'''The World Tree''' is the fifth episode in the [[Heroes Chronicles]]. It was a free download offered to those who had bought at least two of the Chronicles titles.

==Backstory==
Tarnum is drawn to a distant region to save the World Tree, that which gives life to all living things, from the Necromancers. But a far more dangerous enemy waits for the Immortal Hero &mdash; an enemy he has no chance of defeating.

{{town|Neutral|noname=}} Unnamed male historian: Somewhere in the dark tunnels beneath the earth was the world tree. The wellspring of life. Tarnum had to find it before the insane ancestor Vorr and his minions, the necromancers, destroyed it. But how does one kill a god?

==Heroes==
* [[Tarnum]] the [[Barbarian]]
* [[King Targor]] the [[Barbarian]] (uses [[Xarfax]]'s portrait)

==Strategy==
In Senseless Destruction, there is a bug that allows enemy heroes to retrieve troops from some or all of the garrisons, particularly in the Underworld. As a result you will be attacked by extremely strong armies very early in the game. Attempting to break through part of the Underworld early may be the only viable strategy.
