Heroes 6 - Discussion

Ubisoft messed up again :) Kalindra was not the queen of the Dark Side of Xion, but of Castleview, one of its five main cities, along with the surrounding regions. Unlike the Cloudlands, the Dark Side was not unified and consisted of many kingdoms and independent nations under the general patronage of the Dragon Pharaoh. However, Kalindra was the most important figure among them because she was chosen to perform the Ceremony of Reunification from the Dark Side. In Heroes 1-2, she appears in the tavern's hero list without a biography as a reference to the first five games. "Cursed" because she was turned into a vampire for some time.

A barbarian hero from Heroes 1-2, a rather bewildered, chubby Asian guy.

His name is not Atlas, but Atlas. Atlas translates from English as such, and in the plot, this character was an allusion to Atlas from ancient Greek mythology. His presence in Heroes 1-2 as a character is not fully confirmed, but there is a possibility that he, like some other Olympians, managed to visit Enroth - hints of this are given in some artifacts in Might and Magic 6 and 7. The default names of heroes and cities in Heroes 1-2 were simply a reference to Might and Magic 1-5 (the title itself - Heroes of Might and Magic - was intended to demonstrate a number of classic elements of Might and Magic in a turn-based strategy), and they were not plot-driven: these heroes had no biographies or other roles in the plot. Only some of them were later used as "new incarnations" of classic characters from Might and Magic 1-5: heroes with several similar traits and the same names, but these are different characters from the planet Enroth. These include Sandro, Crag Hack, Agar, Falagar, and a few others. In Heroes 6, they decided to do the same, but in relation to a different universe.
