Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of The Dragon God - Story

Story

Approximately one hundred years after the events of the first film, Damodar (Bruce Payne) has survived his defeat by Ridley Freeborn, having been cursed by his former master, Profion, to walk the earth as an undead entity. Driven insane by the pain of the curse, he seeks revenge against the kingdom of Izmir, and the descendants of those who defeated him.

After years of searching, he locates the Orb of Faluzure, an ancient artifact linked to the power of Faluzure, a dragon god imprisoned under Izmir's mountains. With the Orb's power, he heals himself of the curse, and prepares to awaken the dragon to destroy Izmir.

Lord Berek (Mark Dymond), a fighter and former captain of the king's guard, now a bored and unsatisfied lord of the King, and Melora (Clemency Burton-Hill), his wife, a "gifted" young mage, investigate reports of poison gas emanating from Izmir's caves and find the still-slumbering dragon. Researching the threat in Izmir's library, Melora excitedly reports to Oberon (Roy Marsden), the head of the Mages' Council, that Faluzure was imprisoned three thousand years ago by a powerful ancient civilization called the Turanians, who also created the Orb. While trying to locate the Orb through magic, Melora is inadvertently cursed by the much-more powerful Damodar, and begins dying slowly.

She hides her illness from Berek, who is appointed by the King to assemble a party of adventurers; small enough to infiltrate Damodar's lair undetected, but strong enough to face their enemies: Lux (Ellie Chidzey), a female barbarian, Dorian (Steven Elder), a male Cleric of Obad-Hai, Ormaline (Lucy Gaskell), a female elven wizard, and Nim (Tim Stern) a master thief.

The party sets out to locate Damodar's lair, while Oberon and the other mages try to decipher the tomes of Turanian magic in their library, to find a way to defeat the dragon.

While traveling through a haunted forest, Berek's party catches the attention of the powerful lich Klaxx the Maligned, who offers his services to Damodar. Damodar does not trust him, but is confident that the Orb makes him more powerful than Klaxx.

After making through several obstacles and riddles, losing Dorian in the process, Berek's party finds its way to Damodar's castle. Confronting him, Berek manages to take advantage of his overconfidence and steal the Orb, though Ormaline and Nim are badly wounded before the wizard teleports them to the Temple of Obad-Hai. While Ormaline and Nim are treated by the clerics, Berek rides back to Izmir, Lux staying behind to delay demons summoned by Damodar.

Using his shape-changing abilities, Klaxx infiltrates Izmir's castle, kills Oberon in his bath, and assumes his shape. When Berek returns with the Orb, Melora uses it to unlock a vault discovered beneath the castle, where the Turanians hid the secrets of their magic. However, at that moment, Klaxx reveals himself, stealing the Orb back and killing the King, the new captain of the guard, and many of the castle's inhabitants, before returning the Orb to Damodar. The dragon awakens and destroys the Orb, regaining its full power.

While Berek rides in pursuit, Melora, who is near death, manages to decipher the Turanians' secret and rally the remaining mages in a magical attack that defeats the dragon, and also frees her from the curse.

Berek and Lux meet up and confront Damodar, who no longer has the Orb's power at his disposal; Klaxx, who has no interest in helping Damodar any further, disappears with a laugh.

In the aftermath, Izmir is rebuilt, with Berek immersed in his ministerial duties, and Melora appointed as the new head of the Council of Mages. Lux, Ormaline and Nim are shown to have fully recovered from their wounds.

Damodar is last seen being imprisoned in a dark dungeon beneath Izmir, but smiling to himself as if he is fully prepared to wait another hundred years to have his revenge.
