"The Kreegans" is a political designator.

The Kreegans are pretty much your traditional hellish demons in Heroes III. They are not space aliens from the sky, angels come from the sky.
Kreegans are as much a race as the Romans were a nation of ppl... the fact that they employed others in their armies and administration didn't make the others of roman blood.

Denial is such a wondrous thing...
Well, in a mission which I remember, the Kreegans come from below the earth, through a volcano, not from the sky.

Maybe originally they came from the sky, but now they live under the earth in hell.

H3AB mission 1 (Catherine's Charge):

Beyond these walls lies the dread land of Eeofol, a land of tremendous volcanic rifts and prodigious lava flows. Demons of all types and forms patrol the land, a land once fertile and green and populated by a peaceful race of little people called Halflings. That was until the Night of Shooting Stars when the Kreegans came. Now all that is left of their race is a few pocket villages. The demons scattered them to the four winds and turned them into an embittered people with little hope and no place to truly call home.

Eeofol, land of demons and devilkin. It is said that the Kreegans were a punishment from the gods for the sins committed by a people who strayed from the path of righteousness. The Night of Shooting Stars is seen by many as some sort of terrible omen of doom and despair. The once fertile land of Eeofol now lies burned and blackened, rivers of magma have replaced sparkling clear water and bubbling brooks now bubble with molten rock. It is a depressing sight indeed, but the need for perseverance has never presented itself more. King Lucifer must be stopped, else the whole of Antagarich suffer the same fate as the former homeland of the Halflings.

The blackened walls of the border gate that once protected these lands from the horrors that lay beyond now bears the heraldry of the Kreegan Clans of Eeofol. A sickening smell permeates the area, seeping beneath your clothing and into the pores of your skin. The noxious vapors of the volcanic lands of Eeofol have polluted the land and killed a great many trees. This is the fate that threatens to befall all of Erathia should the mad King Lucifer get his way. This is all you have to look forward to if you fail. This realization both terrifies you and strengthens your resolve.

Some info from MM6 (pointed part in one of pictures is nothing important - not for this topic):

Also in MM6 intro ("They came from the dephts of the Void - an ancient Enemy of the Ancient People...") cleary describe Kreegan's orgin ;). And if not - then Escaton from MM8 can tell you much more about Kreegan.

And remember one more thing - all info from H4 about Kreegan is from Gauldoth and half of his body was dead (and half of his brain too :devil: ).

It sounds something like the Fall of Lucifer from heavan. King Lucifer, hmmmmm.

I think that kind of makes sense in a way. The Kreegans were kicked out of heavan by the Angels/Ancients and fell to earth, causing devestation as they went.

They then kind of set up their own realm in a land of fire and magma.

The 'Angels' are the prison guards, sent by the Ancients to keep an eye on them and keep them in prison. They live in a realm in the sky.

Both Angels and Demons have in a sense degenerated, but are still very powerful.
