Revision as of 14:34, 25 October 2024

Lost Lore Only found in the Lost Lore.

Several of the people who worked on Heroes of Might and Magic III wrote short stories related to the lore, but these stories were never incorporated in the game.

NOTE: The stories are marked with the era/order they occur in. Stories that are purely lore and make no mention of current events are marked with a '0'.
