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.
