Code:
In a Time before Camelot
Magic coursed through the veins of Albion and for generations the people learned to harness it, and as with all things in nature they understood there was a balance.

Uther Pen-dragon, the King of Briton, was heir-less and decided to use magic to conceive his son, Arthur; Uther did not understand the balance of magic, as one life was created another was taken away. It was the love of Uther's life and the mother of his son, Igraine.

King Uther blamed magic and set out to purge Albion of anyone devoted to what he decreed 'The Old Religion'. Some devout followers exiled themselves, few went into hiding; Most were slain as they stood against Uther in defiance, even those who proclaimed they meant no ill and would only ever use their magic for good...

A darkness now spreads across Albion, the crops are dying and the water is turning foul. The people are plagued with hunger and disease. Fewer by the day have the strength to fend off the Saxons who have been invading Albion from the East and slowly claiming land. It is feared they are now aided by dark magic, by those who were exiled by Uther's blood-lust -- masters of The Old Religion.

That actually doesn't look that bad.
Also reminds me of the Lands of Lore games.

Looks like Witchaven, minus the clay. Razz

EDIT: Well clay and clay, I forgot exactly how the creatures were made but I think they used that material and stop-motion.
(Game even had a sequel, pretty sure your weapons break just as fast in both of them forcing you to constantly find spares and obviously there's less of the stronger weapons, ha ha.)


EDIT: Though yeah I suppose Lands of Lore 2 and 3 might be similar as well, cinematic actors instead of 3D CGI models and such. (Or 2D sprites.) Along with games such as say Stonekeep.

Might and Magic 6 did use something similar too although MM7 and MM8 used CGI closer to the designs found in Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3 I think it was?
(The stories of Might and Magic 6 and 7 and Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3 are somewhat interconnected, at least until NWC destroyed it all heh.)
