Hope this topic fits in well in the Heroes I-IV section. If not, I kindly ask the moderators to move to a more appropriate section.
Last summer, while playing Heroes Chronicles for the n time (I don't recall how many times I've finished Tarnum's campaigns esp Warlords of the Wasteland) a thought came to my mind: why not trying to make a 'real story' out of it you know with exposition, rising action, climax and resolution.
Since I was fascinated by the Tarnum character and since I love writing and creating, I gave it a go. Long story short, some eight months later, I've finally finished what I like to call a pilot, a first 'chapter'. It's not that it took me eigth months to do it, it's just I didn't have the time to focus on the story - most of it I wrote last month.
The pilot is a 13,000-word story based on the first scenario of the Warlords of the Wasteland. Whoever played the campaign will be fairly familiar with the setting. You can read more about the structure in the preface.
I like to call it an experiment - it's the first time I've written such an 'extensive' work that can be included in the epic/fantasy/fanmade genre. It was also a useful exercise for me at least vocabulary-wise, topic- and also creative-wise.
Anyway, I also want to hear some opinions and of course criticism. I know the story isn't perfect - it can't possibly be since it's actually my first try even though I might be biased to think otherwise
That's why I've decided to post this topic on these forums where a lot of Heroes and fantasy genre fans are spending some of their precious time 
The link to the story is here, it's a pdf btw you can also save it and read it whenever/however you like.
Thank you and I'm looking forward to reading your replies. I will also make sure to answer in a timely manner.

and I don't have the patience to play them and follow the story. You know what they say: old habbits die hard and the old HOMM games are definitely old habbits
