If Rezlus had succeeded, Zhentarim's control in the Dalelands would have been firm again, their empire would be feared, they would have a strong army and Cyric's influence would be crushed, making Bane the main deity again.

Rezlus hopes to take over Daggerdale and restore the Zhentarim to their former glory. The Zhentarim, however, have become extremely weak following the Spellplague and the division of the Black Network weakened them further. The Black Network has been divided into two sections: the Banites and the Cyrcists (those loyal to Bane and those loyal to Cyric). The Zhentarim are also known as the Black Network, a name which they are referred to when hiding their identity. Because the game takes place in the Dwarven Mines of Tethyamar, there are many Dwarves present. Her sister, Nezra, is first revealed as a mystery, but at the very end is revealed to be a Zhent loyal to Cyric. She was a Banite Priestess, loyal to Rezlus. Lorin-Aria is the character in the game who summons the main characters. He is amassing an army to take over the Dale. He is hell-bent on taking over Daggerdale for his evil god and states it at the beginning of the game. This Wizard Mage is an agent of the Zhentarim and is known as Rezlus. The main antagonist of the game is a worshiper of the god Bane. Each character features abilities and bonuses related to its class and race. Additional customization requires the character to gain experience and collect equipment during the game.

Some customization of the characters is provided as a player earns experience in the game, and character progression advances as per a limited set of 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons rules for both class and race. The game makes use of the four main D&D character classes: clerics, rogues, wizards and fighters, as well as the four main races, dwarves, elves, halflings and humans.

Daggerdale features third-person real-time tactics combat, questing, character development, and exploration.
