Campaing Mission names?
Ok, today I installed Heroes 6 for the first time and finished the Slava prologue. So I open to see the campaigns and I start playing Kiril only to notice his first mission was titled "Angel, Angel, Burning Bright". So I open the Might&Magic Wiki and see that all the Kiril missions were titled after William Blake Poems, Anton missions from Shakespeare and Sandor's missions from movies(No Country for Old Men and The Good, The Bad the Ugly) only I can't seem to co-relate the titles "The Barbarous Seven" and "A Wormful of Demons" to the original movie titles).
Ok. I found the sources of inspiration for all campaing mission titles(except from prologue seems not to have an inspiration).
Haven Campaign mission names are inspired by Shakespeare's Works:
Something is Rotten - Hamlet (Something's Rotten in Denmark...)
Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Macbeth
Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Romeo and Juliet
A Battle Lost and Won - Macbeth
Necropolis Campaign mission names are inspired by songs:
In the Wake of Adversity - Song in the Album "Dead Can Dance" (another possible inspiration may be In The Wake of Gods)
Towards the Within - Song in the Album "Into the Labyrinth"
Circumradiant Dawn - Song in the Album "Spleen and Ideal"
The Spider`s Stratagem - Song in the Album "Into the Labyrinth"
Sanctuary Campaign mission names are inspired by W.B.Yeats poems.
The Fury and the Mire - Stanza in "Byzantium"
The Winding Stair - Poem of 1933
The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Stanza in "The Second Coming"
Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Stanza in "Byzantium"
Stronghold Campaign mission names are inspired by western movies.
No Country for Orc Friends - No Country for Old Men
The Good, The Bad, The Bloody - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
The Barbarous Seven - The Magnificent Seven
A Wormful of Demons - A Handful of Dollars
Inferno Campaign mission names are inspired by William Blake Poems:
Angel, Angel, Burning Bright! - First stanza of The Tyger is "Tyger! Tyger! Burning Bright!"
Fearful Symetry - Third and Fourth Stanzas of The Tyger is "What immortal hand or eye can frame thy fearful symetry?"
In the Forests of the Night - 2nd stanza of The Tyger.
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Another poem by William Blake
Bonus Campaign mission names, "Tears Such As Angels Weep" and "Dark With Excessive Bright" are taken from John Milton's Paradise Lost.
Pirates of the Savage Sea mission names are inspired from pirate movies:
The Fortunes of Captain Hack - Fortunes of Captain Blood
The King of the Savage Sea - Pirates of the High Seas
Danse Macabre mission names are inspired from E.A.Poe's Work:
The Fall of the House of Bull - The Fall of the House of Usher
The Mask of the Black Death -The Masque of the Red Death
Raelag mission names are inspired from Lovecraft's work:
The Other Elves - The Other Gods
The Call of Malassa - The Call of Cthulhu
The Quest of the Unknown Tear - The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
The Doom That Came to Konos - The Doom That Came to Sarnath
Vein Mission names are taken from Lord Byron's poem "Darkness":
A Selfish Prayer for Light - "Were chilled into a selfish prayer for light"
A Fearful Hope - "A fearful hope was all the World contained"
The Pall of a Past World - "The pall of a past world; and then again"
A Dream Which Was Not All A Dream - "I had a dream, which was not all a dream"

You ever heard about "The Magnificent Seven" and "A Fistful of Dollars"?

I was wondering, what about Anastasya and Irina missions, what are they named after?
I will check it later.

By the way, I was also interested in the DLCs/Shader of Darkness Campaigns.
I.e. the first mission in the Danse Macabre seems to be named after Edgar Allan Poe's Fall of House Usher.

Ok, here you have: Necropolis and Sanctuary.
I thought I seen references also somewhere else, but I can't find them right now.
Anyway, below map name you have reference written in grey text (between Chinese words).
As for DLCs and Add-On, I really don't know and I don't care.
EDIT:
OK, here you have DLCs' and XP's campaigns: Pirates of the Savage Sea, Danse Macabre, Raelag, Vein.
