{{user commentary|
This is the first real map of the heroes 3 campaigns (in terms of difficulty). The player does start with 3 towns, but two of them are missing [[Fort]]. A cunning player knowing what is ahead of them (or one who read a user commentary), has brought at least 6 Knights or Clerics - as a result, their main hero (probably Orrin, Valeska or someone similar who can capitalize on the advantage) has about 64 Marksmen around day 3-4. If said hero also has access to Expert [[Slow]], [[Clone]], [[Bless]] or other useful spells, they can easily defeat any of the Forts guarding the [[Griffin Tower]]s. With proper hero chaining, the scenario should then be very easy to complete within the first few weeks, regardless of the difficulty level (as the map is covered in unguarded valuables).
If, however, you did not bring multiple Knights and Clerics and instead have a mixed group of heroes, the scenario may become much more difficult. Obtaining the minimum amount of Marksmen necessary to finish it may take a few weeks, during which the enemy will keep harrassing you. In such cases it is recommended to quickly take over enemy towns, build [[Fortifications]] in your [[Castle]] towns and grow the population of Marksmen as quickly as possible. If somehow there is spare gold (for example, because you're playing on the Easy difficulty), you may consider purchasing higher level Castle units.

Prologue[edit | hide | hide all]

CatherineCatherine Catherine: Each year, griffins from around the world migrate to Griffin Cliff. Armies of King Gryphonheart the First tamed the griffins and trained them for war. With these great beasts, King Gryphonheart unified the divergent human colonies and formed Erathia. King Gryphonheart felt the land’s native griffins were key to any Erathian war. To secure Steadwick, we need the griffins.

If, however, you did not bring multiple Knights and Clerics and instead have a mixed group of heroes, the scenario may become much more difficult. Obtaining the minimum amount of Marksmen necessary to finish it may take a few weeks, during which the enemy will keep harrassing you. In such cases it is recommended to quickly take over enemy towns, build Fortifications in your Castle towns and grow the population of Marksmen as quickly as possible. If somehow there is spare gold (for example, because you're playing on the Easy difficulty), you may consider purchasing higher level Castle units.
