| - The First Tatalian War is the eighth and last scenario in Revolt of the Beastmasters, the seventh part of Heroes Chronicles. Tarnum's Mudlanders and Niven's Erathians were prepared to attack Mad King Gryphonheart's foces. Since Erathia now followed King Niven, the Mad King was forced to rely on thieves and mercenaries. Unable to face Niven or Tarnum in direct combat, Mad King Gryphonheart resorted to ambushes and other strategic strikes. He also put out a bounty of 20 000 gold for the head of his son, twice the price he had offered for Tarnum. An assassin dressed as a monk made an attempt on Niven's life, but Droglo, who was nearby, realized what was happening and slew the rogue.

Tarnum's Mudlanders and Niven's Erathians were prepared to attack Mad King Gryphonheart's foces. Since Erathia now followed King Niven, the Mad King was forced to rely on thieves and mercenaries. Unable to face Niven or Tarnum in direct combat, Mad King Gryphonheart resorted to ambushes and other strategic strikes. He also put out a bounty of 20 000 gold for the head of his son, twice the price he had offered for Tarnum. An assassin dressed as a monk made an attempt on Niven's life, but Droglo, who was nearby, realized what was happening and slew the rogue. Droglo and Niven, as representatives of Tatalia and Erathia, signed a treaty against slavery, and Niven knew that he would have to restructure Erathia's economy now that he had freed all the slaves. Tarnum hoped the agreement would spread to other nations as well. While chasing a fleeing rogue, Droglo came across an old statue of the Barbarian Tyrant. Recognizing Tarnum's face, he stared at his friend in shock, and wondered what kind of man he was. Tarnum realized that the boy was unwilling to hear his tale, and asked him: "If a man - a King - made many terrible mistakes, do you think he should have the chance to redeem himself?" Tarnum knew that Erathia and Tatalia were now in good hands, and that when the Ancestors called him away, the people would be safe. And one day, the statue of the Tyrant would vanish into the swamp, and old wounds would have a chance to heal.
