What Etherlords II is

Etherlords II is an adventure game developed by Nival Interactive and released in 2003. It was published by DreamCatcher Games. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Ether is everywhere, it knows no boundaries. All life emerges from Ether and returns to it after death. It is the flow of Life and Death itself. You fought for dominance over this precious and powerful resource and claimed it for your own. A new threat emerges from the mists of Chaos, threatening the very fabric of existence. Heroes must be called from every corner of the land, armies trained,creatures summoned, and spells prepared. The war for Ether is rekindled and it’s up to you to win the battle, not just for yourself but for existence itself.
