Our next map is of a checkpoint castle built on one of a series of floating islands. This location serves as an entry point into Crossland for those traveling by Spelljammers and airships. These cargo and transport vessels park along the docks to unload their contents for inspection and to gain clearance to enter the lands. Empyreal ships are also stationed here to locate and hunt down creatures from the outer planes that try to sneak into Crossland. In the event of aerial ambushes, Empyreal ...

Near the entrance of the graveyard is a mausoleum that emits a green glow at night.

To the north of Lakeside village lies a thriving fishery. While the lake itself boasts an abundance of fish, the experienced fishermen have found it beneficial to maintain small, contained ponds just off the shore. These ponds not only serve as nurseries for the fish in the spring but also act as a reserve for fresh catches during the harsh winter season, when navigating open waters becomes increasingly challenging due to ice.
The fishermen skillfully prepare their catch in a designated...

We are making another large village, so here is Part 1 of Lakeside. This section of the map features the entrance of the village, which is surrounded by wooden palisade walls armed with archers. The major road runs through the center of the village, with staircases leading down dirt paths and raised houses. Different trades can be found in this area: a butcher raising hens and fletching arrows used for hunting, a farmer growing wheat to be baked into bread, and a clothier wea...

For adventures traveling to Crossland, even air travel poses risks. Fleets of undead ships roam the skies, often ambushing under the cover of darkness and storms. Their main objective is to plunder for riches, but they won't turn down an opportunity to gather more skeletal material to expand their armada.
One idea to run this could be a two-stage battle where players begin their journey on an airship and eventually venture into dangerous weather. Due to poor visibility, they are surpris...

Here is Clearwater Falls Sawmill, just outside of Emberhill. Shipments of lumber are delivered here to be processed into planks, a service that has been in high demand after attacks from the guardians. The river is strong enough to power the sawmill thanks to a waterfall further upstream, giving this mill its namesake.

Presenting a new map featuring a three-floored Fort. A wooden bridge grants safe passage across a rapidly flowing river. Explosive barrels are left on the bridge as a warning to those who seek to invade the fortress. A double gated portcullis operated by winches in each tower provides the next line of defense. Guards keep a watchful eye of the land both from atop the stone walls and through occasional patrols.
Inside, other guards can be found practicing their archery o...

Hello everyone!
Trouble runs amok throughout Crossland, and not just because of guardians and craglings. Bandits roam the land, looking for riches while hiding from the law. Some settle in ruins, trying to swindle travelers of their coin. Other groups lay claim to their territory by constructing large camps complete with towers and wooden defensive walls.

From within the guardian's skull, players can discover a cave. Lying in a deep pit just short of the entrance is an abandoned drill. Players can discover this device was part of a ploy enacted by the Family in Emberhill. By rigging the same guardians made to protect the gemstones with drills that bore into the earth, the Family could divert the attention of the native Craglings in order to safely continue mining for gems beneath Emberhill. It seems as though this machinery has been deactivate...
