Description
Illwhyrin, the witch queen of Char, has been vanquished, her lair Witchaven destroyed, and the curse that plagued the land is finally lifted. However, shortly afterwards the valiant hero Grondoval the Witchbane is contacted by a mysterious golden dragon, who tells him that Illwhyrin's sister Cirae-Argoth is coming to avenge her death. Demonic legions abduct the princess Elizabeth along with other people from Grondoval's homeland Stazhia. It's time for the hero to embark on an even more dangerous journey, rescue the innocents, and defeat the evil witch.

Trivia
Cover art
The cover art for
Witchaven 2 was created by artists
Ken Kelly, who also created the cover art for the original game.
Cutscene anomaly
During the course of the game, the player collects different weapons and armor to make him appear more or less like a Midian Knight on the cover of the original
Witchaven (spiked shield, horned helmet, chain vest, etc.) However, in the cut scenes, Grondoval wears bright gold armor and helm and never holds an axe. The gold armor only matches with the breastplate that the player can attain during play. The player's hands do not match the cut scene versions' hands and wrists *at all*.
Engine improvements
Although it uses the same engine as the original "
Witchaven, slight improvements and changes made it impossible to open
Witchaven maps with the new map editor that came with
Witchaven 2.
