In this thread, I suggest asking questions about the Might and Magic universe.

Quote from here:
If I told you the origin of the Arch Angels I'm sure many of you would have a heart attack.

Does anyone know what this is about?

If the fifth installment takes place after the sixth, then why does no one in the fifth game know anything about Railag?

Because they didn't plan for that in the fifth game. You can't think of everything at once.

Question: If the fifth installment takes place after the sixth, then why does no one in the fifth know anything about Rylai, or anything about the sixth?
The fifth installment was released much earlier than the sixth. In the meantime, the developers came up with a backstory (i.e., for the heroes of the sixth). And they wouldn't change anything in the fifth anyway. Besides, this knowledge would change the plot.

Play the second campaign of "Shades of Darkness". You might understand.

Does anyone know, please tell me:
1) How many days are there in a year on Axoth?
2) What is the average lifespan of elves in the Might and Magic world?

Thank you in advance!

XEL, thank you very much for the information! 1) So, in the game, there are 12 months with 4 weeks each, just like in Heroes? And is it the same in Might and Magic IX?

Yes. If it's not a secret, what do you need this information for? Is it for a literary work?

Not exactly. I'm creating a campaign for Heroes 4, with a focus on the storyline. I need everything to be consistent with the existing official information. Do you know anything about the kingdoms of Mendossus and Framon? Besides the fact that a significant portion of Chedian's population does nothing but get robbed by them (according to M&M9).

1) The hero Talanaar is the only one who survived the deadly attacks on the Day of Tears of Fire in 566. If Talanaar already existed at that time, how did he manage to remain so well-preserved until the War of Isabel in 969? As far as I know, elves live for several centuries (300-400 years), and even if we assume that Talanaar lived longer than average, he should look like an old man, but judging by the image in the game, this is far from the case. Therefore, I have another question: do elves age at all, and if so, then again, explain the situation with Talanaar to me. Perhaps I miscalculated the average lifespan of elves? 2) What is the lifespan of such creatures as angels, demons, and Faceless Ones? I would also like to know about mages: do they live on average like all humans, or do they have ways to prolong their lives (excluding necromancy)? 3) Does reproduction exist for such races as angels and Faceless Ones? If so, then how, and why haven't they restored their numbers after the losses in the War of the Ancients? If not, then why, because the ancient races of angels and Faceless Ones are as ancient as the races of humans and elves, which can reproduce? Thank you in advance for your help. PS. The answers are very important to me, as I am going to write a series of fan fiction stories about some of the heroes of Ashan and am trying to figure out all the small details of the universe.

They definitely age. Yes, he didn't grow a beard, but he still doesn't look young in the picture.
2) What is the lifespan of such creatures?
I don't know for sure, but I assume they are immortal.
Separately, I would like to know about mages, do they live on average like all people, or do they have ways to prolong their lives (not counting necromancy)?
I won't say. I haven't heard of long-lived mages. Except for Sar-Elam, of course.
3) Does reproduction exist for such races as angels and the Faceless? If so, then how, and why didn't they restore their numbers after the losses in the War of the Ancients? If not, then why, because the ancient races of angels and the Faceless are just as ancient as the races of humans and elves who can reproduce?
These are too mature questions for this universe ;) Most likely, such things are not even thought about.

I doubt they are immortal, especially considering the words from Sar-Elam's manuscript about necromancy, found by Belket: "For Asha is the goddess who created the world and gave it its name, and she is all the facets of the wheel of existence; a threefold entity of birth, life, and death...."
But if they are indeed immortal, then such characters as Michael and the remaining Faceless Ones should still be alive, right?
These are too complex questions for this universe. Most likely, such things are not even considered.
It's a pity that they aren't considered, because this question interested me the most. :)
It would also answer the question of whether angels and the Faceless Ones are immortal.

If we recall The Lord, we can at least say that the strongest of such creatures are extremely long-lived. And from there, it's not far to immortality...

Yes, if they haven't been killed. That's how I see it.
