Addition from 10.03.2006: Nival posted some translated information about artifacts on the official Russian website:

Artifacts

Artifacts can be found on the strategic map; they help heroes during battles or travels. Each hero has a limited number of slots (9 in total), but possesses a bottomless backpack. For example, you may find a sword, an axe, and a staff on the adventure map, but you cannot equip the hero with all these items simultaneously, so you will have to decide which one the hero will hold in their right hand and which will remain in the bag. However, you can change your hero's equipment at any time.

Artifacts are of great importance, helping to successfully navigate critical situations; furthermore, they can grant heroes abilities that they have not yet managed to master.

Here are a few artifacts that you may find during your travels.

Turban of Enlightenment

Turban of Enlightenment allows you to increase your experience by 20%. This is a very valuable artifact for inexperienced heroes, as it helps them quickly reach a new level.

Necklace of Victory

Necklace of Victory adds +2 to Spellpower and the ability to attack the enemy. This artifact is ideal for Sylvan heroes who want to balance their natural skills and abilities (Defense and Knowledge), or for Dungeon heroes who can refine their traditionally strong skills.

Trident of the Titans

Trident of the Titans increases the damage dealt by a hero's lightning-based spells by 50%. This artifact will be useful for any hero with magical abilities who wants to increase their power on the battlefield.

Wand of the Titans

The Wand is imbued with the energy of special spells, and they can be used once or several times, even if the hero has not yet learned these spells. If you find such an artifact during your search, it may prove very useful, especially for a hero who has not developed their magical abilities. The ability to use just one spell can fundamentally change the course of a battle.

Additions and corrections are welcome.

P.S. In the release of Heroes 5, the system and number of artifacts may be changed. Everything published here is based only on the beta version.
