The Sidhe are forced to take a drastic measure to sever the natural power of the kings destroying them and their armies, but at the cost of weakening the elves' power, giving the Serpent riders an advantage to slay the elders.

The Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and waged war against them. The Sidhe elves resist the Serpent Riders' magic. Three brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, have used their powerful magic to possess seven kings of Parthoris into mindless puppets and corrupt their armies. Heretic II was released in 1998, which served as a direct sequel continuing the story. An indirect sequel, Hexen, was released a year later. All music in the game was composed by Kevin Schilder. The game used randomized ambient sounds and noises, such as evil laughter, chains rattling, distantly ringing bells and water dripping in addition to the background music to further enhance the atmosphere. Previously, the character would simply crumple into a heap. It also introduced multiple gib objects spawned when a character suffered a death by extreme force or heat. Using a modified Doom engine, Heretic was one of the first first-person games to feature inventory manipulation and the ability to look up and down. It was made available on Steam on August 3, 2007. Heretic is a dark fantasy first-person shooter video game created by Raven Software, published by id Software, and distributed by GT Interactive in 1994.
