Heroes 6 - Discussion

No, that's not quite right. Ashah did indeed create Ashan, just as a god created our universe. Ashah gave birth to the lesser dragons: three brothers and three sisters. The seventh dragon is Sar-Issa. And Urgash was not born of anyone; he, like Ashah, existed from the beginning; he is her brother. These two dragons are the Primordials. Ashah created the races of humans, dwarves, elves, and others that are unknown (like the Nagas and Yetis, which will appear in Heroes 6), as well as elementals. Urgash created demons. Mages appeared from all the previous races: the wisest and most powerful mages separated from their kin and went into the deserts, not wanting to be followers of any of the dragons. A sect of necromancers broke away from the mages. Mages mixed the blood of humans and demons, and orcs appeared. Dark elves, the Tuidhana, broke away from the elves. This is how the eight main races came to be.
