Story
The first game, Divine Divinity, takes place in the shadowed Rivellon: a land that is slowly being torn apart by civil unrest, hatred, war, greed and several other melancholic happenings. These events point towards the possibility that dormant dark forces are once again attempting to surface. With potential doom on the rise and Rivellon in pieces, there is only one hope of saving the Land of Divinity from being consumed by Chaos: the discovery and ceremonial dubbing of the divine savior of the Seven Races.

There are five statistics in the game:
- Vitality - This is the amount of health you begin with. Should your vitality drop to zero, you will die.
- Mana - Mana is the innate energy that powers magic and allows the casting of spells.

When it reaches zero you will not be able to cast any more spells until you recharge with either sleep or a potion.
