Add written bios or descriptions for wielders, towns, items and curios
One great aspect of Songs of Conquest is the fact each wielder in a faction has its own visual design (portrait, full-body portrait for the item window, animated model on the map) : it gives better clarity and personality to each hero, and often help easily guess what their strengths are.
That said, I feel like adding even more flavor to each hero, but also other elements of the game (items, towns or even curios) would make the world you have built even more expressive without having to play the campaigns to be aware of each element of the lore. This is something that the Heroes of Might & Magic series did quite well at least up until the fifth opus : each hero or town could have its window giving an idea in one or two paragraphs about their past, and below the title of items and curios, there was often a short description of its place in the world.
For Songs of Conquest, which uses different curios or items for similar effects, text would allow more uniqueness for each element.

HellslayerxMore lore, more lore.. they need to revamp UI to fit it properly. Perhaps some artwork too in descriptions.

KWillThere's clearly a lot of thought that went into who these characters are and it would be a shame if all of that was hidden away.

butttfaceYes agreed. Adding these things to the codex would be a great addition

Derrick PetersonI think this is a great idea that fits very organically into what is already present in the game.

AndreReading the lore for heroes/units was one of my favorite parts of HoMM; there is a lot of cool stuff here and I would love to be able to learn more about it in game!

RyuhiI would also really love to know a bit more about the wielders. Currently, you only get to learn about those who feature in the campaign and that leaves a number of really cool ones out. ^^ ;
