Yet he remains a permanent riddle for me... the guilt of the Convocation still weighs heavily on his shoulders, that much I can say, but who is to judge him?
Darius Servil about Rohen's motives

Rohen Tahir was a major character in SpellForce: The Order of Dawn. He was the sole survivor of the Circle, founder of the Order of Dawn and former master of the Phoenix Bearer.

Background[]

Maybe if this circle mage stopped babbling about world domination I would actually learn something.

Early Days[]

Little to nothing is known of rohen's early days, it is possible that he was once a nobleman but this is mere speculation. Indeed the magician did not like it at all when others pried into his past and took active measures to hide it. What is known for certain is that after the end of the Mage Wars, he was chosen for the Circle as one of the most renowned mages of the Humans.

Marriage[]

During his time as a circle mage Rohen heard of Lea Muir, the exceptional daughter of the Muir family who had apparently been blssed and gifted a ring called Pledge of the Gods by the goddess Elen herself, and decided to marry her in order to get his hands on the artifact but after the deed was done it was revealed that Lea had given the ring to her lover Amra, consumed by rage Rohen turtored her to death. Shortly afterwards Amra heared of what had happened and confronted the magician with his best friend Craig Un'Shallach at the Howling Mounds, the duel was a short one and resulted with amra dead, craig unconscious and the pledge stolen.

Convocation[]

Rohen and the Dark One fighting during the Convocation

Although he was young, Rohen was one of the most powerful circle mages. Obsessed with magic and the domination of Archfire, he was eager to begin the ritual of Convocation. On the day of the ritual, an old man came to his tower and warned him that the Convocation was a lie, that it would destroy all of them. Rohen just laughed off his words and then attacked him, hoping to take the book the old man had, which contained the secrets of the ritual. However at that moment the powers of the Archfire started to break down the world of Eo. Only the places guarded by the Godstones were spared ultimate destruction.

Involvement[]

After the Convocation[]

Rohen survived, disappointed by his failure. But he soon created a new plan: To travel back in time, so he could perform the ritual of Convocation once again. Rohen traveled through the broken islands and gathered a dark army. He managed to attain control over the Blades and also a mercenary organization known as the Black fist. The old magician, who had also survived, tried to end his plans with the help of a Rune warrior, but Rohen managed to trick the old man into a trap and kill him.

Before this happened though, the old man handed over the book he had to the rune warrior. The rune warrior managed to gain the Phoenix Stone in an attempt to stop Rohen but the stone was seized by Rohen as was the book that the old man had owned. Rohen managed to create a time portal and to travel back to a time before the Convocation.

Redemption[]

Rohen reads the book to learn how to master the convocation, but then he realizes that the old man he had met was actually himself. And so, after many years, he found himself standing under the tower of his younger self. He watched as the young Rohen refused to end the Convocation just like he himself did before and he witnessed the destruction of the world.

He realized that the nations would die off on the separated islands, and so he created the portals that would join the world once again. He founded the Order of Dawn that would bring a new order into the shattered world. He awoke a rune warrior then visited his old friend Darius to give him the Book of the Convocation containing the secrets of the circle and the Convocation. He then set off to the Frost Marshes where he waited for his younger self to kill him.

Peace at last[]

Undead Rohen at the Raven Pass

Rohen's corpse was later on found and resurrected by Hokan Ashir, who used the life essence made of blood of Ereon to resurrect the circle mages as his undead servants. During the battle for Raven Pass the rune warrior will meet this reanimated corpse alongside Hokan Ashir's undead forces riding a huge undead beast.

Rohen was defeated during the final battle at the Bone Temple of Zarach within the Dark Jungle alongside all of his other previous circle mage comrades when the two rune warriors unleashed the power of the Phoenix.
