Elemental Altars are dwellings from the Heroes of Might and Magic series. They have appeared in every game since The Price of Loyalty and allow heroes to recruit elementals.
In Heroes II, Heroes III, and Heroes IV, there are separate structures for each type of elemental. In Heroes V and Heroes VI, there is only one structure called the elemental conflux, where each type of elemental can be hired. The elemental conflux also appears in Heroes III.
In Heroes III, these dwellings are slightly larger than normal (three tiles instead of two) and also lack a flag to visually indicate which player owns them, but they otherwise function identically to other dwellings. The Armageddon's Blade expansion also added alternative dwellings for each of the elementals to coincide with Conflux becoming a town, which feature a flag to indicate ownership and also are the standard size for the purpose of random maps. The elemental conflux was not adjusted to sell Psychic elementals, despite them being introduced in this expansion.
In Heroes IV, elementals can additionally be purchased in a Preserve town that has constructed the Creature Portal.
