Appearing abandoned to passers-by, the towers contain mysteries to be unraveled...
Winter - we made it!
This map was a monster with 6 levels (+ roofs) across 4 seasons. The map itself in the source book had some peculiarities to reconcile and the grid and sizing was a bit of a challenge. Across all of this I've done my best to reproduce it as closely as possible to the book.

One of the big things to note is the force field around the outside - the book notes it as invisible but I wanted to add an effect to match the key art instead of hiding it - it also allows for a cleaner transition from snow to grass (as the book notes no fog, rain, snow, etc passes through the barrier. If you want the field to be a surprise, I'd suggest keeping the map hidden until someone tries to walk in (or jump a wall/dig under/etc).

Other mapping notes are that the grid is rotated slightly clockwise from the source to make it easier to play in a VTT - grids in the source itself are all over the place in both size and orientation so there was a lot of eyeballing and estimating to make this map. Features wise everything should match nicely with the book though!

I've also included .png files for the invisible stairs (both up and down) so you can keep those hidden until your players discover them.

Files. You will find the zip files attached below for all 6 levels (+roof), both day and night, in Roll20 Free, Roll20 Paid and Foundry VTT formats. Roll20Free is a .jpg < 5MB, Roll20Paid is a .jpg < 10MB, while Foundry formats are dd2vtt files. Roll20 maps are at 70 and 140 px per grid cell respectively and the Foundry files are 100px. There is also a DM overlay (transparent PNG image keyed to the source book) for all levels to make using the map easier.
