"Be strong, Isabel. Have faith. We will get you through..."
—Raelag
The Alliance is the fourth scenario in The Mage campaign in Heroes of Might and Magic V.
Walkthrough[]
After Markal's death, the heroes need to visit the Queen. It is rumoured that she has gone mad, so it is definite she won't back down from a fight. They need to defeat her so Archmage Zehir can perform the Rite of True Nature. On their way, there are still some Knights and Necromancers who are loyal to her, so they should defeat them, as they might have some problems later.
On the second week, some Dark Elves are spotted near Talonguard. They are led by Raelag and Shadya, who saved Markal and Isabel from an Demon army. When approached, Zehir tells them they are here to save her from demon taint, so Raelag decides to join them. Only left is to defeat Isabel. When she is defeated, they bring her in a silent room. Zehir performs the rite, but Shadya disrupts it and summons Kha-Beleth. Shadya takes her disguise and reveals herself to be Biara. She goes and uses the Heart of the Griffin, taking the Queen to Sheogh, much to Raelag's shock. After he is calmed down, Findan finds Biara dropped the Heart and gives it to Zehir. Zehir studies it and uses it, so all 4 heroes are teleported to Sheogh.

Strategy[]
This scenario does not make much effort to complete. Godric, Findan and Zehir need to capture the towns, then an huge army must be bought to defeat the Queen.
Trivia[]
There is an unused cutscene when the heroes defeat Isabel. Isabel is furious, but Raelag admits he fell in love with her and reveals he was Agrael, but wanted to protect her from demons. Isabel is terrified, but per Zehir's orders, prepares herself for the ritual.
Bugs[]
For some reason, Isabel will not buy troops, making the scenario significantly easier.
