The Muster Gatehouse The Muster Gate, on the south side of the city, is where the troops of the Satrapy traditionally mustered when called upon to take action outside the city – such as for the assault on the Knave’s Spire in 1488 or the search for chancellor Kelem last year. The gate is also...

Fallen Temple of Sekhmet The old temple of Sekhmet claws at the barren earth like the ossified remains of a primordial beast, its stones worn pale. Approaching from the south is a sea of ruin where great columns lie in chaotic sprawl across what was once a ceremonial entrance, their broken...

Blackglass Vein – South This is the second of two linked maps exploring a small abandoned mine. Known as the Blackglass Vein, this was a prosperous obsidian mine abandoned after it was mostly mined out. The southern map details the areas of the mine that have been made mostly inaccessible by...

My current character in the next campaign for that group (Fading Suns) is a young Li Halan noble who romanticizes the ancient history of his family - back when they were the most decadent and hedonistic of the noble families of the empire instead of their current status as the most reserved and...

Yeah, the default assumption for my maps is 10' squares. But I also encourage the use of 20' squares, 40' squares, 8 foot squares, and whatever floats any particular DM's boat. Which is why I don't usually list a scale.

The Serpent Lands – Map 3 The Serpent Lands are immediately south of the Autumn Lands. There’s no set scale for these maps, and the items on the maps are not to scale with each other so we can see points of interest like towers, cities, and caves. If you really need a scale for this and don’t...

7x8 so it will fit on a king sized duvet.
