The Forgotten Hero serves as a prologue to the Unlikely Allies series, delving into the origins of Alidor's turmoil, the rise of shadowy threats, and the adventures that set the stage for the epic to come.
The Forgotten Hero is best read after the graphic novel Alidor The Forbidden Friend written by Matthew Hillsdon and illustrated by Norm Chung. Follow wood elf ranger Richard Balmoth and his brother Jhona as they team up with dwarf Banbury Bale and the most cunning thief of all the goblin Wasiz to find what lurks in the dark clouds that are spreading over Alidor. Long before the republic and years prior to the Princess finding her pets, there were Watchers and here you have their tale. War and toil all hoped had passed with the Crown City encaged and their ilk no more, but dark clouds spread northwards and beneath shadows spawn. Vampires muster and bats fly north, ignorant most are of this spreading threat. So come along and let us follow these fine few and see what sort of adventure ensues. For thieves are crafty and rangers far braver than that. To the Forgotten Vale we will go. Ahead of myself I get for our story hasn't quite started just yet. One last mission, yes, that's what they had hoped when the Seers sent them a note. So together they go to perform their final show.
