After the rune warrior had returned to the Blackwater Coast in SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix, he found the dwarven ghost of Gurim. The ghost was cursing at the dwarven circle mage Isgrimm as well as the dragon Laurin.
About Gurim's past[]
Gurim told the rune warrior, that he and his brother Glamrig were famous stoneshapers from Windholme. Sadly they angered the circle mage Isgrimm. Isgrimm defeated Glamrig and bound his soul to a rune. Shortly after the Convocation broke out and all mages of the circle were gone.

Gurim went to see the old dragon Laurin who promised that we would be able to unbind Glamrig from his rune bond. However Laurin first asked Gurim to kill four of his enemies: Sheeha, Andar, Zandarh and Iridon. Gurim did as he was told but then the dragon betrayed him and kept the rune after having killed Gurim.
Gurim's battle plans[]
In order to lure out the deceiver again, Gurim was claiming that one had to defeat the ghosts of his previous enemies once more. The dwarf told the rune warrior about the strengths and weaknesses of each single dragon boss and how to proceed in fighting them.
Defeating the four dragons[]
|
Sheeha |
|---|---|
| She is vulnerable to all kind of physical attacks including melee combat, ranged combat and certain magic attacks (e.g. Rock Bullet). Additionally she is resistant towards magic spells and is capable of utilizing Rock Bullet (14). | |
|
Andar |
| He possessed vast amount of health and deals alot of melee damage and thus should be fought from distance. As he has low magic resistances he can be damaged with spells easily but he will sustain himself with Aura of Lifetap (14) by stealing life. | |
|
Zandarh |
| He would be accompanied by lots of fire elementals. These beings are being reinforced by Zandarh with Fireshield (15) but on his own the dragon would not prove much difficulties. | |
|
Iridon |
| Being accompanied by lots of ice elementals and an ice golem capable of casting Iceshield on them, his servants are already quite strong. Iridon himself is also capable of casting Wave of Ice (15) to freeze the attackers additionally. |
Challenging Laurin[]
With his servants having been defeated the wind dragon Laurin finally resurfaces in the north of the Blackwater Coast.
After the four dragons were defeated, the dragon Laurin appeared in the very north of the island. Laurin is a strong dragon and should not be underestimated. Upon having wounded him, there would be illusions of Laurin appearing at the nearby dragon stones.
After a dragon stone illusion was restored completely, there would be an identical copy of Laurin. Thus the rune warrior had to deactivate the stones and to kill the incomplete Laurin illusions first. After Laurin was defeated, Gurim would state that Glamrig's rune should now belong to the rune warrior to serve his rightful master. If Gurim died during the battle with, there would be no such talking.
