Taking advantage of the elves' weakened state, the disciples of the Serpent Riders struck against the elves and killed the elders. In desperation, the Sidhe's elders extinguished these candles, destroying both the kings' armies and weakening the elves' own powers in the process. The Sidhe were in possession of seven candles, each tied to a natural power of the world as well as that of one king. However, the Sidhe elves are immune to the Serpent Riders' spells and had no allegiance to any of the seven kings the Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and launched a campaign of genocide against them. The kings, in turn, led their subjects in doing the Serpent Riders' bidding. Three brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, have used their immense magical powers to turn the seven kings of Parthoris into mindless puppets. 2 Shadow of the Serpent Riders - Expansion pack.A sequel, Heretic II, continuing the story, was created in 1998.

Some guitar soloing injects some life, before the finale (aside from the Epilogue) of Invictus goes crazy. Spiders takes a more methodical approach, the tempo slow and sounding very sleazy and gothic.
