"I have been waging wars against the Nightshards for years. Let me be the sword that strikes your enemies."
—Shadya, to Raelag
The Expanison is the second scenario in The Warlock campaign in Heroes of Might and Magic V.
Walkthrough[]
As the war comes to Ygg-Chall, Raelag would like to seize the opportunity to get unify the Dark Elven clans. To achieve the task, Raelag needs to consult to Malsara, daughter of the Dragon God of darkness, Malassa. Malsara lives near the lake, south-east of Virbeth. After consulting with Malsara, Raelag learns that he needs to build the Mother of Darkness, using the Tear of Asha from the region.
When Raelag goes to the surface and goes to south-east, he needs to battle a garrison of Nightshard clan's troops. Raelag would need to capture the cities to advance. The Nightsahrds live in caves, accesible via the subterrenian passages in the valley. One city is in the northern, the second in the eastern and the third one in southern part of the map.
When Raelag captures the first town, the Nightshards will attempt to send their scouts to ask help from Soulscar clan. The next day, a Warlock named Shadya arrives, wanting to join Raelag. Though he mistakes her for another recruit, she persuades him that she is more than she meets the eye. Shadya wants to take the scouts - one by one. If Shadya misses a one, the next day a Warlock named Sinitar will appear. He is quite dangerous and very powerful, but raising an army of own is possible to defeat Sinitar.
When Raelag captures the last Nightshard clan, he needs to find the obelisks to reveal the location of the Tear of Asha. There are many obelisks - they can be found in:
- the south-western plateau
- eastern part of the map
- western part of the map
- south-west of the center, near a sanctuary
- plateau, reachable from a portal near the underground entrance from which Raelag comes out
When Raelag uncovers the location, he (or Shadya) needs to go there, excavate the tear and bring it to Virbeth, where the Mother of Darkness structure can be built.
Events[]
- Shadya joins Raelag.
- Shadya goes to war.
- Raelag conquers the Nightshard clan.
Strategy[]
Raelag can get into tough situations, as the Nightshroud clan have 3 instead of one town. Raelag can get one town and get the troops, while leveling up to ensure his survival.
Shadya definitively needs to defeat the messengers, otherwise Sinitar's army will crush Shadya, especially if Shadya missed to defeat the messenger just before she joined Raelag.
Notes[]
The messengers can be practically every enemy hero. He/she will aim to get to the path that leades north or east where Raelag first clashed with Nightshards inside the garrison.
