DoR pre-release content

From Heroes 3 wiki
Revision as of 14:27, 18 December 2025 by Legate (talk | contribs) (At least currently, these tables only show when an artists page has artwork attributed to that town/release, not whether they actually worked on that town. If we have any concept/pre-release artwork from these towns that can be specifically attributed to Ehlesgens or Nephretes, we should duplicate it to the artists' pages and add the check here.)
