It is liberated and becomes the Sword of Light when the hero comes and imbues it with the six magical runes.

This "evil blade" in the game title is in fact, the "Sword of Light" when it is possessed by the forces of darkness (as shown in the intro video). A new hero is needed, a chosen one who will wield the Sword, and destroy the Enemy forever. The Darkness has returned, and the end is near. Foul creatures are awakening from their dormancy and spreading terror and destruction. After that, they hid four magical gems, which unlock his tomb, where the sword is kept.īut all that was long ago. The Darkness was defeated, but the hero was mortally wounded, and his friends buried him with his Sword in the Temple of Ianna. He was chosen by Ianna to wield the Sacred Sword and fought the Evil in its own lair. The struggle continued for many years until a young hero emerged to defy the Darkness. But all of the gods' creations remained, leaving mankind to contend alone against the diabolical fiends. Thus began the cycle of Day and Night, and a new age of balance was born over the Earth. Ianna went to the Moon, to protect it during the night.

The Spirit of the Light went to the Sun and from there protected the Earth during the day. The Earth was in a moment of extreme danger, so one of the younger daughters, Ianna, cast a powerful spell that expelled the gods from their dwelling place and kept the Earth closed to them. However, the Prince of Darkness attempted to corrupt the souls of the fledgling race of man, amidst the confusion of a new war incited by dark creatures of his own creation. The younger gods, proud of the victory, completed the creations of their father, giving shape to the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. Gradually, the being was weakened and finally defeated, but after this, the Father was exhausted and withdrew into the depths of the Universe. The Lord and the Prince of Light tried to stop it, and they waged a great war. But the newborn would not accept the commands of the Prince of Darkness, and growing stronger, took part of his own essence and created terrible monsters and demons. He learned the secret language of Creation and tried to create a new being. But the Prince held the unspoken desire of supplanting his Father.

He gave to them life and thought, and so were born the Spirit of Light and the Prince of Darkness. The Lord created Chaos and divided it into two parts, the Light and the Darkness. The individual levels of the game bear a resemblance to diverse environments from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and South America under fictitious names or names with slightly changed spelling. The game was released in North America and Europe for Microsoft Windows in February 2001, receiving generally favorable reception. Severance: Blade of Darkness is an action-adventure game developed by Rebel Act Studios and published by Codemasters.
