Tavern
Tavern
Provides the ability to recruit heroes, hear rumours, and visit the Thieves' guild.
Recuriting heroes
Heroes can be bought from the tavern at the price of 2500 Gold. At the beginning of each week two new heroes will become available, one of which will always be from the town you began with (unless all the heroes from your town are already taken). If you buy a hero, another hero will become available in its place, but it will only have a single creature and may be from any town.
Hearing rumours
Above the selection of heroes is a small box containing rumours. For the most part you don't need to pay any attention to this but it may be occasionally helpful. Mapmakers are allowed to enter as many of their own rumours as they see fit, some may be helpful in the sense they reveal the location of treasures and points of interest.
For example this rumour can be found in the map A Viking we shall go! from the Shadow of Death expansion: In the North Sea, to west of Eire there is said to be a graveyard of dead ships.
There are also default rumours that you may find useful as well. Some reveal the terrain that the Grail is buried under and others point out which player has the most artifacts.
Adventure map
There is also a tavern available of the adventure map as well. It resembles the tavern of the Castle town. It works the same as a regular tavern.
Trivia: In the original ROE game, the heroes available in one of the on-map taverns would be different from the ones available in your castle. But they changed this in a patch.
