Quick notes
- The ruler and adviser anchor the campaign. The Overlord commands while Gnarl explains the minion realm.
- Tower residents are not ordinary squad slots. The Jester, Rose and Velvet belong to the household rather than the field horde.
- The corrupted heroes structure the journey. Opponents such as Melvin rule distinct parts of the world.
- Separate the original household from the sequel. Overlord II follows a different ruler and household, including Kelda, Juno and Fay.
