontiff's Court. Chaos ensued and both sides didn't understand what was going on. They both assumed that the opposing side is corrupt. The Royal Army's King Ronaun believed that the Pontiff's Court attacked them because they had found the remnant of the goddess and wished to take it from them. The Pontiff's Court believed that the Royal Army were heretics and so they decided to purge them of their sins.
Now back to the Player who in Donegal. The hero sword Fragarach summon a new Remnant of the Goddess. Brynn decides to use it to summon Morrighan., but instead of summoning Morrighan, the Player and Brynn were reversed summoned to an area where Aes Sidhe resides. You defeated Aes Sidhe, the Spear wielding, Sylas spinning, laser shooting, Braha summoning, Titan growing, gate walking, teleporting, ball hugging Badass. Who’s also the god’s gatekeeper. Also, Morrighan appeared before the Player after defeating Aes Sidhe, telling them that Destiny is absolute and cannot be changed. Also, Morrighan Blessed the Hero Sword. Also, Ceara is gone. Also, someone stole the other Remnant of the goddess and used it to mind control humans to attack the people. Also, Brynn is now sad that Tieve is truly no more. Poor Brynn.
Extra Episode: Arcana [WIP]
Let see here, The Remnant of the goddess is stolen and Riordan is mad. Ceara is missing, Merrec is mad. The Player tells him to calm down, Merrec is sad. Ceara was witness going north. Merrec is glad. Merrec rush towards the north and the player tries to catch up to him, ironclad. The player found Merrec on the floor near death. Merrec wants the player to find Ceara he said. But the player took him to to his bed. Lord Ronaun calls for an assembly at the town square. He tells the people that the reason the Pontiff's Court army attack the royal army is that the royal army found proof that the Goddess exists. The Pontiff's Court destroyed evidence of that. Brynn found a magic gem that can reverse the flow of magic. This gem was the reason why the player and Brynn were summoned to the area where Aes Sidhe resides. This gem came from the magician of the Pontiff's Court named Enok. The gem also holds a signature of Macha and Jardin. It is shown that Enok is working for Macha who is currently controlling Ceara. The player searches for clues of Jardin. Culann explains that Jardin is the name of a Volcano. The player reached a steampunk-like castle. They fight the mad spirit Arcana Nier style. The Macha controlled Ceara pops out from the fog to tell the player that she was the one who gifted them the hero sword fragment to summon Morrighan. Then she scurries off. The player finds Arcana's Spirit Erg. (now I need to do this battle 5 more times before completing this.)

You and the reluctant townspeople head north towards Aiden with the royal army to find a tower to summon the goddess Morrighan. At the same time, the Pontiff's Court in pursing the Royal Army to purge them of the sins they have committed. You find some secrets that tell of the existence of two worlds. The world of paradise and the world of Eweca ( +cry I'm having trouble making a good summary of this. Please help me)
*Redeemer Balor Side story
Having trouble making a summary of this, if someone can help me understand what happened that would be awesome cause all I really know is the dude is angry and wants to destroy the world we live in cause he was imprison on Eweca. The seal on Eweca is weakening since we haven't completed the seal on Elchulus.

The pontiff court caught up to the royal army and ambush them at night. You fight the inquisitor Clair and win as well as sparing her life. As the battle rages on, countless death befell both the royal army and the townspeople. Macklin, a homie died from a vicious poison which led you the Player feeling once again powerless. You alone walk along the blood trodding path towards the Central campsite of the Pontiff's Court. You summon Morrighan out in the open where everyone can see hoping you can end this grim battlefield. All bowed before her and asked her question, but was ignored entirely. Chicol and Macha also appeared to help teleport you to the glass tower where Elchulus is being imprisoned. You help the gods seal Elchulus into a container which is incomplete until Chicol and you reach Heide. Macha takes the container from you to cause the apocalypse. If Elchulus is not completely sealed, Eweca will appear and so will the gods that were sealed on Eweca. The gods are hungry for vengeance against the world of paradise that forced them into confinement. You try to stop Macha but failed to do so. And so, the war between gods will now begin.
Season 3 Epilogue
Episode 1: Where Paradise Lies
Claire wishing to ask the player who they are and what motivates them to do what they do travel to the glass tower only to find the player on the ground injured and Ceara unconscious. Claire carries them both down from the glass tower and encountered Brynn, Muir, and Merrec. Both sides ready to battle, but were stopped by the player. Claire wishing to know the truth ask the player what drives them to fights. The player and the crew told Claire what had transpired.
Seanna conveys what Nuadha told her to the group. That the human and fomor army must work together with another Hero to fight against Balor’s forces. They headed over to the Pontiff’s Court with Claire to convince the other soldiers to help them in their cause, but soon they will find their effort wasted as all that was there were countless dead bodies. The cause? The Pontiff Laurys felt betrayed by the people who followed him as they started to question the prophecy and question the integrity of the Pontiff. The people who used to follow the Pontiff started to look towards the Ronaun the lord of Rocheste for guidance. Laurys used the fomor controlling magic on Agares, a human hunter capable of destroying armies and killed Ronaun. Little did he know that he was about to face a Hero that is capable of defeating gods. Laurys fled when the player defeated Agares. Good news though, Agares survived and killed Laurys. WWE Agares went back to his grave and slumber for eternity. You were magnificent Agares…
Claire wishing to atone for what she did in the name of the Goddess and for the Pontiff’s Court decided to take responsibility by fighting alongside you, the player.
It ends with a scene with Milo and Iset meeting Macha. Macha tells Milo that with the Elchulus seal stone in her hand that she can revive Milo’s sister Allysse, but for a cost…
Episode 2: Brilliant Lugh
You and the crew head over to Berbhe to see if the townspeople went back home since you didn’t find them at the campsite. You find them finishing up the ceremony for Macklin’s grave. You tell them what is to come, but they didn’t receive it well. You encounter Lugh and Riordan in town. Riordan regrets his actions and decided to help you in your endeavor. Lugh explains the relationship between heroes and gods and why he didn’t die. People who don’t die are gods. Lugh being a former hero tells you that heroes and gods are one and the same. That in time, heroes can become gods. He battles you to showcase his power as Palala, the god of light, the original Paladin. The fight ends in a draw with both of you out of breath. The crew asks Lugh to join us in this war, but he refuses as he desires a different path than the one we tread. You head back to Berbhe to pack your things to leave to Rocheste. You promised to Gertrude that you would deliver a letter to Jornin’s sister Dianann to help Gertrude make the town known and open to humans.
Keaghan wants to find out what happened and go see Laurys. He says it was not his order. Keaghan goes back to the Magic Lab and finds Naveen the prophet (you find out his identity in Season 2 and how he suddenly appears out of nowhere). Naveen explains that the Church wants to kill him because he saw the truth. They were trying to summon Morrighan but failed (it’s likely it has something to do with the large mana explosion detected from Ainle and the portals to another dimension being opened and the eventual destruction of the town).
Here Keaghan is confused because as far as he knows, defeating the Fomors is the only way to summon Morrighan and according to his understanding, the Church’s actions don’t make sense. Keaghan begins to question his understanding of the prophecy. Naveen tells Keaghan to go see Shakarr to hear about the prophecy of the non-humans. He says Shakarr knows the true prophecy.
You defeat Shakarr and talk to him. He says that humans are not the only ones with a prophecy. The Fomor’s prophecy is to wipe out humans and the God of Fomors will return. He admits that there is uncertainty as to which prophecy is the real one but one thing he is certain is that when Erinn comes, Cichol, the God of Fomors will come (note how both Elchulus and Cichol are considered god of Fomors. It could be a flaw in the story or maybe Fomors have several gods). Shakarr believes that killing each other isn’t the way to summon Erinn. When asked if the attempted kidnapping of Tieve has something to do with it, he doesn’t say anything. You and Keaghan leave. Black Hammer is not happy that Sharkarr let you go and confronts Shakarr about his view about the non-violent method. Black Hammer kills Shakarr.
Keaghan is back in the Magic lab. Naveen says it’s selfish to think that humans would be the only ones with a prophecy. Keaghan objects by saying Fomors don’t even have a god. Naveen corrects him that they have merely lost him and that their desire to have him back could result in a prophecy in itself (Here, it sort of implies that the prophecy about killing all humans is actually false and its fabrication is just a result of their deep desire).
Naveen says if the Church exists to deliver the goddess’ message but the goddess is actually summoned, what would be the point of the Church’s existence. Therefore, they actually do not want Erinn summoned and want to get rid of the oracle of prophecy. Nyle explains that most of the Silent Brotherhood were wiped out by the Church because their goal is to protect the oracle of prophecy until Erinn comes.
Naveen says “the ones with no god” (lizardmen) have already broken the seal to the door (to Albey). When Keaghan asks if they are the Fomors, he explains that the Fomors are the ones who lost their god but these are the ones who do not have a god (the origin of Lizardmen is explained in Season 2 storyline****). The seal had been already broken at the time when you found the seal stone in the sewers. However, Naveen says the door hasn’t been opened yet and that Keaghan must stop them. Keaghan says he has no intention of stopping them since they want to bring Erinn, which is what humans want and also stopping them would be helping the Church. He leaves but Naveen knows he’ll be back.
You and Keaghan go to the temple and find Tieve unconscious and her body is seen fading out. You and Keaghan go to the Inn and tell Keaghan that Tieve’s been falling asleep quite frequently for some time. Keaghan goes into a deep thought and you go to the magic lab.
Naveen tells you to go stop Verafim from perfecting the magic and summoning “the evil one”. He says they are trying to get to the place where time is stopped, where the master of time lives.
Verafim and Black Hammer are talking and Gilliam interjects. Black Hammer is confused. Verafim uses magic to gain control over Black Hammer.
You defeat Controlled Black Hammer and report back to Naveen. He says you are too late and they have perfected their Fomor controlling magic. Naveen explains the Guardian Spider at the bell tower in the prologue was a test of the controlling magic which failed but now it is perfected.
Gilliam tells Verafim that he will now have control over the Fomors without his help. The deal was for Verafim to use the power to prevent humans from summoning Erinn but Verafim betrays him and intends to destroy the Fomors by gaining control over Lionotus. Verafim, lets Gilliam go since his goal is to wipe out the Fomors and not humans. He wants to replace the Fomors with his own kind and take Cichol as their own god.
Naveen tells you that they have probably already summoned the “Evil One” and need to stop them. On your way out, Keaghan comes in and you leave for Albey.
Keaghan asks Naveen if he knew that Tieve was the oracle of Prophecy. He confirms it and explains that she is destined to go to Erinn and therefore her body is slowly fading away into Erinn. Keaghan asks how to stop it but Naveen says there is no way to stop destiny as a mere human. Keaghan says if he can’t stop Tieve from going to Erinn, he will bring it here (so that Tieve can stay).
You defeat Lionotus and foil Verafim’s plan. You come back to Naveen who says that the seal of the god (The dark power inside Verafim seen in ep. 10. The origin of the seal/power is explained in Season 2*****) escaped and that the ones who must not meet have met (Keaghan and Verafim). He says fate has begun to move on its track and that all this is destiny.
Keaghan goes to see Verafim. Verafim is surprised but he suddenly seems to realize something. He teaches Keaghan how to summon Erinn. When Keaghan asks why he is teaching him this, Verafim explains that he intended to bring Erinn and when the god of Fomors comes, wipe out the Fomors to take their god. He tells him that he realized something after seeing Keaghan. The rest of the dialogue is not revealed to the player. Verafim says they will meet again.
I'll make a shorter summary for this later
For now here is a TLDR: Keaghan is looking for da wae to save Tieve. He finds Shakarr and there he hears of another prophecy. A prophecy for the Fomors; Kill all humans and the Fomor god Chicol will descend. You and Keaghan meet with Verafim. He teaches Keaghan how to summon Erinn.
The Church has ordered the oracles to gather in Rocheste because apparently there have been signs that the Oracle of Prophecy will appear soon. Tieve has received no such sign. You end up saving the Pontiff from Lizardmen’s attack and you are named a Guardian. There is a report of a woman being taken into the sewers by scale-skinned men. You go investigate and find lizardmen and ratmen. Upon several travels back to the sewers, you find a destroyed seal stone which seemed to have been used as a seal for something. You also end up finding and saving Seanna from Verafim (Seanna’s identity and what Verafim was doing with her is revealed in Season 2 storyline*). Pontiff declares that Seanna is the Oracle of Prophecy who would lead to Erinn. You are knighted for your accomplishments. Seanna, however, doubts that she’s the one since she received no sign
Ep 8: Not Even if You Kill Us All
You hear that Ingkells and the Ortel castle have rebelled against the church.
There is a scene where Ingkells is telling the people of the castle that the prophecy is false and the Church is lying. He decides to die fighting so he and the people of the castle all drink the bloody shade thing and transform into monsters. The Church labels them Fomors. You defeat Ingkells. As he dies, he says the goddess will not come, “not even if you kill us all” and hands you a fragment of the catacomb which has the mark of the Church.
The fragment is shown to Keaghan and he goes to the Cathedral to find answers. When he asks Seanna about the prophecy, Laurys interrupts and simply recites the prophecy. Keaghan shows the Laurys the fragment but he says he doesn’t know what it is (he may actually not know what it is and could be the doing of Gilliam alone, as explained in Season 2 storyline**).
When shown to Jarlath, he says the fragment is from the catacomb in Ainle which is supposed to be sealed off. You reach the catacomb and defeat Glas. You notice the magic circle of the Church and note that it’s strange how they were keeping Glas like that. On your way out, Riordan waits outside and informs Keaghan that he is now labeled a traitor by the Church. Gwynn is killed by arrows aimed at Keaghan. Nyle appears and teleports you and Keaghan away to safety.
