Succession Wars
NOTE: This page is about the two wars occurring on Enroth. It is also the name of Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars. For the Heroes of Might and Magic III mod that seeks to merge the two games, see The Succession Wars (mod).
A period in Enrothian history from around the 1110s to 1154 AS when rulership of the Kingdom of Enroth was contested twice.
First War of Enrothian Succession[edit | hide | hide all]
After the arrival of Morglin Ironfist in the world of Enroth, he found himself in bitter combat for the crown against three local rulers: Queen Lamanda, Lord Slayer, and Lord Alamar. Once Morglin gained control of the Eye of Goros, a powerful magic artifact, the population rallied behind him, and he managed to defeat his adversaries. He was crowned king, and the land was united.

The Succession Wars[edit | hide]
25 years later, after Morglin Ironfist's death, there was doubt about which of his two sons, Roland or Archibald, would inherit the throne. Unwilling to risk defeat, Archibald had four of the royal seers killed, and blamed his brother for the murders. This lead to a bitter war for the kingdom, where Archibald was allied with the necromancers, warlocks, and barbarians, but with the aid of the sorceresses, knights, and wizards, Roland managed to defeat his brother.
