The NWC developers added the flute partially because they thought that gamers were incredible pack rats, and would carry around a useless object forever, just in case they might need it.

Because Might and Magic VI takes place in the world used in the Heroes of Might and Magic series, will there be references to the earlier games in the series such as Sheltem and the ancients?

The world of Enroth is in the same story universe as the worlds of Xeen and Terra. So, yes to the ancients, and no to Sheltem-that particular story is over.


What is the background story behind Might and Magic 6?

Having defeated Archibald in the Succession War of Heroes of Might and Magic II, Roland is crowned King and rules Enroth peacefully for 10 years. One night, a shooting star crashes down near a small town in the far west, and hordes of devils from the fallen star wipe the town out and set up a "hive" from which they spread ruin and blight to neighboring lands. Their depredations finally attract the attention of the King, who travels west to investigate, only to fall to the devils in a series of desperate battles.

With the King missing and monsters attacking from the West, people begin to whisper that the Ironfist dynasty has lost the Mandate of Heaven (the divine right to rule), and fanatical religious cults worshipping the devils appear to help encourage rebellion. Against this backdrop, your characters struggle to restore the Mandate and destroy the devils and their minions.

The Gate of Anduran is an incredible machine that can allow travel between the worlds of the Might and Magic universe. Unfortunately, an evil, power-hungry madman has come upon the secret of using it to transcend both space and time. His plan is to travel back in time and to alter the course of history, an act that could very conceivably result in the destruction of the world. The world is clearly in dire need of someone to thwart his malevolent scheme.

Jonric: What can you say at this point about the backstory leading up to the start of the game, and also about the storyline within the game itself?

Christian Vanover: Here is a quick version of the game's story:

With King Rydric fighting a war in a far off land, Rydric's advisor and friend since childhood, Zephram Dagrath, attempts to reassemble an ancient and powerful machine that will allow him to travel back to a pivotal moment in time - a moment where he could have done one thing differently to put himself on the throne instead of his friend. After a visit from a strange shaman who claims that the advisor's actions will set in motion a series of events that will destroy the world, the King's son, Prince Golwyn, and his five companions, the six playable characters in Legends, must start a quest of their own - to stop Zephram from using the machine before all is lost.
