The Demons emerge in force and march towards Haven's capital.
This war will be known as Queen Isabel's War and is the topic of Heroes V's campaign.

Asha and six Elemental Dragons clash into an epic battle with Urgash and demon overlords.

Ashan is completely destroyed. Urgash is victorious


991 - 999 YSD – New beginning – Recreation

Survivors of the war started occupying new lands and recreating factions.
Academy recovered faster as their troops mainly consist of magically animated units, Eastern desert became a new home for Wizards faction
Haven faction was united later under the Lionheart dynasty. Haven was renamed and now called Empire.
Necromancers were shattered by the results of war. Some flee to southern desert, while the others attacked by Wizards had to move to the north.
Sylvan faction took the territories of western forest. Elves united with the savage creatures of the forest to form a new faction called Rampart.
Dwarfs and Orcs both claimed the northern lands and so the “eternal war” between them started. Since that day a hate between Dwarfs and Orcs never ended  
As for Dungeon faction their fate is still unknown

Gabriel




Sandro






STORY

1 – Recreation



After defeat from Academy only few Undead troops remain and their leader Zertax was defeated.
Zertax’s apprentice called Gabriel now tries to save remaining troops.
But unexpected attack from King Roland makes the situation devastating.
Suddenly a powerful undead army rescues Gabriel and held back the attack of Empire.
Leader of the undead called Sandro claims that he comes from a world different from Ashan.
After sharing some facts of his biography Sandro offers Gabriel to serve him.
Without having much of a choice Gabriel accepts the offer.


2 – Art of Stealth



Gabriel is given an important task from Sandro.
He has to steal an artifact from a wizard called Kastral.
It is some sort of a magical book and that’s all Sandro told him about it.
Also an important part of agreement is that Gabriel is not allowed to open the book in no circumstances.
So while Sandro launches an attack on Academy troops, Gabriel enters the Hall of Wizards and fights Kastral.
Surprisingly the battle was very easy for Gabriel.
It even seemed that Wizard was giving away the battle in order to save himself.
In the end Kastral escaped but it didn’t really matter for Gabriel as the artifact was in his hands.
And of course the first thing he did is opened the book.


3 – North Lands



Gabriel knows that Sandro is furious and he should be prepared.
He should escape to the north as soon as possible.
Orcs are fighting with Dwarfs there, and both should have many fallen troops.
And that is exactly what Gabriel needs in order to raise a strong undead army.
The problem is that he does not have much time, so he should be fast, and try to avoid unnecessary encounters with Dwarfs and Orcs.
Luck was on Gabriel’s side as Sandro wasn’t wise enough to avoid Orcs and Dwarfs armies.
Blinded by anger Sandro underestimated their military strength.
So Gabriel successfully defended against him.
Gabriel was pleased with himself as everything was going according to the plan.

STORY

1 – Betrayal



It is time to act.
King Roland and Kastral are now entering the Western Forest to defeat the Elves Rampart faction.
The secret alliance was created in order to destroy all the other races so Arev will belong only to Humans,
and only two factions Empire and Academy will rule the new world.
Elves are unaware of their plans so they will be caught by surprise.
And the best way to destroy the faith of the Elves is to strike to the heart of their Kingdom,
The High King Laranas is the primary target.
Roland attacks the southern border of the Forest.
Most of the battles he won by his own as Kastral appeared to be a coward who tried to avoid major casualties and very often arrived in the end of the battle.
Laranas refused to attack straight away, as he could not believe the rumors of noble King Roland entering the Forest and attacking the Elves.
But after he saw the evidence he calls for the troops and marches to the border of Elven Kingdom.
Laranas lost too much time and was not able to defend his Kingdom. Empire troops had a lot of casualties but Roland defeats the High King.
Finally Kastral arrives with a massive army, he planned everything in advance.
He betrays Roland and kills him and the remaining Empire troops.


2 – Revenge



King Roland’s son Lionis swore to revenge his father.
Knowing that Empire troops are too weak to oppose Academy Wizards,
he decides to travel to the north lands to find an epic artifact called Sword of the Gods.
People were saying that many have tried before but none have returned.
But even that fact was not enough to stop Lionis.
He and the most loyal Generals of Empire prepare for a long journey to the North.
In the land of North Lionis met an Oracle who showed the location of artifact but refused to accompany his troops.
So it was a Forsaken Cathedral in Dungeon.
Lionis had to fight his way to the dungeon as Dwarven troops were trying to stop him.
Lionis had no intentions fighting them but he had no other choice as he had to revenge assassins of his father.
Finally he reached the Dungeon which was guarded by a Guardian.
He defeated the Guardian, but lost majority of his troops and all of his Generals.


3 – Sword of the Gods



In dungeon Lionis had to fight not only dwarfs but also many strange creatures that he never heard of before.
The deeper Lionis was going into the dungeon the fewer creatures were around.
Maybe they were afraid of something, Lionis did not know,
but he could feel a presence of someone or something following him since he entered dungeon.
Finally he found the sword. The Giant Dragon appeared in front of him saying that
“Sword of the Gods belongs to Gods only and no mortal should obtain it”.
Lionis fought the dragon and defeated it.
"Finally the sword is mine! You will be avenged father! And you the one following me, revealed yourself, I am now ready to fight you!"
A figure appeared from the shadows, in which Lionis recognized the Oracle he met on his way.
“Thank you Lionis, you did exactly what you were supposed to do, finally you have awoken the evil, now your world and your Empire will be destroyed”.
The Sword of Gods disappeared in shadows and one after another faceless warriors were coming out from darkness.

First of all guys thank you for replies!

@ Matt

i was thinking a while about this one too )

@ Nighty

well, i am more into Visuals, Atmosphere, Music and stuff like this..
with Special abilities i don't see them as important as mentioned above, so i guess didn't spend enough time on them.. but will be more then happy to hear your and others suggestions!!!
About Thunderbird.. i did something "horrible" to it.. don't think you will like it.. will post soon..

Anyways.. going to upload the Haven-Empire faction

Yes, but can't you just have the factions in the original game?

Empire looks nice, too.
Witch Hunter is also planned for the Haven of my HoMM 6, though as Elite, probably^^

For the story, btw, I have to say...many parts are quite known and classical but that's well and fine in an HoMM, as I allready said in bixies thread. Only the beginning is VERY much the same as in H4...

Minor nitpick: Why is the Death Knight riding an ethereal mount?
Wouldn't a skeleton horse best befit a might hero?
Also Sandro hasn't aged well

Edit: Sandrao

who really great work.

I especially like it,that you try to make something new with some factions and the musics you chose as faction themes are awesome.


The only things I would change are:
-The wraith and the avatar of death look too similar,the biggest difference is,that one of them wields a scythe and has wings,I think alternatively you could use skeletons as core units,move the mummy up to the elite creatures and make the revenenant the champion,or you could include the dullahan(the headless horserider)as champion.


-The mountain clans have too many humanoid creatures(especially in the core tier),like the fortress of HV(even though it is way better,than the fortress of HV),maybe you could use something like a yeti,or some kind of wolf as units.

Revenant: May I suggest Phantom as the base creature and Revenant as an upgrade?
If the Revenant is more of a 'physical' creature, hmm... Perhaps Vivisector?
