The area around the first Dark Tower is saturated by a magical residue that corrupts and warps anyone who touches it into mindless savage mutated beasts: The Warp.

We have a race of decadent/ineffectual scimitar swinging elves who are a dying breed and can be corrupted into sin and darkness: Eldar. The Explosion of the Tower Heart caused Warhammer 40,000 Warp to seep into the world and infect itWe have a human Empire led by a Golden Emperor that's dedicated to the eradication of all other creatures because they're 'tainted' with magic: The Imperium. Where did the O-T-D-K get that idea from? Gnarl.

Horned Demons in DK 1 being unruly and difficult? The Overlord-Turned-Dungeon-keeper killed all but one, and brainwashed it into believing it was the Big Bad instead of The Dragon it really was. Other Keepers? Bad Guys (and former Overlords) who have done the same thing you have.

It makes perfect sense within the mechanics of Dungeon Keeper: Where do all your minions in Dungeon Keeper come from? Portals, Bottomless Pits that actually have a bottom, and that bottom is the Overlordian Abyss. He becomes the Dungeon Keeper, and the Dungeon Heart is what the Overlord magically-evolved into. Unable to return to the Real World in any practical matter, the Overlord settles for an intermediary: the underground dungeons of Dungeon Keeper. Over time, he becomes less of a Guy In Armored Suit (which isn't practical for The Abyss) and more of an Eldritch Abomination, a form that simply works better. Overlord is a prequel to the Dungeon Keeper seriesIn Overlord: Raising Hell, the Overlord is trapped in the Abyss. Presumably he was only able to survive to possess the Wizard thanks to the tower heart remaining intact, albeit removed from its socket. In fact, given the nature of the Keeper as established in DK, I suppose the ruination of the tower would have been the thing that shattered his power. Or perhaps having a physical form was necessary in his escape from the underworld. DK is never entirely clear on whether the Keeper has a true physical presence (the Mentor joked back and forth on the subject, as far as I recall) but he could at the very least possess creatures, so he may have simply been possessing one in the fight.You were an incorporeal creature, but you worked for Horny, who was not.Then again, the original overlord DID survive the destruction of his body and manage to possess the wizard, then the jester. One would wonder how the transition from underground spirit to above ground tower dwelling armored figure took place. Weren't the titular Dungeon Keeper extraplanar beings? Also, they were kinda incorporeal (requiring the dungeon heart to manifest any power).

Rhianna Pratchett who is responsible for it's story was a writer for the gaming magazine PC Zone UK for a fairly long period of time so it's pretty much a dead cert' that there's at least a small amount of creative inspiration from Dungeon Keeper.

Heck, your first quest is to find the Tower Heart. At the very least, I'd be surprised if none of the development team had ever played DK. Such a pity he would be destroyed by those ever-invading heroes, but hey, it gave Overlord a functional Back Story. Apparently the Keeper succeeded, becoming an Overlord into the bargain, with a tower instead of a dungeon for a home. Conveniently, the long-since-vanished Dungeon Keeper III was set to see the eponymous Keeper emerge into the overworld. Obviously, then, it makes sense to connect the stories. The games have very similar themes (albeit different genres) and even many of the surface elements are similar, such as the tower heart and the visuals of the health meters. Overlord is a sequel to the Dungeon Keeper seriesSomething the creators probably couldn't have driven home harder if they'd tried.
