Stronghold campaign. Warlords of the Wasteland is the first episode in the Heroes Chronicles. It was sold as a stand-alone game using the Shadow of Death version of the engine, but missing multiplayer and random or custom maps.
Backstory[edit]
Before Tarnum became the Immortal Hero, he was a Barbarian who threw off the shackles of his Wizard masters and returned his people to their former greatness. This is his tale, and his downfall.
