The Fall of Voron

As far as I understand, this isn't possible because the third Castle (next to Benabar) only becomes ours after talking to that hero, and soon after, "a messenger arrives with bad news." Therefore, it's better to first maximize the development of the capital and the town by the lake (plus, of course, training – I invested in cavalry, although in another playthrough, I tried monks – also not bad :). Clear out the Dungeon, kill the elf, and fully equip yourself with the necessary spells (if you go with Haven, then "Regeneration" and "Resurrection" are essential; if you go with Dungeon, then "Vampirism," and you can also try an exotic combination with Summoning – then Hive and Phoenix). You also need to be aware that dealing with the Orcs isn't the end of the fight; after capturing their three villages, the quest will be completed, and you'll be in for a new surprise, so it's best to be prepared for it. P.S. To the author – it wouldn't hurt to also debug the scripts, but that's up to you ;).
