The storyline of Beyond Divinity takes place 20 years after the original game. You are a servant of the divine one, a paladin who hates and hunts necromancers.rnrnIt is during the battle with one particularly vile necromancer that you are grabbed by a demon, Samuel, and dragged into another universe where you are soul-forged to a death-knight (which turns out to be adopted son, Damian, of the Divine), a creature of evil.rnrnTogether the paladin and death-knight must venture forth together to find a way to break that forging. To succeed is to resume the path you have set for yourself. To fail is to spend eternity linked to that which you have despised.
