Is there a summary of the complete storyline of heroquest. Were you can find all what happens in the quest, expansions and other publications.
For instance, in RotWL you can read that Skulmar has escaped, but I don't know if he is ever used somewhere else.
I would love it if the home made quests and quests packs can be filled in between. But for this, you need knowledge of the entire storie.
So if somebody could make a post were the story is cronological. Maybe use diffirent colors for diffirent quest packs. And with pointins to were we shoul know certain caracters from.

Go down to the sixth post under this thread. This is the closest I've come to putting together an
entire storyline.

Nice post, but I think Beiren wants to know all the happenings after your post, basically what happens from the start of the game an on.

Indeed, but also what happened before is quite usefull to make a quest pack that fits in the heroquest storyline

So whatever happened to all of this? Did it progress into a quest series? Recently I was thinking about some ideas for quests explaining some of the back stories of some characters;

- some earlier heroes were off questing and one of the consequences was releasing several gargoyles into the world. They successfully hunt down say two but Verag, the one from Grin's Crag and maybe another escape to be scattered across the world

- Kessandria, the Witch Lord (originally has another name) and Skulmar are human and part of a love triangle. K and S are together but WL want's K, rises through ranks but S kills WL who then undergoes some undead reanimation or something and gets revenge by killing / enslaving K and S. When the heroes confront Skulmar in RotWL and he escapes, it breaks his bondage to become a new evil in the land

- the Spiritriders could be the elite knights from the WL's human entourage who were hunted down by him and corrupted. Maybe draw up a quest for evil heroes to take who effect this?

Dunno. I think it's neat that some things could be explained and thrown into quests but also (and I think this is one of the charms of the original Star Wars movies) not everything in the world is explained, it just is so it's up to the imagination to fill things in.
