Twilight of Darkness

And another immediate question: if, according to the scenario, dark magic is "forbidden," why can it be obtained?

Continued playing. Veteran difficulty, Barbarian. I'm not very good at playing them, so it's taking a while. Regarding the quests:
It's impossible to find wolves and elves without an altar, but maybe that's the intention.
After completing the tasks, a message doesn't always appear indicating who to go to (for example, the meteorite). I would like the quest giver to be indicated in the task description, and in general, there could be a little more information in the description (for example, about the slaves).
I can't find the druids on the mountain. If it's the mountain with Utopia, then they're not there.
I also didn't find the gnomes who robbed the orc.
Fighting in the arena seems like suicide to me – the enemy's army is more than twice as large as mine, and after winning, only a lazy person won't finish me off.
In general, it's difficult without level 7 creatures. The AI is running around with dragons, but thankfully it divides its army, so it doesn't cause problems. But the neutrals are growing catastrophically. To repel them, I now need to kill about 400 various cyclops. The losses are very high.
Perhaps all the difficulties are due to playing as the Barbarian, and I'll have to replay with another race.
