The Autumn Lands - Hex Map C

The Autumn Lands lie to the south of the Midsummer Lands. This is the map that connects the two together – sitting just north of Map A of the Autumn Lands and connecting to the Midsummer lands along the north edge. 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 centred around a lake that was home to three cities, each constructed in a very different style. Two of these cities remain, the third reduced to ruins a few generations ago. Along the coast is a much smaller walled settlement with a magical lighthouse similar to the one seven hexes to the north along the shores of the Midsummer Lands – these structures are ridiculously tall so the magical “bubbling” lights (similar to a lava lamp in style, minus the lamp) can be seen across the waters for many hexes around.

Other points of interest around this map include a partially forested plateau to the south with massive monoliths surrounding some old ruins; the majority of the mushroom forest hinted at in map A; strange growths that seem to be a mix of fungus and hot air balloons in the swamps to the north (that appear to be at least somewhat related to the massive hive-like structures at the heart of the Midsummer Lands); and a pair of massive statues that point at each other from many miles apart – one in the mushroom forest, the other across the bay from the lighthouse.
