Crimson Castle - Champion Tier

Surrounded by a moat and sealed off from the general public, this towering castle is a nearly impenetrable fortress. Each tower is patrolled and armed with a ballista. The keep itself stands even above the foreboding walls, rising into the clouds. They say that the castle can house an army, and over the last century, none have attempted to lay siege upon the site. The Crimson Castle is indeed the largest and most formidable castle in all the realms.

Even though one less person voted for it, the double and triple counted votes of Champions, Masters and Legends made it the clear choice. ...

Cutlass Island - August 2021

Ahoy, you have spotted Cutlass Island! It is a small but formidable jungle isle claimed by the Crossed Key Trading Company. These pirates and thieves parading as merchants have transformed the island into a fortified headquarters. There are cannon lined ramparts on the topside and a dungeon complex that runs beneath the entire island. It is a pirates den through and through, complete with shops, services, entertainment and treasure holds. But be wary for there are just as many trickeries, tra...

Fey Realm - July 2021

At first you were thought you were just walking through a beautiful forest, but then all of the trees and foliage changed. The wilderness that is before you now is more vibrant, the colors are alive and the forest seems to move and breath. Motes of light flit about on their own and you spy plants unlike any identified before. In the distance you hear a hauntingly familiar tune and every so often there are tiny laughs from the bushes. Did you not see the magical gate that clearly marks the ent...

Fey Realm - Champion Tier

This ground covering is the densest you have ever seen in any forest. Then you look up and spot the treehouses that blend in perfectly with the natural background. The wooden suspension bridges that connect them allow for easy travel in relative safety. All the treehouses seem to converge on a single great tree in the center. This two story living monolith is filled with life. Not far from the treehouse village you find several odd colored pools surrounded by giant mushrooms, and then just be...

Milestone Reached! 50 Patrons

Huzzah, we have exceeded 50 Patrons! My second goal has been reached. THANK YOU all so very much or your support, inspiration and continued encouragement. You all are making this journey so much fun. It has only been about six months and we are at the second goal. Honestly it has come so quickly that I am surprised. But a good cartographer always has more maps in his portfolio. So, to celebrate this milestone I will be releasing another FREE map: the Forgotten Dungeon. This maps was done as p...

FREE Map - Arctic Pond [40x30] - Day & Night

An arctic pond, untouched in the wilderness. A perfect scene for an ice fishing adventure. Or better yet, a landmark that leads to the entrance of the Ice Den. Perhaps its is a legendary hidden pond, that bequeaths a magic weapon to a great hero if they wait there all night. This wintry map should work for any cold weather campaign, it also fits in seamlessly with the Snowflake Fortress map set.

Snowflake Fortress - June 2021

Located in the frozen north, far from the hordes and warbands that threaten destruction, stands the Snowflake Fortress. An ice palace unlike any other, shaped like a snowflake at its base, the spires twist and climb into the frosty night air. This four tiered megalith is the perfect home for the Ice Queen and her cold minions. At night, the entire fortress illuminates with a teal green glow that can be seen for miles. They say that below the fortress is an icy dungeon and a c...

This is an alternate of the Swamp Cave - Center from the Mist Mire map set, in fact it is the original. For me, it seemed way too green so I re-did the water, which gave it a nicer contrast. This map may work just as well for some, so here it is. The map will align with the other Swamp Cave maps too. It is done in 2k resolution with the watermark.
