[[Heroes Chronicles]] are spread far and wide across the timeline, since after all the concept is that Tarnum is reincarnated to go deal with issues when they arise. Though the first, the one with Bracaduun, is from his mortal life, before all that. If you want to make a rough timeline, then it'd look like this:

* [[Revolt of the Beastmasters]] -- it has to be relatively old because there's really not enough time between ROE and the Reckoning for a "[[Mad King Gryphonheart]]" to appear. So it's gotta be ancient history.

* All campaigns from [[Shadow of Death]], which really works as a prequel to Restoration of Erathia. Note for example how [[Specter of Power]] is basically the set up for [[Long Live the King]] and [[Song for the Father]]. Also see how several of the campaigns are basically the backstory of a few generic heroes ([[Gem]] in [[New Beginning]], [[Crag Hack]] in [[Hack and Slash]], [[Yog]] in [[Birth of a Barbarian]], and of course [[Sandro]] in, well, most of them). [[Gelu]]'s appearance in [[Elixir of Life]] is also necessarily from before [[Armageddon's Blade (campaign)|Armageddon's Blade]], since it starts by being about his graduation in the Forest Guards...

The Bidley & Jeremy saga from HotA ([[Under the Jolly Roger]], [[Terror of the Seas]], [[Horn of the Abyss (campaign)|Horn of the Abyss]] must be from slightly before [[Forged in Fire]], because they have at least one character in common: [[Dargem]], who appears in [[In Search of the Horn]], [[Treachery]], [[All Hands on Board!]], and [[Dead or Alive]].

One thing to keep in mind about the timeline, though, is that NWC didn't really care about it all that much. This is how we get two Kastores, because in the mainline games he came from Terra but he was in Heroes before that, so heck, they are just two different elves with the same name, the same class and the same face, just a coincidence... Heroes 3 took place on a brand new continent just so as to not have to deal too much with Heroes 1 and 2's continuity. And they got rid of Enroth and replaced it with Axeoth for basically the same reason.
