I don't quite understand.
In Heroes of Might and Magic III, Erathia was destroyed as a result of the merging of Armageddon's Blade and the Ice Blade, after which the population of Erathia fled to Axeoth – the world of Heroes of Might and Magic IV. Now, the question is:

What happened to Axeoth? Why do the events of Heroes of Might and Magic V take place in some place called Ashan?

The answer is simple: the developers don't want to use the existing world in any way, because each time a new company develops the game and, accordingly, does everything in a new way. Although Erathia was my favorite and sounds great.

Yes, that’s exactly how it is. Ubisoft believed that it could create a new game universe from scratch, creating a world with a completely different history, where even the very beginning has no connection to the plot of the previous installments. Although, sometimes, some proper names from the universe developed by 3DO are mentioned. A striking example is Sandro, the teacher of the well-known Markel. But it should be noted that only his name remains, and nothing else. And the opinion on Ubisoft’s approach is different for everyone, but most fans of the Heroes series are clearly not thrilled with Ashan. However, the respected XEL can tell much more about this issue than I can :)

And why aren't you thrilled? No, it's a decent map, their idea seems to have worked out.

It seems Isabel also mentioned Crag Hack, another hero from the 4th part, and also from the 3rd part.

Only a skull remains of Markel. I wonder who killed Markel and when? Maybe someone knows.

Only Marckel's skull remains. I wonder who killed Marckel and when? Maybe someone knows.

After the death of Nicholas the vampire at the hands of Faidan, our elf friend went to push back the undead towards the borders of the Empire. And there he met Zehir and Godric, and together they took Marckel's head. =)

By the way, there's a patch for the fifth game that allows you to hire Sandro. And I'm not entirely sure, but at least Markel looks very much like Phineas from the third game, who was Sandro's student in the third game, but he made him king and so on.

After Nicholas the vampire was killed by Faidan, our elf friend went to push back the undead on the borders with the Empire. Well, there he met Zehir and Godric, and together they easily defeated Markel. =)

Too bad for the guy, so what if he wanted to rule Ashan, what's so bad about wanting to kill everything:smile24:. I want to do that too.

it's interesting how Pheneas is similar to Markel))... definitely not in appearance =). The first was a lich (although there was still some skin on his face))... and in terms of intelligence... well, maybe, maybe... both have rather low intelligence))).

P.S. everything has already been said about the world many times...

He's not an exact copy of Phineas, but Marcel is still smarter than Phineas.
And I also really liked Erathia, Axoth was also not bad, but I think it's not for nothing that they created their own world and their own universe for each part:smile17:. Personally, if I were asked to come up with a plot for the Heroes game, I would also come up with my own universe, and each series of Heroes has a completely different quest. And Ashan is still the best:smile42:!

Now, let me explain in advance so that others don't waste time retelling the same thing: Ashen is a trashy universe that has nothing to do with the previous parts of the game and is not connected to Erathia, Enroth, Axeoth, and other grand names. It was created by Ubisoft to offer gamers something mainstream, like dividing castles by nationality or having an inquisitor with a hammer who destroys demons. I think I said it quite concisely; it could be expanded into several pages, but I think it's better not to do that, don't you? I hope these harsh times are over.

Well, I don't know... I personally like Akseot the most.

To each their own; for example, I like Akseot the least.
And regarding Ashan and Axan, both are correct. Ashan is the correct translation, but I think Axan sounds better, and our translators probably thought the same, which is why they did it that way. The meaning is almost the same:smile02:

Excuse me, could you please explain the difference between Erathia and Ashan? I've played all the Heroes games, including the first ones, and I've never really thought about Ashan being a separate land; I always assumed it was just a place in the distant past.

this land existed only in the distant past

Or in the future.

Excuse me, could you tell me what the difference is between Erathia and Ashan?

The difference between them is significant, as they are two different worlds.
Erathia, Axeoth, etc., are connected by a single storyline, while Ashan is a completely separate story and not the best one.
P.S. If you follow the storyline, everything will become clear.
