Westwood Studios have made role playing games (RPGs) for a long time. Best known are Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2. When SSI planned to make a third one, Westwood chose to make their own RPG without the restrictions from the D&D rule set. The efforts ended up with LoL. Originally planned as a series of eight titles, but only ended up with three.

Setting

The storyline of the games takes place in a fantasy realm known and referred to simply as The Lands. The main realm of the Lands is Gladstone, where the civilised and 'good' races are based.

The history of the Lands is divided into six periods.

The first is The Unknown Beginning when the Lands were created.; Then came The Golden Age when the Ancients roamed the Lands. There were no wars.; Then followed The War of the Heretics. The Ancients fell and the Dark Army rose for the first time. The Ancients became a myth. In the era after the disappearance of the Ancients, a group of predatory Ruloi established a stronghold in the Claw Mountains. They were able to accumulate much of the ancient magic that had been left behind in the lands.; The Dark Times was the fourth period- a period of darkness. Small states appeared with every race.; After that followed The Racial Wars. A lot of small wars not relating to each other. Some races were wiped out and the ultimate result was that the four races (Humans, Huline, Dracoids, and Thomgog) established domination over the Lands.; The present period is called Rise of the Dark Army.;

In "Guardians of Destiny", a brief reference is made to the Kyragem of Legend of Kyrandia, while Legend of Kyrandia Book Two has an easter egg where letters written by Scotia, hinting at the possibility that both Westwood Studios fantasy games take place in the same continuity.

Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos

King Richard LeGrey is the noble leader and 40th heir of the Gladstone Keep and the White Army. Gladstone is the base of operations for all of the civilized areas. The King is worried about Scotia, a vile old hag and ruler of the Dark Army who has recently acquired the Nether Mask, which is a magical item of extreme power and can now assume the shape of any living creature... or horribly unreal beast.

King Richard gathers together his armies and seeks a champion to go see Roland at his manor and retrieve the Ruby of Truth.

The player has to choose among 4 playable pre-made characters: Ak'shel (a 'Dracoid', an ancient race of dragon-lizard hybrid origin, specialized in magic over might), Kieran, (a 'Huline', another ancient race of human-feline hybrid origin, specialized in dexterity), Michael, (a human specialized in strength and fighting) and Conrad (another human, who is a well-balanced combination of all).
