Yeah, as death is for sure a reason for Ubisoft to not use deceased characters (*cough* H5: Freyda, Markal; MMX: Montband; DoC - Ariana *cough*).
Not that reusing some of them was a bad thing but what I learnt from Ubi is that, death is not the end for some/popular characters.

OK, I admit the Freyda thing was confusing, especially with the ghost you gain after defeating her in H5.
However Markal was dead by the end of H5. Part of his spirit remained within the Ring of the Unrepentant and tried to escape by tricking Zehir, but even that last remnant was destroyed.
Montbard's fate is never explicitly stated at the end of H6, beyond being defeated in battle. (Remember that in Heroes, defeating an enemy hero does not necessarily mean killing them on the spot unless stated otherwise).
As for Ariana... well I'm not sure what happens to her in DoC, to be honest I know Vein believed she was dead, but I don't think you actually see her kicking the bucket in DoC.

I think it was very clear - she was dead in H5 and alive in H5:FoH - she was "saved by a bunch of developers".

That's strange because:
1. He was killed in H5 and his body was destroyed by Zehir (turned in ash), so Markal couldn't be reanimated.
2. He somehow escaped inside Ring of Unrepentant but was defetead there once and for all.
3. Zehir bring his skull from Ring, so I wouldn't call him a spirit. (artifact Skull of Markal was introduced in HoF, so I guess it appeard on Ashan, when Zehir returned from his adventure inside the ring and bring it with him).

Marzhin said:

He was killed in battle... and in next one, and in another one, and so on until ressurection building in Portmeyron wasn't destroyed. After that, well... Sarah, asked by Kiril if Montband could be healed, said:
Quote:
It would be easier to kill him. Elrath will understand his innocence. And Asha will give him a new life. He'll never be able to recover totally from what the Faceless have done to him.


Marzhin said:

She was killed, twice. But as it was Void involved, she was alright after all. It seems that Void not only can erase memories and physical things but also defeats, as they would never happened.

Quote:

I am beyond the cycle of Life and Death. I am eternal. You do not understand. You are ignorant, blind. You are but simple memories which will be forgotten little by little by the Universe…

The Herald raised his index finger and Phrias, Ariana, Akane and Kieran materialised at his side. It was more than a resurrection or Undeath provoked by the venom of the Spider Goddess. It was as if the combat we had just finished had never happened. We never killed them, we hadn't even injured them.

Unfortunately these events also were erased by Void when DoC campaign was changed.

The Void sounds absurdly powerful. Could erase Death too?

And I guess a Dragon God too...

It reminds me of Gazal's phrase in DoC: "I reject my death, I undo my defeat".

Who knows... It's possible, that Sandro could want to check it when he tried to "erase Alma's death".

I added quote from original DoC campaign to my previous post. As for Dragon God - see Heroes Online when Sandro tried use Void to erase Elrath. He failed of course.

How interesting. Do you know other mysteries, "concealed" by developers?

Personally I believe the artefact known as "Skull of Markal" was actually Fiona's skull, that Markal was always carrying with him, recovered from Markal's belongings after his death.

Sarah suggests it, but you never see if Kiril chose to follow her advice or not.
We now know that canonically he didn't

When I said that the Void was a type of magic they wouldn't believe me. Now they say how powerful the Void is.

However Markal was hit by fireball (or other spell) and turned into ash, so I don't think any item would survived that.

I think Kiril also said, that Sarah can kill him, if he won't agree to hear the truth... and from MMX we know how insane he was after these events.
Nevertheless, yes, canonically he somehow was alive, even when he died a lot of times before his final defeat in HoMM6.

Heligrin said:

Texts from original DoC campaign. There is much more information about Blackskull Clan, Helexia Monastry, Shanriya Nagas and reasons behind Kieran becoming Knight of Negation.
This campaign was created when no expansion for DoC was known for fans and end its story with Herald of the Void, so no information about Gazal and other staff from Forgotten Wars and Five Towers.
