Line 2:
Thousands of years ago, [[The Kingdom]] of Celenheim was invaded by the [[Evil Overlord]] Vatar. Just as [[The Horde]] was about to triumph, [[The Archmage]] Zale arrived to save the day. After killing Vatar, he used magic to create an abyssal Rift in the ground around Celenheim, turning it into the eponymous enclave surrounded by the darkness-infested Outlands. Over the centuries of peace that followed, the people of Celenheim grew proud and forgot about the evil that lurked beyond the chasm. But when the Rift suddenly began closing up again and the forces of darkness came back, they came back angry.
 
Known under working title ''Into the Darkness'', ''[[Enclave (Videovideo Gamegame)|Enclave]]'' is a [[Dark Fantasy]] [[Action Adventure]] game released by Starbreeze Studios (who later made the ''[[The Chronicles of Riddick]]'' video games) for [[X BoxXbox]] and the PC in 2002. Its most notable feature is a complete aversion of [[No Campaign for Thethe Wicked]]: the game consists of two full-flown campaigns, one where [[The Hero|the nameless hero]] vanquishes evil and saves Celenheim and the other, where the nameless minion leads the Darkness to the triumph they were denied centuries ago. As you progress through either campaign, other fantasy characters join your group, though you can only steer one of them during missions.
 
A sequel was announced in 2003, but with no news whatsoever since then, it seems to have become an [[Orphaned Series]]. The original game was, however, ported onto [[Wii]] in 2010.

* [[The Archmage]]: Zale.
* [[Dark Fantasy]]
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
** Engineer is the [[Gadgeteer Genius]]. His evil counterpart is Bombardier, the [[Axe Crazy]] [[Mad Bomber]].
** Halfling is [[The Mario]]. Her evil counterpart is Goblin.
* [[Guys Smash, Girls Shoot]]: Most female playable characters specialize in ranged combat; most melee specialists are male. The axewoman Halfling and the male Wizard are the only exceptions.

* [[Great Offscreen War]]: Vatar vs. Celenheim.
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
* [[The Kingdom]]
* [[Light Is Good]]: Not the straightest example, since while the player characters of Light are quite heroic, the people upstairs who they are supposed to work for are supremacist, arrogant jerkasses.
* [[No Campaign for Thethe Wicked]]: Averted ''hard''. The Darkness campaign is just as long (and at times, more interesting) as the one for the Light.
