The new allies of the Norcaine, the Shadows, are invisible in their normal form and only become visible when they want to or when they strike. It is known that they came to Eo from another world, but nobody really knows their plans or goals. The first appearance of the Shadows were featured in a sub-quest in Spellforce : The Order of Dawn, but was of no consequence in that storyline. Elements and events of that quest are mentioned in SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars once the protagonist reaches the Gate of Swords.

Gargoyles are bloodthirsty demons from the inner centre of the world that have been given a physical form through magic--Sorvina's knowledge as an alchemist of the Silver Hand enabled her to add these creatures to the army of the Pact. Grateful for their new bodies and happy to quench their bloodthirst at last, they throw themselves into battle for their masters.

After the Dark Ones were defeated in the War of the Six Nations, their armies scattered and the survivors founded enclaves all over Fiara. While the Dark Elves founded a new empire called Lar, and the Sharok orcs occupied the large glacier in the North, the orcs and trolls in the East and South of Fiara were less lucky. They had to eke out a meagre existence as small marauding gangs, always fleeing from the Armies of Light. But then the Iron Lord appeared--The first Orc to unite the wild southern clans under his command. In a long march he led them along the Black Coast, through the grasslands of the Green Sea and up to the Gate of Swords. Among the ruins of former strongholds of the High Elves, he and his followers found shelter.
