Ordwald is a campaign exclusive hero and is not playable in custom made maps. However, his portrait is available in map editor and can be chosen if a custom hero is created on the map. He is based off the hero Coronius.

Story[edit | edit source]

Ordwald was the most powerful Lord in Nighon. He was an old but powerful warlock, receiving his lands from his much greater father. He rejected the warriors art's and turned to magic. Most likely that would mean that his father was a powerful Dungeon Overlord of Nighon. He sought to obtain the Vial of Dragon Blood, and was the greatest enemy and challenger of Mutare, who later beat Ordwald to the Vial, drank from it, and became a sentient Dragon. Ordwald later informed other power-hungry Lords of Nighon, including Lord Caomham and Lord Preuet, along with other unknown ones that if they could drink Mutare's blood (after she became a dragon) that they would turn into dragons themselves. In the end he, along with his lackeys Lord Caomham and Lord Preuet, were overpowered and killed by the Dragon-Lady Mutare. He was the lord and ruler of his kingdom, his lands which held a great and probably the richest part of Nighon, which he inherited from his father.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Ordwald is actually a Druid in the game, despite the fact that Druids belong to AvLee, not Nighon. This is most likely because of his specialty in the spell Slayer, as it is a great spell to use against level 7 units such as Mutare's Dragons.
