Axeoth is one of the worlds of the Ancient universe, and setting for Heroes of Might and Magic IV, Might and Magic IX, Might and Magic: The Sea of Mist, and the Lost Tales of Axeoth in Might & Magic: Heroes VII.
This is the world into which the refugees of the Reckoning escaped from the doomed planet Enroth by means of magical portals. Its native inhabitants include elven communities, barbarian tribes, red dwarf clans and human states. Noticeable elements of the native wildlife are the giant mantis and the sea monster.
The world was scrapped in favor of a new setting after New World Computing filed bankruptcy and the license for the Might and Magic brand was acquired by Ubisoft.
