Non Player Character
Princess 👸
The Princess is the heart of every rescue — a figure of light amid war’s shadow and the focal point of the rescue scenario. Though she cannot directly be controlled by a player or wield a weapon of her own, her fate rests in the hands of the forces of Good, who must find her and whisk her away to the safety of her waiting carriage. Guided by those sworn to protect her, she follows with trust alone as battle rages around her. Her safe passage marks the measure of the team’s success, turning her rescue into a struggle not merely for victory, but for survival.

cessation of arms
When the Warlord falls and the Princess is lost or saved, the clash of light and darkness ends — not with peace, but with pause. The banners lower, the echoes fade, and the legends breathe once more until the next call to arms. In Legends of Might and Magic, even victory feels like a moment stolen from eternity.
