Кампания к Героям 3 - A Trilogy of Shadows

Карты кампании

• Curse of the Beast - Рион-пойнт
  • Пролог: Karg is your name, but sometimes they just call you Beast. During the day, your strong muscles are useful in the mines of Kreniod. At sunset, they take you back to the dungeon and remove the chains. They hurt you with weapons when you try to escape, and whip you as a punishment. Still you try, from time to time. One stormy night, good fortune falls upon you: a thunderbolt strikes the wall of your cell and you flee into the woods. You run until you are won by fatigue and stress. Hours later, you awake in a plain of luxurious green and rich wildlife. Wondered by the bright colors of the morning, you roar in contentment and swear you will not allow yourself to be imprisoned ever again.
  • Эпилог: Ardgarn is brought to your presence. You press the border of the vial against your chest, watching your blood flow from a battle wound and merge itself with the dragon's. Then you order your troops to chain you and to take blood from one of Ardgarn's wounds. Realizing what you are attempting, he struggles to escape, but is firmly held. As his blood meets the mixture in the vial, you feel yourself to be thrown into a whirlpool of mystical forces. Suddenly, you are facing the chained beast who roars in despair, for now you see through the eyes of Ardgarn. You say the combined password, so that your minions know the spell worked and you are indeed their leader. The beast is tossed into a dungeon and you are left with your new subjects, the unsuspecting undead. You sit on the throne and behold your kingdom, not very excited about your new life as Lord of the Dead.
  • Примечание: Having escaped from the dungeons of Kreniod, you embark on a long journey to find your forgotten past and change your future.
• Way to Redemption - Огненный брег
  • Пролог: A distant chant seems to call you. You desperately try to cling to your slumber, but you cannot resist. The darkness is broken by the flickering light of many candles. The chant is louder now, its profane words resonating in the confined space of the crypt. You stand, confused, surrounded by an aura of dark magic, before a cloaked man who laughs hysterically and orders you to bow to him, claiming to be your master. Then you realize what he has just done to you, what you have been turned into. Wrath frees you from the magical bounds and you grab him by the neck, tightening your grip until you are calmed down by the sound of cracking bones.
  • Эпилог: The Deity of Fire is dead and Larderan is a pile of burning rubble. The gate to Hell is destroyed and the powers of Evil are drastically reduced, while the Grail of Life heals the land. Volcanos are extinguished, vegetation grows where there was devastation, rivers bath dried grounds. The remaining demons are on the run, hunted down to extermination everywhere. Soon you realize that there is no place for you in this new world which is rising from the ashes of the old. You are still a lich, a walking corpse among the living. You are no longer needed... It is said that the Grail, now in its full power, can release the soul of any undead who dare touch it. One dawn, you take your horse and ride toward the Temple of Wind, hoping to finally find eternal rest, for you are certain to have reached the end of your way to redemption. THE END
  • Примечание: Raised from the dead as a lich, you must free a world overrun by demons.
• Lord of the Dead - Саутпорт
  • Пролог: News of the attack against Larderan have quickly spread across the lands, telling of the almost downfall of the capital and the eventual victory of Ardgarn's forces. Having your troops departed shortly after the battle, you are the only one in the kingdom who knows the truth. But everyone knows that Larderan has nearly been brought to dust and its army was almost completely destroyed. Meanwhile, memories of your defeated enemy come to your mind, bringing along a grave concern about a mysterious sect which is growing steadily throughout the kingdom...
  • Эпилог: With a sense of accomplishment, you contemplate the smoldering ruins of the last town to fall before your armies. But that feeling is overcome by sadness for the loss of the innocent lives of those who fell prey to the deception of the unholy priests. In the years to follow, you try to compensate for all the evil that has stained your past. In less than one year, you see the first results: every province supports you when vampires and liches revolt against your peaceful and merciful way of ruling. Months later, the alliance with Nalemshar is definitely sealed through your marriage with Queen Eloyna. You rule for other 25 years. By the time of your demise, the seemly unbelievable story of your life had been widely spread and more than a few historians have registered it as the whole truth.
  • Примечание: In your new life as King Ardgarn, you must reunite your kingdom to fight new enemies, while trying to repair the evil caused by the one who had stolen your body.
