Among the Russian names, only Slava and Svetlana seem to fit...
The names are of Greek origin, and each one was chosen for a reason, reflecting something specific: Anastasia means "resurrected," which is fitting since Svetlana brought Anastasia back to life; Irina means "peaceful," reflecting the philosophy of the Nagas.
What an interesting alternative game! And the tiresome, bloodthirsty RACES like the Twilight and Blood Elves, attacking from across the Sea of Irsus, are, therefore, like Native Americans.
Actually, no. Take a look at the list of Greek names (even on Wikipedia) and you won't find Pavel, Anton, Slava, or Svetlana there. You also won't find Sandor, whose nationality is unknown. So, who knows, think what you want, but I think that the developers at Ubisoft were thinking of Russia. P.S. The fact that the names have become traditional should at least raise some suspicion.

The person speaks the truth. The Heroes series is moving away from canonical fantasy and acquiring the boundaries of the real world.

If I understood, I would know that your so-called canons quite often repeat the geographical outlines of our real world, sometimes even meticulously, and a well-thought-out original geography is not a common phenomenon, to say the least.
I looked at a map of the old part, and there the snowy lands were located in the south, and the desert in the north, etc. Usually, they make it that way, just like in reality, and that's boring.

Excerpt from A. Kosareva's article "Fantasy and the Middle Ages" from 08.2000: Any work of art, whether fantastic or realistic, creates its own special inner world. The world of the author's imagination. The world of the work of art, where there is its own space and time, where the development of the plot is determined by the laws of the world created by the author. In fantasy, this general pattern for art as a whole is especially pronounced. Authors of fantasy novels create an absolutely new world, which has its own geography, history, language... In almost any fantasy, we will find a map depicting mountains, lakes, cities... In his "Silmarillion," J.R.R. Tolkien created a new mythological system, described the creation of the world and its history in its early stages, i.e., he wrote the Bible of a non-existent culture... and so on. Read it in your spare time

You also won't find Sandor, whose nationality is completely unknown.
Sandor (or rather, Shandor) is a Hungarian name. At least, that's what the developers say (a similar question was asked, and they provided a detailed answer). In Heroes 5 (if you refer to the English localization), there was Nikolai (Nicholas in the Russian localization of Heroes 5) and Irina (Iris in Russian). Nikolai's father was named Alexei (became Alex in the Russian localization). His grandfather was supposedly Oleg (became Helge). The first emperor of the Griffin dynasty was named Ivan.
I looked at the map of the old part, and there the snowy lands were located in the south, and the desert in the north, etc. Usually, they do it the way it is in reality, and that's boring.
A little nitpicking: for an observer in the southern hemisphere, let's say, the "desert" will be north, and the "snowy lands" will be south, so "reality" implies both options.
Regarding magic, Irdiss correctly described everything according to the elements. Nowhere was it said that it is impossible to develop non-specialized magic; rather, the opposite is true – any race will have access to any school (it's not entirely clear with the Orcs yet). How exactly the races' inclination to a particular school manifests itself has not been stated. In the description, it was mentioned that Necromancers, in addition to their primary magic (which corresponds to their dragon), prefer the magic of Earth and Darkness. Therefore, it may turn out that for each race, there will be one specialized magic and two non-specialized, but preferred, magics.
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
If you were familiar with the medieval culture of Eastern Europe, you would know that the griffin was practically a sacred symbol there – it was often depicted on coats of arms and in architecture. We don't have such a tradition in Russia. And the fact that griffins don't exist in nature is obvious, even to a fool.
