Producer of Heroes of Might & Magic series, New World Computing company, after releasing two additions to the third part of the game, decided to change the strategy a bit to create another saga. It is aimed rather at casual players, offering a range of relatively short campaigns with a low level of difficulty. The series uses a truncated engine Heroes III: The Shadow Of Death, devoid of multiplayer options and the ability to play single scripts. Individual parts of Chronicles can be treated as additional campaigns, but released in the form of stand-alone games, which do not require the third part of the saga to work.

The plot of the Heroes Chronicles series is an epic story about the fate of an immortal hero called Tarnum, presented in several separate episodes. Recognized as unworthy of the gates of paradise, our hero seeks redemption for the sins committed in earthly life, fighting evil and counting on the favor of the gods. We are still dealing with a classic turn-based strategy in a fantasy atmosphere, in which our prototype player develops his territory, expanding castles and gathering armies in order to lead them, together with other heroes, to fight with hosts of various enemies.

In this part of the saga, set just after the events of the Conquest Of The Underworld, ancestors send Tarnum on a mission to free the Muddy People. With the help of Brellick's gnola, Adamina's witch and the muddy people's Drogel, Tarnum organizes a rebellion and achieves his first successes, anticipating the reaction of the mad King Gryphonheart. He sends his son Niven to a certain death - this truth is revealed to Niven Tarnum, thus gaining his favour. Meanwhile, the erathianska nobility, dissatisfied with the king's rule, calls Nivena his new ruler. Together with Tarnum, they manage to destroy the last supporters of the crazy monarch. After losing a duel with the immortal Tarnum, Gryphonheart leaves the swamps.

Revolt Of The Beastmasters was released together with an episode of The Sword Of Frost in a package entitled Heroes Chronicles: The Final Chapters. The story of Tarnum continues in the feature layer of the fourth part of the HOM&M saga.
