Heroes III tents
The keymaster's tent is an adventure map structure in the Heroes of Might and Magic series. First appearing in Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Price of Loyalty under the name traveller's tent, it was renamed in Heroes III and also appears in Heroes IV and Heroes V.
After a hero visits a keymaster's tent, all of the player's heroes will be able to go through the border gates and border guards of the corresponding color.

Traveller's tents and barriers
"Each barrier requires a different password to open. The password is randomly chosen each time the map is started from the beginning. The password is learned from a traveler living in the tent."
—Heroes II manual
Visiting a traveller's tent provides the password for the similarly-colored barrier. The game gives an actual password that the player has to remember and type in to open the barrier. If they forget the code, they have to revisit the traveller's tent.
Once the barrier has been opened, any player can pass through, so there is no need to visit the traveller's tent anymore.
There are eight colors for the tents and barriers: aqua, blue, brown, gold, green, orange, purple, and red.

Border guard[]
Heroes III border guards
The border gate is similar to the barrier from The Price of Loyalty. Once it is opened, any hero can pass through, regardless of whether they've visited a tent or not.
Border gate[]
Heroes III border gates
Unlike border guards, border gates won't disappear after a hero travels through them. Instead, they'll remain impassable for any player that lacks the password.
