The primary antagonist of Risen 2, Mara was a Water Titan who possessed the ability to transform herself into the Kraken, allowing her to keep her actual location hidden most of the time. It was feared that as soon as either Ismael or Ursegor emerged victorious, the winner would turn its attention against the bastion Caldera and continue its onslaught south.
Very little is known about this Titan Lord, but he is mentioned in Risen 2 by Commandant Carlos as being in an ongoing battle with Ursegor. He was considered the most powerful of all Titan Lords. Presumably their fight was for dominance among the ranks of the titans or for control over the Lost Realm. He engaged in battle against Ismael after the events of Risen, as mentioned by Commandant Carlos in Risen 2. The king of the Saurions, Ursegor was a Titan Lord found in Risen, mentioned in Risen 2, and encountered in Risen 3 as a spirit. Based on its level of power and the consequences of its downfall, its status as a Titan Lord is almost certain. While often assumed to be a Titan Lord, many characters in both the first and second games refer to the "fire titan" without the lord appellation. It was a standard titan rather than a Titan Lord, and the name of the titan was never given.įollowing are specific Titan Lords encountered or discussed in the Risen series of games.Īn unnamed Titan Lord located inside the volcano on Faranga. For example, an earth titan is encountered directly by a player in Risen 2, as a result of Captain Crow's summoning. Additionally, they can be divided by the aspect they influence: fire titan, water titan, earth titan, death titan, etc. While it is not fully understood how the titans are organized (if they are at all), there are at least two primary divisions among them: titans and Titan Lords. (Strictly speaking, the gods were forced out by the Dark Wave.) It seems the gods had to at least be in proximity of the titans to maintain their imprisonment, as once the gods had left the titans began rising from the bowels of the world. When human belief shifted away from the gods, they departed to leave the races to manage themselves. Apparently the gods used their power to imprison the titans deep in the world, where the surface races would never find them. This self-reliance had an unexpected consequence. Over time, this belief in their own abilities overtook and replaced their belief and reliance on other entities. At some point, humans began to realize they could accomplish much on their own, including the course their civilizations would take. Leaders within religions would instruct on ways to serve, what was considered the proper way to live, and so forth. They were to remain imprisoned until "the end of time." įor sometime thereafter, the gods were worshiped as divine beings. In anger the gods banished the Titan Lords in the depths of the world, both earth and sea. However, after finishing their part of the creation, they turned on one another in a great war of devastation. It appears that in the time before recorded history, the gods enlisted the abilities of the titans during the creation of the world.
