Ashan Heroes[edit | hide]

The following table contains all heroes that also appeared in Might & Magic: Heroes VI, Might & Magic: Heroes VII, and Might & Magic X: Legacy. Since Heroes VI was a celebration of the Might & Magic franchise's 25th anniversary, a number of heroes were given equivalents on Ashan. These characters are not the same as the ones in Heroes III, since Ashan exists in a separate continuity.

Trivia[edit | hide]

  • Gem, Luna, Crag Hack, and Sandro are the only heroes to appear in all four NWC Heroes of Might and Magic games.
  • According to Greg Fulton [src], Kyrre was originally meant to be a male elf. However, the portrait that George Almond painted for the hero looked feminine to most of the development team, so Kyrre was changed to female. Documents still referring to Kyrre as a man led to this hero being in the male side in Battle of the Sexes, and to being male in Heroes IV. "Kyrre" is a real given name for boys in Norway.

Different characters with the same name
  • The Price of Loyalty features a wizard named Solmyr, but he is a different character from Solmyr, as he is a human and not a genie. Also, PoL's Solmyr only appears in a series of fan-made scenarios instead of an official campaign. However, NWC's Solmyr was created as a reference to this character. Another Solmyr hailing from Ashan appears in Heroes VII.
  • Kastore, who features in the story of Forged in Fire Horn of the Abyss, comes from the world of Terra and is not the Kastore from Heroes I - II who hails from Enroth. A third Kastore hailing from Ashan appears in the Heroes VI expansion Shades of Darkness and in Might and Magic X.
