Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era – Story
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era story takes place in the original Might and Magic ancient universe, on the continent of Jadame, located on the planet Enroth. The story is set long before the events of the first Heroes of Might and Magic: A Strategic Quest (HoMM 1).
Across Jadame, numerous kingdoms and factions coexist in a fragile balance. Old rivalries and ambitions divide them, yet all are about to face a threat that could destroy their world. From the depths of the land emerges a terrifying force — the Hive, a race of insectoid creatures corrupted by the demonic power of the Dragonfly King. Driven by their dark master, the Hive seeks to conquer and enslave all living beings, spreading chaos and corruption wherever they go.
Jadame is one of the major continents in the world of Might and Magic, introduced in Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer and is the setting of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era.
To survive this invasion, the warring nations of Jadame must set aside their conflicts and form uneasy alliances. As a prequel to the Heroes of Might and Magic series, Olden Era delves into the early history of the world, revealing how ancient wars, forgotten heroes, and demonic corruption shaped the lands that players would later explore in the original games (HoMM 1 – 3).
At this point, it is still unclear what role the faction known as Schism will play in the story. Their motives and allegiance remain a mystery — whether they will join the fight against the Hive or pursue their own hidden agenda is yet to be seen.
As more information becomes available, this article will be regularly updated to reflect new discoveries about the factions, characters, and world of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era.
