Ordwald is actually a [[Druid]] in the game, despite the fact that Druids belong to [[AvLee]], not Nighon. This is most likely because of his [[Hero specialty|specialty]] in the spell [[Slayer]], as it is a great spell to use against level 7 units such as Mutare's Dragons.

Ordwald is a campaign exclusive hero. Only his portrait is available in map editor for use with a custom hero. He is based off the hero Coronius.

Story[edit | hide | hide all]

Ordwald was an old but powerful warlock, receiving his lands from his father, considered by some to be a much greater man. He rejected the warriors art's and turned to magic. Most likely that would mean that his father was a powerful Dungeon Overlord of Nighon. He sought to obtain the Vial of Dragon Blood, and was the greatest enemy and challenger of Mutare, who later beat Ordwald to the Vial, drank from it, and became a sentient Dragon. Ordwald later informed other power-hungry Lords of Nighon, including Lord Caomham and Lord Preuet, along with other unknown ones that if they could drink Mutare's blood (after she became a dragon) that they would turn into dragons themselves. In the end he, along with his lackeys Lord Caomham and Lord Preuet, were overpowered and killed by the Dragon-Lady Mutare.

Class[edit | hide]

Ordwald is technically a Druid in the game, since he is actually based on the Druid hero Coronius. This is most likely because of his specialty in the spell Slayer, as it is a great spell to use against level 7 units such as Mutare's Dragons. While Ordwald is described as a warlock, his in-game class actually does correlate with the lore, since Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor portrays warlorcks as dark druids.
