Some 'low-key' sites:

The Sword in the Stone: A sufficiently heroic unit may enter once and once only to claim a powerful magical sword. Generates an gem or two as well. If the sword is lost somehow, it will return to this site.

Vision's Path: All blinded or eyeless units are instantly healed the moment they enter the province. Magical eyes can be removed. Certain spells, like utterdark or blindness, won't work here. Sneaking in this province is a very bad idea.

The Tournament: Allows you to recruit a wide variety of archers, as well as dangerously precise ranger commanders.

Hall of Records: Allows you to view information about any pretender or hall of fame unit.

Freelancer's Guild: Cuts the cost of hiring mercenaries by 20%, and allows you to sell units for money.

Shop of Mysteries: Sells a selection of items, including some special ones only available at the shop.

Desert of Revelation: A mage entering here will lower the cost of researching enchantment and thaumaturgy by 20%. Or provide a 20% boost to research in these areas, depending on how you see it.
