It was Sar-Shazzar - you have some info about him in Aashn timeline. Basicaly he was Archont Belketh teacher, he spoke Dark Messiah prophecy and his body become dust after his dead.
As for Sar-Elam ritual - there are hints that Skull of Shadow is what caused "holes" in Sheogh prison. Sar-Elam used his soul to create walls around Shoegh but tiny fragment of his sould fused with shadowsteel ore nearby and walls were not perfect.
I think it was Sar-Shazzar work, who corrupted by chaos* sabotaged the ritual.
* According to old and maybe no longer canon texts from Dark Messiah, Sar-Shazzar was corrupted by... Demon Sovereign. And you know whoes title it is.
But around then the Demon Sovereign did not exist (as such) yet right, as he rose to power around the 2nd eclipse?
I thought maybe Sar-Shazzar reincarnated as a incubus or something, but if what you tell is still true, then I guess that's not possible

Russian interview with Erwan Le Breton.

Most interesting:
Developers has not decided how initiative system will be works yet, H5-like or H3-like.
Beta test will be in December or January (literally a couple of months/ïàðó ìåñÿöåâ).
More tactically unique creatures than in others Heroes games.

Demon Sovereign no but a man (demon?) behind this mask could - this text suggested that it was Kha-Beleth who corrupted Sar-Shazzar but now...? No one knows if it is true anymore or old already scrapped text.

I always though H5-initiative deserved another iteration. I'm open to it.

Prepare for a long beta Early Access, just like MMX.

No, no, no! Initiative system in Heroes V was terribly unclear - you barely ever had an idea when your unit will move. Heroes VI system was much better - there was just initiative, no 'battle readiness', which made everything so vague and unclear.

H5 system but with less extreme impact would be interesting imo.

Just to cement my reputation as the nittiest nitpicker ever, Kaspar appears to move an inch between the two Discover articles.

Again, nice article. well written.  also i guess you read the critisicm, because second article, inferno one looks more informative, thank you for that Marzhin. both informative and enjoyable read.
i will first post about gameplay-line-up wise, then post for second time to comment on lore.
------------------------------------------------------------
"If the mere intimidating presence of their army isn’t enough, they’ll use every trick at their disposal – mind control, shape-shifting, fear spells, and so on"
this really made me excited. but article also mentions of gating, im a bit confused. shape-shift as a creature ability? as a spell? or as a faction ability?
Also this fear spells, mind control things made me wonder if they are originatin from fire magic or dark magic? My guess was to have some kind of different expertise fields with Dungeon and Inferno, but they both seem like casting dark magic, which makes me confused... again.
"Ranged attacks and attacks from above come next. Only then, once the enemy has been sufficiently softened up, will the demonic forces charge."
Signes of an Abyssal Worm, traveling underground and attacking below is my best guess. I'm happy to read that, inferno get what they need, they were already weak in armor-wise defence. They needed this "Attack from above + Ranged attack" formula. I feel that we may finally get to see a powerful Inferno now, for the first time in series.
"...Their arrows are designed to be impossible to pull out, and their swords do more damage coming out than going in..."
Some crafted-weapon in army? Another exciting new! Only Pit Fiends had one of those steel weapons in h6, with arrow and sword i assume at least 2 units now.
" ...Hellhounds..."
"Pit Fiends are Demons of Hate. The sickening Breeders are Demons of Proliferation. And so on. The most powerful warriors of the infernal armies are known as Arch-Demons."
This where i fall in love. Awesome. I wonder how charismatic Arch-Demons will be

Well, it showed us why Kaspar's face had changed so dramatically between Heroes VI and Heroes V.

A lot of lab experiments seem to have gone awry between those games.

Loved the article! I am very intrigued by Kha-Beleth's story, too bad the campaign won't be about his ascension. I still think these two factions are pretty evenly matched, but Dungeon still has my preference, knowing a bit more about Inferno's possible creatures may change this though. But I actually thought that Dungeon in Heroes 6 was quite good. I am a fan of the Heroes 3 Dungeon and I thought the one in Heroes 6 was a big step up from Heroes 5 (despite the purple Minotaurs).

Talk about going back to the series roots...
Bring back the irritating initiative system that was present only in a game from the "new wave" of Heroes games...

And Ubi still gives a low budget for the franchise...
BTW Apart from the "Discover your inner Sheogh" article which I didn't even wanna read, nice concept of a demon with a big axe. Kinda reminds me of Disciples II...
