== Story ==
Solmyr plays a major role in {{homm4}} in the "Price of Peace" campaign. He is also mentioned in ''Heroes of Might and Magic V''.

=== {{hota}}{{-wh}} ===
In [[All In]], Solmyr is in charge of the [[Bracada]]n force attempting to trap and defeat {{Hn|Kilgor|0=}}. He is bested by {{Hn|Dargem|0=}}, who successfully rescues [[Kilgor]].

In [[All Hands on Board!]], Solmyr appears as [[Gavin Magnus]]' messenger. He demands that [[Bidley]] surrender the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]], but also informs him that he knows he will not. Solmyr then heads the Tower's forces in their failed attempt to recover the Horn from Bidley.

{{H4Story|Mage|Solmyr ibn Wali Barad is legendary among the genies for his strong sense of honor and duty. He believes so strongly in keeping his word that for centuries he served the Immortal King, [[Gavin Magnus]], after a hasty promise. Solmyr has seen the distant past and the destruction of an entire world, and he hopes to live long enough to witness the end of time as well.}}

{{user commentary|
Solmyr is a very potent hero depending on the size of the map. He has access to [[Chain Lightning]], a level 4 spell, which speeds up early exploration and eases mid game fights, the reason why he is considered to be one of the best heroes available and also one of the best [[Tower]] hero, along [[Neela]] (he does need to recharge his [[Spell Points]] often in early game after using Chain Lightning, though). Especially in small and medium size maps this can give the needed advantage to achieve victory. At higher levels, his Chain Lightning may become as powerful as [[Implosion]] in terms of pure damage output over the first two targets. However, in large and extra large maps, one of his starting skills, [[Sorcery]], is considered somewhat useless, because direct damage from spells tends to be outweighed by the damage output of creature stacks as the game progresses.
