| The Lord of the Isles has made a terrible misjudgement. Seeking to destroy the Northlanders utterly, instead he had given them a strange and evil power. The sceptre he had set his smiths to make had touched the Northlanders with its dark force. No longer were they mere men; now they were Lords of the Shadow, gripped by evil and ruled by the Dark Sceptre that had created them. The isles of the Western Sea would know no peace until the Dark Sceptre was destroyed and with it the evil of the Shadow Lords who drank of its power. | The Lord of the Isles has made a terrible misjudgement.

| # Your Task in Dark Sceptre | ===== Your Task in Dark Sceptre ===== |
| | |
| | You are in command of a company of warriors, seeking to find and destroy the Dark Sceptre. When you find it, beware, its dark powers may destroy you if you have not taken the proper precautions. What these precautions are, you'll have to find out. If you do manage to seize the Dark Sceptre, you will be told how to destroy it. Don't worry, it won't be too easy. If you do destroy it, you've won. |
| | |
| | To hinder you on your way, the computer controls other companies of warriors. Most of them are neutral towards you at the beginning of the game but the Shadow Lord's company (colour red) are always your sworn enemies. The other companies may become friends or enemies in accord with the events that occur during the game. Bear in mind too that you can recruit new members to your company and possibly lose warriors by desertion to other companies. |
| | |
| | It's quite possible to play Dark Sceptre with a group of friends, each of you taking control of one or more warriors in your company - but don't forget, either you will all win or you all lose; you're all on the same side. |
