Sancta Sanctorum [61x26]

Welcome, Fellow Darkish, veterans and new!

This week’s map is very special to us and hopefully for you too.

We arrived together, finally, at the Sancta Sanctorum of the Goddess Helatrex, the evil deity that we have presented in the Lore that has accompanied us for some months now. The end of our very first adventure!

Some of you requested rooms without doors, and we tried to accommodate you with this luxurious arena. The big bad guys, or the good guys that you’ll meet here, have certainly spared no expense in building it! 😬

This map concludes the Norogrod Cycle and, for now, the Akktraiser Chronicles, but don’t worry. From next week, we have in store for you pretty remarkable maps that we are sure you will love.

We will give you all the details of this new Darkest Maps project in the coming days, so stay with us to find out what we are up to.

We hope you have strong stomachs; it will be an explosive ending!

NOTES

• The Sancta Sanctorum is a luxurious room decorated and finished with precious materials. The light filters gently but vibrant from the colourful mosaics to the windows, and the central statue inspires positive feelings and peace in those who belong to the relative cult. The atmosphere is quiet, and voices and steps resound easily.
• The large spaces of the arena allow you freedom of movement. You do not limit yourself to humans, monsters that have made the area their den, ghosts that haunt it, and the like are great alternatives to get your players unexpected and original encounters. Some might even hire you to free this significant place of prayer from what has invaded it.
• Many ancient religions have very particular rites... and, also, very bloody! Do some research, and you will be surprised by how many original and exploitable ideas you will find.
• We avoided specific religious representations so you could exploit maps for sites of any race. We have modified some details to better adapt them to the various narrative possibilities you may want to bring on stage.
• Tanks filled with fluid could conceal aquatic animals or monsters. Wouldn't it be fun to see someone from the party in search of enemies looking around and suddenly caught by a foot by a big tentacle?
• The Sthealt could be difficult. Steps and voices could rumble in these wide spaces. You can try not to be noticed by using the colonnades, and the walls of the stairs to sneak up on your target...
• Some versions have deadly liquids, such as lava or toxic sewage. Be careful where you step. Falling in an attempt to take some treasure or during a fight might not be pleasant.
