320
  • Gandohar, in his second year of study at the Veneficus University, attempts reckless experiments with a mysterious element called Verita. One of his experiments went terribly wrong.

    • The Karga Clan seek an artifact, a statue of the Dwarves revered God Throglin, to help seal the deal of their tentative alliance with the Dwarves.[7]
    • Gandohar convinces The Hero to join him. He later betrays the Hero, locking him in the dungeons of Oswaroth.[8] While he states at the end of Two Worlds that it's for a better life for him and his sister, he writes in his prison diary that he did it because he thought Gandohar would allow him and Kyra to rule over Antaloor with him together.[9][10]
  • The Battle of Oswaroth begins.
    • When the world went up in flames and Antaloor was going through a very bad time, all eyes were on the stronghold of Oswaroth, where the booming drums and strident horns of the proud race of Orcs were heard for the last time during the battle in which they desperately faced their downfall. Since that terrible and bloody siege took place, no one has seen anything of the wild hordes - it was if they have vanished from history in the blink of an eye. During that long and fateful night, it was Gandohar who defeated the Orcs - Gandohar, the new Lord of Oswaroth… the new Emperor![8][11]

  • Gandohar uses Maliel's Thrones to transfer the life force from the Hero to Kira to sustain her body and keep Aziraal imprisoned.[8][14]

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. 1.0 1.1 When speaking to Dr. Lavarius at the university, the Hero mentions that it's been "about two decades".
  2. 2.0 2.1 This quest creates a pothole. The strategy guide mentions that the disaster that created The Swallows interrupted the game. This isn't possible due to the Swallows being created at least 20 - 30 years before, according to other canon sources.
