General Goods

Wartoks: These primitive beasts make a come back in Ancients' Gates. They have a grudge against all of humanity and seek to wipe the entire human race off the planet of Drakan. A group of Wartoks known as the Stormhowlers has taken a pair of magical gauntlets to make themselves invisible to raid their neighboring humans in the Northern Tundra. (their name is probably derived from warthog because of their pig-like appearance.)

Half-Men: A strange race of half human/half beast creatures that dwell in the snowy regions of Drakan. The Half-Men are notorious for their ugliness - one villager in Ravenshold stated that they are enough to put you off your food . The second of the Ancients' Gates is found in their territory in Shiverbane. The Half-Men are not familiar with using magic, relying solely on their primitive technology. The Desert Lords have rallied them to their cause to guard the second gate in return for their support and knowledge with magic, as well as in conquering the Northern lands. The Half-Men believe that the Northlands belong to them and have been at war with the Northmen.

The gameplay of Drakan: The Ancients' Gates is fairly identical to its predecessor. It consists of two parts - in the air and on the ground. While in the air, the duo is superior to any kind of non-aerial foe but to defeat flying enemies takes a great deal of maneuvering and aiming. On (and under) the ground, Rynn has to fight alone unless Arokh can find a way to follow her, which usually isn't the case since the only places where they cannot fly are narrow dungeons.
