HeroQuest Official Quest Order

I’m a little baffled by their decisions on this list (not you for reporting it of course). Spirit Queen’s Torment gives the impression that it takes place fairly late in the war against Zargon. Mentor has other seers helping him out (as if he’s getting older and can’t do it alone anymore?) and Orcs are joining the good side (as if perhaps the power of Chaos, I mean Dread is weakening and they’re deserting…. I know you could also see it as rewriting the Orc lore, saying that only a minority of Orcs are bad guys and the good Orcs were there all along, not just an ancient memory). Crypt of Perpetual Darkness being long after the rest of the quests I agree with, as it ends on a cliffhanger. Prophecy of Telor also feels like it’s a return to form for the heroes after a long career (much like the reality that Baker was coming back to the game after a long time with the remake we were getting) rather than the next adventure. In the EU expansions Wizards of Morcar follows Against the Ogre Horde. The Dark Company feels very much like the kind of plot that we should have gotten with the “Sir Ragnar as traitor” concept that was thrown in there out of the blue in the epilogue to Return fo the Witch Lord. I would place all the Mythic quests at the end (other than the training quest, which is more like one that brings in a new group of heroes). Elf and Barbarian (and the unreleased Wizard and Dwarf) could appear anywhere but they partly deal with the beginning of a new hero as well. The Japanese game is kind of its own thing but it’s campaign covers events and themes similar to parts of the Game System in the other regions but also Return of the Witch Lord and The Frozen Horror (it was released a year earlier than the latter pack though). I wouldn’t be surprised if they tweaked this list at some point.
