About

The Settlers: Heritage of Kings - Expansion Disc is the first add-on for Heritage of Kings: The Settlers. After the defeat of Kerberos, the old empire flourishes under the rule of King Dario and finally the dream of peace and prosperity seems to come true. But far in the east of the old empire, on the shore of the river Nhern, a bridge is being build. A bridge to the legendary old lands of Hen Brughs. But as the impressive structure grows and grows, the fear of the workers also increases. They see strange, shadowy creatures roaming on the other side of the river. Watching every move the builders make and waiting for them to come. Always surrounded by a fog that seems unreal and very cold.
