Short Stories
Several of the people who worked on Heroes of Might and Magic III wrote short stories related to the lore. These stories were never incorporated in the game itself, but are referenced in numerous hero bios and other texts. These stories were being posted on the official 3DO message board as Restoration of Erathia approached its release. Most of them were then rehosted on the now-defunct "The Nether Gods" fan site.
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'.
Ancient History: ~0-1000 AS
The Shadow of Death: ~1155-1164 AS
Restoration of Erathia: ~1165-1167 AS
Armageddon's Blade: ~1171 AS
The Reckoning: ~1172-1177 AS
The Wider Story
Stories from the manuals
Although these works are canonical, many people do not encounter them due to them being in print and not in the game. Included here merely for ease of reference.
Stories from other games
To see a summary of the plots of other games in the series, see List of games set in Enroth (world).
