The Autumn Lands – Map A

Added 2024-09-06 14:35:43 +0000 UTC

The Autum Lands lie to the south of the Midsummer Lands. I’ll be posting a series of interlocking hexmaps that I drew over the next few months. 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 about four 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. The style of these hexes is similar to those of the Midsummer Lands, but a bit darker / heavier in lines. One of the later maps in this series will link these maps to the Midsummer Lands.

This is the central map of the collected Autumn Lands – each map after this will sit on one side or another of this map, home to the City of Flowers on the coast, and to the City of Stone on the furthest island in the great Lake of Fairies. Two smaller settlements are on the shores of the lake – a large walled town built around a stone lighthouse with a magical beacon to the north, and the ruins of another city of stones south of the dwarven City of Stone on the island.

Other points of interest on this map include a small skull-themed fortress in a swamp, a “lost city of the ancients” in the badlands to the west, a walled forest to the north, and a monolithic tower on the larger island in the lake with incredible lines of sight.
