LACUNA COIL COLLABORATION

THE STORY
The week-long event took fans and players on a journey to find a malevolent entity that has become a harbinger of other evil creatures.
It’s within these forsaken lands that Iron Maiden’s famous mascot Eddie and his eternal confidant and guide, the wise and ancient Alchemist encounter the Shadow Sorceress, a mysterious wielder of dark arcane power. She has been drawn to the area, with a keen interest in what she calls the “Black Anima”.
With the help of Eddie and the Alchemist, their goals are seemingly in line as they battle their way through waves of monsters.
THE CHARACTER
Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast wanted a character that would fit perfectly into a story with Mystic Eddie, a fully-fledged seer that can control his visions (based on Maiden’s classic track ‘The Clairvoyant’ from their legendary ‘Seventh Son of a Seventh Son’ album).
The result of this collaboration is a dungeon entitled ‘The Search for the Black Anima’ & The Shadow Sorceress, a character influenced by Lacuna Coil’s interest in the creative force that comes from the ‘shadow side’. This wicked wielder of dark magic harnesses her rage and transforms it into powerful spells.
