Baptism by Fire is a medium underground map measuring 72 by 72 tiles. It is presented as the first chapter of a campaign whose scenarios are linked by a common storyline. Eight rival houses compete for the title of ruler of the magic lands. The single human player, using the Rampart faction, must defeat the other seven computer-controlled factions one after another, and there are no teams. The map contains nine towns, one starting hero, and 61 mines. Wandering Black Dragon and Ancient Behemoth stacks roam the land, and the Grail is placed on the map alongside four Tomes of magic and several other artifacts. Rock covers about 39 percent of the terrain, with grass and water each near 14 percent. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the game is lost when every town and hero has been lost.
