Biography[]
Heroes III[]
Little is known about Lorelei's past. What is certain is that when she was young she wandered away from her home and disappeared into a a network of caves. A harpy hag finds her, she completely forgets her parents, and the creature raises her. She then becomes one of Nighon's overlords shortly before the invasion against Erathia. However, even before that, he made an attempt to gain more power, as she tried to usurp total domination. He had two opponents, one was Mutare and the other was Deemer. The battle for the power was eventually won by Mutare, who became the ruler of Nighon, Deemer and Lorelei became her minions. Lorelei later took part in the Restoration Wars, during the later stages of which the combined forces of Erathia, AvLee, and Bracada launched a counterattack against Nighon's forces after the liberation of Steadwick. She was defeated, but managed to retreat underground and only emerged later when Mutare wanted to rule the world. He fought against the immortal hero Tarnum, who in turn defeated both her and Mutare.
