He suggests that the pirate seek guidance from the most powerful sorcerers in the Southern Seas: the voodoo witch Chani (a companion in Risen 2) the high magician Zacharias on Taranis and the druid Eldric (a recurring NPC from the first game), who is now on Calador where he leads an ancient order of Demon Hunters to fight the Shadows. Since the soul of the Son of Steelbeard is being held captive by the Shadows, recovering it will be significantly more complicated. Bones tells the Hero that he himself had once lost his soul (part of a quest in Risen 2) and had it restored. The longer he is away from his soul, the more he will lose his mind and will eventually become a mindless minion of the Shadows. Bones reveals that the Hero isn't quite alive, his soul trapped in the Underworld, and that his voodoo magic was only able to reanimate his corpse. Some time later, the witch doctor Bones comes ashore on the island and performs a ritual on the Hero's corpse, awakening him from death. The Shadow Lord proceeds to consume the Hero's soul, apparently killing him, and leaving Patty and his crew to bury him. When they enter to investigate, they find a magic portal made of crystal, which spawns a demonic Shadow Lord, surprising them and knocking them to the ground. He and Patty go ashore on the Crab Coast to seek a rumored treasure in an ancient native temple, but are distracted by a Skull Cave rising from the ruins and a number of shadowy creatures emerging from it. The Son of Steelbeard is awoken from a fitful dream in which he fights the ghost of the pirate Captain Crow, who was killed in Risen 2: Dark Waters. The new player character was never seen nor mentioned prior to the third game, but is revealed to be the brother of recurring NPC Patty Steelbeard, and son of the deceased pirate Captain Gregorius Emanuel Steelbeard, as well as one of the few pirate captains left in the world. The player is placed in the role of a new "Nameless Hero," replacing the protagonist from the two previous games. Abandoned by all the gods and suffering from the Titan Wars, the world is confronted by a new threat, rising from the soil.
