Conquest of the Underworld
Conquest of the Underworld is the second 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
The Ancestors send Tarnum to help Queen Allison rescue the soul of her father from the depth of the Underworld. But the demons and undead are the least of his worries when Tarnum faces his past crimes. (Campaign description.)
Ever have a dream you can't quite shake? It's called a vision, and Queen Allison had a nasty one. Her father's soul was torn from Paradise and dragged into the Underworld. Allison called for a hero to champion her. But only one responded: Tarnum. (Intro video.)
