"Upon liberating Steadwick, my fears were confirmed. My father did not die of natural causes. He was poisoned. Investigations conducted by General Morgan Kendal prior to the war yielded no suspects. Now I learn the necromancers, seeking a military tactician equal to myself, have ressurrected my father, King Gryphonheart. After killing King Vilmar, he took command of their military and their throne. Now they come to us. They cannot stop the monster they have created. As a gesture of good faith, they send a messenger to speak only to me. He will tell me who killed my father. Find this hero and deliver him to me safely."
—Catherine
Safe Passage is the first scenario of the campaign Song for the Father in Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia.
Walkthrough[]
To win, the Necromancer, Nimbus, must reach the town of Highcastle with the Statesman's Medal. At the end of this scenario, Nimbus and your 7 strongest Heroes will travel with you to the next scenario of this campaign.OffBck
After the liberation of Erathia, Queen Catherine has heard her father has been revived as an undead creature. Interestingly, she has heard some of the necromancers disprove that, as they cannot control him. For that, a messenger has been sent to transport an artifact, as a token of good faith they may join in the fight against King Gryphonheart. He is Nimbus, who lies beyond some border guards.
The heroes will need to obtain keys from the keymasters to unlock the guard towers. However, two Necropolises stand in the way. Once the matter is resolved, Nimbus can carry the artifact to the Castle.

- Castle
- Necropolis x2
Strategy[]
Since the map in this scenario is very small, it is possible to capture both of the enemy towns within the first week, and it is advised to act quickly, as the enemy's armies may grow large very quickly and assault your town. Once the enemy has been defeated, the heroes should take time, along with Nimbus, to gain experience and primary skills. Unlike the previous campaigns, the heroes have no level caps and all eight can advance to the next scenario.
