The heroes once again disperse the pieces of the necromantic artifacts as they part ways.Ī final bonus campaign features Sandro after his defeat. Afterwards, Gelu is chosen to become the Forest Guard's next captain, as referenced in Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade.
Succeeding, they push onward into Deyja, eventually cornering Sandro and defeating him. The team of heroes decide to seek out the pieces of the sword and reassemble it. As they regroup, Yog recalls a task he performed earlier of dispensing the components of the Angelic Alliance, a mighty sword. They arrange to meet at the plains of Bragden, but are ambushed by Sandro himself and forced to flee.
Some time later, amidst the war against the undead, the heroes Gem, Gelu, Yog and Crag Hack band together to combat the threat. From there, he begins his plan to conquer the rest of the continent.
There, he vaults a puppet king, Finneas Vilmar, to the throne, attaining full political control of the undead lands. With the Cloak and the Armor in his possession, Sandro battles the vengeful armies of his former warlock master, Ethric, and passes onward into the undead lands of Deyja. He reassembles the pieces into two whole artifacts, the Cloak of the Undead King and the Armor of the Damned. However, once secured by the unwitting heroes, the pieces are spirited away by Sandro without fulfilling his end of the bargain. Unaware of Sandro's true nature, they agree to aid him in wresting the pieces away from other necromancers. Sandro first convinces the sorceress Gem and barbarian Crag Hack to find the pieces of the two artifacts for him, promising rewards in return. He uses illusionary magic to take the form of a living human, which he uses to disguise himself. Sandro begins a ten-year plot to reassemble two ancient and powerful necromantic artifacts.
The storyline revolves around Sandro the Necromancer, who has recently arrived on the continent of Antagarich following the events of Heroes of Might and Magic II. The Shadow of Death campaigns serve as a prequel to The Restoration of Erathia.
Because of this, several gamers discovered that it was possible to create empty files with the correct file names to unlock the Armageddon's Blade enhancements in The Shadow of Death without having to install the earlier expansion pack. The game, however, checks only for the presence of these files: it does not verify the file contents. New features included in the Armageddon's Blade expansion (such as the Conflux town) are present in The Shadow of Death, but are designed to remain hidden and inaccessible unless certain files installed by Armageddon's Blade are detected in the game's directory. The Shadow of Death can be installed alongside the first Heroes of Might and Magic III expansion pack, Armageddon's Blade. The expansion pack also significantly improves the map editor, including new portraits for four of the new campaign heroes - Sandro, Finneas Vilmar, Yog and Gem - and other customization options. The combination artifacts bestow extremely powerful abilities, and feature prominently in the campaigns. A major addition is the inclusion of "combination artifacts", that is, artifacts pieced together from other artifacts. Additionally, the expansion introduces a fifth artifact equipment slot for all heroes, and ten new types of teleporters for use on the Adventure Map. Each faction remains fundamentally unaltered. The expansion also includes twelve new artifacts, minor balance tweaks and eight new terrain types designed to enhance hero attributes such as morale, luck and magic expertise.
