Hopewielder is the first scenario in Revolt of the Beastmasters, the seventh part of Heroes Chronicles. The Ancestors sent Tarnum to free the Mudlanders from Erathian slavery. Disguised as a beastmaster, he entered the swamp with a sword in his hand to shatter the chains holding them down. With the aid of the freed slaves, Tarnum managed to overcome the Erathian forces of Lord Onsten.
