Editing Restoration of Erathia (section)

==Story==
The game's story unfolds primarily through a series of seven playable [[campaigns]], all set upon the continent of [[Antagarich]]. During the campaigns, the story is told from alternating points of view, giving players the opportunity to play as each of the town alignments.

Following her marriage to [[Roland|King Roland Ironfist]] of [[Enroth (nation)|Enroth]] in ''Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven'', [[Catherine]] becomes a Queen. In the meantime, her father, [[King Nicolas Gryphonheart]], is assassinated. Without their beloved King, the kingdom of [[Erathia]] falls to the dark forces of [[Nighon]] and [[Eeofol]]. Queen Catherine returns home seeking to rally the people of her homeland and lead them against the evil that has ravaged their nation.

Erathia's capital of [[Steadwick]] is sacked by the dungeon lords of Nighon and the demons of Eeofol. Taking advantage of the chaos, the barbarians of [[Krewlod]] and the beastmasters of [[Tatalia]] fight each other over Erathian border land. Catherine's first task is to establish a foothold in the conquered kingdom by enlisting the aid of allies. The wizards of [[Bracada]] and the elves of [[AvLee]] answer her call, and together they push towards Steadwick and eventually retake it. In the meantime, the necromancers of [[Deyja]], having been responsible for the assassination of King Gryphonheart, plot to revive his corpse as a lich. They plan to use his wisdom in leading their own armies of the undead. However, King Gryphonheart's will proves too much for the necromancers even in his corrupted state, and he becomes a rogue lich. Having little other recourse, Queen Catherine is forced to ally herself with the necromancers and together they set out to destroy the lich of King Gryphonheart before he becomes too powerful.

Another campaign, accessible only after the main campaigns are complete, tells the story of separatists living along the border between Erathia and AvLee. Tired of the border skirmishes that bring unrest to their homelands, they join together to fight for independence from the two large kingdoms.
