== [[Armageddon's Blade Manual Page 10|Manual]] description ==
In the nation of Nighon, a young ambitious female overlord named Mutare seeks to defeat an aging, ineffective neighbor, Ordwald, who has squandered his land and done nothing to deserve his valuable territory. Lead Mutare and her armies as she attempts to gain rule over a larger portion of Nighon. In her campaign to expand her territory, Mutare learns of a fabled magical vial of Dragon's Blood that, when ingested, will transform a human into a powerful sentient dragon.

==Backstory==
Overlord Mutare, an ambitious Nighon Lady, wishes to take her rightful place among the ranks of powerful Nighon Lords.  In Nighon, you don't inherit your lands - you take them from those too weak to hold them.  Only the strong are fit to rule, and the bones of the weak litter the tunnels of Nighon.

==Heroes==
*[[Mutare]], overlord with Dragons specialty.
{{User commentary|
* This campaign is fully dedicated to [[Dungeon]], as both you and your enemies have solely Dungeon towns.
* In third and fourth missions, flag only [[Red Dragon and Black Dragon|Red Dragons]] dwellings and build [[Portal of Summoning|Portals of Summoning]], even prior to town 7 level dwellings. In the first two missions, flag dwellings of [[Minotaur and Minotaur King|Minotaurs]] or [[Manticore and Scorpicore|Manticores]].
* Build [[Mage Guild]]s in every your town. Visit [[Pyramid]] in the second mission.
* Liberate [[Alamar]] in the third mission. Thanks to [[Scholar]], he will get all 1-4 level spells learned by Mutare, and teach them your third hero who will also advance to the final.
* There are some skill increasing locations on the map, so you should find and visit them.
* One of three heroes may have [[Diplomacy]], as the final mission features 7 level wandering monsters, who will join your army as you start with 6 Black Dragons or with neutral dragons who are enormously strong.
* In the final battle of the third scenario, first kill [[Rampart]] and Dungeon dragons who have magic immunity, as you can cast negative spells like [[Slow]] and [[Blind]] on neutral dragons.
* Defeat your enemy prior to fighting dragons in the third mission. Watch out for powerful high-level heroes who can advance to the final mission in the [[Tavern]].
* Visit [[Marketplace]]s with secondary heroes, until you have five or more towns.
