The Autumn Lands Map D

Added 2024-11-08 16:26:29 +0000 UTC

The Autumn Lands lie to the south of the Midsummer Lands. This map sits above Map B and to the right of Map C (the map that connects the Autumn Lands to the Midsummer Lands). The goal of the Autumn Lands is to produce a series of commercial-use hexmaps that can be used in their entirety, or just one map for a specific adventure. There’s no set scale for these maps, and the items on the maps are not to scale with each other so we can see points of interest like towers, cities, and caves. If you really need a scale for this and don’t want to pick one yourself, go with six miles to the hex.

For this series, I’ve been working with the style I started putting together a couple of years ago where the rivers run along the hex borders – this allows for river travel to be great for exploration as you can see the hexes on each side of the river as you go.

This region is of the northern portion of the Mulberry Sea, which is thick with islands near the coast of the Autumn Lands. These islands are significantly less populated than those to the south, and are instead home to many ruins and scattered oddities that speak of older civilizations that no longer sail the Mulberry Sea.

Other points of interest around this map include towers of a lost city emerging from the sea in a section of shallows, the small volcanic isle to the southwest (which is supposedly a very recent addition to the sea, only erupting from the waters in the last hundred years or so – and due to the lack of other volcanic activity in the area, this implies that it might not be entirely natural), a number of standing stones, and two islands almost entirely covered in ruins.

I've also attached a low resolution composite map of the four existing Autumn Lands maps.
