A list of the adventure map structures in Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

Attribute modifier[]

Name	Description	Flavour Text
Arena	The hero gains +3 melee and ranged defense.	The instructor hands [hero] an old, dented shield and nothing else. Then the instructor pulls out a sword wrapped in cloth and says, "Try not to get hit!" An hour later, [hero] is a bit battered and bruised, but he/she has learned a little something about defense. If visited after gaining the bonus: As much as the instructors would love to beat on you some more, they turn you away to give other inexperienced students the opportunity.
Buoy	Provides +1 morale for the next battle that the hero fights.
Faerie ring	Provides +1 luck for the next battle that the hero fights.	Not sure what to expect, you step into the Faerie Ring. Immediately, your worries disappear. You laugh and play with the childlike faeries, having such a great time that you never want to leave. Alas, the time comes for you to move on, but you feel a little luckier. If visited after gaining the bonus: Sure, you enjoy frolicking with the Faeries, but you simply don't have the time to play right now.
Fountain of Fortune	Provides +1 luck for the next battle that the hero fights.	Those who toss a copper coin into a Fountain of Fortune are granted a temporary increase to their luck. If visited after gaining the bonus: You could toss a fortune into this Fountain of Fortune, but it will not make you any luckier until the effects of your pervious visit wears off.
Idol of Fortune	Provides +1 morale for the next battle that the hero fights.	A lost civilization created this Idol of Fortune. Not much is known about that ancient society, but everyone knows a simple touch of the Idol will improve your day. If visited after gaining the bonus: You touch the Idol of Fortune, but you don't feel any different from before. Come back after your next battle.
Learning stone	Gives 1000 experience to a visiting hero. Can be visited once per hero.	The mystical powers of the Learning Stone are still unknown, but a hero who stares into its surface benefits from the experience of those who have visited it in the past. [Hero] learns much from the brief moment she looks at the Stone. If visited after gaining the bonus: Unfortunately, the powers of a Learning Stone can only be used once, and you have already visited this one.
Mercenary camp	Grants a one-time bonus of +3 to the speed skill of visiting heroes.	[Hero] drills with some of the new mercenaries and learns that these men stress fast reflexes over strength. After some extensive lessons, his/her combat speed improves. If visited after gaining the bonus: The mercenaries welcome you back to their camp, but they explain that there is nothing more you can learn from them.
Tree of Knowledge	Provides an extra level for any hero that visits it, for either 2500 gold or 5 gems.	The branches of this massive, ancient tree sway back and forth even though there is no wind. And then you hear a disembodied voice say, "If you have come for the knowledge of the tree, place [amount resources] in the ground beneath me! After paying: You bury [amount resources] among the roots of the Tree of Knowledge and immediately advance a level!"
Witch's hut	Heroes can visit the hut to learn a magic secondary skill.	You sit down with the crone who lives in this Witch's Hut, giving her a few moments of your time. She is so pleased to have someone to talk to that she gives you a tiny vial. "Drink it!" she tells you. "That little potion will teach you [magic skill]. After confirming: You know you shouldn't be drinking potions from a strange witch, but you throw caution to the wind and gulp down the entire vial. Suddenly, you are skilled in [magic skill]. If hero already knows the skill: You drink the crone's potion and cringe at its bitter aftertaste. "Oh, my!" says the old woman. "You can't learn [magic skill] twice. Too bad!
Sacred Fountain	The hero gains +3 spell points.	[Hero] takes a sip from the Sacred Fountain's cool water, and his/her spell points immediately increase. If visited after gaining the bonus: A hero can only benefit from a Sacred Fountain once, and you have already visited this one.
Training Grounds	The hero gains +3 attack.	The Training Master calls [hero] out in front of everyone for a sparring match. By the time the match is over, [hero] has learned a few things about combat as well as gained a few new bruises. If visited after gaining the bonus: The Training Master turns you away because you have already studied at this location. It's time to let others benefit from his experience.
Dream Teacher	Gives 500 experience to a visiting hero, plus 500 more for each other Dream Techer they've visited this map. Can be visited once per hero.	[Hero] sits beneath the giant rat head of the Dream Teacher, closes his/her eyes, and suddenly finds herself inside a room with bookshelves lining every wall. There are no doors! For what seems like days, a cloaked figure reveals the secrets of those many books. Then [hero] wakes to find only a few seconds have passed! If visited after gaining the bonus: You sit beneath the Dream Teacher but you are unable to fall asleep. Prehaps you have already learned all that it can teach.
Spring of Speed	Grants a temporary bonus of +2 to the speed skill of visiting heroes.	Where does the power of this Spring of Speed come from? No one knows. But if you walk barefoot through the cool water it will increase your speed temporarily. If visited after gaining the bonus: As you try to step into the Spring of Speed, the surface of the water suddenly becomes as solid as steel. It won't allow you in until the effects of your previous wading wears off.
Pool of Power	Grants a temporary bonus of +20% damage and +20% hit points to visiting heroes.	You submerge yourself completely in the mystical waters of the Pool of Power, holding your breath for as long as you can. Its magical energy courses through your body as it grants you a temporary increase to both your damage in combat and your hit points. If visited after gaining the bonus: The water itself squeezes you tight, drawing you beneath its surface. Just when you think you are about to drown, it throws you to the muddy banks of the Pool - a reminder not to be greedy.
Fountain of Vigor	Grants a temporary bonus of +20% hit points to visiting heroes.	Some believe this fountain gathers its powers from deep within the earth. As you bathe in the surprisingly warm water, you feel it seep into your pores, giving you a temporary increase to your hit points. If visited after gaining the bonus: No matter how many times you bathe in the Fountain of Vigor, it will not grant you any additional benefit until the original effects wear off. At least you smell good.
Fountain of Strength	Grants a temporary bonus of +20% damage to visiting heroes.	It is told that a Barbarian war good once washed his wounds in this fountain. Ever since, any who drink its cool water gains a temporary increase to the damage they do in combat. If visited after gaining the bonus: The water is refreshing, but its magic already courses through your muscles.
Sapphire of Defense	Grants a one time boost of +6 defense.	You pick up the Sapphire of Defense and have enough time to wonder about its worth when its power seeps into your skin. All that is left of the gem is a lifeless gray rock.
Opal of Magic	Grants a one time boost of +6 spell points.	As you admire the beauty of this Opal of Magic, a sudden flash leaves spots before your eyes. Then the Opal disappears, bestowing its power upon you!
Emerald of Speed	Grants a one time boost of +2 speed.	The moment you touch the Emerald of Speed it floats out of you grasp and flies in circles around your body. Soon, it becomes a green blur, surrounding you, absorbing you! And just as quickly it disappears.
Ruby of Offense	Grants a one time boost of +6 attack.	One moment you were holding the Ruby of Offense, the next it melts into a pool of hot ooze! The liquid drips between your fingers, staining your skin as it grants you its incredible power.
School of Magic	Teaches one of the two magic skills for 2000 gold.	The instructors at this School of Magic believe strongly in specialization. Hence, they will only teach you one skill. You have your choice, of course, but afterwards you can never study here again. What do you want to learn? After paying: You count out the tuition fee for [magic skill] class and someone points the way. You best hurry. Class is in session! If visited after learning a skill: The doorman at this School of Magic asks your name and immediately consults his admissions list. Finally, he shakes his head, rudely refusing to allow you inside.
Magic University	Teaches up to four different magic skills for 2000 gold.
Library	Enhances one of the magic skills for 2000 gold.	The librarian quietly explains the long list of rules here at the Library. However, all that matters to you is that, for a small fee, you can study just about any magic-related topic. After paying: You count out the tuition fee for class and someone points the way. You best hurry. Class is in session! If visited after the enhancement: You convince the Librarian to show you a list of the volumes stored in this Library. Quickly, you come to realize that you have already read many of these books and you have no interest in reading the rest."
School of War	Teaches one of the two might skills for 2000 gold.	At this School of War, you can train with some of the best-known heroes in the land. You study a list of faculty names, recognizing most of them. For a mere 2000 gold you could learn a new skill and later share a tankard with a famous warrior! After paying: You count out the tuition fee for [might skill] class and someone points the way. You best hurry. Class is in session! If visited after learning a skill: One of the teaches exists the School of War as you're walking in. He stops to examine your face, and then suddenly recognition dawns on him. "You shouldn't be studying here!" he says. "There is nothing for you to learn here."
War University	Teaches up to four different might skills for 2000 gold.
Veteran's Guild	Enhances one of the might skills for 2000 gold.	When a soldier or hero becomes too old to spar with the younger adventurers, they usually become members of the Veteran's Guild. But their vast knowledge isn't lost. For a fee, they can teach you how to improve one of your non-magic skills. After paying: You pay the proper fee and sit down with one of the veterans, learning much in a short time. If visited after the enhancement: It's fun talking to the old heroes about their incredible (and certainly exaggerated) accomplishments, but tall tales are about the only thing you can learn here."
Beastmaster's Hut	Heroes can visit the hut to learn a [might skill].	The old Beastmaster presents to you a crude bowl filled with huge, coppery beetles. "Those are magical war beetles!" he says "Very rare. Very potent. If you eat one, you will learn [might skill]." Who will eat the beetles? After confirming: Since you've never tasted beetle before, you plop one of the big insects in your mouth and crunch down, immediately learning [might skill] If hero already knows the skill: The old Beastmaster presents to you a crude bowl to you filled with huge, coppery beetles. "Those are magical war beetles!" he says. "Very rare. Very potent. If you eat one, you will learn something about [might skill]."

They wouldn't make you any luckier even if you had a thousand of them tucked into your clothes. Come back again after your next battle.

Blessing Stone	Provides +1 morale and +1 luck for the next battle that the hero fights.

The effects from the last time you kissed the Blessing Stone still haven't worn off.
Rainbow	Provides +2 luck for the next battle that the hero fights.	Sure, everyone has seen a Rainbow, but few actually find the spot where it begins. This must be your lucky day!

Temple of Life	Provides +2 morale to Life aligned units, and +1 morale to Order and Nature aligned units.	If visited by Life, Order or Nature units: You approach the Temple of Life with solemn reverence and kneel before it. As you begin praying you feel a presence watching over you, removing all your fears and doubts. If visited by Might, Death and Chaos units: Upon entering this Temple of Life, you are momentarily stunned by a blinding light. A smothering warmth envelops your body, so you bolt back outside before that self-righteous goodness overpowers you.
Temple of Order	Provides +2 morale to Order aligned units, and +1 morale to Life and Death aligned units.	If visited by Order, Life or Death units: Of course, there are papers to be signed first, but the priests of this Temple of Order agree to allow you exactly fifteen minutes of prayer. That should be enough time for you to gain the benefits this Temple has to offer. If visited by Might, Nature and Chaos units: So sterile! It's as if the architect of this Temple of Order took great pains to ensure that this structure had no personality whatsoever. You're afraid that if you enter it, you will become as rigid and bland as those who pray here.
Temple of Nature	Provides +2 morale to Nature aligned units, and +1 morale to Life and Chaos aligned units.	If visited by Nature, Life or Chaos units: You catch the smell of jasmine and lavender as you enter the Temple of Nature. Hummingbirds flit above you, and a family of rabbits hop by your feet. You drop to one knee, scoop up a handful of rich soil, and pray for the courage of a bear. If visited by Might, Order and Death units: The unkempt wilderness of this Temple of Nature resembles a campground more than a place of worship. There are no sacred artifacts here - in fact, nothing at all but dirt, rocks, and foul-smelling plants. You wonder why would anyone would pray in such a mundane place as you kick a pesky bunny out of your way.
Temple of Death	Provides +2 morale to Death aligned units, and +1 morale to Order and Chaos aligned units.	If visited by Death, Order or Chaos units: You leave your offering at the door and enter the Temple of Death. Inside, you are swallowed by darkness and the stench of rotting flesh. The dark power of this place feeds on you, drinking in your energy. And in return it promises that you will win your next battle. Of course, it could be lying, but you won't know until it is too late. If visited by Might, Life and Nature units: You can barely stand to look upon the foul edifice of this Temple of Death without retching. What depraved soul could worship at such an unholy place? If only you could cleanse the world of such atrocities.
Temple of Chaos	Provides +2 morale to Chaos aligned units, and +1 morale to Nature and Death aligned units.	If visited by Chaos, Nature or Death units: No one maintains this Temple of Chaos, but then no priest is needed either. Here, you worship in whatever way you want. You can set the altar on fire or paint your name in blood on the wall. There are no rules, and you find such freedom empowering. If visited by Might, Life and Order units: As you cautiously enter the unstable structure that passes for the Temple of Chaos, you wonder how anyone can possibly pray here. There's so much filth on the floors you can barely walk. And what's that on the altar, scorch marks? You quickly leave before the walls come crashing down around you or some madman decides to use you as a sacrifice.

Spell-related[]

Name	Image	Description	Flavour Text
Shrine	Level 1 Shrines	Teaches a spell of the appropriate level and school, as long as the hero has the correct skills needed to learn it.	Slowly, you touch the Shrine with both hands. An energy passes through your skin, enveloping you. Sensing your familiarity with [School] magic, it passes on knowledge of this mystical place. If spell is already known: You place your hands on the Shrine, but as its magical energy flows through your body you realize that you already possess its knowledge. If the hero doesn't have the right skills: When you touch this Shrine of Magic, you feel an energy flow quickly into and out of your body, leaving your knees weak. You realize you must be trained in [required skill] before you can study here.
Magic well		Restores the hero's spell points equal to 35% of the maximum amount.	Ancient wizards found a way to tap pockets of mana just like someone taps a pool of underground water. So, they created Magic Wells such as this one to replenish some of the spell points they use in battle.
Fountain of Magic		Restores the hero's spell points equal to 50% of the maximum amount.	A Fountain of Magic used to be found only around libraries of magic. Oddly, even though those libraries are long gone, the Fountains remain. You take a drink of the icy water, replenishing some of your spell points.
Magician's Pool		Restores the hero's spell points equal to 65% of the maximum amount.	The process of creating a Magician's Pool is guarded by only a few powerful wizards. Simply by dunking your face into the shimmering water, you regain some of your spell points.
Lake of the Scarlet Swan		Restores the hero's spell points equal to 80% of the maximum amount.	The Scarlet Swan - mystical beast known as much for its fickle personality as its magical ability. When they come to lakes like this one to breed, they enchant the water with the power to replenish a person's spell points.
Magic spring		Restores the hero's spell points equal to 100% of the maximum amount.	Most sages believe Magic Springs were constructed by gods. Perhaps that's why they are unbreakable and the water that flows endlessly from them is capable of fully replenishing one's spell points.
Mana vortex		Doubles the hero's maximum spell points.	Historians believe that primitive spellcasters were capable of harnessing magical forces, thus creating Mana Vortexes. When you step through the swirling energy, your skin pulses with supercharged magic.
Conservatory	Conservatory of Nature	Sells parchments containing spells of the structure's school.

Movement modifiers[]

Name	Description	Flavour Text
Rally flag	Grants +1 movement on visit once per day and for 28 days afterwards.	Rally Flags indicate spots where travelers come together and tell stories about their experiences on the open road.

Stables	Grants +5 movement on visit once per day and for 7 days afterwards.	Fresh horses make all the difference when traveling, so you stop by these Stables to trade your tired steed for a new one.
Trough	Grants +7 movement on visit once per day.	It may only be rain water, but a thirsty party doesn't move too fast. You stop briefly, drink your fill, and continue your journey.

Barbarian's Camp	Grants +2 movement on visit once per day and removes the terrain penalty on Rough for 7 days.

As you trade your mount for one of these new ones, however, you learn that after seven days they tend to become exhausted and should be exchanged.
Desert Hut	Grants +2 movement on visit once per day and removes the terrain penalty on Sand for 7 days.	The desert people use special mounts capable of trotting with ease across the sand. They will increase your movement over desert terrain, but be warned, they are only good for seven days.
Wet Log Inn	Grants +2 movement on visit once per day and removes the terrain penalty on Swamp for 7 days.	An old woman dwelling at the Wet Log Inn knows how to brew a foul concoction that will make your mount lighter and capable of passing quickly over muddy swamps. She guards her secrets well and won't sell them at any price. She warns you, however, that her potion will wear off in seven days.
Winter Lodge	Grants +2 movement on visit once per day and removes the terrain penalty on Snow for 7 days.	In exchange for some good stories, the owner of the Winter Lodge gives you one of his special steeds capable of traveling faster and farther over the snowy landscape than normal horses.
