Not sure which game in particular you're referring to, so I'll cover them all. For Disciples: Sacred Lands I don't recall the order one played the sagas in being particularly important. Empire is probably the easiest to start with from a gameplace perspective so I'd recommend just starting there then going with whatever race you feel like after that. For Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy the order again doesn't really matter; while the sagas overlap a little bit in their stories at the beginning each one pretty much ends up going in its own direction. However, for Disciples 2: Gallean's Return I'd recommend the following order: Legions, Hordes, Clans, Empire. While the stories told in each saga fit together nicely regardless of the order in which they're played, it fits together better chronologically in the order that I listed the sagas. Rise of the Elves only contains a single saga so there isn't much of a concern there.
