The Wilds
The land answers to no banner.
Lore
Long before the great races drew their borders, the wild places were already full. Sellswords drift between the warring kingdoms selling their blades to the highest bidder; ancient troll-vaults trade relics to any hero bold enough to approach; spirit-fed pools mend the wounded and the weary. And in the dark between settlements lurk the creeps - kobolds, wolves, trolls and ogres that answer to no crown and guard their hoards with tooth and claw. The Wilds cannot be commanded, only contested, courted, or culled.
Mercenary Champions
Recruited at The Crossroads Tavern (The Broken Keystone), these six wandering champions answer to no king or high council. Any faction may hire them into their ranks, governed by their Town Hall level hero capacity.

Dead Man PlankMercenary Camps
Scattered across every map, mercenary camps hire out neutral troops for gold alone. Move a hero next to a camp to recruit (a naval unit for the Pirate Platform). Each camp holds limited stock that slowly replenishes over time.

A neon-lit goblin casino. Move a hero within range and spend a fixed price per gear slot to gamble for a fully-random, level-scaled item — the rarer it rolls, the more affixes, elemental enchants and procs it gets. The house always wins, but sometimes you do too.

Prices are the base (level-1) gamble cost per slot and rise gently with the hero's level. Item level scales with the nearby hero's level (max at 10). Rarer rolls add more affix slots, stronger elemental enchants and on-hit procs — and the stats are tailored to the hero's class.
Try Your Luck
Creep Camps
Hostile monster lairs guard the map's richest ground. Creeps leash to their camp rather than chase forever, respawn while the lair stands, and reward those who clear them with gold bounties and item drops. Higher-tier camps hit far harder.
Kobold DenTier 1
A burrowed warren of weak but numerous kobolds. A good first camp to farm for early loot.
40
70Wolf DenTier 1
A bone-littered lair. Wolves are weak alone but hunt in fast, dangerous packs.
60Bear CaveTier 2
A tanky dire bear and its wolf companions guard this den. Bring numbers.
18060Troll HutTier 2
A tribal troll camp with brawlers, headhunters and a regenerating shaman.

170Ogre MoundTier 3
A high-tier camp of brutal ogre bruisers and spell-slinging ogre magi. Rich rewards, real danger.

350Pirate WreckTier 2
A half-sunken hulk crewed by hostile pirate ships. The naval creep camp.

420150Ancient RunestoneTier 3
An ancient rune-carved monolith that raises slow, heavily-armoured Rune Golem guardians while it stands — shatter it to stop the golems.
220Dungeon Bosses
At the heart of every dungeon waits a boss — a colossal guardian standing between you and the hoard. They hit with telegraphed special attacks you must dodge, shrug off ordinary blows, and drop a guaranteed legendary item when they finally fall. Slaying one pays out a huge gold bounty and a wave of hero experience.
500 bountyGuards the Easy and Medium dungeon crawls — a mountain of muscle whose ground-shaking slam strikes everything around him. The first true wall standing between you and the deep-hall hoard.
900 bountyLord of the Hard dungeons. A primordial reptile that spits long-range molten breath (and shrugs off fire in return), scorching whole clusters of units at once. Only the best-geared raiding party walks away.
700 bountyThe campaign’s final boss — the ancient will behind the runestones. It raises the Rune Golems and reshapes the ground itself, hammering its foes with earth-shattering, telegraphed slams.
Magic Pools
Neutral fountains found on most maps. Hold the ground around them and your forces are healed or replenished for free.
A spirit-fed spring that steadily restores the health of any units standing in its aura.
An arcane font that regenerates the mana of nearby spellcasters and heroes.
Waygates
A pair of ancient arches standing far apart on the same map, linked to one another. Nobody owns them and nothing can bring them down — march an army into one and it walks out of the other, which turns a map’s longest flank into a single step.
Monuments
A single ancient marker stands at the heart of the map, owned by nobody and impossible to destroy. Stand your army around it to claim it; hold it long enough and you win outright. It wears the face of whatever ground it stands on — a moss-furred stone ring under the old canopy, a sun-scoured obelisk in the desert, a drowned colossus in open water — and each of those is a separate structure with its own art.
On land
In deep water
Where the middle of the map is open water, the Monument is a different thing entirely: a drowned colossus, the head and shoulders and one raised arm of a titanic statue breaking the surface, holding aloft the same glyph-stone the land Monument carries on its dais. That stone is all the two have in common. Taking one is a naval fight — transports, warships, and no ground army to lean on.
Relics
Scattered across the map lie ancient relics — no owner, no guard, no way to build one. A hero walks one up and carries it home; carriers glow gold and are visible to everyone, so the moment you have one, every enemy on the map knows exactly where it is going. Bank enough of them at your Altar and the match is yours. Kill the carrier and the relic drops where they fell, for anyone to take.
Wildlife
Harmless critters wander the map for flavour, varying by terrain. They do nothing but scatter when disturbed.
