Sky Platform [39x49] + Biblically Accurate Angel Animated Token

After climbing a thousand floors, defeating the cultists of the Golden Tower or the Golden Dungeon, and entering the portal, you feel the cold. The wind blows strong here. The floor starts filling with golden cracks, and here it is: the statue of the God.

The Golden Angel has been calling you all this time and tried to convert you into the cult, but now is ready to fight.
The Angel is trying to free the God, who was exiled from the heavens a thousand years ago. Defeating the Angel wo...

Basalt Bridge

The heat is unbearable, the air is hot and burns your lungs. After hours of traveling through the scorching sparks of the lava that fill the basalt cave, you arrive at the bridge.
Though it is broken halfway across, molten creatures still use it as it was once intended, as a toll for the few travelers who dare to pass every who knows how many centuries.

Hey everyone! Two new spots has been discovered deep in the jungle, a Jungle Glade and a Jungle River Battlemaps.

They don't look that big at first glance, but zoom in, you'll start to see some details. For those of you who want some open space and big maps to place some troops, for long range combat or for sneaking through the trees.

Sky Colosseum

High above in the sky, there is a floating archipelago, and between all islands, there is one that stands out. A beautiful, white, clean and cylindrical building built upon it stands tall and strong.
It is the Sky Colosseum, a fighting arena with a pit in the center that leads to a deadly fall. Shove your enemies to it, or face the fate of the emperor's wraith if you lose a combat.
Either you raise as a legend, or find petunias in the ground after a very long skydive.

Terracotta Necropolis

The old man you met in town seems to be an archeologist, and he said that an ancient Necropolis has been discovered, just a few days away from the city. He marks the location in your map and says that he will be waiting for you in the entrance, eager to discover the powerful artifact secured in the Necropolis vault.
Once inside, and deep down the Necropolis, everything seems peaceful. Terracotta statues, millennia old, watch over the corridors and dusty rooms, motionless.
Suddenly, ...

Suddenly the landscape changes. Something triggers in your brain. Is the mountain shaped like a staircase? You've never seen anything like this before. Even in a world of magic, this feels strange.

How does a rice farm work?

It's a Rice Farm, built in the mountain side. Each terrace is called a paddy, and it's used to accumulate shallow water for planting rice, usually only a few centimeters deep. This is done with the monsoon rain in the rainforest biomes, using a rive...
