The enemies can recapture the territories from the Blackguards. Gameplay will focus on turn-based battles once more – this time players have to conquer Cassia’s lands and defend them against intruders when the need arises. In many quests the group will travel through South Aventuria to fulfill Cassia's dream.īlackguards 2 will again be based on the RPG rulebook of The Dark Eye, but it will come with some revisions, optimizations, and simplifications. Together with Cassia the three remaining Blackguards will be the main characters of Blackguards 2. In the Blackguards she sees the fighters and the power she needs for her plans, even if they are a shadow of their former glory: Naurim became fat and lazy, but also more cunning Zurbaran lost his self-confidence and Takate seems to have lost his killer instinct. Cassia, main protagonist of Blackguards 2, is looking for them: Cassia’s only goal is to rule from the Shark Throne at all costs, even if it’s only for one day. Nevertheless, their fame for defeating the Nine Hordes seems to be everlasting – at least for the three survivors, as all others have found their end. He believes there are no challenges left after the defeat of the Nine Hordes. Takate, on the other hand, is back among the forest people and arranges his own gladiatorial games, letting humans fight for their destiny, just as he was forced to.

She shackled, mortified, and sold him for one symbolic copper piece at the slave market. Wizard Zurbaran was even less lucky: his mistress tracked down the former slave, who was unable to escape servitude. He used his popularity for shady businesses and excessive parties and got quite potbellied – not a very good condition for battles, and so he hung up his axe and ditched his old gang. Dwarf Naurim has retired with his fame as a successful gladiator and defeater of the Nine Hordes.
