The story for Tribes of the East is that an orc hero named Quroq emerges to lead the bastion tribes out of captivity and to a new home, and if he has to wipe out everyone in his path to do so, so be it. According to Might and Magic history, the orcs were created to battle demons, and they, along with the other bastion races, were enslaved by their masters afterward. The orcs actually are part of the new bastion faction, which includes other races such as goblins, centaurs, Cyclopes, and wyverns. Tribes of the East is a stand-alone expansion that will let you campaign as part of the new bastion faction. Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East, a stand-alone expansion that will not require you to own the original game, will let you explore a magical world with an army composed of heroes and fantasy units-only this time, you'll finally get a chance to play from the perspective of the brutish orcs.
Ubisoft and developer Nival Interactive will look to wrap up the Heroes of Might and Magic V saga with the release of the second expansion pack to last year's turn-based fantasy strategy game.
