A real-time tactical game from Bungie Studios, Myth: The Fallen Lords is set in a gothic fantasy realm where the nations of men are in danger of being eradicated. With limited numbers and dwindling odds, players must overcome the impossible to defeat Balor and the powerful Fallen Lords.

The game begins seventeen years after Balor crossed the Cloudspine, with the forces of Light losing the war badly. They are led by "The Nine", a group of avatara, chief amongst whom is Alric. The story is told through the journal entries of a soldier in "The Legion", an elite unit in the army. As the game begins, a berserk runs into the camp of The Nine, and gives them an urn. They extract a severed head, which opens its eyes.
