Disciples III - Peek # 2 @ RPG Vault

RPGVault  delves into the campaign plot structure with a look at the human faction (the Empire) in this entry in their Peek series for Disciples III: Renaissance: 

 It isn't difficult at all for even a newly arrived traveler to see abundant indications that the Empire isn't experiencing the best of times right now. Indeed, the realm has declined significantly from its former glory. A war generally known as The Elven Uprising was the direct cause. The forces of the Elven Union were triumphant. They conquered the people and seized a number of territories, which effectively dismembered the human state into divided parts. The outskirts of the main city were virtually cut off from civilization, and before long, the area turned into a haven for bandits, renegades and other undesirables....the population is growing progressively more restless, excited by the increasingly abundant rumors that a prophet is coming. Not surprisingly, the level of tension in this situation is set to become even greater when the events of Disciples III begin to unfold.

The hero of the imperial campaign, Lambert, is the captain of the Imperial Guard. He is an "old soldier" who knows no other way of life, and who is unfamiliar with the words of love. His selflessly dedication to the realm means he does not need titles and awards; indeed, he has devoted his entire life to serving the Empire while asking nothing in return. His motivation is not gold and riches. Rather, it primarily founded upon his freedom of choice.
