Recently, I had a creative burst and came up with a continuation of the Heroes 5 storyline. This material could be used to create many campaigns, I think.
972 AD - Vaal's Flight Before the Siege of Talongard
Talongard, the capital of the Holy Empire and the last stronghold of demons in Ashan, will soon be surrounded by the Alliance. The young demon lord Vaal becomes aware of a conspiracy by the demonic general Sargatos, who wants to surrender Talongard and Biara in exchange for saving his own skin. But someone betrays Sargatos, and he is executed. Vaal, realizing the hopelessness of the situation, takes command of the conspirators and decides to flee the city. Gathering a detachment of one and a half hundred soldiers, he also takes a couple of artifacts and secretly leaves through the South Gate.
972 AD - The Beginning of Vaal's Campaign and the Battle on the Northern River
With a quick march, Vaal reaches the bridge across the river. During this time, his detachment has increased slightly, as he encountered other fleeing demons along the way. After crossing, Vaal falls into an ambush set by mages.
The demons immediately rush in. Imps steal mana, but quickly die at the hands of Rakshasa. Greater Demons jump, but are shot down in flight by lightning from Titans. Cerberuses accelerate and crash into the bodies and blades of Golems. Demons of the Abyss shoot, but the chain shot is very weak. Succubi try to seduce someone, but to no avail. A meteor shower, summoned by Cave Lords, is attracted to the Golems and has no effect. The mages counterattack. After the shots of Gremlins, Elemental Gargoyles fly in, and under the spells of Archmages, many demons die. Rakshasa destroy everyone around. Thunderbirds summon a storm on the battlefield and force the demons to leave their cover. Djinns, after strengthening themselves, go into the thick of the battle, but suddenly a Devil appears before them and sends them back into the lamp. Seeing this, the other demons prepare to attack again, but Vaal stops them. In confusion, they still listen to him.
Meanwhile, the wizard directs a fireball at the demon ranks. Vaal orders the Cave Lords to send one in return. A powerful explosion occurs in the center of the battlefield, and as a result, the army of mages thins out. The wizard, despite his wisdom, did not anticipate this and is now confused. But the demons can no longer be stopped. Archmages try to cast a spell, but Imps take the scrolls from them and knock them out. Hell Hounds run at the Titans. They try to kill them in hand-to-hand combat, but the Hounds dodge. The Titans try to hit the nimble Hounds running around them, but soon get tangled up and crash to the ground. At the same time, Greater Demons jump, pick up Fire Elementals, and fly into the "box" of mages. Greater Demons fly in, and the Fire Elementals explode. The victory was complete. The mages flee, and the Devil takes their commander prisoner. From him, Vaal learns that Talongard has fallen, and Biara is dead, and that a hunt for the remaining demons in the country has begun. Vaal cuts off the wizard's head and heads south, towards the Pink Mountains.
