| '''Terrain''' typically refers to one of the eight basic land types, which are grass, dirt, lava, subterranean, rough, sand, snow or swamp. Water and rock may also be considered as one of the basic terrains, although they cannot be traveled on by ordinary means. Traveling on water requires a [[boat]], while rock is impassable.

| == Magical terrains ==
| | '''Churchyard''' is an [[adventure map]] location, and commonly known as one of the [[creature bank]]s. It is guarded by 90 [[Zombie|Zombies]]. The reward is 2500 {{G}} and 1 [[minor]] artifact. |
| In addition to basic terrain types, there are several types of magical terrains, which can cover basic terrains providing additional features. Magical terrains typically affect [[combat]] or [[Spell|spellcasting]], with the exception of [[favorable winds]], which increases movement over water.
| |
| Only two magical terrains (Cursed Ground and Magic Plains) were in the original {{roe}}, the rest being introduced in {{sod}} expansion.
